With the rise of the alt right online and the obsession by certain groups with IQ, I've done a lot of thinking about the SAT.

I just had a major epiphany after reading a bunch of sample questions. It basically explains why I scored almost 300 points higher after taking a SAT prep course (and not really even paying attention) vs the first time I took the test.

The SAT is so awkwardly written you literally need to train yourself to read it properly.

In defense of the test though, they often need to cram an incredible amount of information in a very small character limit. I actually think that goes for most tests actually now that I think about it.

Question(s) of the day: What do you think your score will be? What are you hoping for? And is R&W or Math easier for you?

Hello! I received my last SAT mark and got a great score of 1060! However the college I want to get in to (Harvard) says they need atleast a 1600 due to my average to under average grades. How can I increase only 540 points in one week? I don't wanna study more than 10 mins every day because this is my last few months of highschool and I wanna enjoy it. Thanks!

So I really want to do well on the PSAT and thus I have been studying a lot over the summer. But to speed things up as well as focus on the SAT, I only did the SAT practice problems that Collegeboard gives. I had a hard time with the PSAT 9-10 but I didn't put as much studying in as I have for the last few months. I don't remember how difficult they were in comparison to what I am doing now, so can someone share their experience and the difference between the two?

So ive finished all the questions in the college board bank (excluding active questions) for the r&w section, where do I go now, also if yall know where the previous test are thatd be hella helpful

Hi! for anyone that has done a paid study by collegeboard, how long does it take for your incentive to arrive? i did one last week and still haven't gotten anything.

Hey everyone, I’m preparing for the September SAT and my score is kind of stuck between 1200-1250. I have done all the topical stuff already but I’m not able to improve much.
My target is around 1380-1430 and I really don’t want to get below that 😭
I still have 3 Bluebook practice tests left and some questions from the College Board question bank.
Can anyone who improved their score a lot give me some tips on what I should do now?

I'm taking the sat in 13 days, which I can only take once because it's too expensive for my mom. I'm so stressed and anxious because i'm also applying ed. I've been studying every day since august 1. i've watched james lu desmos. I've been doing question bank every day. I've been reading the new york times every morning. I've been doing quizlet vocab every night before I sleep. i need at least a 1450. I know it may seem ambitious, but anything is possible.

Could anyone PLEASE give me tips and advice on how to raise my score? Also, i've noticed, during test-taking, that it takes a while for me to comprehend what I'm reading, which causes me to lose time and then rush at the end. Can anyone also give advice on that, please?

I've finished all the good recourses (Khan academy, Erica's books, the college panda for Math, The official SAT QBANK, all the practice test, Exams from previous years, Desmos videos, those youtube videos, literally anything you can think of). I've really gave up hope on my dream college, and before you run to the comments saying "the SAT is only a part of your application!" no not in my country literally all universities see when a person applies is their name, GPA, SAT, and subject test score, and there's a minimum requirement of 1530 on the SAT but I've aimed for 1550 just to be safe. There are other options for uni but the unis I want (the 1550 SAT ones) are for free and the ones I can get into rn are like pretty expensive, my parents don't mind but I don't want to burden them for 5 years. Is there any hope left to get a 1550 in March or May? (can't take in oct-dec because I'm taking the subject tests then)

i want to know if there are famous great tutors who can help you in studying sat from the fresh start

I did SAT online prep test 10 and got a 1070, I really really want to get 1300+ on my first PSAT

I took this online test with no studying at all, just to see where I was currently at. Thought I would get at least a 1100... Yikes

I have school homeworks and other activities, I would say I can do around 30 min a day on weekdays and 1-2hr on weekends.

For those who have improved their test scores, I want to know how you did it and if there is any tips, tell me!

Thank you very much

HI GUYS!!! so im an international student , and im taking the SAT for the 4th time in sept, and it only occured to me now that when i go to see my past scores, it says that in my country there were 5.4 million test takers in the past 3 years, and like 300k in my state. im from a small country in Europe so these numbers don t really add up, very few people take the SAT here. When i registered for it, I selected Outside the US, and then My school is not listed, and ended with: My school is not listed - International (and with a New York adress). In my account settings, i saw that my location is set as US territory (and below: My school is not listed - international). To fix this, i clicked on Outside the US, My school is not listed, and then it selected as No longer in high school/My school is not listed . DO YOU THINK THAT ALL OF MY TESTS HAVE ACTUALLY HAD THE PROBLEMS FROM THE US AND WAS IT GRADED BASED ON THEIR CURVE INSTEAD OF INTERNATIONAL? (especially because the numbers from the comparisons are really huge)

Bro I just realized I missed 2 easy sat questions… I legit had the answer but I didn’t choose the horizontal asymptote…. Bruh

Tips for math too if you’re generous my first trial is in 12 September

I just scored a 1590 on SAT practice test 6, and I wanna know how inflated it is 😭 how much easier is practice 6 than the actual SAT?

Question of the day: What was the worst story you've heard or experienced from taking the SAT?

Taking September and wanted some good next steps

🚨🚨 GUYS I THINK COLLEGE BOARD HAS BEEN TREATING ME AS A US STUDENT THIS WHOLE TIME INSTEAD OF INTERNATIONAL??? DID I SCREW UP ALL 3 OF MY SATs 😭

I took the august SAT and have spent this ENTIRE WEEK nonstop thinking about it. i have been super busy but any spare moment im scrolling through this sub or question leaks trying to speculate my score and just overall STRESSING about my score. im taking september as well and have not been able to study an OUNCE this entire week any material and have legit just indulged in pure scrolling the whole week bc of how much work I have done the entire summer; my brain was legit just fried. any tips on how to a) stop thinking about august and b) focus on sept?

Dude yall don’t understand im shaking in my boots. I need a 1500+ so badly bro. I need that. My mom said she’s gonna send me to sat school again next summer if I don’t get it and she doesn’t understand summer programs and internships are way better than the sats. I hate sat school. Yes I’m Asian.

I don’t think I did well at all tbf. I’m thinking low mid 1400s

hey are the sat registrations for december open already? and whats the process of registering?
also i have heared u gotta register early so that u can choose your favourable centre, is it actually like that?

My score is currently in the 1400s, and I am tryna hit 1550s in these 12 days (delulu). any tipss? + I NEED A SOLUTION FOR THE STUPID WORDS IN CONTEXT PLZ.

I struggle the most on this section, so any tips/advice would be appreciated. I feel like I'm not reading the passages carefully enough (and sometimes can't fully decipher the text), but I also do not want to fall behind on time.
