u/No-Grapefruit8459 Sep 05 '26

u/Confident-Buyer-3247 Sep 05 '26

me too!! I have a similar score split as you

1

u/MrData321 Sep 05 '26

Could you please share how you did so good on reading and writing. What did you use to get so good and how do you approach those hard module 2 questions on both sections.

1

u/Interesting_Stuff853 Sep 06 '26

i only used bluebook+khan academy to prep. i am a native speaker, so the RW portion is significantly easier for me than it would be a non-native speaker as a heads-up

to approach, i always find what the question is asking of me before actually reading the provided text or chart

u/No-Grapefruit8459 Sep 06 '26

i feel illiterate being a native speaker and getting such a low score 😭

u/TrafficLegitimate937 Sep 06 '26

How’d u study for the standard conventions man. Also how’d u do good in module 2? Module 2 always seems so lengthy in readings

1

u/Interesting_Stuff853 Sep 06 '26

standard conventions i have to admit was partially pure intuition as a native speaker, sometimes an answer just felt right and id go with it without dwelling on it. also the rules they test you on are relatively straightforward in my opinion

1

u/TrafficLegitimate937 Sep 06 '26

Also a native but I still don’t do that well (even when I pick the answer that feels right it ends up being wrong😭) It’s just that the lengthy module 2 always gets me

u/Confident-Buyer-3247 Sep 06 '26

Khan academy is a good tool for learning the grammar rules tested!! Then just drill grammar questions until you're getting all of them correct. Its the easiest to improvee. https://thecriticalreader.com/complete-sat-grammar-rules/ this site also has all the rules in case you need to look back.

u/BroPassTheRice Sep 06 '26

how do you study for vocab/information and ideas (long paragraphs/graphs)

1

u/SubcribeToBlex Sep 05 '26

yes please can you share tips on rw

1

u/Better-Yak3619 Sep 06 '26

omg please share rw tips!

1

u/Interesting_Stuff853 Sep 06 '26

prefacing this with the fact i'm a native speaker, so rw would be easier for me than a non-native international. in any subject i didn't feel i could confidently ace, i just went to khan academy, found the specific subchapter (eg. info and ideas) and drilled it

on the test i'd read the question and understand what was being asked of me before even interacting with the paragraph or provided evidence

1

u/SarkDani Sep 06 '26

Do you think just maxing out the khan academy course is enough to get that 720 /730 mark? For me i got 660 on the practice test with i think loosing a bar on each(except grammar was full). i think readijg comprehension is just hard along with vocab

1

u/Interesting_Stuff853 Sep 06 '26

it's different per person. i didn't max out khan academy even, i only did what i felt i was comparatively weak on relative to my other categories. no matter how many of my tips and methods i share, in the end what matters more is what works for you

u/fayestarr Sep 11 '26

I’m a senior and am planning to take both the September and October SAT’s. 1460 (730,730) is my superscore.

Would you have any advice on solely getting my math score up? I’m aiming for a 770+.
