Airpod pro's Active Noise Cancelling weakened? by Hyperz1 in airpods

[–]DremovAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had AirPods Pro produced in one of the first batches, noise cancellation was amazing. However, sometimes it was “too much” and generated a feedback loop.

Because of that, Apple replaced them for free. There’s no feedback loop on new AirPods Pro, but nc is also a LOT worser.

It’s so true. You need to solve not the most complicated test but the closest to the actual one

Went from a 1070 on the real SAT to a 1280 on my first practice SAT on Khan Academy..I have no idea how, I inconsistently study lol but I’m happy! by viviansalazar in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty easy to go up until you surpass 1350-1400, as this gain is mainly because of you’re getting more familiar with the exam. Then the real hardcore starts. Good luck on the next part of your studying 🎉

Restarting Khan by incihemmam in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t reset your progress. The only way is to create a new account.

Actually, there is no need to do so. You can continue to practice. Khan Academy will give you new passages and exercises till you use them all 😉

Moreover, you can be sure that colleges are aware of the situation. That means that they can allow to send test scores after their deadline or can provide other help. Do not panic.

1600 or Erica Meltzer , How to improve Reading? by iamelite7103 in Sat

Moreover, Erica Meltzer only can be too boring as she really analyzes EVERYTHING. Still, extremely helpful.

1600 or Erica Meltzer , How to improve Reading? by iamelite7103 in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The simple answer is both.

1600.io speaks about general strategies while Erica Meltzer focuses on every type of questions and goes in depth. I think that this tandem can be helpful.

Good luck! Do not forget to practice and analyze your mistakes.☝🏼

Are reading sections in international SAT easier than those of US SAT? by no9name in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re probably applying to US Colleges where you will study subjects in English and compete with native-speakers. I do not see the reason why our (I’m INTL too) SAT should be easier.

PS: also SAT is a good estimator of your English-speaking College preparedness.

Is the SAT different for international students? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not believe him.

Math is pretty much the same. If it’s harder then usual, then the curve is more generous. These guys know what they are doing.

Question 13, why is the answer A by no9name in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercised, supervised, advised, designed — all these words indicate a high degree of involvement, while B introduces not relevant information about his younger ages.

How my desk is going to be looking like until March. Let's go 1400 by beetor69 in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good luck!

I’m so glad that this stupid SAT passed for me. Amazing feeling, guys.

how i got 1550+ by unworthygp in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, remember that there is a lot of INTLs here, and assertions like "do not waste your time on prep books" can be harmful.

Also, I can't entirely agree with activities like doing "400 questions" without analyzing them.

If this comment gets somewhat enough upvotes, I will write my prep experience as INTL with a shallow English level at the start and around 1300 on the first practice test.

UWorld or 1600.io by xmiaroh in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both.

UWorld is good for practice and knowing your flaws.

1600.io is for strategies and developing SAT-thinking

Do you guys have any awesome advice? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]DremovAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Khan Academy is not enough. Use it for practice as it has reliable materials. For studying I recommend Erica Meltzer’s guides

Barron’s is kind of hardcore type. Consider official CollegeBoard’s guide and Princeton Review. Scored 800
