SAT vs ACT

So I've been studying to take the September SAT, but am thinking about taking the ACT if I do poorly. Anyone have any advice on how much studying it will take to get a 34+ ACT score, and whether I should even take it or retake the SAT if I do badly? For reference, I usually score low to mid 1500 on my SAT practice tests if that gives you an idea of where my skill level is at currently. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Practice Test Vs Real Test

As what the title states. I want true answers, bc I’m very confused. Some ppl say they’re accurate, others say they’re way easier, and some even went as far as to say Module 2 on a PT is the same difficulty as module 1 on the real thing. I’m rlly stressed so pls let me know. Are the real questions harder than PT and the QB, especially the new questions, or is it js a psychological effect that makes the real test seem more daunting? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is this a viable strategy?

So I'm taking the September SAT, and I was wondering if after I've exhausted the SAT question bank, I could go back and redo all the problems? I'm not going to solve each of them normally, since I would know what the correct answers are for some of them, but simply going back to carefully analyze why each answer is right/wrong, which details in the text points to that specific answer, etc. Any advice, pls let me know.

Best next steps?

What would be a logical next step to keep my skills at the same level, or improve my skills before the test? I'm prepping for the september sat btw, and it's still a decent amount of time away so I don't want to lose the skills I've built up in this time period. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Extra Resources (ELA)

So I've used up the SAT Question Bank by CB, and Khan Academy, and Aniko ai doesn't seem that accurate/faithful to official material. I'm looking for more resources. I'm struggling on the hardest information & ideas (inferences) questions right now, so I really gotta drill down that section specifically. Are there any free sites you would recommend with lots of questions for ELA that don't use CB questions?

How to do inference questions?

Inference questions are the bane of my existence. I always get these questions wrong, i see how I got it wrong, and it makes sense, but when I go to do another one, I get it wrong again, and I'm talking about the hard ones. Like how can you tell which answer choice is right? Some questions, none of the answer choices include details from the evidence, and for others, all of them have correct details, and where do you draw the line between an unsupported assumption and a correct inference? Any tips are greatly appreciated!

SAT Practice Test PDFs as practice material?

I js discovered these and as I'm currently running out of good practice material (khan academy & question bank), I was wondering whether these would be good for me to get in some extra practice? Obv, not as full practice tests but to help with pacing and js doing questions in general.

In case u don't know what I'm talking about, here's the link: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/practice/practice-tests/paper

Thoughts on Aniko AI?

Some people say it's good and other say it's bad. I've been using it for a little bit but I just find its questions weird and inaccurate to real college board material. Also, even if you make a tiny mistake, the score prediction drops like crazy and it just really messes with my brain and stresses me out. Anyone else having similar experiences?

Btw, I already score 1500+ on real college board practice tests so maybe it's different for ppl trying to focus on harder questions.

ELA Tips

So I'm already getting 700+ on my ELA, but I'm looking to max out my score. Pls don't tell me something basic like "pay attention to details" or "make sure the answer is supported by the text." I know all of that but I need help on how to defeat the hardest of ELA questions, like the ones that you literally do not know what the text is saying no matter how many times you read it.

Practice test vs actual test

Does your score actually drop on the real test? And is this bc of the real test's difficulty or just a psychological effect? If so, how can I prep myself for this bc rn, im getting 1530-1540 on practice tests but ppl say ur real score is usually 50 less than the practice test. Is the solution js to keep grinding problems, or is there a better way?

Accuracy of test 7?

Just took practice test 7 and got the score shown below (3 wrong ela, 1 wrong math). I was wondering whether this was accurate, the ELA at least, as that's what I've heard from many ppl online. If not, what should my next course of action be? (I take the sat in september btw)

Is the Oneprep question bank good?

I'm mainly focusing on ELA right now, and I was wondering if the oneprep question bank for ela was accurate to the real sat questions? I've already used khan academy, the college board question bank, and anikoai (it has a paywall to do more questions) for those wondering.

SAT Practice Test Accuracy

I took practice tests 4, 5, and 6, and I got a 1520, 1530, and 1540 respectively over the past 1-2 months. I've heard conflicting views on these tests: some people say they're accurate, some people say they're much easier than the real thing. I just want a clear answer so I know how much more I have to prep. Is my skill really that of a 1500+ scorer, or is it closer to 1400?

Good resources

I've used up khan academy and the sat question bank (excluding active questions bc i dont wanna skew my practice test results), and I was wondering if there's any good free resources to use with actual accurate questions, especially reading?

Practice test time spacing

Should I take practice tests every week or 2 weeks? I'm taking my real test on september 12th for anyone wondering.

For those wondering how I will do tests every week, I'll take the real bluebook ones every 2 weeks and fill in the remaining weeks with practice tests from aniko ai. Thoughts?

What to do next?

So I took an SAT Practice Test today, and got a 1540 (750 r&w 4 wrong, 790 math 1 wrong), but I'm taking my test in september. I basically mastered all the easy, and medium questions, and my main problem are the hardest ela questions. With this much time, what should I do? I don't want to practice less and let my skills die off and get a low score on test day, but I'm going to have less time each day from now until august 21st. What should my game plan be to retain and improve my skills before I take the sat?

Reading tips pls

So what I'm looking for is the hit all of those challenge questions. I can pretty consistently do the question bank questions but I need tips for those questions at the very top, like the ones that use a crap ton of complex words and massive blocks of texts. Pls, I'm trying to get a 1550+

How accurate is sat practice test 4?

I'm taking the sat this september for the first time and am wondering how accurate practice test 4 is cuz ik the older tests are different and practice tests 1, 2, and 3 got removed from being too inaccurate. Knowing whether this test is accurate or not will help me choose what to study and how much i should study. Any advice is greatly appreciated
