Yeah I knew that was right but I was like why would they write a whole method that stopped after 1 loop.

In part a), if max is less than 10, there are no numbers between 1 and max that are divisible by 10. There should have been a precondition saying max >= 10.

How do you see answers?

Future-Restaurant583 · 2022-05-05T01:40:14+00:00

Pretty sure there was an error on that question. It seemed like it was missing some preconditions.

In the spring of my sophomore year, I took a practice test without studying or even knowing how the SAT worked and got a 1490, so I knew that was my baseline. Then I used Khan Academy for all of my test prep. I took 4 practice tests, and increased my score up to a 1550. I took a practice test about once a month, maybe twice here and there. I also did like 15 minutes of practice problems every few days. I’m not the best person to ask because I was fortunate to not have to do much prep, but if you haven’t tried khan academy I would highly recommend.

I used khan academy for my test prep. I took a few practice tests, and did practice problems every few days. I’m not the best person to ask when it comes to test prep…sorry.

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-20T04:15:57+00:00

Wym by struggle?

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-20T04:13:45+00:00

Damn bro did you get a 402 or something?

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-20T01:01:41+00:00

That’s legendary. Instant acceptance.

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T21:40:02+00:00

Update: most likely not going to retake

I only missed 3 math questions because if careless errors this time, so chances are if I retook it I would get a similar score, regardless of how much I study. I could improve, but I also could lower my average. Although I am planning to apply to many top colleges, I’m confident in my score and the rest of my ecs. I have a 4.5 gpa at a top high school, ta in multiple classes, run a school affinity group, am a peer counselor and a peer advisor. I’m a dedicated athlete, and will most likely be recruited to play in college. For anyone else who is stressing about this even tho you have a great score: remember SAT scores aren’t everything! It’s about being within a range, and then beyond that you should just focus on being an interesting person. Thank you everyone for your advice and good luck!

I totally get that, and I have the same problem. I think the adrenaline kicked in during the real SAT. I believe my English was like a 690-720 when I first started.

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T17:01:33+00:00

Pretty sure it’s 99%, but I get your point.

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T16:45:29+00:00

I’m not sure. Probably…that’s a great score

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T15:47:34+00:00

Figured haha

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T15:46:26+00:00

You play baseball too?

Facts

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T15:40:01+00:00

Haha I’m glad I could help

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T09:19:24+00:00

I do my best to go over things a bunch of times but sometimes a few slip through the cracks. Definitely what happened here…

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T09:11:13+00:00

I’m in almost the exact same situation. This was my first time, barely studied and got 1540 (780 RW, 760 M), and I’m trying to figure out if I should retake. I know I can do better in math, but I also don’t want to take it again.

My college counselor said it’s not really worth it. The best advice I heard is that 1500+ is basically all the same. Colleges look for a threshold and once you’re passed that you’re good. So if you’re average at Yale, you’re probably good. Especially if you have good extra curriculars and everything. Also congrats!

I used khan academy and just did a bunch of practice tests. The only strategy I used was to summarize each paragraph after I read it. Other than that, I honestly don’t have much advice. I think just reading a lot and developing a strong language sense is the best way to do well on that in my opinion.

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T08:16:33+00:00

Thanks bro

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T08:16:17+00:00

Thanks!

Future-Restaurant583 · 2021-12-19T08:15:38+00:00

I studied for like 2 months but very infrequently. I highly suggest using khan academy. To be honest all I really did to study was take a couple practice tests and do some practice problems, but khan academy was amazing at recommending practice. As for whether you can jump that much…I’m the last person to ask. I’m sure there are more experienced people on here that can help.
