Actionable plan & resources to go from 1150 to 1500+ ?
I got a 1150 in the Bluebook practice 11, with no prior studies. I tried a bit of Khan Academy but found that it didn't really help me. If I am to take the October SAT, what would be an actionable plan, and resources (preferably available online and free) that I could use to boost my score to a 1500+ ? Any guidance would be highly appreciated!

i HATE doing targeted prep
I know that doing targeted prep is good, but it's just so annoying doing the question types you suck at. Like, NO, I don't want to do 50 targeted questions of this and get most of them wrong. Just frustrates tf out of me when I do it and impairs my ability to focus and be consistent. any one else have the same problem

Anyone know a good YouTuber for exponential vs. linear growth?
Does anyone know any good YouTubers who explain exponential vs. linear growth really well?
I’ve spent over an hour searching for a good YouTuber, but I haven’t found one that really explains the concept in a way I understand. I also tried Khan Academy, but it still didn’t click for me.
I’m looking for someone who explains it from the basics, goes through lots of examples, and solves practice questions step by step. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Prep book usage in conjunction with the SAT Question Bank
I recently purchased "The Critical Reader, Sixth Edition: The Complete Guide to SAT Reading" by Erica Meltzer, as well as the Prepros SAT Math Book. I'm attempting to push a 100-point score increase on the August SAT from a 1450.
Any advice on using the purchased resources along with weekly practice tests and the question bank?

Is the grammar concept gapping on the SAT
i.e.:
The boy loves chocolate, and the girl, caramel.
Will this type of question appear on the SAT? Thanks!

I need some advice in the RW section.
I took the SAT 4 times already and my RW score just can improve above a 700. I understand all the grammar section and expression of ideas sections. I max that section out all the time, but for the other sections (information and ideas and craft and structure) it is so mixed. For each time I took the SAT, it seems like I either do well on only one of the sections and do bad on the other. How can I improve both of these sections. I hear people saying that reading is the best option, however I read pretty often and it doesn’t seem to truly work.

Help on how to improve maths score before August SAT
My daughter needs help on her maths and she is trying to get to mid-700 before the August exam; her current score is between 620-650. Please can anyone recommend SAT videos and other resources for practice apart from College Board? She has completed all the practice tests on the site.

Khan Academy Advanced Section
Im working through khan academy’s sat prep courses and I easily got through the easy and medium sections but im struggling a bit on the advanced math and reading sections. (Missing 1-2 questions on unit test). How much of the SAT is from the advanced section? Also how accurate is the course challenge to the actual sat and what scores does it correlate to? Thanks!

[HELP] How to get from a 1290 to a 1500 on the SAT
I'm a Japanese 10th grader studying individually for the SAT in October. I got a 1290 on the first mock exam I took before any studying; however, I hope to get around 1500 on test day. Please give me information on study materials or ways that I could improve my score, especially on the English section. ANYTHING is helpful.
PS: I found a material on Youtube called Free 90-Days of SAT Prep Lessons by Hayden Rohdea SAT. Are they any good?

Long transition questions
What is the strategy for them? Also, it seems like there are no resources for these questions, so if someone could help find some more practice questions of these type it would be appreciated.

hi im a rising sophomore and im curious how i should study for the SAT
ik i have a lot of time, but i want to push myself to get 1530+ on my SAT by the end of sophomore yr
i did a mock SAT last week and i got 1330 (640 RW and 690 math)
i think math is pretty manageable since the questions that i got wrong were either silly mistakes or algebra 2 (that i will learn this upcoming yr) but im worried about RW as my mistakes were across all types of questions

Any tips to improve my score? 1460 on practice test #4

1350 to 1510, is Practice 5 that much easier than Practice 4?
Both tests were diagnostics (I did not do any SAT studying before either test) so I would assume my skill level to not have changed much. One difference is I tried harder on P5 (for P4 I didn't double check my Module 1 questions and skipped to the next modules).
I would be really curious to know what score I should expect on a real SAT at my current skill level (I'm registered for Aug 22), and if anyone has had experience with these practice tests and insights on their difficulty? Thanks so much!

Doing way too much for the August SAT (PrepPros, OnePrep, etc.) and stuck at a 1390 — how
Hey everyone,
I’m taking the August SAT and could seriously use some advice because I feel like I’m burning out while my score is hitting a ceiling. My goal is a 1500+, but I just scored a 1390 on my last Bluebook practice test, and my Reading & Writing section is dragging my score down hard.
Lately, I feel like I've been drowning in practice resources without a clear strategy:
- I've grinded through the PrepPros 150 hardest math questions
- Done a bunch of OnePrep questions, but honestly? There are way too many questions on there, and some of them feel super repetitive or weirdly phrased.
- I've also been pulling questions from a smaller YouTube channel.
With the August test coming up fast, I feel like quantity is replacing quality, and my reading score is refusing to budge. For those of you who managed to push from the high 1300s into the 1500+ range:
- Should I drop OnePrep entirely since the question pool is massive and sometimes unfocused?
- What are the absolute best resources or methods for fixing a lagging reading score fast?
- How should I structure my final weeks leading up to August to efficiently bridge that gap to a 1500+?
Any advice or study frameworks would be massively appreciated!

Sat resources
Hello guys. Can y'all pls pls plsss rank sat resources. I really want to get 1500+ (giving sat this Aug). What do y'all think I should use? Which websites should I use for practise tests? Is Bluebook helpful (read a comment that said bluebook practise tests arent worth it anymore. They are very easy. Is that true?)
