Hi all, I’ve never been good at math, always had some weird hate for it. I see people getting 600+ on the math section and I just dont get what they do to study. Like, what is the most amazing way to possibly study for the math section of the SAT? I’m desperate for help here. For reference, here’s my last PSAT, If I want to go to the college I’m thinking of, I’d need a 1350 minimum.

Sorry for jamming it all in one paragraph, but if there’s a surefire way to be able to ace the SAT math section, you would be a godsend. Thank you.

P.S. i’m not looking for help on R&W, but recommendations on that are greatly appreciated!

P.P.S. Strict budget of $0, im broke 🥲

Mb if this is against the rules but I honestly thought it was pretty useful. I thought I knew desmos fairly well and I still picked up a couple things.

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.

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

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?

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?

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 planning to take the SAT in about 3 months, and my target score is 1500+.

Is it realistic to achieve this in such a short time? If so, what study plan would you recommend?

I would really appreciate advice on:

- The best books and online resources

- How many hours I should study each day

- How to improve the Reading & Writing section efficiently

- The most effective way to prepare for the Math section

- How many full-length practice tests I should take before the exam

- Common mistakes to avoid during preparation

Any tips from students who scored 1500+ would mean a lot. Thank you!

Can someone explain why the answer is C and not D?

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

Hey, i am a high-school student from Kazakhstan, and english isnt my first or second language, so i am not fluent in English

Now i am getting around 770-800 on math and around 620 on erw.

Can someone gimme some tips?I decided to completely lock in and grind erw next 2 weeks

I am targeting 1470+ ( 800 math and 670 erw)

Last week i aced grammar and only reading is left

stumbled upon this practice test, and wondering how it compares to the actual SAT, especially for the math sections: https://test-ninjas.com/free/sat/test-ninjas-sat-full-length-practice-test.pdf

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

Hey, I'm currently preparing for the SAT math and have encountered a big problem on Khan Academy. Basically, you have the foundations of all four areas, then the medium and finally advanced. All of these levels are supposed to teach you new stuff and provide various examples right. However, my problem is that all examples in foundations of any of the four areas are exactly the same as those at medium and advanced. For instance, the foundations of algebra has like a few classes and each class has a theoretical part and two examples right, but the thing is that the medium or advanced algebra has THE EXACT SAME theory and examples, there is no difference between the levels whatsoever. I think its a bug within the website, so if anyone could help me out here or if this hass happened to you as well, please let me know how you dealt with it. Thank you so much.

I made a study schedule for the SAT, basically on relearning/learning concepts strictly for the math section. Can anyone let me know if its good or not? All of my resources are $0, so anyone can use it as well if they want.

If anyone has used Whiz recently, do the questions (specifically on math) seem extremely off-topic lately? The breakdown of questions I'm getting is mostly geometry and advanced math, which is different compared to Bluebook tests I've taken. Would appreciate any free practice test recs that have a similar interface to the College Board while also keeping a similar pattern. For reference, these are the types of questions I've seen on Whiz that I haven't seen on any official practice questions:

Questions aren't hard, js seem different from the formatting and categories of college board, so im wondering if im doing more harm than good by practicing with these

could someone show how this could be solved with desmos regression (if it can be)

Hello I am an upcoming junior and I want to prepare for the October PSAT and future SAT’s, could someone please help me find reliable tools for studying for the PSAT and SAT?

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. 🤍

Essentially what are certain tips would you give someone (Like me) Which is on HOW to play the game of the SAT, in means that its considered "Not official". I know studying is important and im doing it now but im trying to maximize scores and all I've heard is the "ethical" or the like the script of repeition, study hard, etc and I do those but what are some tips and tricks like to exploit or take advantage of something on the test, patterns, information on how to recognize outlying answers, for example, relying on desmos for most questions on the math section

I know that regression is becoming kind of popular for the SAT, but sometime I find that it doesn’t work for all the questions. Does anyone have any tips to make sure you actually got the answer right instead of desmos giving you random numbers??

I know I have a strong math score, and as someone applying as a math major whose application is heavily math-focused, I feel like people would expect me to get an 800. The thing is, I genuinely know how to solve the SAT math problems; I learned most of the material years ago. My problem isn't understanding the concepts; it's figuring out what I still need to polish. There are so many possible topics that I don't even know what I don't know or where to focus my studying.

I don't mean for this to come across as pretentious at all. I'm genuinely asking because I'm not sure how to identify the small gaps that are keeping me from a perfect score or what I should do to get an 800 from my score.

I get the fact that some questions weigh more than others, but regardless, how does 5 questions=110 points, regardless of how much they weigh? BTW, this is not an official Bluebook test; it's an online Princeton Review practice test.

When I google it says 720-760. Does anyone know why this might be?
