An adaptive standardized test is the dumbest thing ever

OMG, I didn't know you could calculate mean and median in Desmos😳😳😳 thank you!

[redicent]

omg running an experiment to test the limits of the digital format is true dedication. thank you

Thank you SO MUCH! I took the digital PSAT in October, and struggled with the math section. I didn't even try to use Desmos, foolishly. I had no idea about all of the hacks-those are really going to be a game changer! I feel so much less stressed.

2024 grad here (1580 on the old SAT) - this is crazy stuff, especially the desmos bit. thanks for the video and good luck to future testers!

Hi, online SAT lab rat here (int'l student, took it in March 2023). It was a lot easier for me than paper tests, especially for reading and writing. The long passages killed me. Math was about the same difficulty, but then again, Desmos. Good luck you guys.

You are so awesome I've rewatched your SAT prep videos multiple times because they fill me with so much joy and hope for the future. Not only are your videos funny, but they are GENUINELY HELPFUL. I have not found a single other video that helps me with SAT prep whatsoever, they all just go into example problems in the most boring slow way possible. If I had more time before my SAT retake perchance I would even book a tutoring sesh with you. I have my SAT retake in three days so if I don't get a good math score on it I probably will :)

I'm taking the PSAT in 1 and a half hours, and this video really helped, thank you

you made me forget about all my pain and stress for this test. Thank you

Test Format Changes:
Shorter test: From 3 hours to 2 hours and 14 minutes.
Reading and writing sections combined.
Two math sections combined with a Desmos calculator available throughout.

Section Structure:
Each section has two modules.
Module 1: Same set of questions for all test-takers.
Module 2: Adapted based on performance in Module 1.

Scoring Implications:
Module 1 performance sets a baseline for the test.
Missing easy questions in Module 1 can significantly impact the score.
Perfect Module 1 performance allows some leeway in Module 2.

Content Changes:
Shorter reading passages and more isolated questions.
Reduced emphasis on word problems in math.
Removal of imaginary numbers from math section.
Geometry and trigonometry focus on basic concepts.

Desmos Calculator:
Provided for the entire test.
Enables graphing, solving systems of equations, and more.
Offers advanced features like calculating mean and median.

Score Reporting:
Scores available immediately after submitting the test.
Transition to digital aims to speed up score delivery.

this video answers all my questions I had for the sat and best of all it proved some of my assumptions on how it works. Thanks man!

[heyahowareyou]

U r literally a godsend, thank you so much 🙏🙏

Those vine boom sound effects in a math video really really change the game

[jennabaily]

Did not know about the Desmos calculator thx dude😅

tysm!! i took one for practice rn (im a rising junior) and was kinda scared it was the old version, but the questions you showed as examples were all on the one i took so everythings ok lol :-) i was also kinda confused in the grading system cause ive always heard that getting a question wrong would take 10 points off your total (1600) score, so when i saw that to calculate ur score they gave u a range instead of a specific number i was like ??? but this vid explained it really well, so thank u for helping !!!
edit: i also did it without using desmos so i was like super surprised when u said we could use it. its crazy because for like half of the problems you dont even have to think much about the problem itself but about how you can get an "easy" answer with desmos. kinda crazy they allow it ngl

[Twinner-]

Thank you so much!! This is the most helpful sat video I’ve ever seen. I am literally so great full for you.
