Am I the only one who thinks about some random shit while reading ☠️ I just can’t focus

[kim-travels]

I watched this video and somehow raised my score from 1430 (Sept 26 SAT) to 1500 (Oct 3 SAT) in 1 week wow! thank you so much

[rockellkim]

1. take as many practice tests as you possibly can.
2. don't time time yourself while practicing.
3. take one subject at a time!
4.don't mark the right answers on the questions you get wrong mark an X instead.
5. treat each test like its your last!

To save more time, in the reading portion I would read the questions before I read the article so I automatically know what I’m looking for. That way I don’t have to go back and read through the article again.

Let me tell you my story :) first time I took my PSAT when I was in freshmen year and I got a 560 😂 I took it again in sophomore year and I got 940, I took the psat again in junior year and I got 1200+, I’ve been self studying past 5 months and I think I can get 1400+ ..

[weebonyoutube]

all my scores look like the waves in the ocean, rising and falling every time

[celestekealia]

I wanted at least a 1300. That was my goal, my minimum. I Got an 1170. Now I’m retaking it senior year but I’m completely dejected. I have a couple weeks left. I’m really trying to understand things better. People are counting on me.

This is so helpful! I’m also trying to raise my original score around 300 points to get in the 1500s range and seeing that you were able too helps me see that it’s possible! :)

[rithvikyagnamurthy]

Honestly, for me at least, knowing that there will be another opportunity really relieved my test anxiety and I ended up with a much better score than I predicted!

[yys]

I’m gonna leave my progress here..! No judging.
Practice Test 1: 1090
#2: 1070
#3: 1190
#4: 1230
(P.s. I’m a rising freshman. I need a sat score for a highschool I’m applying for)

[hahire]

Yesterday, I took my first SAT practice test as an 8th grader and I got 1180. I am so happy!

[luisagf]

My tip: if you know you’re taking the ACT, study for that FIRST! The timing of the ACT is much faster so if you study hard and get used to it, the SAT will seem like a piece of cake! (At least that’s how it was for me)

[carolinejameson]

That’s so funny… we got the EXACT same first two SAT scores (1190 and 1360)! Hoping that’s a good sign, and through hard work and dedication, there will be a 1510 in my future!!

[abbycall]

Can I just say THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’m British and taking the SAT after being in a different system bc I want to study in the US, I got a 1130 on my first ever test w no prep at all, I was super disappointed because I want to get into Ivy League. Your video made me realize that it’s possible to actually improve my score significantly and I can’t wait to get a 1400+ with hard work!

[hallsofhamad]

Thank you so much! I’m currently studying for the SAT as well, and I really recommend the college panda books, including Erika Meltzer’s Critical reading for the reading section!

[elijahmakel]

I took it at the end of my sophomore year and got a 1310. Just took it again 2 months into junior year and got a 1400. My Superscore is a 1440 combining my 2 tests. Hoping this video helps me reach the 1500 I want by the end of my junior year.

[crazedxi]

I needed this, I didn’t study and after a year of virtually no education, the SAT was rough. I’m an intelligent man, and I got a 1270. I am hoping that if I relearn and learn all the formulas I can get in the 1500s range.

[manaliebarot]

just dropped by to check in on my favorite youtuber and she's still killing the game!!! GO YOU!!!

[Veroxus]

I scored a 1590 and got into Stanford, but you do have slightly more subscribers than me, and Berkeley is the best UC.

How I scored a 1590 was essentially learning all of the grammar rules through an Erica Meltzer book, reading The Economist every day until my reading comprehension peaked, and doing math drills with Nielson Phu's College Panda Math book until I could finish the entire book without missing a single question in a row.

What helped me get into Stanford is the fact that I had strong stats, stellar essays, and my extracurricular was me starting a company at the age of 15.

Good luck at Berkeley!

aiming for 1500+ in june. thanks for your strategies!
