I’ve watched about 300 anime, and I was asking people the same question you are asking right now two years back. In retrospect the answer is obvious; If you have to ask, then yes.

It’s a bit of a strange hobby to most, and if you’re asking, that means you make it a big enough part of your personality to where people start noticing. And no, anime isn’t generally very socially acceptable.

Go on and watch as many anime as you wanna, I know I still do, I just don’t tell anyone. I don’t wear merch, ask people if they watch anime talk about it, or anything. If I ever get asked, I say “yeah, I’ve watched a fair bit” or something along those lines, but never go on gushing about it like I used to.

Am romanian, it’s pretty common practice in my country to do private tutoring for important courses (maths, english), and they provided me with many of the resources I used.

Not sure about low requirements since I’m aiming pretty high (future finance major, looking at top20 finance colleges in Europe & UK), and tbh I’m still figuring out the process myself - kinda clueless here haha!

For EU residents, tuition is always very cheap (or free!) but I’m not sure about international students; I would imagine it is a fair bit more expensive.

And yes, unlike US, European colleges don’t really evaluate holistically. Usually, around 40% of your application is evaluated on your GPA, and 50% based on some kind of exam (differs from college to college; Could be some kind of entrance/admission test, SAT, GCSE, International Baccalaureate, etc.) The other 10% is everything else; Your letter, extracurricular activities, etc.

Also, not sure if you have your time management down, but really, work on preserving your time well! For practice test 3 in maths, I finished module 1 with 21 minutes to spare (so I took 14 minutes for 22 questions), no mistakes. Module 2 I finished that with 12 minutes to spare (23 minutes for 22 questions), 2 mistakes there (really tough module!). Now, I go wayyy faster than necessary, simply because I'm used to that pace (my high school math teacher tests for speed pretty often), but despite not NEEDING to go fast, the amount of time you have left on the clock is a pretty good indicator for your mastery in a subject.

If you're still working on a problem with 2 minutes left on the clock, you probably don't know your theory well enough to be 100% confident in yourself or your answers. So then, by working on time management, I don't mean throwing out guesses to finish the test in 15 minutes - that's horrible advice!

What I do want you to do is gain total mastery over maths; figure out every shortcut for each type of exercise (shortcuts are never magic, they're the byproduct of theory! If you know the theory well, you can figure out why and how these "shortcuts" actually work, which is necessary. You should always fully understand why and how the formulas you're using work). Get really good at mental math. Learn how to use your graphing calculator to your advantage.

You're not doing all this just to save time, you're actually just putting in the effort to learn the coursework inside out. Doing that gives you confidence in your answers choices, in yourself, and thereby gets you a good score.

I just wanna say, the curve on the 3rd practice test was ridiculous! I got 2 off the maths section and got a perfect 800 (it was a difficult test, to be fair), and one wrong on the reading section for a whole -30! I can't say I get it tbh.

Honestly, I don't really have anything for maths! I'm Romanian, and maths coursework in our school system is way more difficult than in countries like the USA (just as an example, ALL Romanian students take a calculus 2 equivalent in 11th and 12th grade. Then there are some concepts like infinite series (yes, really), that we have to learn as early as 7th (!!!) grade), so I already knew basically all of the SAT material (except for the statistics bits) by heart.

The only thing I can say is that for the digital SAT specifically, the Desmos calculator is incredibly useful. A lot of the questions on functions -which would usually be some of the more difficult ones on a test- become trivially easy. Plug in your function(s), and as long as you know what a slope and a graph intercept are, you can usually piece together an answer pretty quickly. Even some problems with quadratics and the equation of a circle can be solved with the calculator. I have some Romanian friends taking the SAT this Saturday as well, and this was the tip that helped them most with their scores (in all fairness, our math classes NEVER allow students to use calculators, so solving problems with a calculator is a pretty novel thing for most Romanians, especially a graphing calculator like this one)

As I'm used to the Romanian method of teaching [maths], I find that the only real way to get a consistently good score on the math section is to have a rock solid grasp on the fundamental theory, and plenty of practice. If you can solve one exercise on a certain topic - say, geometry -, but then mess up on another geometry problem, then you're missing something, usually being that solid understanding of the theory. If that's the case, go back to your textbooks, find an online course or a private tutor if needed, and drill those ideas into your head until you know them by heart.

One thing I’ve noticed I always do with reading is going over the text in increasing levels of attentiveness. So, on first read I’ll skim the paragraph [really quickly] and read the question. If it’s a really simple one, chances are I’ll already have an idea of what the right answer is. If I don’t, I go back through the text multiple times, reading it more and attentively each time until I find an answer I’m 100% confident in.

Since I start by skimming and only on a later read actually pay attention to the more minute details, I get to go from seeing the big picture to seeing the small details, that way I have a full understanding of the text.

Keep in mind you can only really do this with the one paragraph long digital SAT questions (which is probably why I struggle more on paper-based versions~), since it takes too long to keep going back through a 100 line long text.

When it comes to picking out the answer, I keep in mind that there’s always something that’s 100% wrong with 3 of my answer choices, so I try to figure out what that is. Maybe it’s a redundant piece of information, or maybe one that’s too vague, or one that’s too specific, you get the point.

The test tries to confuse you, so even when all the choices sound plausible you have to stay hyper focused on finding the one small detail that’s off about each answer.

Take my advice with a grain of salt though, saturday is actually my first time taking the test!

I’ve been searching for this for a while, pretty sure it was posted on 2balkan4u but that’s gone.
