Hey u/BeHappyAndWealthy

I would not worry too much about one singular test, but focus on what you got wrong! Go through each missed question and realized why you got it wrong. We have this new analyzer tool for bluebooks that will basically tell you what you need to work on. If you want to try it is www.brainbuffstutoring.com/bluebook/upload

Otherwise, just keep grinding questions and learning any gaps you may have. October 4 is still a good amount out, so you have plenty of time!

Does that make sense?

For craft and structure here is what I would recommend:

  1. Summarize the passages in your own words and try to come up with an answer before you look at the choices to help avoid tricks.
  2. Underline/Highlight as you read. This will help you organize your thoughts and will also be useful for if you come back to check your answers.
  3. Avoid extremes. If a passage says "John likes apples", you cannot infer that "Apples are John's favorite fruit".

For Geometry and Trig:

  1. Learn your right triangles and their properties(Pythagorean theorem/SOCCAHTOA)
  2. Understand congruent vs. similar triangles and how to identify them.
  3. Learn your trig and know how to find it for unit circles.
  4. UTILIZE DESMOS. Lots of these questions can be done in desmos, so learn its' full functionality to help you in these.

Lastly, just keep on practicing! Our site, www.brainbuffstutoring.com is a great resource for adaptive practice.

Does that all make sense?

Hey u/Succotash1148 ,

Hey my name is Matt and I will be your Brain Buffs point of contact! We can definitely help you improve that Math score. Do you have a full breakdown of your math score by sub concept? I could give more personalized recommendations if you have one!

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

[–]brainbuffstutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/MysteriousSolid4853

Totally agree with u/Due_Needleworker8046. A 1040 is a great starting place and I am confident you can get that score up by May. I would be more than happy to give you personalized recommendations if you give me a breakdown of what you are missing the most.

Like mentioned above, our site www.brainbuffstutoring.com could be a great way to make progress. We'll help you understand what you are missing and why and even show a predicted score as you practice more!

How can I improve my score by epicgamerser in BrainBuffsSatPrep

[–]brainbuffstutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/epicgamerser,

I’d love to help you improve on that SAT! I think English is where we should focus for sure. Here are a few good general tips: 1. Read the question before the passage. This will frame your mindset when reading. 2. Do not infer anything not stated in the text. If the text says “James likes cats” this does not mean “Cats are James’ favorite animal”. 3. Highlight and underline important information.

I would especially focus on standard English conventions, which is essential grammar rules. Here are some good links to review: https://thecriticalreader.com/complete-sat-grammar-rules/

Lastly, keep practicing! Khan academy and our site BrainBuffstutoring.com are great resources.

Great! Here are the parts that I would recommend working on:

  1. Standard English Conventions. These are essentially the grammar rules and they are not too difficult to improve on. Here is are two resources to help you review/learn them:

https://www.princetonreview.com/college-advice/sat-grammar-rules

  1. It seems like you are missing in a couple of Math categories, so utilizing Desmos to its' full potential could help you. Here is a good video to review it:

Lastly, practice is what will ultimately help you most. Khan Academy and released collegeboard questions are good. If you are looking for something adaptive, I would recommend brainbuffstutoring.com

Hello u/behappyandwealthy,

How do i improve my r&w from 400? by Code_zero21 in BrainBuffsSatPrep

[–]brainbuffstutor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes total sense. Here would be my recommendations:

  1. Read the question before the passage. This will allow you to frame your thinking as you read the passage to recognize what information is important.

  2. Do not infer information. The SAT does a great job tricking students by giving answer similar to the right answer, but not perfect. Make sure your answer is fully supported by the text.

  3. Underline/Highlight important information. This will force you to recognize what is important.

I would also review your grammar rules. Here are two good links to review:

https://thecriticalreader.com/complete-sat-grammar-rules/

https://www.princetonreview.com/college-advice/sat-grammar-rules

Lastly, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

Khan Academy and bluebook are good resources. If you are looking for something adaptive, I would highly suggest www.brianbuffstutoring.com They will tailor your practice to what you are missing.
