/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.
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.

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..?
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!
Im signed up for march 8 and want to push for 1500+
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 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.

Hello I just wanted to know if anyone was aware of the test question distribution on module 2 of math and english. Im going according to the sat question bank easy vs medium vs hard. How many hard questions should I expect to see on hard module two. Is it mainly medium or mainly hard problems ? I know its diff test to test but just wanted to see the general opinion. Thanks!
So I used the SAT bank for my reading and writing and out of 20 I got 12. 😭
I got some BIG studying to do
I’ve been studying for months and I keep getting stuck at 650M 😭 I’m taking the sat in May and ideally I want to score a 760+ on math does anyone have any tips
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.
yeah mostly the title. you can ask for resources or study tips or specific question types or when you should start studying for the SAT or whatever i just ask you tell me your score and/or give me some background info bc my advice varies greatly depending on where you are
I’ve been used to studying for the act but ive been wanting to give the sat a shot. are there sites with a test bank or lessons that i could use for free? thanks!
Which is more accurate and better problems that stimulate the actual exam better?
I have a hour a month satisfying 1 hour a day after school including starting at school with teachers soon
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.
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.
Anyone been through this? How you overcame it?
is there any other website for ssqb? i only know https://satquestionbank.org/ but it cannot save progress
is one prep down temp or finally done
Hi! I just knew that if you wanna get more chance in university you have to SAT point but i didn’t know that option and i stuck in. Can you guys some advices if is possible?
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)
They are coming up in a month and a half I want to go from a 960-1250+ is this possible and what is the best way I've heard blue book ,yt vids,Khan academy etc so which is the most useful
Pretty much had found the best SAT prep website, that was free, and had tons of practice tests on it.
This. Is this loading for ya'll or is it down? They did mention server having to downgrade few days prior but im not sure if its just me or the website itself
Been doomsdaying about college and I just wanna say shut the fuck up about your low sat score! If you have 4 digits I especially hate people who have atleast a 1300 saying they got an awful score I’m talking highest a 990 and lower baby!!! Im looking to the REAL bad test taker the TRUE idiots not you overachievers with low self esteem!!!
Can you plz tell me where to prepare for sat that is very effective please because I want 1550 plus marks in Sat so please tell me and also how much time it can take to achieve these specific marks?
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?
Guys, i have 30 days left, i just wanna keep them for all verbal. i finished khan academy math in 2 weeks. Do i still need preparation for math? (i'll also take bluebook practices)
