Because I always have to send this dm, I thought I would just make a post: The Core Strat: Accuracy Over Speed Do NOT read faster: Trying to speed-read ruins your accuracy. Grabbing the "main idea" from a quick skim is way harder than it sounds. The real trick: Fully understand every single line. Get exactly what the text is saying the first time so you don't waste time rereading. Emergency fallback: If you are totally running out of time (this doesn't work 100% of the time, but it helps), read the first line and the last line to get the general idea, and just skim the middle. How to Train Read heavy texts: Practice with dense reading material, like articles from Nature. Annotate and summarize: If you can make clear annotations and write the simplest but strongest summaries for those dense articles, the SAT passages will not be nearly as bad. The Test-Day Execution Plan You have to make the test work for you by creating the easiest test possible. YES, skip questions! Here is the exact order to tackle the test: Phase 1: The Quick Points: Do all the vocab, grammar, transitions, and student notes questions first. Try to get 100% accuracy here. When you finish these, you will be left with a LOT of time. Phase 2: The Vibe Check: Go to the comprehension questions. Gauge the difficulty and length of the passage. If it seems short or the question looks easy, do it. Phase 3: Highlight & Bail: If a reading question is taking a lil longer, just leave your highlights on the text and move on immediately. Tackling the Leftovers Save the super long questions for the end. Usually, I am left with something like 2 graph/chart questions, 1 long passage, and 1 dual comprehension question. I like to attack them in this order: First, Graphs/Charts: These take time because you have to read both the visual and the text. Next, The Long Passage: it already has my highlights, so I can just read those highlights and choose the best answer. Last, Dual Comprehension: because I just hate them but they r easy to guess on

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

I will be leaving this community for a little while. I will probably be back but if not you guys helped me a lot so thank you!

where can i find SAT practice that let me do a specific type of question like aniko?

Guys I've been getting a lot of questions about how i prepared and what I did to go from a 1360 to 1490 with basically one month of prep and much more so I decided to make a website were you can access all the resources I used how I used them and also some practice questions around 500 so yeah it's all for free no ads no nothing it's been given in my bio so yeah have fun fellas and ofc best of luck to everyone for there exams. My final gift to the community Screwthesat.online (ignore the name) I'm open to feedback guys will update the website more from tmr onwards as I've hit my limit for the day.
