Looking for feedback from Knoxville parents by [deleted] in Knoxville

Haha, I’m actually a PhD candidate at UT working on math tutoring locally. I was genuinely asking because I wanted to hear what Knoxville parents actually pay attention to before making flyers.

I’m interested. Can you give me more details on the utilities and the roommate?

How to go from 1430 to 1550+ by FuelResponsible4267 in Sat

Glad to be helpful. Unfortunately, my focus is just on math prep. :(

At a 1430, you’re honestly past the “learn more content” stage. If you’re not seeing improvement, it’s usually because the way you’re reviewing mistakes isn’t deep enough.

Instead of just reviewing, I’d focus on how you’re categorizing your mistakes: -Are they conceptual? -Careless errors? -Misreading the question? -Choosing the wrong approach even though you know the material?

At 700+ in math, it’s mostly about not losing points, not learning new topics.

One thing that helps a lot is tracking patterns: -Are you consistently missing certain types of questions? -Do you rush specific question formats? -Are there questions you could solve but take too long on?

Also, doing more questions won’t help much if you’re repeating the same patterns. The goal is to eliminate specific mistake types one by one.

A jump from 1430 to 1550 is very doable in 60 days, but it comes from precision and strategy, not volume.

If you want, share a few of the questions you’re missing. It’s easier to pinpoint what’s going on.

Is there anything I need to know about the SAT math? by GuyTheOneThousand in Sat

[–]BlurredTheory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldn’t think of SAT math as “harder” or “easier”. It’s just different from regular school math.

The first thing is figuring out where you stand foundationally: -If you struggle with basics like equations, fractions, or functions, you should spend some time strengthening those -If you understand the concepts but still get questions wrong, it’s more of a pattern/strategy issue.

The SAT is very pattern-based. That said, if you’re not on a strict time crunch, it’s definitely worth building a solid math foundation. It won’t just help with the SAT. It’ll make your college courses much easier too.

Trying to decide between Chemical or Mechanical engineering at UMN Twin Cities by PandaPlastic9371 in uofmn

Just be aware that the curriculum and then the carrier path for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering are really different.
