I'm so excited to share that I improved my score within 2 months! I am planning on taking the October SAT to superscore my math score to hit 1500. PSA: There is no "shortcut" to improve. I spent 10 hours studying each day. Here are a couple of tips I have: English: - They ALWAYS recycle passages. As long as you understand the harder passages, you will be able to answer the questions that change. - For mod 2 always start vocab —> grammar —> passages For the grammar section, you always check in this order: 1. Run-on sentences. (. ; ,FANBOYS) Make sure you match up one subject per verb, and -ing verbs are NOT a verb! 2. - , 3. Odd one out (3 Plural, 1 Singular) - Be careful with complex lists. (New York, US; Seoul, SK; and Shanghai, China) - When you come across hard passages, always write down notes! You have scrap paper! And you can cross out double-comma filler words. And pay attention to texts in parentheses because usually they are very relevant. - Keep track of the subjects within the hard questions! - This is ultra-specific, but know the word equivocal. It always pops up on tests. Math: - If you are in the high 600s, just grind hard questions only. You are likely making errors on easy questions and have a hard time with time management, but at some point, the questions just turn into a game of pattern recognition. Ultra-specific tips: - If a quadratic has 0 solutions, set the discriminant (b^2-4ac) to be less than 0 - If a quadratic has 1 solution, set the discriminant (b^2-4ac) to be equal to 0 - If a quadratic has 2 solutions, set the discriminant (b^2-4ac) to be greater than 0 - With two similar shapes, the similarity ratio is a/b, the area ratio is a^2/b^2, the volume ratio is a^3/b^3 - The sum of the solutions in a quadratic is -b/a - The product of the solutions in a quadratic is c/a

This is really frustrating that my scores change so much, and I'm really wondering if I can even get 1400+ this Saturday. One of my friends told me to focus entirely on math and get as close to 800 as possible, given my short time frame, but is there anything else I can do? I have tried my best with the math and English, and it just won't go up from the same +-40 range.

I used to do a lot better on the math section, but I just took a practice test, and I got 7 questions in a row wrong at the very end of Mod 2 for math (I got a 690). I usually never have time left for Mod 2 in math, especially for the questions at the end, and I think it's bringing me down a lot. I have tried using Desmos, and I am taking the May SAT, and I need tips ASAP.

I forgot to post it right after taking it but I'm taking the May SAT
