Tips for score increase from middle 1300’s to low 1500’s

10 Upvotes

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?

Got my SAT in about 10 days and rn M stuck in 1100s and M aiming for a 1500. Ik it sounds unrealistic to jump a +400 in such less time but if any of you got any tips for me to improve and achieve 1500 or closer to it, it'd truly mean a lot to me. M extremely worried cause I really need a good score in order to get into a good uni abroad. I'd be really grateful if your tips help me in that!!!

Am I the reason I failed the SAT?

4 Upvotes

For starters, I'm about sophomore year of high school. The thing is, I don't even go to school or have an education. I'm "homeschooled" which is what my parents like to call it. So they give me a ton of work outside the course work, and this is an important detail. So I was failing SAT prep, to the point i was scoring 980's every time I took it. Things felt hopeless, since I never even wanted to attend college.

So anyways they would yell at me so bad and push me around cuz they weren't happy with the score, and they made me take a full length practice test every day and post it to their family group. As you can imagine, it was tiring and I began to resent taking this at all.

On the day of the SAT results, I scored a 1000, which is obviously not enough for Zell Miller scholarship. I should have went to a proper high school and do regular GPA stuff.

1380 to 1450~ tips?

3 Upvotes

Hey, on the september SAT I got a 1380 (740 maths, 640 english), and in english my mistakes are in information and ideas mostly (i lose points in others too but mostly info and ideas), and in maths its mostly just silly mistakes like forgetting a sign or misunderstanding a word problem. Tips to go to like 1430+? Preferable around 1450. I’m taking the SAT again on November 7 and then most likely December 5.

If you had enough time for each reading and writing question, how could you consistently select the right reading answer—meaning you would be certain of the correct response?

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

1400 -> 1500 advice?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I scored a 1420 on the SAT but needed a 1500. Probably isn’t the first nor the last person who will ask this question but currently feeling quite lost on how to get the score up. I don’t feel like I deserve this score since i feel like the test is quite easy after comparing to other friends who also took the test and the practice test. I am quite anxious since November probably will be my last shot.

I have the November SAT and have tried to study but just feel quite lost on how to perfect those last few points. Any advices are very very welcome(desperate). November is just a reach away but I am WILLING to try any of the suggestions.

Right now I am doing the collage panda sat math book but I feel like it just doesn’t match the sat test and I am waisting my time.

Should I submit a 1240?

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.

They decided the Holy War (BYU vs Utah) should be at 10 AM, which is like a crime in itself. I already have a 35 ACT and a 1490 SAT, so should I cancel my Nov SAT to watch the Holy War since I live in SLC where its happening and I gotta rep the U

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!

not sure if anyone ever written about this but i keep thinking about this. what if i study really hard to ace the RW section and not care about math then retake the next month only studying math and acing math, then i have a really good super score. does this make sense to anyone else and is it a good strategy? i’m already scoring mid to high 600s in both sections so their wouldn’t be that much of a score discrepancy between the two tests. meaning say i get an 800/660 then next test i get something like 680/800
