An adaptive standardized test is the dumbest thing ever

genuinely, this is hands down the BEST video i've EVER come across on SAT period. thank you.

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

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!

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 :)

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.

Phenomenal, huge confidence boost

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER !!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE ❤❤

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!

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

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

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

U made my stress go away 😭❤️ thankyou

This was so eye-opening and entertaining, Sir!

I love desmos so much and i am so happy they added it

The most understandable video ever. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for the stats part, had no idea about it

Bro low key thank you for teaching me that Desmos had median and mean, that low key might help me out a bit fr

This changed my life. Thank you.

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

This DSAT info is actually interesting. Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you. I am 58 years old and want to sit again. Math is awesome!!

Thanks a lot! This info is very useful for me.

Omgsh thanks for this video, it’s so helpful.

Did not know about the Desmos calculator thx dude😅

Great tips and comments, thanks!

omg thank you lotssss this was soo helpful

Great video man!👍

Hey LearnSATMath, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for sharing this video! As a student preparing for the SAT, it's always helpful to stay up to date with the latest format and features on the calculator. Your content is truly appreciated! Keep up the great work. #SATPrep

Thank you so much for this!!

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

thx man, also crazy diamond jumpscare 😭😭

Great Video! Thanks for the news :))

Thank you for the video.

nah that mean and median thing lowkey helped bro tthanks😂

Thanks so much man!

I love the editing

i’ve recently started doing SAT as opposed to what my country usually does since i’m better at English than other languages and i did a test run for it not too long ago the joy i felt when i saw that the “calculator” that’s given to you is DESMOS i almost freaked out

IM TAKING IT TMRWWWWW

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.

Great intro; made me like

ok now i need a video on how to use desmos to our advantage

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

thats great to know!

we are SO fucking back

1 hour before SAT, time to watch the guide

Was testing fodder for the practice psat (not mad they gave 50$ for it) The test felt a lot more laid back and less stressful

idk how I just found this video, but I'm taking the SAT this friday (the 15th of March, 2024) and I'm only slightly anxious now. Thank you

you better keep this info under cover bro, I dont want my next year sat to get harder 😭

Thanks king 🇮🇪

collegeboard after seeing this: 👁👄👁

Omg you saved my life🥺🥺🥺 I'm from Brazil so it's not common to take SAT test. This test have the power to change my life with scores, and the possibility to leave my country and toxic family in 2025. Thank you!!! Khan academy helps a lot, but that information helped me a lot too. Now I feel more confident. I've been stressed about extracurricular activities for my application, I decided to write a book and publish in my country. But i need this scores to be perfect (I'm ambitious). (English it's not my first language, i learn all on my own. Sorry if there's mistakes, I'm still learning grammar😅)

can you do an indepth digital sat test study guide

I don't understand how the slider in the desmos calc helps you choose the correct constant? Can you explain it further? (Time stamp 6:08)

Would this be the same for the PSAT?

i have been using desmos for the last 4 years and had no idea bout the mean calculator T^T thanks for the very helpful video!! as a freshman who has already started SAT practice it was a life saver. (DESMOS FTW!!!)

How do you think colleges will take SAT scores now? Do you think getting a higher score will be something that won’t be as impressive

THATS WAY BETTER

I have a question, what is the software that you used to experiment with the questions?

guys i downlaoded a pdf from college boards website. i will give a dsat but that pdf has like 33 questions in the r&w module and i dont know how to use desmos in that test

This is the most HELPFUL video I have seen by far thanks

Shorter reading passages, less long word problems in math, more time per questions and DESMOS?! I quite like the digital SAT

I am taking the sat on oct 7 in a week or so, will it be digital (short english passages) as described in this video? I read your reply in a comment which stated that digital starts march, however the email I recieved upon paying was "you are now registered for the digital sat".

Psat🤝🥶

When the person came to my high school to teach everyone how to log in to the sat she said we would instantly get our online sat practice scores back so my smartass (knowing the answer) asked if we would get our actual sat scores back immediately. I don’t know if the rest of the class thought it was funny I but sure did!

does this apply to the psat? btw thanks super interesting video!

Will desmos be provided in PSAT?

I still dont like the desmos😂😂.. nice video man!!

Hello sir ! Hope you are doing well. Firstly, thank you so much for helping me in my SAT prep. Yesterday, I took my digital SAT as an international student. My bluebook scores were quite good. I scored 800 two times and a 770 on math on bluebook practice tests. In yesterday's test, the first of English was good. I expect 23+ answers to be correct. The second module was very difficult. Standard conventions, transitions, rhetorical synthesis, and vocab questions went well, but the core reading questions like inferences, central ideas and details and command of evidence were not that good. I mean there was an element of guessing while I was answering them. The first module of my math was perfect. I finished it 9 minutes earlier and rechecked all the questions. Again, the second module of math was comparatively difficult and I think 17+ answers were correct. How much score should I expect given the context and that my average score was 1460 on bluebook practice tests?

wait, I was genuinely entertained from an SAT video?? *Tim Allen sound*

i just took the psat without knowing this😭😭😭

Is it compulsory to use calculator

So, math section is all about how well can we use desmos?

I have to take the test for a college i picked i picked the paper sat because i am homeschooled i don't have a device

Anyone taking the May 4th

Why does this have to come out my junior year almost all previous knowledge of say prep is useless but my junior year they had to change it up

I assume the digital PSAT/NMSQT will be like the digital sat?

Where was this last year for me

Ok so I am a high school junior right now as of September 25, 2023. I am going to be taking the SAT in early 2024 maybe around March or so if I had to guess. Will my exam be digital or on paper because im worried im going to be preparing for the digital to get smacked in the face with the paper test on test day.

Here's a free playlist with some foundational strategy for the Digital SAT kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j82ceNJ5nsWaZ40.html&ab_channel=TheWayofTheTest

5:14

we still have the essay thats why it takes days 😭

Rare collegeboard W?

it’ll take days to get your score back because they still need to calculate the curve

I didnt understand so every one can get 800 with desmos????

I want to apply for the SAT, I am angolan and I live in Angola, but I don't speak English fluently

is it difficult

1:44 Obviously the answer is D.) yeah

seniors taking the last paper sats : ._.

are they allow to take scientific calculator to the exam room , teacher?

hypothetically if i studied for this like it was still the paper sat and now only have a day left to look for online practice tests where am i on a scale of screwed to over prepared..😭

OMG I DIDN’T KNOW U CAN DO LIKE 60 PERCENT OF THE VIDEO WITH THAT CALCULATOR 😭😭😭

THE SCORE COMES OUT AFTER ONLY A FEW DAYS?????? wait does anyone know how much exactly bc WOAH thats an improvement 😭😭

I’d rather do it on paper 😭

im taking my digital test on nov. 4 T-T pray for me plsss

I guess the reason you don't get your results back immediately is that everyone in the world need to take the test before the cuts for the different grades are determined (it's supposed to be adaptive, after all). This still should take no more the a day or two.

Wtfff i had no idea it had a mean medain calculate feature

WHAT?!? OMG
