did this as kind of a benchmark test, planning on using khan academy’s free sat courses as study material over a 3 month period and retake in august. what are the odds i can get a 1400 by August provided i study 4-6 hours a day and take a practice test weekly? i’d definitely want to focus more on math than RW, but i’m still curious on good resources for improving on the grammar part of RW

Accommodations denied

14 Upvotes

So I’ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD and my whole life I’ve struggled with taking long tests. My school’s guidance counselor advised me to let her request for me an accommodation, but that was forever ago. Yesterday I got the letter that my request was denied and I don’t know what to do. I suspect it’s because I only just started getting accommodations in my school and my diagnosis was a year ago, but regardless, I’m struggling so bad in trying to take this test with regular time. My scores are terrible (for the schools I aim to apply to) and even though I’ve been studying for months, I’ve seen no improvement. I thought accommodations were going to save my score but I got my hopes up. Can anyone who went through the same situation give me some advice on how manage this situation or how I can improve my test taking speed? :(

I need an explanation?

Guys my December SAT math analysis shows one empty bar(in algebra). I retake the test on March and my analysis shows all the bars full yet the same score 730. How's this possible?

I want to retake the test on June but I'm uncertain if I'll score 790 or 800. I am very strong in math. No weakness at all. I constantly score 790&800 throughout the bluebook tests, but I still get low score in the real exam and the funny thing is some of those tests are harder than the real exam. Any help please? How can make those scores reflect on the real exam?

Here’s my track for math as of now (depending on if I get into a magnet school this could change.) 9th: Algebra 2 honors 10th AP precalc 11th Ap Algebra AB 12th AP Stat or Calculus CD Thanks in advance and if you have any advice on how to get better, it would be much appreciated!

Would colleges interpret high English score as a good thing?

5 Upvotes

Planning on applying as a humanities major (Probably history). I scored a 1320 on the March 2025 SAT, 750 English and 570 Math. Math isn’t my strongsuit, as you can tell.

Would I still be able to benefit from this mediocre score in applications because my English score demonstrated proficiency?

Edit: I am retaking, just wanted to know.

how to deal with math inconsistancy

3 Upvotes

Ive been studying for ~30hrs-40hrs for the math portion of the sat and have taken 4 practice tests between starting studying and now. All of these practice tests have seen me score ~650 in math. the only thing is that ive scored 100% on each category (algebra, problem solving, etc) in each test. The only issue is that I cant do it all on one test. Any advice on getting more consistant?

I’m planning on retaking it obviously so I want to try to get at least a 1400, does anyone have any tips/resources to raise my score (math especially..)?😊

I lose focus during the test, what do I do?

3 Upvotes

I have taken a couple practice tests and taken the real test once and I always notice that although I try my best to lock in, once I get to module 2 RW, I lose my focus. I’ve always had trouble focusing in general and my mind tends to bounce around a lot, but it gets especially bad during the Reading section. I love math so it’s a bit easier for me to focus but even then, it’s not great. I think this is why I consistently score lower on the reading section and it’s what’s holding my score back. For reference I average about 760-790 math but only 600-650 Reading.

Does anyone have any tips for me on how to focus more during testing? Especially if you have trouble focusing in the first place?

Is my khan academy glitched or what?

3 Upvotes

I noticed for all the difficulties (foundations, medium, advanced) the videos and comments are the same.

Does that mean the only difference between them are the practice quizzes?

Guys I got 1430 on the March SAT with 700 reading and writing, 730 math. Some ppl around me are saying it's a shitty score and I wouldn't get accepted to schools but I think it's a really good score. I thought it was enough but is it not? Should I retake?

How do you improve vocabulary for SAT R&W within 2 months?

2 Upvotes

Hi may I know if there is any Apps that will help me remember vocabulary on a daily basis? I guess what I want to say is that I am not very organized, my mom wants me to memorize words to improve my SAT R&W everyday to potentially improve my score for the R&W section. But I really don't think I can just get a bunch of words from a piece of people and try to memorize it that way.

I wonder what methods you used to improve your vocabulary? BTW, I plan to take my third SAT test in June this year and I am a raising senior. Thx!

Can you guys give me some advice on this idea?

2 Upvotes

I posted this yesterday but some mod took it down for some undisclosed reason. I'm putting it back up since I was hoping for a bit more feedback.

I get how the mods could think this is some form of advertisement, but I swear it's not 😭 (It's not even existent yet). I'm getting into app development and I thought of an idea that could help people trying to study for the SAT. Let me know if you guys would actually use this app if I released it. I'm planning on making it mostly free, but for more complex features it will be behind a small subscription fee.

Here's the general gist of it: I'm trying to make an app that acts in a similar way as chess.com's puzzle system (depending on the difficulty of the puzzle, and whether you get it right or wrong, your ELO [but in my case, SAT score] goes up or down). Obviously, it's an app that helps students prepare for their SAT by asking a question one at a time. They'll have completion goals every day (eg. Complete 5 Questions Each Day), and it will adapt as to where they need to improve. If they get a question right, then perfect, but if they get it wrong, then it will be explained by AI. If for some reason, the AI explanation does not help them, it will resort to a different explanation that it thinks will further suit their needs.
