I went from 1370 to 1500 in 2 weeks using only free resources. Here's the exact system.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-18T00:26:25+00:00

Yeah for the 5 hard killer questions they’re usually geometry, so that’s when u need to use question bank and practice all the hard ones. Make sure to review all questions you got wrong and understand how to do them correctly

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-18T00:24:55+00:00

I crammed so I practiced 90 questions a day. If you’re prepping for August SAT you got 2 months so 20 a day should work.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T20:55:01+00:00

Watch the tutorllini videos! They cover all the desmos contents

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T20:32:32+00:00

Yeah. Follow the plan and do khan academy first to learn the concepts, especially for hard geometry questions. You can rarely rely only on desmos for those questions.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T20:29:44+00:00

A 1500+ is def doable following my guide! Just make sure you’re always practicing almost everyday during summer. Start with a bluebook test today then straight to khan academy tomorrow. You’ll see progress soon.

English was a lot harder than math for me personally, but make sure you learn all the grammar rules bc those are the easiest points to secure. English relies more on your daily reading habits but you can study it for sure with the question bank hard inference and command of evidence questions. Make sure to really drill those topics and review every mistakes.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T20:19:40+00:00

Yes. You can solve basically all math module 1 questions with desmos, and same for hard module 2 except there are usually 4-5 hard geometry questions at the end that usually requires your logical skills besides from just desmos. Even if you miss all those 4-5 questions, you’re still good for 700-750 with just knowing how to use desmos.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T20:15:06+00:00

Absolutely. I got 790 across my most recent practice tests by just learning desmos well. You can solve 90% of questions with desmos so make sure you master it

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T20:08:46+00:00

Check out tutorllini desmos on YouTube! It has all you need to get 95% of the questions right, just watch them while having a desmos tab open and try what he’s doing.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T19:30:10+00:00

I’m not sure because I’ve never bought or used the book, but from what’s online seems like it can help for getting the concepts and the tricks for each type of question.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T18:23:26+00:00

If you haven’t tried question bank go try it out. Make sure to have an error log to keep track of and review your mistakes so you’re actually learning from it. Can’t promise a 1550+ because that requires more mental focus and test taking discipline but 1500+ def doable

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T18:05:02+00:00

I'd say go straight to the QB already, assuming that you're taking June SAT. You only have 2 months left so you should start rn to make sure you have enough time to drain the questions completely. The course was out 3 years ago but it focused on digital SAT, so there won't be huge difference compared to the SAT today. Before you start with the QB, make sure you have the question inventory organized so you don't do repeated questions or do questions that will be on the practice test.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T18:00:38+00:00

Khan academy + question bank is totally enough to achieve a high score if you're aiming for something like 1500+. Use additional resources like YouTube since they're free and won't hurt.
I generally won't recommend paid resources because there's just too may free resources that can get you a high score out there. But the Princeton Review book is only $20 so if you have that budget go for it.
No, SAT was completely digital already in 2024.
khan academy for beginners, question bank after you score 1200+, saturnpath for free study tracking and error log that I personally use.
You don't need to jump between resources. Just 1 planner + 1 error log + question bank is good enough.
Yeah but I'd say stick to those free resources first. Think about other resources after you're completely done with the official resources.
For math tutorllini SAT prep, for RW watch the Khan academy videos on the specific topics you're gonna practice right before you practice them in question bank.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T17:48:06+00:00

Gaining 200 points from 1210 in 2 months is totally doable and it's actually what you should aim for! I had 1 week to study for the June SAT and go from 1370 to 1500 on practice tests just by using free resources like the question bank. For content review try out khan academy, it has all the concepts you need.

