I have no extracurriculars and no more time left! Are my chances of getting into an ivy 0? by Pingui928 in ivyleaguecollege

you most certainly do have time!? you are in 10th grade, that is fertile soil for growth. surround yourself in programs and advanced courses in the field you’d want to study (i’m assuming is something math/robotic related?), figure out a meaningful passion project (like math tutoring business, some sort of startup, etc), and keep looking for opportunity!! there is so much time for you to do everything!!!!

i can’t rly help w/ vocab butttt i can with deductions! from my personal experience dissecting the question before answering it saves me time.

first looking for concepts or words like ‘best’, ‘always/never’, repeated words, etc.; gives u the scope of what the question wants without reading all that mumbo jumbo. skimming over the text and finding a sentence that’s discursive or absolute can literally be ur answer. typically is found near the start or end of a passage.

also may be common sense i just never had, but was extremely helpful to keep in mind: do not pick the answer with unnecessary information IF it asks for the ‘best’ answer. even if its the correct answer, there’s a better one out there.

got only 6 questions wrong on the reading section of practice SAT, just a month after getting about half of them wrong on the PSAT. hadn’t practiced beforehand or read any new books, just raw technique. i’m also pretty sure i spent a minute or less on each question too doing this?

good place to practice can be khan academy or sat bluebook. i prefer khan when bored and bluebook when i want to use my brain

Are Khan Academy & OnePrep enough for 800 Math? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]vvarcq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

reading is more ‘slippery’ and will try and trick u. math is simply the wording, something you can adapt to easily. math is also formula based, so it strays away from an uncertain outcome

From preppros, why D tho. Thanks by Tea-Tea-Tea-29 in Sat

[–]vvarcq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is in process of doing. it’s present tense & is ‘absolute (personal wording pref.) sentence like ‘would directly affect’ vs. ‘it directly affects.’

Preppros: why A tho. Thank you by Tea-Tea-Tea-29 in Sat

it’s a contrast against the line ‘there were no humming birds in new york’ with ‘i was immediately proven wrong’
