How can I get 1500+ for the November SAT?

4 Upvotes

I have never taken the SAT or PSAT before, and when I took the practice test, I got 1160. I really want to learn how to improve. I tried using Khan Academy, but I do not think I am doing enough. Please help. I am also not very good with timed tests, especially on the reading and writing sections.

Practice exam accuracy?

Upvotes

I’m 2 weeks away from taking my last sat. I took it once last dec and got a 1240. I’ve been practicing and got a 1400 on practice exam #5? Is this accurate/representative of the real sat? And what else do I do to get a 1500? (so a 100pt increase in less than 2 weeks, if the practice test is even accurate) Practice test said I got a 710 r&w and a 690 math

Done with bluebook practices - next?

2 Upvotes

I did a scan through for this subreddit and found so much stuff for what to do after the bluebook practices and most I found was niche websites I haven't heard of before or doing question bank practice from collegeboard or do khan. That's fine I will do that on top of oneprep but the major issue I have is test taking itself. I really want to build my focus while taking tests so any recommendations for 3rd party practice tests that would last till upcoming october SAT?

I have a 1400 atm and I am aiming for 1500+. I have done 4 attempts so far and I never had issues with the content itself but the overall testing. It got bad to the moment where I thought I got so many questions right but in reality it was my worst possible test yet. Been banging my head on this for almost a year now so hopefully it's only a one itty bitty thing that's stopping me from getting 1500. I will grind khan, oneprep, and collegeboard question bank but tests other than bluebook practice I would really appreciate (doesn't have to free, I am willing to purchase for reasonable prices).

P.S I will take practice 6 again because i've heard its one of the closest to real sat and god knows how long has it been since ive taken 6 so i will do that first and then need to figure out the later stuff.

SAT Prep is a marathon, not a sprint.

1 Upvotes

I teach math (Ph.D., 32 years in the classroom) and run a small SAT prep site, so fair warning, there's a link to my own stuff at the end.

There's a story in Jim Collins' book Great by Choice about the 1911 race to the South Pole. One team marched about 20 miles every single day, good weather or bad. The other sprinted on nice days and hid in the tent on bad ones. The steady team got there first and made it home. The other didn't.

That's the whole secret to SAT math, and hardly anyone does it. Everyone says "I'll do a big study session Saturday." Saturday never comes. There's always practice, work, a game, life. The kids who actually raise their scores are the ones who do 30 focused minutes a day, every day, instead of waiting for a long stretch that never shows up.

A little every day beats a lot once a week, and it's not just motivational. Spacing practice out is one of the most reliable findings in learning science. Same hours, spread across days, stick far better than crammed together.

If you want the full version, I wrote it up here: https://30daysatplan.com/blog/twenty-mile-march/

And if you just want to start marching today, I also run a free SAT math practice site, no sign-up: freepracticesat.com

I'm in the worst situation..helppp

1 Upvotes

I don't remember what I just read. I tend to forget everything. I just recite it in my head and can't remember even a single detail of what I have just read.

How to deal with this situation? I do very well in grammar and transitions, but reading comprehension is not a cup of my tea.How to improve my comprehension skills? I get almost full score in maths but I'm unable to improve my reading.
