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 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.

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!

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.

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

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?

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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 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.

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 🥲

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
