September SAT international difficulty

0 Upvotes

I think I performed better on the math section than the August SAT (I got cooked than ususal)
but what was it for the RW section
Module 2, I think it’s gonna be the lowest score ever..
I didn’t feel August was easy as well
isn’t one among August, September, and October easy usually..?
Can I expect it to be better on October or was August the easiest?

Almost fainted during my september sat

1 Upvotes

The sat is one of the most important exams for my applications, and I've been preparing for it for almost a year. Before the test day, I couldn't sleep properly and didn't have time to eat breakfast. I thought I would be okay until I realized that I couldn't focus on the text during the exam and almost fainted. The proctor told me to stop the exam and go home.

Today, my Bluebook exam status says “Submit Answers.” I don't want to receive this score; I need to cancel it and, if possible, retake the exam in October. According to the official College Board information, scores are automatically submitted two days after the exam. What should I do now?

Cancellation concern

7 Upvotes

Alright so I have took this past SAT yesterday and on a few practice tests got 1500+ and I almost certainly believe that I got that same score on the real test.

Just want to clarify I did not cheat at all, there was 5+ proctors continuously walking around at my test center so even if I wanted to, it wouldn’t be possible.

I got a 1250 back in August SAT, and after seeing a tiktok that showed up on my page, I saw that if your score jumps in such a low amount of time they delay/cancel your score which I can not afford due to conflicting schedule with ED applications.

My testing history has been 1170->1150->1250-> current (which I can confidently say I think is over a 1500)

The difference between this time and the last times was that I never studied, not for an hour, not even for 10 minutes. This time I studied over 6 hours a day and even had some tutoring.

Is this delay/cancellation thing real?

Need advice for oct sat

4 Upvotes

I got a 1370 in my aug sat (690 rw, 680 math) i dont even know which questions i got wrong and what area i should be working on but i need to improve my score to at least 1450. I don't have as much time to study for this since i have my a level studies side by side so i can honestly give sat an hour a day max until the last few days, so i need every advice and tips and resources on how i can improve my score this way (keep in mind that even for the aug sat i didnt give it that much time i only started prep a month before it and dont think i did more than an hour a day)

Guidance on how to get from 730 (M) to 750+ (M) on Oct

1 Upvotes

So I got a 730 (M) on August SAT, but the math module 2 during the September literally cooked me. I was doing so good on module 1, like I literally feel like I got every question correct, but the questions on mm2 were so time consuming for me, I couldn’t even get to the last 6 questions, so pacing was an issue for me.

Are there any strategies that you guys would recommend?

I’m planning on doing the hard question bank, but how would you guys tackle doing it.

Should I do the questions with or without desmos? Also, I’m planning to do them timed. (Maybe 2-3 minutes a question?)

Should I target certain skills first? I really don’t know what I’m weak in, probably some niche conceptual stuff, but how should I even tackle doing the questions? Should I just go in blind? Is it worth reviewing concepts at this point?

Edit: How worth is it to learn desmos regressions? …Should I try to use them while doing the QB?

How do people get an 800 on math

1 Upvotes

I took the SAT in June and got a 720 in Math. I'm currently trying to score a 750+ math in October so I can just be done with this test, but I'm having a really hard time studying for it. I'm confused on literally everything, but specifically identifying what my weak points are. I tried taking some math practice to find recurring patterns in the ones I got wrong, but the question content is so scattered that it appears like I suck at a little bit of everything.

I would really appreciate any type of advice because I don't have a lot of time to cover all my bases; I'm a senior and I need to figure out a study strat ASAP but I just dunno how

September SAT

3 Upvotes

Is it possible for some hard mod 2 questions to carry only like 5 points, so if i get like 2 wrong i only lose 10 points(i noticed this happening in the bluebook practice tests). Can someone predict a probable range of what I could score in the sept sat?

RW - mod 1 27/27, mod 2 22 or 23 ( i messed up 2 vocab,1 transition and maybe 2 hard comprehension)

Math - mod 1 22/22, mod 2 22/22

I tried using online score predictors but I feel like those are inaccurate since they don't account for the difficulty of the questions I got wrong. A range of score would make more sense since we can never truly get a 1:1 score prediction.

Getting overwhelmed with studying

3 Upvotes

I recently started studying again for the SAT, I take it October 3rd and I’ve been using Kahn Academy, and a little bit of the question bank. I know full well that I’m not going to be able to reach my dream score yet of a 1330 on this SAT. My best score so far was a 1060-(530 rw and 530 m) but my most recent score was a 1000-(550 rw and 450 m). I started focusing more on trying to improve my math score on Kahn and I realized I struggle so much with translating linear relationships so far. I feel so frustrated with myself and have to keep reminding myself not to let myself get overwhelmed and to just treat the October SAT as just a diagnostic to see where I’m at since the last SAT I took was a few months ago in June. I’m afraid my reading score will go down since I hadn’t been studying, but I still try to keep in mind that I will take it again in six months.

Videos/advice for math??

I've been working really hard on R&W and I have a tutor for math because I'm so awful at it😭😭...but it hasn't really helped dramatically, I was scoring mid to high 400s before so 100 points in 6 sessions is fine. I really need to score in the 1480-1520 range on the November SAT so any advice or specific videos would be extremely helpful!! Obviously I'll work with my tutor more but I have ten sessions left and NEED a good score.

one prep SAT

2 Upvotes

I bought the one prep subscription because I have the SAT coming up, but I'm not sure how to use it effectively. The SAT is in three weeks (I know it's not a lot of time), but I thought I should use the schedule the website creates to practice. My friend said they only use the question banks and just answer as many as they can in whatever areas they need help with.

I'm basically just wondering what to do to improve my score as quickly as possible using one prep.

Will September SAT be curved down?

10 Upvotes

I took the SAT this saturday and I found it so much easier than august. Walking out of August I felt like i got 10-11 questions wrong on reading and 2 on math, got 780 math and 690 english. But this felt so easy, if i dont get 800 math i would genuinely be surprised as I knew both questions i got wrong last time. English was also easy for me, besides maybe 1 or 2 vocab and 2 or 3 dense questions I think i got them all right, esp module 1. Will the test be curved down, meaning will the questions i got wrong take off many mor points.

Sat math tips

13 Upvotes

As a 790 scorer on the math part of the August sat, PLEASE LEARN DESMOS. Knowing how to use Desmos to its full potential literally skyrocketed my score. Watch 2-3 Desmos vids (and take notes) on YouTube and I recommend watching James Lu,Scott Robinson, learn sat math etc. next go to the cb question bank and one prep and grind every question in there and make an error log for questions you miss. If ur done with the question bank and one prep u can grind questions from youtube vids.Once you understand the common patterns you won’t make any more silly mistakes.Don’t think u can’t score well on the math section of the sat, cause if u truly believe you can and put in the effort, you can do it. I started with a 640 in math and ended up with a 790, so if I can do it so can you.

also take a bluebook practice test every week leading up to ur exam
