Sorry but if someone gets a 1550 and tells me “they could do better” I’ll never talk to them again.

My man has been taking SATs for 3 years

Took it once, 1500, and promised myself to never do it again.

He really have a lot of money To spend

My brother (going to dartmouth and rejected a 100k scholarship from rice) cried for a week after getting a 1560 and retook and got 1600.

For all of you stressing about the SAT here is a quick guide for most of the sections. This mainly applies to individuals already scoring above 1400, but can probably be of help to anyone. For the history reading section read a lot of passages relating to women's rights, voting rights, and slavery. For the other sections try to read about current events that are important. For the science section you only need to know how to parse information, but knowing general knowledge about a broad range of topics is beneficial. For the grammar section learn grammar rules until you can get above a 340/400 for this section. This should only take a couple hours. To try to work your way up to a 400/400 for the section focus on reading badly translated works, or go on a webpage in another language, translate it to English, and read through it while trying to fix all the errors in your head. This should drastically increase your intuition towards grammar and will increase speed. Try to be able to figure out which of the answer choices is correct solely based on how it sounds in your head, and only use the grammar rules when you are unsure. For math the exam is absurdly easy. I would probably recommend just reviewing a bit of high school math. Also try to focus on not making mistakes, as there is ample time on the math section, and most people I know mess up on the math section due to some minor errors they made out of carelessness. Overall, try to get the foundational knowledge, but anything above a 1560 does require a slight amount of luck. Anything above a 1580 is pretty much luck so don't try to retake your exams once you get to this point (unless you just want to get that perfect score for fun). These strategies are extremely effective. Of course take 1-2 practice tests before the exam to get used to questions. I personally got a 1580 in around 12 hours of studying and many of my friends have gotten above 1550 within 40-50 hours of studying. If you have any questions just reply to this comment and I will respond to as many people as I can.

I’m finna get his 9th grade score when I’m a junior 😭😭😭 Update: we good I got a 1390

Watching this when I’m left with 9 hours...interesting

The SAT exam is really frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so hard. 😢😢

My man spent more for the SAT than what my parents ever spent for my education bruh

The one question you didn’t get is giving ‘kills 99.9% of germs’ vibes

Bro got 1350 in tenth grade from taking geometry I took geometry in ninth and got a 1120 in tenth Grade

Bro taking the PSAT 5 times is crazy

Me going into senior year with a 1220 💀. Taking ACT on September 10 wish me luck 😭

Respect you for your perseverance!

I got a 1520 my senior year of high school (2014). Graduated went to community college for “process operations” for a year then realized it’s about who you know VS what you know. Furthermore, I said fuck it and went to trade school (Pipefitter) and saved time from college and debt free locally. Making over 100,000 yearly now owning 2 semi rigs LIFE IS ALL ABOUT INVESTMENTS AND TIME (use them wisely)

“Knew I could do better” 💀 these people I swear-

Sooo I got a 1090 on my first try at the SAT…I’m gonna try again.😭

Bro I just want 1200 😭

I would be satisfied if I had a 1250 total

I'm aiming for a 1450+, will update my score for the December and March SATs. Edit: March DSAT: 740 English June DSAT: 760 Math SUPERSCORE: 1500 Grateful and I don't need anything higher. I'll now focus on extracurriculars, friends, and a job on the weekends.

So sir, we need tips and advices.

Bro does the sat like it’s a game ☠️

All this shows is that the SAT isn’t about how smart you are, it’s about putting in the time to get the results you want.

My first psat score was a 1200, and then I moved up to a 1420

nah these typa ppl piss me off

Your parents must be really proud of you! Good job!

i took my sat for the first time last month, and today, in just a few hours, my results are gonna be released. During the test I've gotten a bit nervous, kinda messed up the reading section. Therefore, I'm already thinking about taking it again. I hope I don't need to.

*Anyone else randomly just started watching shorts and now it’s just a everyday thing?*

Could you make a video on what you did to prepare? What test taking skills did you use? Which practice tests? How did you study?

