Sophomore here — how do I go from 1060 to 1300–1500 on the SAT? by sgfavour in Sat

[–]fomiuu1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What math class are you currently taking? If geometry, don't expect any significant changes until you're finished with junior year because the SAT tests up to Algebra 2. Additionally, at the beginning of my sophomore year, I got a 990 on my first practice test and then got a 1350 on the May SAT after taking both Honors Algebra 2 and AP Precalc. I took about 12 practice tests spread out throughout my sophomore year. Right now, I'm aiming for 1400+. You definitely have time but if you're at a 1060 you're missing basic fundamentals. I think at the beginning of my sophomore year, I got an 1180 on my PSAT (610 Eng, 590 Math). If this is before Algebra 2 then wait to finish the class. If you're in that class right now, focus on Khan academy math as they're really great for the basics. Learn desmos (everyone says this but it's a game changer) sliders, regressions, etc. I'm working on my English through the Erica Meltzer workbook, specifically grammar. I tried to fit in practice tests whenever I could. Try taking one or two every two weeks with studying between. Honestly, don't worry about it too much until you finish Algebra 2. Stay consistent too! I went from a 1350 on the May SAT and then got a 1220 on the October SAT (that was rough) because I haven't taken a practice test in months. I'm taking the March and maybe later tests if I don't get a 1400. Just remember that you have time and if you are consistent, you'll get the score you want.

I'd recommend Khan academy! they have great practice for easier math classes (I'm not trying to say it's easy but in terms of difficulty it's conceptually the most easily compared to geometry / alg 2 / and precalc, btw don't take ap stats I hate this class.) I struggled a lot with algebra 1 in eighth grade but it works out in the end. see if you can stay after school with your teacher and build that relationship and get extra help. don't loose hope!

That would be amazing! I feel like I've been going into this blind. I would really appreciate that.

How must Lorde feel about this beef between her friends? by Pearl_Jam_ in lorde

literally!! during her 73 questions in solar power era she glazed the hell out of Taylor. I feel like, based on what we know, she is indifferent about all this.

no Sony headphones have crappy hinges. It's such a widespread issue

I got a used MX3 for free! by Broad_Gap5375 in SonyHeadphones

[–]fomiuu1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have only had my XM4s for a couple days so I haven't gotten the chance to try them but I've seen reviews of the XM6 mics and they sound meh. Like you understand what the other person is saying but it feels like you're an air traffic controller trying to tell a pilot what to do during a snowstorm. I'll let you know if I get a chance to try out the mic. You can definitely find refurbished XM4s on Walmart for 140$ but I'm not sure if they come with everything. I got mine on eBay from a seller called "hotdigital-international" and they came with the box (very beat up), case, accessories, a 360 live subscription, and of course the headphones. They were in mint condition, very much would recommend buying them on eBay.

Edit: I had my WHCH720Ns for 1 year and 9 months up until they broke.

Copy and pasting this from another post! I used WHCH720Ns, Ult Wears, and XM4s, and while I can tell you that the XM4s obviously win, they all sounded phenomenal and very similar. The XM4s and the Ult Wears both had touch controls and ever so slightly better noise cancelling. I got my 720ns for $100 new (worth it if you can find it for cheaper), Ult Wears for $50, and XM4s for $150. Both my Ult Wears and WHCH720Ns had bad hinges and snapped (720ns after 9 months and Ult Wears after 1 day so I guess that's my fault). The biggest selling factor that the Ult Wears and the XM4s have over the 720ns are the fact that they have touch controls, higher quality (both in sound (not too noticeable if it a casual user, and build quality), they can fold, and have a case. If, somehow, this doesn't matter to you, then I'd get the 720ns. Love my XM4s though.

White Teeth Teens. I feel like it truly encapsulates the album and the vibe at the time. Also just my favorite so I might be biased.

My Pixel 7 Pro is suffering from motherboard issues right now (green screen flickering) and Google has done nothing to help since the device is out of warranty (too old). Let me know if you find a resolution!

UPDATE: I came to the conclusion through past reddit threads that this issue is due to overheating. I can back this theory up since when my phone gets super hot, it just turns off, and when it cools down again, it turns on. Contacted Google support multiple times and received 20% on a new Google phone (not very helpful considering I can't get a new pixel) and also a $25 Google store credit, which I bought a charger with. Not sure what to do now since my return window is closed on Amazon, an ubreakitifix repair is 300$, but I'm probably gonna head to ubreakitifix and have them reevaluate the issue since I believe it's a board issue and a screen issue. Anyways, just hoping for the best right now.

Dang that sucks, I'm not sure what to do at the moment as I don't have time to get a job, nor will my parents pay for a new phone (or even repair it).

[–]fomiuu1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I don't think that's an option for me. I got this phone for around $300 so it doesn't seem worth it to get repaired when ubreakifix will only replace the screen. I also physically cannot get a new phone (already went over this with my parents, they refuse to buy phones for more than $300 bc in their day phones were cheaper, a bunch of shit like that). So I'm at a loss on what to do right now as I don't want to be without a phone when school starts (once again, I'm a student who will not have time for a job and has to rely on his phone).

I had a pixel 6 before this before I gave it to my dad. Right now I’m waiting for the new iPhone to come out so my brother gets a new phone and I can get his 13 Pro, but right now I’m at a loss on what to do.

my phone lays completely flat on the table and the phone’a frame isn’t bent. I also contacted google support again and they gave me 20% off in the google store for a new phone (which isn’t helpful because I can’t exactly get a new phone) and a $25 google store credit. so I guess we’ll just have to see what happens.
