sat math section is the WORST

Upvotes

the September sat will be my last chance before certain deadlines, and i really need at least a 730 math. I’ve watched a few desmos videos, and i think one james lu math video but i just couldn’t remember any of the tricks and stuff on the August sat and freaked out. does anyone have any tricks to help memorize them or anything? I don’t want to take a practice sat yet since I only have 2 left and don’t know where else to get questions I could practice them on accurately. I’ve always loved math but sat math is just not it.

Sat Superscore

0 Upvotes

I'm reading about superscore and if I realize it right, basically I can skip the whole Reading and Writing section, go straight to math, ace it, and than if I had a r&w beforehands with the score of lets say 650 and 710 math, that would count in superscore 650 and 800 math, despite it was 200 on r&w and 800 on math? I mean that just sounds stupid, please lmk.

I'm scared for results 😭

4 Upvotes

The closer we get to saturday- results day where I am- the more I want to crawl in a hole and hide for all eternity. This august was my second attempt and I had been DESPERATELY trying to boost my score by 200 points but the way that paper went just left me feeling confused as hell. So many people found it easy, and just as many found it hard, so I've basically been left trying to understand if I'm js stupid as hell and found an easy paper hard, or whether I actually did really well on M1 and got the horrid honor of being blessed with that beautifully horrific M2 Math and RW. If i don't get a 1500+ this time i'm really screwed for uni apps so lowkey js praying 😔🪬

Attempting SAT in October

3 Upvotes

Hey guys! I'm pretty messed up now 😭.

My latest practice test's score is 1260 (600 RW, 660 MTH) and I wanna improve to 1450 minimum.

I don't know what to do. I also have to manage my High School Senior year with the SAT. So I kinda have approx 2 hours for SAT every day (weekdays) and 4 hours on weekends.

I have got a lot of material. I bought a tutor's premium portal. So I have access to about 22 extra Full Length Exams, a lot of practice and topic Wise tests of each topic. Additionally, I also have separate practice modules of RW and MTH each.

And also the 7 bluebook tests and SAT question bank.

How should I do a targeted preparation. I somehow manage to get a harder module but get a lot of questions wrong in the harder module.

My Writing section is almost perfect. Reading is pretty bad (Specifically hard questions). MTH is moderate (I get hard questions wrong plus some medium ones also).

What preparation plan should I build in order to maximize my score?

Should I start doing Full Lengths and learn by diagnosing my mistakes?

Should I start doing SAT question bank hard questions?

What should I do??

Please help me 😭😭😭

how do you solve each type of reading question?

1 Upvotes

I recently scored 660 in SAT Reading & Writing, and I’m mainly having trouble with the reading/text-based questions, especially the questions around 5–15.

I want to understand how strong scorers approach each individual question type, rather than just doing more practice without knowing what I’m doing wrong.

For example, how do you approach:

  • Central idea / main idea
  • Detail questions
  • Inference questions
  • Function/purpose questions
  • Evidence-based questions
  • Vocabulary in context
  • Other passage-based questions

I’m especially interested in the exact thought process or strategy you use for each type. What do you look for in the passage? How do you eliminate choices? How do you avoid overthinking?

My biggest problem is also time, so I want to know how to apply these strategies quickly under SAT time pressure, rather than having a strategy that only works when I have unlimited time.

I’m aiming to get my Reading & Writing score much higher, ideally 750+/780, so I’m trying to become both accurate and fast.

What strategy do you personally use for each question type, and what helped you learn it?

Scored 660 in SAT Reading & Writing what are the best resources for improving reading

1 Upvotes

I recently scored 660 in SAT Reading & Writing, and I’m mainly struggling with the reading/text-based questions, particularly the questions around 5–15.

My biggest issue is time. I often understand the passage and the question, but I take too long to reach the answer. I also make an occasional grammar or vocabulary mistake, but I’m mainly trying to improve my performance on the reading questions so I can get a much higher score.

I’m looking for recommendations specifically for SAT Reading & Writing reading practice, rather than grammar.

What are the best YouTube channels, videos, websites, books, question banks, or other resources for improving at these questions?

Also, what helped you most with increasing speed without sacrificing accuracy? Was it mainly doing lots of practice questions, learning a particular approach, timing yourself in a certain way, or something else?

I’m aiming for a very high Reading & Writing score, so I’d like resources that can take me from around 660 to 750+/780.

Would especially appreciate recommendations from people who have significantly improved their score.

Should i take a SAT course.

2 Upvotes

I just started a levels and none of my subjects is mild

Cs chem math and phy

My school started a sat course in the afternoon after school time .

My school is very far away like 30 mins away and the course fee isn't very cost friendly for my family. I will need to go school again, just like two hours after coming home. And each class lasts for 2 hours meaning. It will disrupt my studies at home . I found plenty of resources online for sat preparation.

On the other hand i have zero experience with sat and its patterns. I'm very good at maths however English isn't my strong subject. So im worried. Our school requires us to clear sat in the first year of a level.

Do i need a course to score well? Is it worth it?

SAT Study Plan Help

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a rising junior, and I feel like I've been mindlessly studying for the SAT for the past 2 weeks. For reference, I've been spending around 2-3 hours on Khan Academy every day, doing mostly the ELA section, while paying barely any attention to math (idk why, even though I do enjoy math more). I've also watched some James Luu videos and taken 2 bluebook practice tests. I feel the way I'm studying currently isn't effective, and I would like some recommendations on how I should format a study plan. Also, I registered for the Sept. SAT a while back, but I was on vacation, so that is most likely going to be practice for the Nov. SAT. I'm aiming for a 1530.

Thanks!

Scoring higher on actual test than practice?

3 Upvotes

I consistently perform better on the actual test than the practice ones so there’s no real way to tell where I’m at. On my practice tests, I score ~650 but in June, I got a 700 on math.

I’ve been studying for the past two months, studying every day the past month and I’m struggling to bring my math score up. I’m trying to bring my 700 up to 770 but it feels impossible. I do a bunch of practice problems and watch videos. I know how to use Desmos, but my practice tests still don’t improve. I’m not even sure if I should take the September SAT anymore because I don’t know if I’ll be ready in ten days, but I already know this month and the start of senior year is going to be crazy so Idk if it’s worth taking October. I’m just really not sure what to do here, any help would be appreciated. I feel rlly dumb rn pls help

Study strategy to go from 1220 to 1400 plus

2 Upvotes

I’m basically writing on Nov 7, and I’ve had a ten month gap between my ib maths ai sl classes and the present period (n25 batch), so I’m very rusty with my maths. I did a practice test to see my baseline and got a 1220, 550 for maths and 670 for english. I’ve been doing khan academy modules to brush up on my maths but I feel like I’m still not really getting the concepts well, what’s a good study strategy to achieve a 1400 plus? Anyone on the same boat that could provide their routine or the resources they use?

command of evidence (quantitative)

2 Upvotes

As I was going through those questions, I just realized that you have to do many things to solve them

1- you need to read the whole thing ( like just read the non-essential stuff real quick until you get to the claim or conclusion just to get an overview of what they're talking about)

2- you need to figure out what conditions they gave you: like if you need to compare two categories over the whole period that presented in the graph or if you need to compare all the categories togther or...... etc

3- you have to know how each graph works [ grouped bar charts : tables : bars : lines ] cuz I think everyone of them has its own features. For instance, in grouped bar charts they might ask you how close the the two bars from each other and stuff, which I haven't seen in the other graphs

The hardest thing I found is to find which category you need to say or compare to support or weaken the student's claim/conclusion.. so if you got some information how to spot them so quick just share it with us