Great job bro, we r proud of you

Oh wait I was like 1550! What a great improvement than 1590 I really wanna be you in SAT.

I took it for the first time in August and got 1500 and am thinking of retaking it next year

this is exteremely motivating thank you

Man I have gotten a 1020 three times in the past 3 years! I have been studying, I have improved in the years since I was a 9th grader, but I just cannot stop doing poorly.

Note to people that are still in Highschool, SAT scores and GPA only matters if you wanna get into a really good college, only the first degree-related job will actually look at your College GPA, and they might not even care, after that they couldnt give 2 craps, they just care about experience and good references.

my sophomore one was 1190, junior psat was 1400 and actual sat was 1510 so I'm satisfied enough

yeah u had like 3 years ....

I got 1580 the first time i took it. I took it on June 3 2023 and just received the result 3 days ago.

You got 1180 the day I turned 19 and dropped out to start working… which is why I’m here today at 24, 25 next month

I can’t imagine caring about college this much to spend all of high school on it.

Wow!! Nice job on the SAT

The only reason I’m not doing great on mine is because I’m frankly way too slow. I get the questions right, but I always run out of time and have to guess the rest.

800+800= 1590... got it

Bro I feel so dumb. You get so many chances but I wasted all of them. I should’ve studied and sat would’ve been so easy.

looking at all of yall own , then mine is really bad but huge improvement since i watched your videos and also had other exams going on so didnt really get to practice much coming closer to the SAT. The first time I got a 950 but the second time with your vids and a lil more practice i got 1140. pretty proud of the improvement sad its still low.

Got a 1230 psat, a 1290 psat, 1390 sat and then 32 act (basically a 1450). I didn’t study that much for any of them, and none was done with tutoring. I wish I would’ve had the resources and time to know everything all the high performers know abt this test. It’s not a “hard test” but it’s a trick questions test. But other than college admissions, at most schools the score cap for scholarships is like 1380 so anything above that is typically not needed.

Yeah no I got 1450 in 2 tries and called it a day. I like having decent mental health

That’s so many marks

I'm just going for a 1200 and make up for it with extracurricular stuff. I don't have time to study for it and don't want to collapes mentally.

Awesome😊

Wow it is so much improvement! I have a similar score path with you haha hope I can get the 1550 finally

Congratulations

Watching from the UK, yes, this is coherent.

some of us only get one chance and no help (i am crying inside)

im gonna be taking the digital sat as an international in 6 days, never practiced for it but I'm running a few practice tests now. wish me luck lol

In 11th and Im at 980😢. Bit I am studying for this years

if I pass with a good score once! u won't see me taking it again lmaoooo

I took one PSAT and one SAT. I didn’t study and got a 1480. It’s an easy test G

And then theres my brother who got 1600 first try 😭

I just took the practice PSAT and got a 1130, hopefully I do better when the test comes Edit: my score is on scale to 1600

Everyone is gangsta until asians enter the chat.

Finished highschool with a 1350 and most, if not all, universities did not require the SAT; That includes elite institutions such as Harvard and Stanford as well as the University of California system, which has dropped the test as an admission requirement permanently. For SAT critics, test-optional admission at colleges and universities took far too long to become prevalent. The test has been accused of putting students from underrepresented communities of color at a disadvantage for years. So overall, don't stress about it, it's not that big of a deal. If you want to get accepted focus on maintaining your GPA as well as participating in extracurriculars.

I got an 880 on the 9th grade psat Then 980 in 10th 1070 on 11th nmsqt 1150 on 1st sat 1280 2nd 1300 super score to 1340 And last one 1330 superscore to 1370 My goal was 1400 and I could’ve sworn I got a 760+ on math which would’ve gotten me a 1400 but I got a 730 😢

I got a 2100 on the SAT last month and am thinking of retaking it this summer

You did algebra in 9th? And geometry in 10th? Damn I did Analysis in 9th and AP Calc BC in 10th when I was in high school. That’s crazy bro.

