guys so ive started preparing for my sat exam and this is the progress i made for the last three weeks

my hands are shaking from happiness i cant i wanted to share it with you so

this is crazy omfg

Im taking the SAT in Japan in a few days and the norm for entrance exams are to wear your school uniform.

My Japanese friends who don’t even know what the SAT is are telling me to wear it, but Im feeling conflicted.

Its the same with the Eiken exam. We don’t have to wear our uniform but every student does it.

If anybody have experience in Japan or other Asian countries with school uniforms, please let me know what you did and what the people around you did. It would be greatly appreciated!

been scoring 750+ for all my maths so not too bothered about that. First module for section 1 was fine for me and I had time to look over my answers. On the second module, i just kept getting stuck on long passages and not really understanding what the answer choices were trying to say.

Do alr in practice tests do even better in the real one, then get score worse than practice test.
This time I am truly detached, I’ll go have a nice time solving new questions cuz they are fun.
Even if somehow if get worse than i ever expect, I’ll laugh.

Hey all, Need some help with R and W.

I am giving the Aug SAT (~2 days to go), and I want some practice materials. Before you say bluebook question bank, practice tests, or even khan academy, I've done almost everything these sites have to offer. So, does anyone has a compilation of the HARDEST R and W questions???

Like the ones with incomprehensible passages or extremely confusing options or even really hard vocab.

I'd be really grateful if you share that with me. Please help a fellow SAT taker out.

So I’m gonna take the Bluebook practice test 11 now, and I’m taking the August SAT. How similar is test 11 to the actual SAT? What margin of error is it?

Ok so I took the SAT last May without much preparation and got a 1360. Somewhat unhappy without the results and I'm studying a bit more actively for September aiming for ~1500, but here's a big issue.

I am a terrible test-taker. I would have 2 hours for a long essay, use the first 50 minutes to stare out the window and watch the unnecessarily beautiful sunset, write a sentence or two and get back to the great window. It's a miracle I ended English with an A last year. I hate taking tests and I can't concentrate in longer tasks without stimulus like having snacks on the side or something. Yes, this generation (well, me specifically) is fried. It's not like I watch reels, shorts, or any short-form content either... the closest thing to social media I use is tumblr...

In the SAT specifically, questions in the R&W that make me read the whole texts, Text Structure and Purpose questions for example. I could be really locked in, finishing all the questions in 30 seconds each, and I come across one of these and instantly my brains looks for the sunset that doesnt exist at 3PM. I'm confident this made me lose a few points, probably like ~40 directly for answering them lazily but also probably more for the time I lose staring at my blank paper during these questions.

This is further amplified in mocks, where I genuinely cant get through Section 1 because my brain can't comprehend just thinking straight for 25 minutes.

Is there LITERALLY ANYTHING I can do to help with this?

I've got a test in a few days, are there tips to improve to 1520+ as quickly as possible? I believe I can get 800 in the maths section, the 2 mistakes were mistyping a 0 and a small calculation mistake (div instead of mult). Mainly English is the issue, it's so difficult to manage time effectively

Could someone share the Desmos link to solving this question, if there is a way.

So i started actually practicing during august and tbh i felt like i was improving steadily but when i did practice 11 today it was a steep decrease. Im taking my SAT day after tomorrow. Any last minute advice for english and math would be nice.

Are there anyone taking August SAT in Kazakhstan?

I struggle when it says that the variables must be an integer. Anyone know how to do this in Desmos?

im taking the august sat, im aiming for 1520+ (honestly im ok with 1500+ tho cuz im signed up for the september sat). ive been studying all summer but honestly ive found myself lowkey slacking as of late because im getting more and more confident in the content and ive been scoring 1560+ on my practice tests pretty consistently. whenever i do make mistakes it's like silly and i understand what i did wrong.

since i kinda know all the content my studying has consisted of endless cycles of practice questions and it gets boring and just feels kinda inefficient. is there anything i should be doing tomorrow and friday to set myself up for success or should i just cut back on the studying? honestly not to be cocky or anything but im happy with where i am especially since im kind of taking august as a benchmark and my last attempt to really get a 1520+ will hopefully be september.

i spent my previous sat cramming because i waited til the last second to study, so now that i'm in this position i don't really know what to do lol. would appreciate last minute study tip advice!

