I recently took the June SAT and scored a 1420 (720E & 700M), but I want to get above a 1500 before September.

I increased my score by 90 points just by using the question bank and using AI like Gemini to generate me questions like the ones I would get wrong on the practice. I did so many of these but my math score still isn't where I want it to be.

I want to get at least a 760 or 770 math. Are there any resources to increase my math score? Preferably free but I wont mind paying up to around 20-30/month. Also, are there any English resources to get me up to a 750ish?

***I'm not sure how to feel about those AI subscription apps. I feel like its a waste of money for something I can do myself on any AI model for free.

I'm signed up for the August and September SAT so I have lots of time.

Give me your best free SAT math prep sites, please.

I'm doing an online 6 week (18 lessons) SAT crash course and have 3 slots left. Message on instagram: armaan_ahsan or here for details!

Hey guys😁

So I'm in my application year and I need a good SAT score (1500+) ASAP. I preped last year by myself using Khan academy and Schoolhouse but my score didn't improve at all. As an international student I didn't really have the time to prepare during the school year so summer is my only chance. I don't want to end up like last year so I was hoping someone could suggest some good programs that have 1-1 tutoring that yield good results. For money, I'm not rich at all so the cheaper the better but it's something my family is willing to invest in. Also any experiences with how to most effectively study with a tutor (e.g., how many times a week, asynchronous work etc.) would be greatly appreciated. My current score is 1160 (660 RW and 500 Math). I'm actually good at math in school but we learn different content than what the SAT tests so concept gaps and silly mistakes are my biggest issue. For RW I haven't really put much effort in yet because I know I can improve it easily (atleast compared to math). My pain point is mostly the command of evidence questions

Hi everyone,

I need to score at least 1500/1600 on the SAT to get into my dream bachelor's program. Unfortunately, because of financial difficulties and some poor educational choices, I've been away from serious math (and studying in general) for about five years. To be honest, my fundamentals feel terrible right now. I struggle with mental calculations, and sometimes I feel embarrassed by how much I've forgotten. I have four months to dedicate to this goal, and I'm fully committed. I've always been a good student when I put in the work, and I'm willing to study consistently every day.

My biggest problem is that I'm completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of resources online. Every time I search for SAT advice, I find hundreds of books, courses, YouTube channels, and study plans, and I end up not knowing where to begin. I don't want to waste precious time on unnecessary classes or mediocre resources. I want the most efficient roadmap possible to maximize my chances of reaching 1500+.

So, if you were in my position, where would you start? What would your month-by-month (or week-by-week) plan look like? Which resources are truly worth using, and which ones should I avoid?

Any advice from people who started with weak fundamentals and still achieved a high score would mean a lot to me. Thank you!

incoming g11 here, torn between studying abroad or here in the philippines (planning one of the big 4)..

i’m willing to apply to as many colleges abroad. should i start preparing for SATs and CETs as well to guarantee top notch rankings or should i enjoy the rest of my school years and prepare in the summer of g11?

790 math 750 ela

ask me anything!

Hey everyone, I am currently stuck at an 1100 and really want to hit a 1550+ by senior year. What specific study plans, schedules, or resources did you use to make a big score jump? Thanks!

It has all the latest editions i need unlike amazon, which is unavailable or outdated. But is this web trust worthy?☹️

Hey, I’m a rising senior in high school and just got my scores for SAT June. I got a 1470 (710 reading 760 math). I am really happy with the score but I am taking the SAT in August and want to improve to above a 1500. Does anyone have any tips? My mom bought me a Prep Expert book to help me but I’m not loving it. I’m also doing college board questions for practice. If you have any sites or tips and tricks that helped you score high I would really appreciate it!

Hey Guys!

I got 1600 on my SAT in the previous August session. People always told me to hold tuitions for it and make money but it never seemed to appeal to me. However, now that I have a bit of free time on my hand, I might be interested.

I would be super grateful if you guys could lemme know the usual rates (per hour), if students would be interested, and how could I target these students.

My next sat is August 22 and my score rn is a 1050 but that’s with barely any studying I need a 1300 is it possible to increase my score that fast and any tips it’s summer rn so I have a lot of time

I’m trying to use Claude Fable 5, or Claude in general, as an SAT tutor, and I keep running into a weird problem.

It knows the SAT.

It knows algebra.

It knows grammar rules.

It can explain questions step by step.

But it often does **not** understand the actual way people are learning to beat the SAT now.

Especially math.

There are tons of TikTok / YouTube-style Desmos strategies that are basically standard SAT hacks now: plugging equations into Desmos, using intersections, tables, sliders, regression, turning word problems into graphs, testing answer choices visually, using Desmos to avoid doing algebra by hand, etc.

Claude can explain the “proper” math solution.

But when I ask it to teach the Desmos method, it either:

gives a generic Desmos explanation,

does the problem the long algebraic way,

misses the trick completely,

or confidently teaches a Desmos workflow that doesn’t actually work on the SAT version of Desmos.

So my question is not really “is Claude good at the SAT?”
My question is:

**How do I make Claude study the SAT the way real high-scoring students and tutors study it?**

Because right now, it feels like Claude has textbook knowledge, but not “modern SAT tutor” knowledge.

I want it to understand things like:

when to use Desmos instead of algebra,

which question types are fastest with graphing,

which Desmos features are allowed and useful on the digital SAT,

how TikTok tutors solve these questions in 20 seconds,

and how to explain that method clearly without hallucinating a fake shortcut.

Do I need to feed it transcripts from good SAT TikTok/YouTube videos?

Should I build a custom project with examples?

Should I give it College Board questions plus the Desmos method for each one?

Is there a way to make it stop defaulting to “school math” and instead teach “SAT optimization math”?

Because for English, Claude is usually pretty good.

But for Math + Desmos, it feels like there’s a missing training layer.

Not intelligence.

Not reasoning.

Just the specific culture of how the digital SAT is actually being gamed and taught.

Has anyone here successfully trained Claude/Fable to act like a real SAT tutor, especially for Desmos-based solving?
And if so, what did you give it?

Prompts?

Videos?

Transcripts?

Worked examples?

A custom knowledge base?

I don’t want it to just solve questions.

I want it to teach the fastest SAT method that a top tutor would actually use.

I have 7 months to prepare, and I have an absolutely terrible history in mathematics. It's not that I am weak at it; I just haven't found it interesting, and now I need it for my target university.
So, in short, I need a 1500 score within 7 months. What should I do? How do I start? Guide please buddies 😁
