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.

Just took the PSAT. Genuinely one of the easiest test I ever sat for

• Upvotes

Bro it was like God struck me bro I was in flow state. English was the easiest it could ever be, I actually understood the paragraphs!!! Vocab was so easy, all words people know (or should know) already. Math mod 1 was like the easiest thing ever, as always.

BUT

mod 2 math was fine but I lowk ran out of time and I’m frustrated bc if I had more time I would would’ve genuinely gotten a 1600 I actually promise

post about someone who is hating

9 Upvotes

Hi guys, i don’t use reddit much, I am aware i made a post here earlier asking for tips but i wanted to inform you all about a reddit user called “OkPurple” with some numbers at the end i don’t exactly recall who is giving a lot of hate to users on here. They are being extremely rude, they might be a bot i’m not too sure, but if you see this person commenting under your post or commenting under someone else’s post please report them! They are being so unnecessarily rude to users on here! And if anyone is upset or disappointed in themselves please remember you guys are young and do not need to have anything figured out in life. I myself am disappointed with myself and I know it sucks but please don’t give up on yourself, a number does not define you! And if you see this person commenting under posts don’t listen to what they have to say because you are more than a number!

Need reccomendations

2 Upvotes

So, guys, this was my first ever SAT(in my WHOLE LIFE) on September. I need minimum 1490 for university medicine school application. My university will be NU (Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan) and I need some reccomendations on how to improve. I do bluebooks tests, but math there is a bit easier. I, also, have been watching "SAT Gamified" a lot (great channel btw), James Liu (It's a bit boring and not understandable most of the time) and websites like "SAT League" and Aniko Ai. I have good English (IELTS is 7.5 btw), so I'm improving both my RW and Math, but I need my math to be max, or at least 700. Can you recc me anything good? Please? I need to ace my math a fast as possible as well as Desmos. I'm writing next SAT on November.

I studied so much these past months for absolutely nothing. I watched so much of Scott Robertson and Lu and thought I genuinely understood everything. No idea what I’m going to do now.

Finally did it and am done with this test!! Feel free to ask me anything.

I started off with a 1450 last October and was in that range for a long time, so I know what it is like to feel stuck, but you just gotta keep on grinding and believe that it is going to work out.

250 point increase with 2 weeks worth of studying 😮

Okay little story time... the first time I took the SAT was in March. I worked my ass off, walked out knowing I’d done terribly, and got an 1160. Not a TERRIBLE score, but considering how much time and effort I’d put in, I was devastated.

I was so demotivated that I basically gave up on the SAT altogether, I genuinely had no motivation to try again. I was fully prepared to apply test-optional and never look at that stupid test again.

Fast forward to late September. Knee-deep in college apps, I suddenly realized I actually needed a good SAT score 😭😭 I registered last minute and got straight to work.

When I say I WORKED, I mean I WORKED. I had like two weeks, so I was studying 2–3 hours a day, eating, sleeping, and breathing James Lu. I was NERVOUSSS.

October SAT day arrives, and I walk out feeling absolutely HORRIBLE. I genuinely thought the universe decided to give me the hardest SAT known to man. I literally left around 10 questions blank because I was running out of time.

At that point, I just accepted defeat. I was fully prepared for an even WORSE score than March and had basically erased the entire test from my memory. I’d already decided to apply test optional.

UNTIL today... I log into College Board with my eyes practically CLOSED, expecting an 1100 at best... AND I SEE 1410?????? GUYS. A 1410. I genuinely thought I was looking at one of my practice test scores.

I know it’s not everyone’s dream score but im so so proud of myself.

Anyways, now I’m motivated to keep going and hopefully superscore to a 1500+ in November. WE ARE SO BACK.

I just wanted to say this to anyone who’s disappointed with their score right now: PLEASE don’t give up on yourself. I know how awful it feels to work so hard and feel like none of it paid off. But one bad score doesn't mean you're incapable of doing better :))

Psat Curveball

• Upvotes

I am a sophomore in high school who literally just took the Psat. I just wanted to say, what did i just do that was an absolute curveball we got barely any time and all the questions were so difficult im in trig so im advanced in math as a sophomore but even the math was kind of hard. I definitely bombed it I dont know though. But I want to retake the PSAT so what tips can I get for when i retake it in the spring?


r/Sat • • 1d ago

Compared to other scores it might be bad but I’m so happy!

I thought I had done so much worse this time but I actually did a tiny bit better!!!! If I add my highest scores 690 rw and 640 math its 1330 and that means I might have a chance for a full scholarship in my state (they accept superscores)

JUST NEED TO DO 100 work hours now and I’m set 🥹 it’s so cool cuz I at no point studied for English, so it kinda just increased on its own, and by exactly the amount of points I needed!!!

Idk what the heck I want to study but at least now il have a chance of going to college 😁 and to be fair this time i had not studied for math either just did my regular math homework (only algebra) so it makes sense why my math score sucked.
