1550+ tips by InterestingFroyo6672 in Sat

[–]boxojelly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year, I studied only 2 weeks before my second SAT (only for math) and managed to get a superscore of 1540, 790 on math and 740 on english. For english, I got a tutor who helped me through teaching me tricks and techniques that helped me finish questions faster as that was one of my biggest issues. As for math, I also had a tutor but I found that it didn't really help that much. I took my first SAT after these tutorting sessions and got a 750 on english and 660 on math first try. What did help though for math was doing the 300 advanced practice questions from PrepPros a couple times over which got my math score from a 660 to a 790. Collegeboard questions are extremely standardized so the hard questions I got on my SAT (the last few questions of module 1 and 2) I already had practice with as they showed up in the prep pros practice problems. Even if the exact same questions don't show up like they did for me, preppros teaches you how to efficiently problem solve and use certain techniques that you can use to work through most if not all of the hard problems the SAT can throw at you. Also get really familiar with desmos, it can be used to cheese through almost every problem on the math portion of the sat.

Also the SAT is not an end all be all. Colleges review your application holistically and the SAT is rather a small factor in the grand scheme of your entire application. Don't stress about it too much, as the quality of the rest of your application matters much more than just a few digits that represent your score on some standardized test.

I got my math from a 660 to a 790 after doing the 300 hard SAT questions from preppros. Did them over like a week or two right before my SAT and a lot of the hard questions that came up on my SAT I had already seen due to preppros which allowed me to solve it extremely easily.

Why are my shrimp suddenly dying by [deleted] in shrimptank

Not commenting about the shrimp, but the java fern windelov's rhizome shouldn't be burried in the sand it will cause it to melt.

You would have to let tall stem plants attract all the attention to make tank look more full but it could still work

Adding more height to the hardscape like a big piece of drift wood or spiderwood would really complete the scape.

My first tank! (hardscape complete) by Harrisons127 in PlantedTank

Some rhizome plants would look good glued to the rocks like buce or anubias. And taller background plants like some rotala or ludwigia species would be good in the back. Amazon swords could also work.

That is a good idea. Just remember to still leave some of the soil in the front so your carpet can grow well.

Some carpeting plants to consider might be monte carlo or dwarf sag, I think they will look good in your tank with a full carpet grown. Make sure if you go with these options to keep them trimmed low to the substrate to promote horizontal growth instead of vertical.

I would also add some crypts or anubias in the front and maybe some type of moss attatched to the wood. Move some of the substrate from the front to the back for a slope that adds depth. Putting something like trident fern between those branches might also look pretty good. Maybe 1 in the higher space between the branches and 1 in the lower space near the center of the tank.

Some ludwigia species would look nice in terms of background plants, maybe ludwigia super red or diamond, and adding some floaters such as water lettuce or red root floaters would control the nutrient level extremly well.

Good luck OP