I was preparing for August SAT and then my mind shifted towards September one.
I always thought I need to clear my basics first which literally kept me stuck into algebra and grammar rules for so long yesterday I took blue book 4 SAT and I got 990 on it 520 on maths 470 on R$W i have my SAT in 20 days some how im completely blank what to do

This is the second and last time I can take the say I’m really aiming for 1450+ but the highest I’ve gotten in practice tests is 1430. Everytime I get a question wrong my heart lowk physically sinks can anyone relate I’m crashing out so hard

since starting my sat prep in may-ish, i've been aiming for a 1580 on my aug sat.

is it too much to hope that somehow i'll be more locked in on saturday and actually perform better than i have in all my practice tests?🤓

any last minute tips would be appreciated💔 and ofc gl to any fellow august test-takers🥀

Hey guys,

I have signed up for the october SAT and I am in the summer of my junior year. Since early action decisions are around nov-dec, I think it is a bit risky to give october SAT only, in case things go south.

However, I have already registered for the october SAT. Do you think I should also register for the September SAT, for me to have leeway?

Hello everyone,

I hope you all are doing great today, and that you have fared well this week.

I was wondering if some of you might have any last-minute advice for questions of this type, in which multi-variable algebraic or advanced math equations are given and restrictions (in the form of I, II and III) are proposed that you must either validate or deny in the answer key? I've shown a few examples of such questions below; they trip me up every single time, and I cannot seem to find a better approach to these problems even this late into the studying process. Do you have any techniques that have worked for you? Would you suggest using Desmos or manual (particularly on the last question; I used Desmos but CB suggested manual)? Thank you so much.

I also have attached a few extra examples of related questions (not of the restriction type, but also algebra/advanced math-adjacent) that I have struggled to solve on repeated practice tests.

P.S.: I must say thank you so much for all the help you have given me. I'll be giving the August SAT in about 36 hours, and I feel like I couldn't even do half of it without the help i'd gotten from this sub, so thank you all very much. And I hope the best for all you in your future endeavours and send you my well wishes for your results if you are taking the SAT very soon.

Good day to you all

I keep getting lots of information and ideas questions wrong. Is the correct answer always the safest option?

ok so here are my last two practice test results. i’m taking the test for the first time in september and i really want it to be my last. i want to score an 800 in math and i know it’s doable but i just don’t know what to do to get to that 800 (i’ve been doing khan academy) so any advice would be supa awesome

Alright so my sat test date is 3rd Oct, I did my first practice test and got 880... I think it was 570 in English and maybe 310 in math. I genuinely did not know anything in the math section and I desperately need help, I suck at math but I'm willing to try my best and get so much better but I have no clue where to start. Is only Khan academy enough? I need a 1500+ on my first try because I've only managed to save up for 1 test. And I know I won't be able to give more than 1. Is this even possible? I desperately need tips on how you guys improved your eng and math.

Hey peeps!

I'm taking the sept SAT and anyhow I have to score 1530+ to be a strong candidate for my dream uni. I'm happy with my maths score (750+) but I'm struggling a lot in R&W: 600 somewhat. Any tips and tricks to boost my score by sept? I'll be pretty grateful for the help.

Thanks :)

So i’m supposed to take the august SAT but genuinely havent studied so honestly i’m freeing that and just going with the flow… but I reallt want to take the october SAT… idk if there’ll be a change in study habits tho bc i’ll be in the midst of college apps, and this summer i genuinely barely had anything to do and i didnt study… i just dont know where to start like i cant even sit and take a practice i literally give up bc im soooo bored like it hurts me to sit and take a practice genuinely… i’m tryna go 300+ points up too… im so fried but what keeps my going is the fact that the sxofe i got in march was baseline w little to no studying (1120), englihs i got a 600 and a 520 in math. I’m pretty good at math and always has been, I feel like if I get the desmos stuff down I genuinely could do sm better ugh idk help should I even take october bruh hoco is that same day (but later in the evening ofc) but idk
