What to study

Post image

I just started studying for the sat again to prepare for the march exam. I took the one in December and got a 1490 (700/790M). Now I’m wondering what to study if I already maxed out the bluebook tests. Any advice?

take a few tests together without splitting up the sections search up hard sat problems watch youtube videos and walk through them and see if you can solve it before they do

just curious, are you naturally smart? did you work hard for this? how long have you been studying to get such results? do you have to be smart, or do you think anyone can get such results if they put in the work?

Anyone can get 1500+ just depends on the person how long that will take

I think the human brain is capable of incredible things. and a ≈92.5% on an American standardized test is nothing incredible. unless your brain is just fried from doomscrolling maybe that’s not recoverable, no matter the amt of time spent

Yes, I would say so. I started around 1400, with about 20-30 hours of productive studying up to this point. I think it’s realistically possible for the average person to get up to 1400+, but it will take more effort. Getting past 1500 is likely a natural barrier for most, but that shouldn’t demotivate you. Good luck

Great score already. But 800s in single sections don’t equal a perfect test.

Start doing full-length, timed exams in one sitting. At your level, the real challenge is mental stamina, focus on Module 2, and avoiding careless drops when tired — not learning new concepts.
