SAT Help

Hii, could someone please tell me how to improve my SAT score? I just got my results back and I got a 1110 (660 ELA, 450 Math). I feel like I could improve my ELA score pretty easily but I have a really hard time with the math. Do you have any hacks, shortcuts during exam, or tips for memorization?

Hey! I'm in a similar situation. Everything I find talks about using Khan Academy! Try taking a look at the certain areas you struggle in and then locate those topics in khan academy for practice. Honestly, it seems weird, but if you ask ChatGpt to give you a practice tutor session on certain topics it actually really helps.

Khan Academy is great, but it can be difficult to pinpoint what kind of questions you struggle with. I noticed that you are struggling with the Math section. The calculator in the SAT is called Desmos, and it has plenty of shortcuts you can use. I would suggest watching some videos about how to use it to answer practice SAT questions. Good luck!

Try using oneprep, take a practice test and it can tell you what areas you're weak in

The easiest thing from me with math was to focus on the stuff I know and reinforce that knowledge. Different things work for different people, but if you are good at, say, Geometry, focus on expanding your geometrical knowledge.

I'm awful at memorization too but something that helps me is coming up with a jingle or song that goes with formulas. For example, learning the quadratic formula to the beat of frosty the snowman. Definitely watch some videos on all of the features desmos has because it can really come in handy. Another tip is even if you don't know how to solve something, try to use logic to rule out answers it couldn't be, this doesn't work for all questions, but it can definitely help on some. Spread out your studying so you don't overwhelm yourself. You got this!
