/r/Sat

A forum to discuss the SAT and forms of preparation for taking the test. Please use this subreddit to ask for and offer help and to discuss both the exam itself and news about the exam.

Welcome to /r/SAT! This community aims to promote discussion of the SAT and of various methods to prepare for the exam.

Rules

1. Be nice. Constructive criticism (“You should try to raise your math score if you want to apply to MIT”) is fine, but cruelty, bullying, and harassment are not.

2. Discussion should be on-topic. All posts should have some clear connection to the SAT. Requests for homework help and generic inquiries about college applications belong in other subs.

3. Post titles. Post titles should be substantive. Single-word and all-caps titles are not allowed; neither are low-effort titles like “Please help.” When asking for help with questions from tests or books, include the source of the question in the post title. Examples of appropriate titles might include "Help with writing question from Bluebook Test 2" or "Help with question from Erica Meltzer grammar book."

4. No crowdsourcing of easily Google-able information. If you are wondering when scores are released or whether you can use your favorite calculator on test day, please use a search engine before asking in r/SAT.

5. No unanswerable or excessively subjective questions. Do not ask whether your score is “good” or whether it is “possible” to improve by a given number of points within a given time frame. Do not start new threads asking for score predictions; score prediction requests are permitted only in the official test day and score release discussion threads.

6. No advertisements or solicitations. Do not use r/SAT to promote free or paid products or services. Do not use r/SAT to promote your website, app, social media profile, or YouTube channel. Do not attempt to circumvent these rules by telling users to PM you or to contact you outside of the sub. If you need clarification, please contact the moderators.

7. No copyright infringement. Do not post links to, or otherwise direct users to, pirated versions of books or other resources under copyright. Posting images of individual questions is fine, provided that the images do not display watermarks or other evidence of piracy.

8. No account sharing. Do not offer to share, or ask others to share, login information for any subscription-based online test prep services or products.

9. No cheating. Do not use r/SAT to circulate any leaked test content, and do not use r/SAT to request or offer any sort of cheating assistance. Anyone caught using the official test day discussion threads to solicit or offer time-difference-based cheating assistance will be immediately and permanently banned.

10. Post and comment in English. Because English is the only language that all moderators can read, all posts and comments should be in English. Sorry, but we have to be able to moderate the sub, and we cannot moderate posts and comments that we cannot read and understand.

Scared about SAT's

My freshman year I was in and out of the hospital and missed the majority of school. I maybe learned like 3 weeks of algebra. I'm a fast learner. I excell with English. But I got homeschooled and taken from my old family and started slacking off. I basically didn't do any math for 2 years bc I was on edgenuity. I took college history and English and worked my ass off in those classes but didn't bother with math or science really I tried to pay attention in science but idk I was just so burnt out and have ADHD. It's not an excuse and I feel like shit now for all that wasted time. Recently I started working on algebra 1 on Khan academy but I'm struggling to stick to it, I did it for like three maybe four days and then got sick and stopped. I'll be a senior next year and I'm scared I'm going to tank the math section of my SAT's. I'm literally only on the first unit test on Khan academy to sum up the first unit and there's seventeen and I need to do algebra 2 as well. I'm worried I won't have enough motivation or time before SAT's. I'm just low-key panicking and super anxious about it. Advice and support wanted..?

Is 'SAT Math Prep Online Review' by The Organic Chemistry Tutor Still Useful for the Digital SAT?

A quick question: Is SAT Math Prep Online Review - Algebra & Geometry by The Organic Chemistry Tutor still useful for the new Digital SAT? I am considering using it as a supplement to Khan Academy and the question bank. Please let me know if it is still relevant; otherwise, I won’t use it. Have a great day, everyone!

College board Blue Book text to speech feature

My daughter has a reading learning disorder- dyslexia. Has anyone used the bluebook text to speech on the SAT? I want to know how well it works, user friendly? Is it a real voice or a computer? Can you choose the speed that it reads? She qualified for extra time but wondering if it's worth trying to get the text to speech accommodation?

Prep pros Ultimate SAT course

Prep pros ultimate SAT course covers both the Math and RW modules. Alternatively they also have just the Math course which is a bit cheaper.

My question is if the RW module is useful? Or should I just subscribe to the Math course, and save myself some money. I am planning to use Erica Meltzer anyways for RW.

Are previous year questions for English helpful

I’ve been told to do previous year questions papers to practice for the SAT. I’m fine with math cause it’s the same but I’m not sure if English helps cause the old format had long passages with several questions to it but now it’s just a single passage with a single question.

Asking online resources

Hello guys, first of all I would like to say that I will ask you which digital resources are good for RW like Acely (I don't know the source names so I just said the only thing I know). I took this exam 5 times and unfortunately failed. I am an international student. Since my math is 800, I want to focus on the RW part. My current RW grade is 600. Can you recommend a digital resource with plenty of sample questions that can increase it to 750+ or 800 perfect? You can recommend a printed book but I have already solved most of them.

How do I even approach this?

Hello everyone, an AS level student here. Can someone please explain how do you even go about starting the SAT journey. Is it gonna be easy or difficult for an A level student? Should I get prepared by enrolling in a different school? (My current one only offers A levels), when should I give it? Should I do the digital one?

Anyone can give their opinion but I'm particularly interested in replies from individuals who have done both A levels and given the SAT.

tips on utilizing khan academy for english?

i am currently a high school junior preparing for my sat in either march or may. my goal is getting 1550+, but my main concern is english (i usually get around (500 to high 600s, but never 700+) (english is not my first language)

i've heard people say that khan academy is really useful, but i am honestly not sure on how i could make full use out of it :/ would it be enough to just watch the videos and follow along?

i'd love to hear about how you guys used khan academy / other resources (especially for vocab) that was useful!

(also, would it be enough to jump from 1400s to 1550+ in a month? i know that it really depends on how much effort i put into, but i am curious if it is possible to get150+ more marks in english)

RW modules from Prep pros

Looking into subscribing for SAT math course from Prep pros. I see they have an ultimate digital SAT course that includes both Math and RW. It’s more expensive than just the SAT math course.

Anyone take the Ultimate course and found the RW useful? Or should I just stick with SAT math from prep pros and use Erica Maltzer to prep for RW?
