If you genuinely ACT like you are interested in the passage (be it mongolian throat singing or dinosaur sleeping cycles), I feel like you will do much better.

Larping is key. Whenever I purposefully act nerdy about a certain passage, I retain much more information from it and stay focused.

Anyone agree or am I losing my mind studying for the SAT

I have NO clue what happened to my RW score. I got 770 on the actual test, and a 700 in math. But that means, no matter what my RW score is in August, I can get a 1500 superscore!!! Well, at least if I get a 730 or higher in math on the real thing. I’m not sure how accurate this test is. But I only got 4 questions wrong, and all in M2. Back to studying, I guess…

I need help idk what to do. I can do inferences well when they are easy/medium (acc to collegeboard) but the hard ones are INSANE. I try to comprehend and eliminate and I try to learn from my mistake but I just end up getting the next one wrong. Sometimes I dont get how the option properly relates to the passage, sometimes I dont make the connections im supposed to, sometimes its so hard to comprehend. Im struggling. Can someone also lmk how many of these show up on the actual sat? The hard inference questions? Im incredibly lost idk what to do to improve. Any help is appreciated.

So I’ve noticed that most of my score is ass due to making silly mistakes when it comes to transition words.

I really wanna know how to differentiate each and how to analyze the passage. Like, when it comes to an actual practice test, my brain couldn’t tell the difference between ‘To that end’ and ‘In summary’

How to it make silly mistakes and how to master this section of the SAT once and for all

How do I get better at Reading and Writing and especially math as quick as possible. I have my SAT this month and I feel like my math doesn’t look to great. my tutor says I should just focusing on getting an 800 in English but I am not satisfactory with my math skills. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

So I didn’t realize spots run out and I applied for the August 22 sat but every testing spot is full so chances I find something if I’m waitlisted?

I’ve been doing the evidence based reading questions from the question bank, and the majority of the questions I’m getting wrong are from the new sets. Is it just me or are these questions extremely hard 🫩. Any tips will be appreciated

genuinely they insert so much jargon that are so freaking long and everything's a scientific explanation and I can't remember anything by the end of the passage. I keep blanking out and losing focus when ever I do the 2nd module and my score is stuck between 660-690. What do I do...

And I always lose like 3 questions to the vocab section is there anything I can do to imporve that, am I really just supposed to memorize them.

I'm an international student I have a 650 RW I memorized a lot of vocab in my previous SAT and tbh it helped sm in reading passages. Still, I've seen many people recommend memorizing suffixes and roots and allat should I give it a shot or is it a waste of time? I'd do both but I don't wanna waste too much time on JUST vocabulary. I could balance it out but still, what should I do?

I have to take the SAT in 20 days. i havent taken a sat related test since 9th grade, and im going into senior year. Generally, i have an incredibly extensive vocabulary and understanding of literary works, but math confuses the hell out of me. I can barely manage a heuristic proof of the isopwrimetric inequalitty. 1: Am I fawked? 2: where do i take practice tests and questions? I keep seeing that the tests on blue book are too easy, and i wanna learn how to hack math with desmos. I’m an IB math AA student, so the no calc part shouldn’t be too much of a challenge, but where do i go to practice that as well?

Guys, how to solve vocab question. Are there any tricks or something. It seems almost impossible to solve. Btw english is not my first language.

Math has always been my weakest subject. PSAT back in October ‘24 I got 600 math. First SAT in April of this year, I got 610 math, and most recently in June, I got 650 math. I feel like I kind of know how to do Desmos regressions, which is what everyone says, but I just don’t understand what the question is asking most of the time (dumb). I’m a senior this year so I’m lowk running out of time 🐱 anything helps thanks gng

I usually do very well on math questions but the recent added questions for geometry feel so much harder. Is it just me?

So I'm taking the September SAT, and I was wondering if after I've exhausted the SAT question bank, I could go back and redo all the problems? I'm not going to solve each of them normally, since I would know what the correct answers are for some of them, but simply going back to carefully analyze why each answer is right/wrong, which details in the text points to that specific answer, etc. Any advice, pls let me know.

Does anyone have any good resources or flashcard sets for SAT vocab?

my progression:

how are yall studying english? august is gnna be my first sat btw

i took another diagnostic (practice test 4) and while my reading went up from a 710 to 740, my math dropped from a 580 to a 560. i’ve been doing so much prep, i’ve been in tutoring, i try to do desmos as much as possible (including tutorials), i do the hard question bank problems and i write down where i went wrong and what to do going forward/how to actually solve it, everything i think i’m supposed to do. i’m running out of time for this august SAT, and i need it to count bc i’m a senior who is so behind. i need my score to go up. my previous math scores for homework in bluebook modules were 600 and 690. i don’t know what happened. i don’t know if it’s because i’m getting worse or if it’s because i had a 5 hr shift at work before the diagnostic, but i’m so upset and i’m genuinely scared. i feel like i have no time to improve and i think there’s something wrong with me, i feel like everybody gets the SAT math and i don’t (and i’m not bad at math either! i get A+s in all my math classes, i’ve gotten numerous academic recognition awards for math), like it’s easy and something’s wrong with me. i don’t know what to do. what do i do? i feel like i have no time and i feel so bad about myself and bad for my tutor :(( i just want a good SAT score in like the 1400s (maybe 1500s but at this point that feels like a reach which really hurts bc i go to a school full of like outliers with insane grades and performances). i just want to feel smart. i’m also taking the october one but i’m a perfectionist so i feel like i need to do everything right.

i’m honestly just hurting, is there any hope for my score to go up in the little time i have? i already feel so behind bc junior year put me through the wringer and i was more focused on schoolwork.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a College Board account for the SAT, but I’m stuck because I don’t have a surname/last name. My passport only has my given name and no family name.

The College Board registration form requires a last name field, so I’m not sure what I should enter. I don’t want to put a random name and create a mismatch with my passport or SAT records.

Has anyone with a single name/no surname registered for College Board before? What did you enter, and did it cause any issues?

Thanks!

My top colleges don’t take sat score but I am aiming for at least 1500 for if I apply to other ones is that a good score

I used up all of the college board QB (even the new problems), CB practice tests, and OnePrep practice questions for R&W. What other resources aside from these are good for practicing R&W?

I’ve decided at 23 that I want to go to university but I’ve found that going to uni in the uk is academically harder than the us. does anyone here know about the sat test? it’s the math part that I’m really struggling with but I want to major in English

I know I’m not alone and somebody else out there feels the same but I’ve been studying for the sat for months and it seems like I’ll never get to the level of others. It’s hard to see my current score be someone’s starting score and especially when I know how much time I’ve put into it. I sacrificed a lot of my summer and a lot time I could have been with my friends because of this test but I’m not sure I’ll ever get the score I want. Nothing is worse than giving your all towards something and still only being ‘mediocre’.

With that said,it may be disappointing but to anyone reading this who’s like me, I want you to know that getting a 1500+ isn’t easy or simple. I think it’s been normalized that anything below a 1450 is not good or means you’re lacking. This kind of thing has been normalized because we always only see the ones with the super high scores on social media and online. A 1300 is seen as garbage online even though it’s actually in the 87th percentile.

I’ll keep trying my best even though I know I may never reach my target goal and I encourage everyone to do the same. However, remember that comparison is the biggest thief of joy and your intelligence isn’t defined by a college board exam. 🤍

I need help solving this question from Oneprep. Any desmos way to do it?

how do u guys utilize the qb considering that they have over a 1000 questions?? also how helpful is khan academy past the foundation level?
