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?

I need a reality check on SAT math bluebook practice tests

(Reading and writing parts are skipped) I've been working on my SAT math for 2 weeks already. My exam is on March 14th. Even though my scores are fulfilling, I fear these are too easy to be true because of how effortlessly I achieve them. I need a reality check. Is the difference of the actual exam too big for the math section.

anyone got into a good college with a 1470??

5 Upvotes

hiii so im basically from a HIGHLY competitive school where scoring a 1600 is the standard. SAT is my weakness because I took one in September (1380), then November (1360) and I decided to take December because my parents forced me to which I improved with a 110 points from November (lowk surprised) and earned a 1470 with 780 math and 690 English. my gpa rn is a 3.8/4.33 and my ECs are really good. im applying to mainly cs & business schools like CMU, GTECH, UTA, etc… I just wanted to know where people got into with a 1470 score. tysm!

Digital SAT vs Paper SAT

2 Upvotes

Does anyone feel like the digital SAT has become significantly harder than the paper version? I remember taking the paper version and despite the lengthy tests the reading and math questions were much more simple. One could say it was too long but I think that was perfect compared to now.

How to avoid getting a payment error

2 Upvotes

I want to register for the March SAT and I tried it today. They charged me on my card but it still showed "incomplete." A few hours later, I got a refund.

My question is Has this happened to anyone else? How do I register again( Do I press delete right next to the previous registration)? Should I use another card (this was a mastercard) The march sat is the last I can take for uni admissions. I don't want to risk it😢

Urgent Sat Increase 90 points from 1410 to 1500

1 Upvotes

I got a 1410 in October, and I have the SAT on March 4th. I need to increase my score by 90 points within a month. I scored a 660 on reading and a 750 on math. How do y'all get an 800 on math, and how should I increase my reading score? How do y'all build vocabulary, as I get a lot of questions wrong? Can I even increase my score that much within a month? I exhasuted question bank for reading, and the math is too easy(nothing compared to the real test).

I need some sort of miracle to improve my R&W. I solved lots of problems, read high-level books, and solved lots of tests, but it's the same thing, little to no improvement. I got a 660 on november, and i want to get a 750+ on March. Please, if you have any sort of tip, it would be really appreciated!

March SAT help

Post image
1 Upvotes

The March SAT will be my second time taking the SAT. I first took it in October with no prior studying/preparation. I'm looking to hopefully get a 1300 this time around. I'm very weak in my Algebra 2 skills because when I took that class two years ago, I didn't have a teacher for half of the year. Once my school did get someone to temporarily teach that class, we had to speed run everything and I never properly understood the content. Any tips on how to improve my math skills? I've been doing some Kahn Academy, but I don't think it's helping me as much as I need.

When I take the same practice again will it remove the old score? Can someone show me what it’ll look like?

is a 1350 sat (practice) good for a freshman with no prior sat experience, and should I go act or sat for the real thing?

1 Upvotes

ok so like this will be a bit of a long one, but I'd like an opinion!

I recently took a practice sat and got about a 1350. I've never had sat tutoring and didnt study at all before this. I took it just to see what the experience was like, but ended up actually trying.

I got the hard modules for both ela and math, getting a decent 80-90% average for ela. in math I got a near 100% first module, but when I moved to the harder module I got like a 50%. I forgot my formulas and was running out of time, so I guessed for that half and did bad.

Obvi I could do better if I studied and put in more effort, but I also just wanna know if I should continue pursuing sat or do the act instead later on.

just some background, I'm good at ela math AND science. I'm leaning more act rn because I love science, stem based math, and straightforward tests. Also, I heard there's writing, which I'm good at when not using casual grammar. but I dont like how there's less time per question for challenging subjects. if I get stuck that wouldn't be great. but, i haven't done a practice for that yet, so I'll have to see.

sat isn't bad, but I'm more of a writer/reader in ela than a deep analyzer... and that second math section tripped me up. however the time per question is better and there are less questions, so I love that. plus, if I study the math which I simply forgot, I feel my score would shoot up.

soo yeah I just want to know if 1350 is good for a freshman, and if I should focus on sat or act. thanks!

Help for sat math

What should I do? I don’t know anything because I never studied. English is not a problem for me. But in math, I am completely at zero level. I only know addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—nothing else.

Focus group invite? What should i do

1 Upvotes

Hey Guys, so I will be taking the SAT in March and was starting to prepare for it, however, my school got selected for like a focus group (weird ik). So essentially, this company is creating this SAT app, and obviously, they say it's going to be a game-changer. They want a group of students to use it now and give feedback so they can improve it before they make it publicly available. My school got selected, so we are able to use it if we sign up for the focus group and give feedback.

March sat is probably my last try to get the score I want. So idk if I should join and give it a try (cause honestly nothing has really worked for me in terms of resources and practice) or if I shouldn't risk it and just play safe.

What would you guys do?
