I studied for around 8 months for this upcoming sat in May where I took it and jumped 250 points I was super happy and then now I find out I get cancelled I’m actually so pissed dude I can’t believe this. I guess I have to take it in August but now i gotta pay another 70$ bruh.
What's my potential of improvement if I'm planning to take the August SAT? Is a 600 achievable for me?
*result of first Bluebook practice test (with no prep) was 1130: 440 RW, 690 math
The first time I took the SAT I got a 1330. I got yelled at for about 3 hours by my parents(the goal is a 1560+), and my relationship with them became pretty strained for a while after. And this time I got a 1380. I have yet to tell them my score, and they've been asking me if they have come out. I am not ready to go through this again, so I have told them they haven't come out yet. But I am telling them this weekend. However, I just don't want to go through their lectures and have such a strained relationship with them. I'm scared it will be worse this time because time is running low, and they believe I have studied a lot and I had minimal improvement.
If I'm being honest I didn't really study both times, and though I have no excuses I always hit really bad depressive episodes, or bad anxiety attacks and ended up pushing back studying. Of course, it was really my fault so I should take ownership for it, but I'm still really anxious and scared to tell them. The problem is, I can't really tell them I didn't study, and I know they would not understand my mental health issues either. Although I am diagnosed, they have yet to even acknowledge it. Maybe it has to do with East Asian Culture, and not really understanding mental health, but I already know I cannot explain to them my struggles with SAT. I just don't know what to do...
I'm disappointed with myself, and I am scared for my own future and I just don't need screaming parents, or parents that will discipline me. I just can't handle it. I really don't know what to do, or what to even tell them, or how to go about telling them...
So as the title says, my last SAT which I took in March was a score of 1500 (720RW, 780M). How long would it take to be able to break into the 1550+ range? (My Superscore is 1530 with a 750RW) Also is this possible in 2 weeks?
Hello!
I took the PSAT 10 in April and received a 1320.
However, I’m still a bit disappointed.
My PreACT score was a 32, and I’d been hoping for a 1350 or higher for the PSAT.
However, for my top colleges/universities, a 1350 still won’t be high enough.
I’m shooting for at least a 1450— I’ll be taking an SAT prep course over the summer, but I was wondering what other recommendations y’all had!
For reference, I did not study for either the PreACT or the PSAT 10— I took the Practice Test 6 on CollegeBoard a few weeks before the PSAT, but that doesn’t really count (I got a 1310 on the practice in terrible conditions, hence my disappointment with a 1320).
I know I need to work on geometry (oof), but all recommendations are welcome.
For reference, on the PSAT 10, my school’s average for the past few years is a 1030, and my state’s is 859.
Thank you!
I’ve been getting like 1480 and 1490 consistently on every practice SAT I’ve taken and I’m struggling to break 1500. my goal score is 1550. do y’all have any advice to increase my score? right now, I have done every single hard math question in SAT question bank and every hard English question too. I also have taken practice tests and thoroughly review my mistakes (why I got something wrong, what to do in future, etc). My score breakdown usually varies but both are around the same (740/740 or 750/740). Im taking the June sat 😭 any advice helps yall tysm
How can I bring my reading up to like a 690-720 by June sat ?
I scored a 1340 (700 English 640 math) without studying on my school day sat (I watched like half of a yt desmos guide) and my goal is a 1500 on the upcoming jun 6 one. I’m going to dedicate the next 15 days to fully prep as best as I can in order to get the score jump I want but I’m not really sure how to get to that point. I would really appreciate any recommendations or advice that you think could get me to a 1500 in this short span of time or if it’s even feasible to begin with! I hear sites like one prep are good for question banks but I’m not sure what else to do besides that
Thank you!
I have seen people say that students should just use bluebook tests and the question bank because they are the only official ones. Bluebook only has 7 tests. The question bank isn't a substitute for practice tests. Is this really enough? What other tests do you recommend?
I’m a rising senior (class or ‘27).
Just took the May SAT not long ago and got a 1310 (650 RW&660M), I’m aiming for a 1500+. I might take the August or September one for a last try.
Any tips or websites to study with?
Hey everyone, I’m kind of confused and honestly stressed 😭 My SAT Reading & Writing scores keep fluctuating a lot and I don’t know if this is normal or if I’m doing something wrong.
My recent Bluebook practice scores:
620
640
650
680
720
730
700 (Practice Test 11 felt really hard)
The weird thing is I finish with around 15 minutes left, and my old real SAT was a 640, but back then I had to guess questions because of time pressure. Now I’m much faster.
The 720 and 730 didn’t feel lucky either. They felt pretty normal. But then I’ll randomly drop and panic thinking I’m getting worse.
I feel like my biggest issues are understanding some reading questions and making silly grammar mistakes.
I have around 15 days left before the SAT. Is this level of fluctuation normal? Does this look like someone with 750+ potential or am I just getting lucky on some tests?
Any advice would really help 😭
I’m a community college student planning to transfer, and I recently took a full-length digital SAT practice test. My results were very low in math (around 200 range) and better in Reading/Writing, but I still feel like I’m starting from a very basic level.
I want to be honest about my situation: I have dyscalculia and I’ve always struggled significantly with math. In middle school and high school, I didn’t have strong math instruction or support, and I’ve had long-term gaps in foundational skills (fractions, algebra basics, etc.). English is my second language, but I feel more comfortable in Reading/Writing than in math.
Right now, I feel overwhelmed and honestly a bit lost on where to even begin. I want to improve, but most SAT prep advice I see assumes a stronger math foundation than I currently have.
I’m planning to take the SAT in August and I’m trying to build a realistic study plan between now and then.
If anyone has been in a similar situation (especially starting with weak math foundations or learning differences like dyscalculia), I would really appreciate advice
For a better experience listen in shuffle mode. Transparency statement: contains audio and visual OC. Feedback appreciated.
I did not study math at all, but I did study english by watching a few videos on YouTube, doing a decent amount of practice questions on Oneprep, and some of that SAT English Khan Academy course. What do you think? Any other tips?
I have my SAT exam on June 6th, which is like 13 days from now. So, study material choice is essential as I do not have much time left.
Since the June one is my first SAT exam ever, I have NO IDEA how hard the actual test is. (I know that the practice test from College Board is much easier than the actual SAT exam)
What about OnePrep?
I know above 1550+ it more or less doesn’t matter for most applications, but the scholarship I’m applying for has a SAT cutoff of minimum 1580/1590 and even that might not be enough with the SAT leaks that I’ve heard is going around. Anyone who got 1600, would love some advice on how you got there. Thanks.
Im thinking of retaking the exam but im worried that ive reached my limit, but to give context to my scores i had the november one in the middle of my exams so i had no room to study or really change in how i study. The december one however was a jackpot as i had changed how i study and increased how much i solve by alot so im wondering if its worth it to go again and get that 1500+
I got an email from college board that my June 6 SAT was cancelled and I will get a refund. The email states that I can register at a different center, however, if I want to change test center on the websites it says that there is non.
Has anybody been in a similar situation? When did you get refunded?