I only took the past once, got a 1020, im taking another tomorrow and I didn’t study soo hopefully luck is on my side

As a person who got a 1410 on the SAT, the SAT should be removed as the international testing system for higher grade students A Math 770 in Asia is ~50th percentile range. With China being in the 58th percentile, 48th in Korea, and the 45th in Vietnam. This means the SAT has became a low standard through Asia. The GaoKao test in China or JIT Exam in India are much more competitive, as almost no one has been able to perfect these two exams This would force countries to develop their education system and would have the world avg IQ skyrocket.

That’s awesome

Bros whole life is the SAT which doesn’t even matter for like half of colleges

Seriously tho, people like to overdue the hell outta the SAT. It is not AT ALL the terrifying test people make it out to be. The only thing I really recommend is actually paying attention in class, especially Math, and taking PSAT's and SAT Practice Tests. They really help yyou get an overall feel for it and gives a mmore comforting feel when taking it, which this video proves perfectly

I got a 1235 on my practice test and was really hoping to take the October test. What do you guys think about working towards 1550+ in 13 days?

Question for anyone who could help me out: If I’m taking the PSAT in the fall but also the SAT this same year when should I study for the PSAT if I want to be a national merit scholar yet also score well on the SAT?

I've basically stayed stagnant with my 3 test. Well, I only took it in Junior year.

i got a 1230 on the PSAT earlier this year without studying, next year when i take it again i might actually study and see how good i can do 🤷‍♀️

Anything past like 1550 is basically luck of the draw on the questions presented the main difference between 1580 and 1600

Bro is khan academy a good resource for SAT????????

My psat was 700 something 💀 But ima check it later since i just took one today

The idea of studying to intentionally score higher on an aptitude test that measures your intrinsic ability to learn, never sat right with me.

I got 1110, didn't go to college, and now make a cool $11 an hour at a blue collar job 😎

This is why colleges stopped caring about SAT scores... when a person is able to pay for 15 SAT tests the tests stop measuring how good they are at the topics and start measuring how good they are at taking the test... that's like 900$ for a good SAT score

I got a 880 last year and it was my first one, this Saturday I’m going to take the second one on my senior year, and I hope to reach more than 1000, but I feel like I’ve improved a lot since last year but I keep not meeting expectations on my practice test, so I’m a bit scared not gonna lie.

Dude you’re insane. How did it feel taking it for four years

yeah dawg i got a 1410 junior year and was beyond done

i got a 1360 and im planning to retake it to get something higher, gonna study even more. i got a good score for the math section but i kinda suck at english so i need to do more reading i guess.

I have 3 month untill my SAT I want to reach 1500+ but I have perfect math, upper intermediate english and I have no experience in sat, because I am international student and passing SAT for the first time

I just took the psat in October freshman year and I got a 1190 without studying. I definitely messed up on the math part tho because I took algebra 1, 2 and geometry in middle school and I couldn’t remember nothing lol. Sophomore year I’m gonna study and try to raise it up

Nice that is insane

His worst score was a 24 (ACT score)

i couldn't rebook because of limited funds and the places got booked out half a year in advance when I did😐

Congrats on getting almost perfect on a test that doesn’t matter!

Australian here, wait you guys can just take the SAT as many times as you want???

My score history so far looks a lot like this maybe I have hope

In my freshman year my school did not let us know ahead of time about our psat and gathered all the freshman separately in the gym💀 I got so nervous and lost that I skipped hella questions and started panicking during the test. Ended up with like 800 smth (somewhere near 900). I never wanna experience that again😭

i only did the psat once, got a 1160, when i did the real thing i got a 1480 (800 math, 680 english), i did basically no prep

how did you study... pleasee teach us your ways

I got 97th percentile for my overall PSAT and 99th percentile for reading

I got a 1300 and I took it once. I‘m retaking it again though.

bro no wonder i did so bad i took is legit 2 times, fresh spring and jr year for the sat

wait do freshmen have to take a pre sat or can we wait u till 10th? or do we jus do the pre act?