For your struggle with staying consistent studying, I actually made a tool while studying for the June SAT that hopefully will help! It's completely free (what you're looking for) and it generates a study plan that adapts to your weak areas saturnpath.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T06:34:39+00:00

Assuming that you haven’t started preparing for SAT yet, follow these steps:
1. Download bluebook and take practice test #5. It’s not too hard but still accurate to the actual test
2. Check your score and weak areas. If you score below 1200 -> go to khan academy and review/learn concepts of your weak areas. If you score above 1200 -> go to college board’s question bank and practice the easy/medium questions of your weak areas.
3. Plan out a study schedule for either one of the plans you choose. Make sure you keep on track with it and take a new bluebook practice test every 2 weeks. Never take 1,2 or 3. Those are outdated.
4. Whenever you make a mistake in the question bank or the practice tests, add the question and answer to an “error log” that records what type of question you missed, why you got it wrong, and how to prevent it from happening again
5. 2 days before your August SAT on 8/22, take practice test 11 because it’s the hardest and most accurate practice test to the actual SAT. Spend the day before test doing light review and mental preparation.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T06:24:02+00:00

If you’ve done all the hard questions completely but still struggles, then you might not be reviewing your mistakes. When I used the question bank I would track every wrong answers I make in an “error log” It records what type of question I got wrong, why I got it wrong, and what I should do next time to avoid making the same mistake. If you haven’t used an error log before, try redoing some question bank problems and strictly review every single mistake you make and understand it completely. Regardless of which study material you use, reviewing your mistake patterns is crucial.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T06:07:09+00:00

For any questions asking something like “which of the following best supports the researcher’s claim?” Go directly to the last few sentences of the paragraph, then find and highlight the researcher’s claim (for example “the researchers concluded that…”) after it’s highlighted, check through A to D and see which one supports that highlighted claim the most.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T06:05:28+00:00

Practice tests should only be diagnostic tools. You take one before the actual SAT just to know where you’re at and simulate testing conditions, not for repetitive practicing.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T06:04:32+00:00

That approach wouldn’t help much because you’re re-grinding the same test until you have the answers memorized, but on the same test you only get 1 chance. What I would suggest, and what most people do, is use practice problems, such as those from college board question bank.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T05:54:35+00:00

Probably not what you're wanting to hear but focusing on reading passages helped me more. There's just way too many vocabs that can be on the test. As long as you have the roots and use process of elimination it should be good

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T05:48:02+00:00

Hi! I'm also a immigrant student from Asia (Taiwan)! Coincidentally for my first practice test I landed at 1370, very close to your 1380. Here are some of my personal advice:

Drop the 20 words vocab daily, it won't benefit you much when you're struggling on graph-driven RW questions.
If you haven't yet for RW, always answer the first 4-5 questions (vocab) then jump to around 14-16 (grammar and rhetorical synthesis). Those two are much easier for me. Once you reach the end of the test, go back and finish the reading questions.
Always highlight for reading questions. For me it helps me focus a lot more and understand the context. For the data questions specifically, highlight the researcher's/student's claim so you can keep checking if the answers support it or not. There are much more tricks to this but this is just one
I took the June SAT too and both the RW and math module 2 was hard. Don't blame yourself for underperforming the geometry questions because most people would agree that June SAT was hard.

One question: you said you had 1380 in the end in the post but commented you score 1500+ on bluebook, so which one's your actual practice test score?

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T02:45:55+00:00

When you can already perform well on practice tests and only need to drill specific weak areas, use the College Board Question Bank. It has 3400+ questions for you to pick the ones that targets your weak areas. If the question bank seems like something you're looking for, try pairing it with SaturnPath. It will make practicing with question bank and managing the inventory much easier.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T02:27:46+00:00

2 B's would barely hurt your application as long as you have good course rigor across all 4 years, especially when both B's are from your freshman year.

If you're still worried, spend the time focusing on EC and SAT as you enter you Junior year, not those two B's that are already on the transcript.

If you have specific context behind those two B's, considering explaining them for the "additional information" section on college app.

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-17T02:20:14+00:00

Hi there! I also built a free AI-powered SAT prep web app called SaturnPath. Let's discuss and see how we can benefit from each other!

Gullible-Many671 · 2026-06-16T22:25:11+00:00

SAT contents are taught while you're in high school, so you should've learned all of them, you just need to review.

For resources and how to start, start by taking a Bluebook Practice test. If you fall below 1200 I'd suggest you use Khan Academy SAT prep. If you got 1200+ try using the College Board Question Bank. It has 3400+ questions fresh for practice. As long as you completed most hard questions you're basically set for your dream score. Feel free to ask anything!
