r/Sat

if you get 400 points from leaving the entire sat blank , why dont they just remove that and make it out of 1200 instead

I just began freshman year last month and I decided to take a practice sat just because. I got an 1150 (540 ela, 610 math). Is this a good score?

if so what resources did u use? i have all erica meltzer books and the college panda sat

English

Mod 1: easily doable

Mod 2: vocab super easy, grammar doable, super difficult qs from 6-15

Math

Mod 1: SUPERRRRR EASYYYY

Mod 2: VERY EASY TOO

I'm dead sure I got all right in mod 1 (math).

Title says it all.

I want to take it. Never did. I’m curious after all these years if I can. I took the ACT only lol.

I wonder if I need to present I’m going to college or if I can just sign up and go to a high school and test.

basically title.

The stated answer to "why is the SAT out of 1600" is that, originally, the mean section score is defined as 500, and 100 is defined as the standard deviation. Then, they capped it to measure +/- 3 standard deviations (200-800 section scores). Some things don't make sense to me though: now that the scoring is in intervals of 10, why not just drop to last 0? Also, the grading is not longer exactly tied to this definition; the mean and standard deviations drift.

Also, If they were to grade based on stddevs, why wouldn't they just give people's z score? Negative being below average and positive being above average would make sense and the score definition would be so much easier to explain

Any thoughts on this or ideas for hypothetical grading systems?

I have really hit a plateu at the 1440-1490 mark. It geniunely feels like no matter what I do I will always land there. Albeit usually they're caused by stupid mistakes (misreading the question, carelessly choosing an answer, etc.), but I just feel like the ACT would be a better fit for me since the questions are a lot easier (less snake-y questions), but I'd have to be a lot faster which is fine by me. Though, I'm not entirely sure if I should switch or just continue grinding the SAT since the ACT is a lot more expensive in my local currency as an INTL. Thoughts?

I saw a ton of ppl recommend these books for me but im not able to buy them online for reasons i cant talk abt and my local libraries and school libraries dont have them. Does anyone know where i can access it for free?

When i look at online sites that offer either one, i can only find old versions of the college panda math one from 2015-2020 (no new ones were offered) the same with my libraries they didnt offer the newer ones even when asking and they offer 0 of the Erica Meltzer ones.

Also i prefer it to not be download required since my parents locked out downloading random files on my device due to safety reasons.

Hey guys so am giving sat in November and I tried looking on khan academy for English part but can't understand anything.... What should I do ?(Any yt video)?

Pals even my graphs parts is weak of maths...

Any idea how to fill these gaos fast?

Do the SAT have completely different set of question banks for US and International or do they have the same question pool but have variation of the combination individually? I'm confused cuz I heard the US SAT test is harder...
