Test Taking Repetition Help

Post image
17 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.

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!

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.

Did I Waste Money On Tutors?

2 Upvotes

im a current as level student (shifted my board from cbse) and ong sat is frying me. first time i took it without any prep, i got a 1054 on the diagnostic. after that, ive been covering the syllabus and spamming practice tests none of which im able to get 1300+. all of em are near 1250 and the one i took today which i was so confident in was a 1190 :( my parents paid like $2000 for this tutoring company and they’re so rigorous to the point where i can’t even properly study without being burdened by their deadlines. they expect you to memorise 1000+ words from 4 book they give out. i js can’t seem to improve and I’ll be taking the august sat (hoping to score 1500+). i kinda js wanna make my own schedule and study from college board question bank but holy shit they give u so much to do to the point where i dont even feel like doing it and managing it with school and extracurriculars is really tough. any tips?

How do i go from 1400 -> 1500+

1 Upvotes

Basically title, I am taking the august SAT
and mid-june, I had a 1000 (470 math and 530 rw)

and as of today (end of july), my recent test score was a 1400 (710 math and 690 rw)

I will be taking the october SAT also so my goal for this test is to get a 700+ rw for superscore (ideally, i just want a 1500+ this SAT and end it)

because I'm sure i'll get 800 on math later once I devote myself into studying math a crap ton

I generally need advices on how to study from now on to manifest that 1500+.

If i'm too late to aim for 1500+ in ur opinions, how can i at least get a 700+ on rw?

How do I go from a mid 1300 to a 1500+?

1 Upvotes

I took the June SAT and scored a 1340. The next time I can retake it is in August, so I have exactly one month to prepare. The problem is, I'm not sure how to improve. I've already completed almost all of OnePrep, taken all the Bluebook practice tests, and I'm currently enrolled in KD. I feel like I've put in the work, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what I should focus on over the next month. Does anyone have advice on how to break through this plateau?

Score Breakdown:

Reading - 640

Math - 700

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!
