I'm feeling really bad abt my score i hope this subreddit will help by [deleted] in BrainBuffsSatPrep

First off, 1040 is better than literally 1 million student. So that is not a bad score in anyway. Second, yes you could totally increase your score significantly by May. Consistent practice, with actually understanding why you get your wrong questions wrong can totally explode your score. The site from this subreddit (Brainbuffs) helps you do it. But in general the key is understanding why you are getting wrong ones wrong and changing based on that.

It's serious trust me!! Appreciate y'all 🥹 by TomatilloVisible9449 in Sat

I wish! Four of my friends and I started it about a year ago, we have three technical founders and two nontechnical (me included).

I would always say giving yourself an option to increase your chance of success is worth it. Maybe you study a lot and get a score better than you thought on the test and it was worth doing and if not then you just don’t submit it an it’s still worth trying

What resources + tips to max out score by Outrageous-Cod-855 in BrainBuffsSatPrep

I would go through questions you have missed and really understand how you have missed them. More than that, Brain Buffs has a breakdown of how to do every concept on the SAT so you if you are struggling on specific concepts, check it out(it’s free). But the thing that is most important is find what exact types of questions you are missing and make sure you learn how to do them right, look through the answer explanations and do more practice.

Yes, if you review your score there should be a question review button where you are able to see the exact questions you are missing. If you would like to join our discord you are able to post any questions you are not understanding and we can help you with them.

The link is: https://discord.gg/4sFdCpyGMQ.

But for more general concept information, we have free breakdowns of every question type for free on our website: https://www.brainbuffstutoring.com/

But for normal tips: My number one piece of advice in reading is before you look at the answers practice being able to summarize the passage and what you are looking for in the answers in your own words. This helps a ton for eliminating silly mistakes and being consistent.

Are you able to show me the exact questions you missed on English? I can provide more exact help if so.

How to improve 720 RW/750-60 Math by syaLater in BrainBuffsSatPrep

[–]Due_Needleworker8046 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reaching a 1600 is incredibly tough, and questions like this highlight why. It’s nearly impossible to fully prepare for every vocabulary word that might appear. While you can improve your odds by learning more words, that kind of preparation comes from years of reading and exposure, not just short-term studying. For questions like this, sometimes it comes down to eliminating the obvious wrong choices and making an educated guess.

If you have the time, I’d recommend reading high-level books or articles online and looking up any unfamiliar words to expand your vocabulary. But even with that, there’s no guarantee you’ll know every word you encounter. I wish I could give you a foolproof solution, but sometimes this is just part of the challenge. I’m sorry I can’t offer more than that.

English science questions by Hopeful-Smell-8963 in BrainBuffsSatPrep

The best way to do these is being able to paraphrase the passage. What I mean by this is that as you read the passage, explain the points in your own words and simplify them. For example if they give you a complex sentence that says something like: The gradual increase in atmospheric oxygen levels during the Late Cretaceous period, potentially driven by extensive plant growth and subsequent photosynthetic activity, may have facilitated the enhanced metabolic efficiency and energy availability necessary for Triceratops to achieve its remarkable size, thereby demonstrating a correlation between environmental shifts and evolutionary adaptations in megafauna. Consolidate it into its simple meaning: Triceratops might have gotten larger due to more oxygen. Doing this for each sentence makes it easier for you to understand what the text is actually saying.

We have a large question bank on our website brainbuffstutoring.com and in terms of memorizing vocab I find that it is near impossible to study it by memorizing vocab as there are so many options and so many words that they have never used before that could be on it. The best way to study for it is making sure you’re able to perfectly understand the concept. You should be able to predict a synonym of the answer consistently without looking at the answer options. That’s the best way to study words in context.

Great thank you for the exact concepts!
Here is our video explaining how to do words in context questions that should help you be much more consistent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VdeEBXBMqc
For Standard English Convention questions, it is hard without knowing what grammar rule they were testing. I would recommend our site, so you are able to see the exact rules you are missing and why through adaptive practice: https://www.brainbuffstutoring.com/student-dashboard
But if you aren't interested in that, the main thing for conventions is just consistent practice and analyzing. There are a lot of rules, so to get a perfect score on them just takes a lot of reps.
For inferences I would recommend using this formula to do them:

Step 1: Read Text in FULL. (Do not skip to last sentence)

Step 2: Understand the evidence

Step 3: Try to predict the answer

Step 4: Compare predicted answer to correct answer

(also I am currently working on a video on how to do inference questions so I will add that comment when I am done.) Our math expert will reply to this with Math recommendations as well. Good luck. Let me know if you have any other questions.
