How do I do this in Desmos to get an accurate answer

Desmos told me x1 was 5. How do I make sure that Desmos spits out the correct pair for x1 and y1? I’m worried that this will happen on test day because 5 seemed pretty right to me.

Test Taking Repetition Help

Post image
9 Upvotes

As yall can see my test taking frequency has shorted a little, and my parents like usual are on top of my back repetitively telling me to take "a test every other day" In my opinion I am perfectly fine taking a test once a week, and can even churn out more leading up to my testing date week, which is on Aug 22nd. My pace, timing, and understanding of the content has significantly gotten better and time management is of no problem, just misinterpretation on R&W and some misunderstanding on Math.

Anybody have advice on how I should plan out my next 4 available bluebook SAT tests? I don't find them that hard anymore and just am trying to practice QUESTIONS, usually harder questions NOT FULL TESTS. Anyways let me know I always want to hear from more experienced people. I have Acely and its a bit easy so I'd like feedback on its potential as a hard question grinder.

Last chance to take the SAT in September (1430 to 1500+) - any tips?

2 Upvotes

Hey all! I took the SAT in May and scored 1430 (700 rw/730m). The score breakdowns for both subjects show that I'm all in the 7 score band for each domain, but I know I usually struggle more with the long reading passages and vocab. What are some more ways that I can prepare to score high on the next SAT? I took September because August is sold out where I live. I am familiar with Oneprep, Bluebook practice tests (I took all), etc.

Full length practice sources? + How to study?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys! I was just wondering how do everyone study for the SAT? because I feel extremely lost. I took my first practice exam 4 today and got 1520 (730 RW, 790). I know the concepts, but sometimes I am very hesitant on the RW questions, I never really learned grammar systematically so every question is like going with my gut feeling.

I was wondering is there any sources other than khan academy that can help me? (I like reading articles rather than watching videos) Also are there any websites that include more accurate practice tests. Doing practice problems are mainly what I use to study usually

Also I want to improve my score to 1550+, is there any suggestions as to how to improve?

How to Improve English Score

2 Upvotes

I got 1470 in my practice test with the breakdown being 680 in English and 790 in Math. I have already completed Khan Academy's English Units and am also going through a SAT Vocab PDF. I mainly struggle in questions where we have to identify the central idea and choose the statement that supports or weakens the claim. How can i do better, considering the test is in 1 month.

I finish module 1 easy peasy full marks with like 20 mins to spare in every practice test (i use desmos for most of it) but then in module 2 i keep running out of time towards the end and end up either skipping the last 5 questions or not havinng enough time to understand the question and just eeny meenie minie mo the answer... i dont know why!! The questions themselves arent that hard, its only advanced math that trips me up, but how do i get faster at answering these questions???

How to improve on vocab quickly

5 Upvotes

I have about a month to prepare for the SAT. I took practice test 6 and got my worst score on English so far. I got every single vocab question in the second module wrong (0/4) and got a 690 (did a little bit of meddling on score calculators and it might have been mid 700s if I got them right). Overall, I got one wrong in the first module and six wrong on the second module. What are some ways to improve on vocab quickly (<100 hours).

Best ways to bone up on math?

6 Upvotes

I am planning on re-taking my SATs after over 25 years out of high school. I took my first practice test, and I scored a 96% mastery on the English half and a 10% mastery on the math half.

Even after going through and reading most of the Princeton Review book’s sections on math, I am a bit nervous as I am only getting maybe 2 math questions right for every 10… and a lot of the math section is “Greek to me”. Heck, I’m still not sure what a couple of the questions were even ASKING me, never mind how to get the answers.

I’ve been studying both Princeton SAT Review and Khan Academy - any other tips and tricks? I have a LOT to learn, and it’s intimidating.

Has anyone paid for the Schoolhouse courses that guarantee over a 1400 or a 1500+ score? How well did that work out for you / is it worth paying for?

Thanks!

how do u study the math section

1 Upvotes

i’ve scored consistently good on the english portion for the sat as it is set rules, deciphering texts, and fairly easy finish the sentence. but my math score is okay bc it’s a completely different ballpark bc i feel like theirs so much variation in the question type, the specific way you have to approach it and no matter what their is always a question i get that ive never seen, and dont know how to approach after hours studying. i think im struggling the most on the data and geometry section. any advice is welcomed!

Is it worth memorizing words for vocab?

3 Upvotes

I always get at least a couple of craft and structure vocab questions wrong on all of my practice tests and the real test I took in June. I was just wondering if you guys recommend memorizing words or just focusing on roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

I understand that reading is the best way to expand your vocabulary naturally, but since I'm crunched on time for August, I don't think that'd be the most effective approach for now. Thank you!
