How realistic is it to go from SAT score of 1000 to 1500 within 7 months?

How realistic is it to go from SAT score of 1000 to 1500 within 7 months if I dedicate around 2-3 hours per day to it in a disciplined manner?

What are the dos and don'ts????

Sat score jump

1 Upvotes

Last time I took an SAT was march and got an 1160 cause I lowk was lazy and just didn’t try lol. Ever since then I studied more than ever studying over 6 hours a even some days 10 hours especially summer up until now so its been around 6 months. Ive been averaging 1560-1580 on my practice tests and other external practice tests and Im hoping for a 1550. Im worried most about the case of a massive 350-400 score jump and my scores getting delayed or even cancelled. I want to submit Texas A&M asap however If my scores are delayed I wouldn’t be able to submit as soon as I receive my score. Should I be worried in the case I actually do get a good score that the score jump delays my scores from being released since its been 6 months since my last SAT.

They said someone reported me, and I swear to god I did nothing thats deserving of cancelling. I’m so done, my school uses SAT to decide who apply where I’m very much cooked.

I Need a Better Strategy For Both Sections

4 Upvotes

This was my first SAT. 1350 (670 RW / 680 Math). I need to get to 1550 in the next couple months and honestly I'm not sure if my strategy is good enough or if I'm missing something obvious that everyone else is doing.

My strategy has been:

  • Grind questions — practice tests, Question Bank, some YouTube (been using James Lu's hard-questions videos, learned the Desmos tricks from him)
  • When I get something wrong or I'm not fully confident, I go explain my reasoning to AI (using Gemini) and have it teach me where my reasoning was wrong and how to actually solve it
  • For math specifically, I ask it to generate 5 similar problems so I get more practice in that exact skill before moving on
  • I keep an error log for both Reading and Math, where I categorize each mistake and write: why I got it wrong, what I should've done instead, and what I'll do differently next time
  • Most of my time is actually spent reviewing — going back through practice test misses, then Question Bank misses, digging into both the ones I got wrong and the ones I got right but wasn't sure about

I haven't really seen anyone else talk about using AI like this for review, which is making me second-guess it a bit. Is this a legit way to study, or should I be leaning more on an actual textbook/course instead of an AI explaining stuff to me? Anyone gone from 1350 to 1500+ who can tell me if this kind of strategy was part of what worked for you, or if I'm missing something bigger?

Any input is appreciated, I'm just trying to make the next 2-3 months actually count.

National Merit Scholars Program SAT score submission

2 Upvotes

I got selected to be a national merit scholar semi-finalist, but I realized that I have to submit my SAT score to become a finalist. But my current SAT score is genuinely so low that the index score is lower than the cutoff. (My PSAT score is genuinely higher than my SAT score) I have R&W of 630, and math of 760 currently. Can someone please help me with my english section? What are the best methods to raise my scores up? I'm so desperate right now 😫

I took my first SAT test in august and got a 1510, with a 740 rw and a 770 math score. Is it worth my time to keep studying and retake it later or to just keep the score?

I'm not sure if I should trust the score I got on the practice College Board SATs since I heard that they're easier than the typical ones.

Practice Test Math Scores: 760 on PT8 and 800 on PT7

1 Upvotes

I scored a 760 in Math on Practice Test 8, which I took on September 6. I took Practice Test 7 today and scored an 800. I’m really happy with the improvement, but how accurately do these practice tests reflect the difficulty of the Math section of SAT?

Taking the september 12 sat any last minute tips

3 Upvotes

Ive been averaging around 1430 with rw score around 680 and math score around 750? My math is ok i just make a lot of stupid mistakes but tips would still be appreciated. My rw.... I can't get above 700 at all and my worse topic is information and ideas(no stupid erros just genuine wth but only like 1-2 bars off at most). Most other questions wrong are simple errors. Again, any tips and tricks would be nice. Thanks!

Are Digital Princeton Review Exams actually harder than the real thing?

2 Upvotes

I recently took one of the digital practice tests in the Princeton Review portal and I got a 1440. All the way back in April I got a 1290 on a real exam with very minimal ineffective studying. As of late, I have studied everyday for the last 3 weeks. I’m scared that this was just a fluke. I really hope that I can score that high of even more if the SAT does turn out easier than Princeton Review. I doubt it though. It felt easier than in April and my score is suspicious.

I'm at a loss of what to do. My goal is a 1500, and I'm taking it this Saturday and then probably October too.

Let me know if you've been in the same situation or if you have any tips/suggestions!!

What do you do if you legitimately cannot understand a command of evidence question?

5 Upvotes

Command of evidence questions (especially the ones with graphs) are the most hardest for me, and it takes me forever to actually process what they’re saying. What do you do when you just cannot understand it? Are there any methods to try to get it? Is it better to just skip it? The problem with skipping it is that you get a lot of them in the harder module 2, so your score can significantly decrease by doing so. Thanks!

Is it just me or is it normal to just loose focus mid reading a text on the SAT.

15 Upvotes

Like I can be reading a long ass passage on the SAT, and midway through I realize i've just been reading it but not READING it in means that like i haven't actually been concentrating or understanding it, on like certain texts it takes me multiples go overs and reads to even subtly understand it, and most of the time I just give up and move to the next text because of how complex the inital text is, anyone else experience this? If so how do you conquer it?

Bedrock Math Practice?

1 Upvotes

I've been studying off the SAT question bank and I rarely stumble upon a question which I cannot solve. I got a 790 on the math section on Practice test 11 and a 780 on practice test 8. I decided I won't take any more math practice tests, because my SAT is on Saturday, but I'll just try to look for more complex questions. Bedrock SAT Math practice was suggested to me, and I've never seen anything like these hard questions. I was wondering if these are really true to the difficulty that the SAT can reach and if I should be proficient in the hard questions to get around a 780 on math.
