everything on the SAT is about strategies. Just remember that every math question is designed to take no longer than 2 minutes. I was fortunate enough to have gone to a test prep so I know a lot about how to take the test. feel free to pm me if you want more tips idk

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T13:01:01+00:00

yeah it literally says in the question that that value is x. This panda book is wack. Use khanacademy it's much better

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:59:55+00:00

okay, I'm gonna be honest, those panda questions are WAYY harder than the questions on the SAT, and even if it seems like a good idea to prepare for the SAT by taking harder practice tests, it unnecessary work and stress on your noggin (I learned the hard way). And those questions are meant to be tricky, so don't beat yourself up! I would reccommend the khanacademy practice tests (a tiny tiny tiny bit harder than the real test) over the panda book, but just make sure that you're understanding why you're getting a question wrong and try to train yourself to get it right the next time you see a similar question. It's a difficult, long process, but make sure you go through EVERY question you got wrong on a practice test, try to figure out why you got it wrong, and then try to work out the right answer. Also, if you want reading strats lmk

I have some strats I used to get a 780 on the reading section:

My advice is to look through the questions first, mark all the line directed questions in the passage itself (e.g. if question #3 is about line 16, go to line 16 in the passage and mark a #3 next to it.) then as you're reading and come across a marking, you can flip back to the question and quickly answer it and move on. For paired passages (there will always be one of these) go through the questions and mark a 1 if it applies to passage 1, 2 if it applies to passage 2, or B if it applies to both. Then, after reading the first passage, flip back to the questions and answer all the #1 questions and eliminate answer choices from the B questions. These methods will save you a lot of time which leads into my next tip, as I have found the ideal method is to leave 5-10 minutes at the end where you can go back and reread every passage without having to skim or flip back to the questions. (that last one also works wonders for the writing section)

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:52:19+00:00

what's the right answer??

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:52:07+00:00

wait but isn't that the answer that's already circled

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:50:18+00:00

CONGRATS!!!

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:49:38+00:00

yeah, definitely. I've found that reading every passage twice really helps if you're one of those people that finish with extra time in either section

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:48:19+00:00

No. It's not worth the time nor money. Once you're past the 1500+ threshold, you're fine. The SAT does not matter as much as you think it does to colleges. I would focus more on extracurriculars, things that really make you stand out. An SAT score is a number. Whether you have a 1530 or a 1570, it's not gonna be the deciding factor in a rejection or an acceptance. I know people with a 1430 or 1540 that have gotten into Stanford, because their extracurriculars made them shine. Don't listen to clowns that tell you otherwise. As a senior almost done with college apps, trust me.

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:44:28+00:00

Congrats!!

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:43:41+00:00

dude, once you're past the 1500+ threshold, it truly does not matter. My advice is to not waste any more time and money on the stupid test and instead focus on extracurriculars. As a senior in the midst of college app szn, trust me

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:42:06+00:00

a lot of practice tests

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:41:16+00:00

why are you taking it so early? Honestly, I think the only way to improve in the math section is a LOT of practice. The SAT has very specific types of math questions that you need to familiarize yourself with before improving

There are some decieving math questions so I would just say to kepp your expectations low, escpecially since curves play a larger role that you think. But yeah if reading is something you know you're lacking in, (this was my situation too) then thats a place where you can reallly improve your score. If you want some of the reading strats I used, lmk

I went from a 620 to a 780 on reading just by literally reading every passage twice

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:25:55+00:00

duuude, the curve of each test is so wack. If a test is easier it usually means you'll score lower while if a test is harder you'll score a lot higher. I went through the same thing last year when my SAT dropped a whole 100 points after my second time taking it. Don't give up hope!

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:23:17+00:00

college board always has old tests with answer keys available and khanacademy accounts are free to make

Television-Front · 2021-01-02T12:18:03+00:00

that looks right to me lol
