Hello everybody. My son took his first SAT as a junior in this August and scored a 1350 with his math being into the low 700’s and and English in the low 600’s. He decided to practice throughout September and take the October SAT, but he came back saying it was extremely difficult. His score then decreased to 1340 with his math being in the high 700’s and English in the high 500’s. As a parent, I was super concerned and worried about his English score falling. Currently, his dream score is 1520, and he is taking the December SAT as his last final one. He has been practicing from the question bank and he has been going to tutoring for a year now. He also finished all the blue book practice tests. I don’t know what to expect anymore, but I would like to know what other resources are there to practice from on the internet. Are there any tips for vocab section and the the long graph/table questions in the reading section? How often do you guys think he should be practicing as he is pretty busy with soccer after school every week for an hour or two? What makes the real difference for almost a 200 point jump in one month for the SAT?

Guys I can’t tell if I’m getting pranked is the SAT actually giving people a science score in 2027???

Do I have to report that score to colleges or is it optional?

Thoughts on my score, i didn’t study at all and was kind of sleeping during math. I am taking SAT November 7 and wonder what you guys think I can score if I study 1h per day mostly math. Thanks.

how do i get 1520 9am tomorrow no prep yes im stupid xx

Hey guys, I took my first full length practice test I think also called a diagnostic and I scored a 1240. This was with no studying before, took the psat once but ive never really cared about it before now. Breakdown was 650 on reading 590 on math. What would you guys reccomend I do? And also with that, where do I find resources to study for specific things.

Once you're around 1300, you stop going from getting smarter to just breaking the system.

I studied for the SAT during COVID and ended up getting a 1500 after 6 years. But most of the time was actually just devoted to learning how the test worked and memorizing its question types, rather than actually learning. Take, for example, vocabulary, which isn't particularly helpful to me as an engineer.

Everything from learning that em dashes and commas mean the same case (in which circumstance none of the answers are right) to Desmos tricks that can only help on math sections, the SAT has stopped serving its purpose for high-achieving students.

This is especially prominent since T20 schools often reject students for 30-40 differences, often attributed to who learned the test better.

What do you think?

i got a really good sat score after taking it 5 times and someone in my social circle got envy and started spreading rumors that i cheated (i didnt).

now im worried they might report me to college board and get my score cancelled. ive seen ppl on reddit saying their scores got cancelled even tho they didnt cheat so its stressing me out.

they dont even know when or where i took the test cause i never shared that. can someone actually get my score cancelled just by reporting me? This is my last SAT before early action so i am not trying to risk anything.

I created an SAT studying Chrome extension. All you need to do is go to this link (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sat-question-bank-tracker/eeinjoeegjkhiddemncmbbgianhliopi) and download the extension. And then, go to this link (https://satsuiteeducatorquestionbank.collegeboard.org/) for a ton of free study problems. This got me from a 1370 to a 1560. Hope this helps!

so for me to get into med skl in my country i need atleast a 1580 ,most of my mistakes are accuracy issues idk how to fix them. does anyone have any advice

As far as I'm aware, each practice test contains a Module 1 + A relatively easy Module 2 or the harder one.

So, each practice test contains:
27 questions * 3 modules = 81 questions for RW
22 questions * 3 modules = 66 questions for math

81 questions * 8 practice tests= 648 RW active questions
66 questions * 8 practice tests= 528 Math active questions

1845 total RW questions - 648 active questions = 1197 nonactive questions
1925 total Math questions - 528 active questions = 1397 nonactive questions

Where are the rest??

I'm tending to study in Europe(germany, particularly) as an international student. I wonder if there is some kind of a date for the universities' applications to end. So I can take the previous SAT exam as my last. I don't want to miss the early application deadlines cuz I desperately need a good amount of scholarship.

UVA is my dream school and I got a 1240 on the sat…their 50% range is 1410-1540

I have good extracurriculars and a 4.19 weighted gpa. I’m doing ED and in-state

Everywhere I look it says go test optional but i’m still on the fence about it. My friend last year got a similar score and got it but please let me know cause apps are due soon.

I’ve been trying to find a way to get good practice questions, and i know everyone says to use the official question bank but it just doesnt feel the same as the actual test like im just looking at a pdf?? Idk if im the only one with this problem

ive seen some people talk about cooksat and i just want to ask if anyone knows if their free version is good? are their questions accurate?

ive also seen khan academy as well, but some people say it’s not actually as hard as the real test

lmk if you guys have any recommendations for question banks. i feel like there’s no good free options

Im mainly struggling in Craft and Structure and Lengthy Passage Question hoping to get a 1470+ Above. Let me know it some tips.

I did the free practice test and got a 780. I'm also planning on doing the 125 or just the hard/medium questions of the 125.

For practice tests 4-11 on bluebook, is module 2 for math and RW a mix of difficulties or the harder or easier module in comparison to real tests?

I’m planning to take all the practice tests but I’m not sure about the difficulty level of each one and don’t want to end up leaving the hardest ones till last. If anyone has completed all of them what do you think is the best order to take them? And are there any which can be left out?

Giving the SAT hopefully on the 7th, the blue book tests seem a tad bit too easy, any other sites that can help for more accuracy in terms of the actual test difficulty?

Right now, almost all competive students for top schools are getting near perfect scores. A single mistake or too can drop ur sat a lot, so schools can’t really distinguish. However this is a huge gap among those people. If they increase the celing, it’s easier to highlight proffenicy, and in a better way for schools to see.

I've been getting the same score more or less for 3 weeks now and it is starting to get really annoying. 1550+ people I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore I feel like I already did everything. I basically do every grammar question and I only have a few careless mistakes in math sometimes(not always) but as a international student it is really hard to understand the clues on tricky reading questions and module 2 vocab. What am I supposed to do? there is only 13 days or smth left I'm kinda stressed
