Y’all were all WRONG

So a while ago I asked what the most hardest and most accurate practice test was and a bunch of people said bluebook. I tried to say that bluebook was way easier than the actual SAT and was definitely not accurate to the real thing and a bunch of people downvoted me. Now I’m here to tell y’all bluebook is a good tool to get familiar with the general format and feel of the sat, but horrible in terms of how accurate it is to the sat in terms of difficulty.

I was going to make a oneprep account but I'm not sure the free plan is enough. Satquestionbank.org was another one I was considering but people said it was outdated or something like that. Can anyone help?

Studying English

• Upvotes

For those who are from English-speaking countries: how do you study English for the SAT? Throughout my education in Canada, I have never really learnt the reason 'why' a sentence is constructed a certain way... I'm going through Khan Academy's English modules, and they use a bunch of terminology I am unfamiliar with. Through doing main idea practice questions, I often have trouble picking which is the correct answer between two that I have narrowed down. Also have trouble with fill-in-the-blank questions. Any help would be much appreciated!

Is khan academy good sat prep?

3 Upvotes

I’ve had a bad experience with khan before. I just feel like it overcomplicates simple equations, but I’m looking for a free way to study for the sat.
Anyone who took the sat suggest khan academy? If not, what should I use?

"Number of past SAT scores you wish to report"

I gave the SAT twice and got the same exact score and same exact component scores as well. I'll only put the september SAT tho, do I select one or two on the options, since i gave two but only reporting one

How to not choke on PSAT

• Upvotes

I want to get the National Merit Scholarship and I just got a 1500 on the SAT (740 R&W and 760 Math) but it kind of felt like a fluke because that test was so hard. I have my PSAT in 10 days and I just want to know how I can not choke on the test.

Math score going down and r/w up

1 Upvotes

I usually score a 700-750 on math and then a 680-730 on r/w but on the last test I just took I got a 770 r/w and 700 on math. Does anyone know why this is, or how to fix it? I'm taking the SAT again on Wednesday and want to improve both scores.

the SAT needs my help or i need them?

2 Upvotes

So basically i took the August SAT and got 1110 (490 in English and 620 in math). I must say that i really and really studied a lot, and the exam was really easy for english during module 1 i dont know how i ended up getting an easy Module 2 in English . I must admit i got a little mixed up in Module 2 math. so i took the September and ended up with a 1130 ( 490 in English and 640 in Math). The English was very hard in Module 1, so I expected Module 2 to be easier but just ended up getting Module 2 hard so I thought I might have solved Module 1 well, although I guessed so many questions. The math was EASy as hell; I don't know how i got this flopped in the end. So i took the OCTOBER EXAM and the Module 1 english was easy as hell again, but module 2 was mid. But the math was easy as hell, and i ended up with a 1140 480 in english and 660 on math) i swear i studied alot for this exam over a year, and i am not bad at math at all i solved alot of exams and i got 700+. engllish i used to get around 600+ but (I don't know if they College board are scamming me on something or if there is some crazy shit going around in the College Board, but I truly did study and put all my hard work. My parents want me to take December, but idk if i should take it because i got to start studying for my ACT 2 Bio and Chem because I am Egyptian and my exam is going to be in April and June 2027. i should start studying them by now. i keep thinking of taking the sat in August 2027 but I don't know what i should do i am pretty sure i will get 700+ in math sometime, but I don't know how i keep flopping in English, getting the same mark 3 times in a row. Should i take the December?


r/Sat • • 6h ago

I'm done with the SAT atleast until December

As an international student, I had always struggled with math ( idk why ). Finally, I took the october SAT and felt the math section was too easy, so i was scared i had gotten the easy 2nd module. Anyways, now I have a 1510 superscore and plan to get that up, but atleast this month, I'm finally over the SAT.

It hurts my heart

2 Upvotes

I need a 1450+ to get into the uni I want to. I am an international test taker. I was consistently getting around 1400 in my test scores, highest I went was a 1470 on test 10. I would really have been so happy with around a 1410~. I got a 1330 on the October SAT, a 30 point improvement compared to my august SAT. People say SAT doesn't matter and I know but I need it to get the college I want which will get me the job I want. It's so frustrating, I really hope my score got reduced as punishment for something and this is not my actual score. I will be giving again in November and really trying to push and maximize my score this time. Just one last gamble. At that point I will have wasted over 300 dollars of my parents' hard earned money over stupid tests. I wouldn't even be sad if I was getting a good score in the tests only to end up getting like a 1350 on the test. I would just accept my fate. All this time I have been trying to chase prestige. It feels like slamming your head into the wall for no reason, just pain, and you get nothing out of it. It just feels so unfair I have to compete with the same people who's parents are Ivy-Leaguers and my parents come from villages. Plus there is no time left. This is my final shot. This is it.

It just feels like this is my signal to lower the bar for what I want to do in life.

Buddy4study scholarship

1 Upvotes

Guys, I just apply for the buddy4study scholarship for my nov SAT attempt and it's been 2 days since I applied and I haven't got any reply. What do I do? Should I email them or should I request them for a refund? I think I checked off all the boxes for the eligibility criteria, except for the 12th mark sheet because I haven't given my 12th board examinations. As anybody been granted this scholarship within the span of 2-5 days, I would really like to know this.
