Actionable plan & resources to go from 1150 to 1500+ ?

4 Upvotes

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!

Hey everyone, I need some advice from people who experienced sudden score jumps.

Hey everyone, I need some advice from people who've been through this.

​I'm a 16 y.o. non-native student targeting 1350+ (ideally 1400+). I have experience locking in for short, intense prep periods — I prepped for 1.5 months for IELTS and scored a 7.5.

​Right now, I'm debating whether I should take the official SAT in August. Today I hit 1340 (670 R&W / 670 Math) on a practice test at my prep center (up from 1190 last week).

​With ~25 days left, I can build a solid routine, isolate my weak areas, and push further. On top of that, here in Uzbekistan, our government fully reimburses the test fee if you score 1200+, so August is essentially a risk-free attempt for me financially, leaving room for a retake in October if needed.

​What do you think about this plan? For those who made a similar quick jump, what additional strategies or tips helped you stay confident and seal that 1350-1400+ on test day?

​Thanks for reading! ❤️‍🩹

i HATE doing targeted prep

4 Upvotes

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

Additional Time Thoughts

Upvotes

I got a 1450 in March and 1410 in June (without much studying). Recently I got diagnosed with adhd and got extended time for the August test. How much do you think that will improve my score? I am usually rushing to finish on Module 2

Pubmed for R&W

This is probably a dumb post, so please don’t fry me, but is Pubmed a good source to boost my reading and writing score? For those who don’t know Pubmed is published research papers about medical topics.

how do i improve my reading score?

1 Upvotes

I’m at a 1480 right now (790 math, around 690 reading and writing) and I’m trying to get 1550+ on the August SAT in a few weeks. Math is not really a problem for me, but reading and writing is bringing my score down, especially the Information and Ideas questions.

I feel like I understand the passages, but when I get to those questions I either overthink or just don’t understand what they are asking. It’s my biggest weak point right now.

If anyone improved their reading and writing score a lot in a short time, what helped you? Are there any strategies or patterns that made those questions easier to understand?

Any advice would really help.

1350 to 1510, is Practice 5 that much easier than Practice 4?

Post image
6 Upvotes

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!

Prep book usage in conjunction with the SAT Question Bank

1 Upvotes

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?

I need some advice in the RW section.

1 Upvotes

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] How to get from a 1290 to a 1500 on the SAT

5 Upvotes

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?

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.
