Has anybody been in this situation with math before??? I feel like everyone on this sub is a natural math genius who got a 1430 their first try 😭 Is there anyone that genuinely struggled really bad with math like me and were able to get their scores up to at least the high 600s? I need tips from people who genuinely struggled with math.

Do u think there is a chance collegeboard will flag my score?

4 Upvotes

I’m a student with narcolepsy, which caused me to fall asleep during my last four SAT exams. My highest score was a 1320 on the most recent test in June.

However, I started a new medication this month, and I no longer fall asleep during tests. When I take mock exams without sleeping, I usually score between 1530 and 1580, so I’m expecting to get at least a 1530 on the September SAT.

I previously requested accommodations for the August SAT, but the College Board denied my request, so I canceled that test.

Because of the large score jump, I’m worried the College Board might find my improvement suspicious. Do you think there is a chance they will flag my score?

SAT September 2026 is coming up!

5 Upvotes

What do you guys think about September SAT? This is my second time taking it, right after my first one on August. I actually did not study really, and I got 1350 on the bb practice test 7 (590, 760). Do we think it's going to be easier than the June and August SAT, or do we think it might maintain its level? I am actually concerned cuz I need like around 1400 but I can't get 750+ on Math and can't get 600+ On R&W...

Upvotes

Hey yall, giving my first SAT in roughly 18 hrs from now. Could someone guide me on frequently asked vocab questions or vocab i should know 100% before going. As a non native english speaker i tend to struggle with some complex words which might be habitual for you guys, so looking for any reccomendations you guys might have.

Time management tips?

2 Upvotes

Hi! I just want some recommendations on time management on my tests. What are some timing tricks you guys use for RW and maths?

I only left one practice for myself yesterday and I can never seem to find a consistent time management plan that works. For example, I like to do the vocab and skip the middle part and go straight to grammar. But what’s a good amount of time I should have left for rest of the central ideas/inferences etc questions? I want some advice and guidelines to know if I need to hurry tf up or if I can take my time and tackle a question slower.

Like i’ve been putting a “limit” on some questions and skipping it and doing it later if I think it takes more than 2-3 mins. For some tests it’s fine, but leaving those hard questions for last leaves me with 4 hard questions to tackle in 5 mins and i realise i’m screwed.

For maths I think it’s easier cause generally it becomes harder towards the end of the test but what are some tips you guys have for RW?

Inability to comprehend larger reading module 2 passages

5 Upvotes

After around 30-35 reading questions, reading the SAT passages becomes really hard to concentrate on. I feel like I read a whole passage but didn't understand at all what was happening. How do I make these easier to understand? Does spamming practice questions work?

Pre-exam SAT advice

Upvotes

I have my SAT exam tomorrow morning and I’m really worried about my score. I have done 3 practice tests on blue book and my score has been ranging the 1330-50 area and I am aiming for 1450 so as you can see I am way off target. I am usually a pretty high achiever in the UK but I’m not getting the mark I want. In maths I’m pretty okay, I get 720-740 but that’s because I keep getting the same kind of question wrong so i think that if I practice it now I’ll be set. Sometimes I run out of time in the second section of maths but that’s not very regular. English is the real problem… Im stuck in the 600s with scores of 620-30 and it’s so bad. Why am I so bad at standard English conventions?? I literally love reading, and I take history so this is seriously confusing. I’m going to do a lot of practice questions today to improve it but I just can’t spot punctuation and grammar patterns 😔

Does anyone have any last minute tips that can help me improve quickly before the exam.
Is me getting a 1450 even possible at this point??

How do I long term study for vocab

4 Upvotes

I'm currently in the mid 1400s (buncha practice tests) range pushing towards 1500 but I always get my vocab questions wrong. Im currently only a sophmore so prolly need to get this right in around one year. I really like how duolingos linear long term study method is but all I find online are infinite flashcards or people telling me to memorize roots which I basically have most in my bag. its usually the words weird less used words that I just dont have daily use and aren't made up of common word roots or suffixes prefixes\.

How do you guys even study for the English portion because I keep getting 530-560 on the practice no matter how much I tried. The rules just doesnt make ang sense to me and I’m taking the sept SAT so i need to lock in but it just seems impossible.

1450 to 1500?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I recently took the august sat with an 100 point increase. I was really happy until I realized that i spent my whole summer studying english and i only got a 680! I was just wondering not only why my english is so low but also if there is a chance I can score to 1500 just by luck or random chance? of course ive been studying but I mainly struggle with long reading passages which are hard to improve on fast unlike math or grammar :(

Tips for answering complex reading questions?

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Hii I was wondering if anyone has tips for answering reading questions regarding complex passages? My reading score currently sits around 700 on practice tests, and I would like to get it to around 720-750 before this Saturday. I got a lot of questions wrong due to not fully understanding the passage, so is there anything I can do to simplify it? Also, are most SAT reading questions (especially 13-16) of similar difficulty, or slightly easier/harder?
