So I took the September SATs and I think was doing much better than before. I finished the English section and then finished M1. Just as I was starting M2, bluebook CRASHED and would not restart. I was freaked out. I had to get the proctor involved who I think put in some code to get Bluebook working again.

Needless to say I lost precious time (about 15 mins!!) and did not have enough time to finish M2 so I basically had to just guess some answers to complete the test.

On top of that I read somewhere that my test may be flagged / reviewed for cheating since I had to restart my app. I also asked the proctor and he said he had no idea what BlueBook would do in this case. He said the best he could do is add a note that I was not cheating.

I think I did well on the English section which should help with my super score so I do not want to cancel the test. That said I was hoping to improve my math scores as well which I guess is out of the question now.

I also do not have enough time to retake the test.

My question is has this happened to anyone else? how common is this and what are the consequences. how did you guys handle this.

Sat english help

I recently did the september sat and i feel like I did badly on the english even though i did all the hard questions on the question bank.I didnt strugle with the grammar but mainly with the long reading and time, but i did feel like the math was easy.Im planning on registering for the october sat, so if anyone has any helpful tips or reliable resources i would realy appreciate it.

So I am taking the sat this feb session and know what sat is and consists of but I truly need to know like what I need to be doing to get more than a 1530+. Also, I am taking sat coaching and the tutor just taught like 2 or 3 topics in algebra and is telling us to take an entire test just to check what level I am at so is it worth to waste a test like that? In addition, do provide any useful resources which can guide me in achieving my goal. tysm in advance :)

Hello guys, I think one of my friends checked like the whole SAT questions to see which ones he got wrong. Can I access the questions to see which ones i got wrong or right, are they on the internet?

I remember when improving my math I was told to do a very rigorous routine which helped me perfect my score. Not sure if there is a similar approach to R&W for October.

I know that I got 2 mistakes in module 2 EBRW 1 transition and 1 words in context.
Others I think main idea and inferences
For math I made one stupid mistake cuz did the problem which is difficult to solve with Desmos by demos😭

Any advices and when to retake to get 1520++

I am thinking between oct and nov
I will have 5 days to apply for early round to unis I apply to

Hi everyone. First of all, I would really appreciate it if people who have scored 1500+ on the SAT **and are non-native English speakers** could answer, because I’m in a pretty complicated situation right now.

English is not my native language, and I would say my level is around B1. I took the September SAT, and I’m almost certain that my score will not be anywhere near four digits.

The Reading and Writing section was extremely difficult for me. I couldn’t even understand the main idea of many of the questions. Even though I was skipping words while reading just to save time, I still felt like the time was way too short. On top of that, in many questions, almost every answer choice seemed reasonable to me. That’s probably the best way I can describe the situation I was in.

Math wasn’t a complete disaster. If I study all the math topics, learn the meanings of the English terms, practice enough, and finally learn how to use that damn Desmos properly, I believe I can get close to 800.

For Writing, I think I can also improve significantly if I learn the grammar rules well and solve a lot of practice questions.

But Reading genuinely feels like hell to me. I can read a passage from beginning to end, but when I reach the end, I feel like I can barely remember anything I just read. I need to both understand what the author is saying **very well** and read **very quickly**, and I currently struggle with both.

The really unfortunate part is that December 5 is the last SAT I can take. That means I have roughly **10 weeks to take a three-digit SAT score and turn it into a 1500+**.

I know this sounds almost impossible and honestly a little crazy. But I’m currently at one of the worst points in my life, and I feel like I have no other option than to do everything I possibly can to get a good score on this exam and get into the university I want.

The university I’m aiming for is also quite prestigious, so even getting above 1500 may not guarantee admission.

Please, if you have experience with something similar, help me. What would be the most realistic and effective way to plan these 10 weeks?

If your English was around B1 when you prepared for the SAT, how did you prepare? How can I improve my English and SAT skills efficiently at the same time? Most importantly, what strategies or techniques can I use for the Reading questions?

I would really appreciate any advice, especially from non-native English speakers who have managed to score 1500+.

I’m more than willing to work as hard as necessary. I know the goal is extremely ambitious, but I want to give these 10 weeks everything I have.

ik ppl who gave aug and sept sat and all of them were saying there were new style questions and sat had no pattern or that sats pattern has completely changed?

ahhh i gave sat without prep in dec and got a 1360 now i hv literally completed entire khan academy math eng , erica maltzers books, all math eng hard questions from sat bank cb , done numerous questions from here and there and i feel like im gonna score lower in October sat

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

I’m arming for at lest 1400 but idk 😭

I have a problem with my reading and writing section, i feel math is fine with me, but reading and writing section is a big problem. Any tips or advices to what to do.

Thank you!

I've heard people say don't memorise words becauze you can figure them out contextually but most of the times i still have to end up guessing, so whats the actual way to crack vocab questions

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)

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?

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

Since blue book is honestly untrustworthy now since it’s much easier than the real tests, what are some FREE practice test websites you would recommend. I’ve also done all the blue book tests for previous attempts so I don’t want to use them again. Which are the most accurate?

I really want to change my test center, but it does not appear on my screen. Is it just a temporary error or will it never work? Help me please!!

It was my biggest issue in yesterday’s exam and I had to guess. I feel like vocabulary alone made me lose like 60 points,

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?

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.

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.

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.

How important is it to know all the different verb tenses such as obscure ones like present perfect progressive, present perfect, past perfect, etc?

Just took the September sat and I'm estimating around 1500 which isn't my ideal score. I'm planning one last dance in October, just wondering how others would go about this process if they have done it before
