i have about 20 days and am currently at a 580 rw, 690 math

i need to get a 1500+ overall. this is my first and last attempt for college.

i am so lost. i am so clueless on how to improve and what steps to exactly take.

​

I am a 12th grader with humanities and i require SAT for the colleges i want to apply to. I have no idea how to prepare for SAT and am completely new to it.

Its october now and i have to prepare for boards along with SAT and IELTS, as for IELTS im well versed with it and have been practicing fot a while. Now that theres almost no time for boards will it even be possible? Will i have to take a drop year? Im really damn scared

Please help me out any advice would be great, thanks in advance. My_qualifications 12 grader

So score are releasing in 2 days. How do y’all feel about this? And what score u think yalll gonna get?

Me personally, I’ll think I’ll get a 1300.

Everyone on this subreddit seems to do extremely well in their SAT.Usually I always see posts about 1400+ and rarely any lower.This may have significantly inflated our ideas of a good SAT score.When I got my 1460 I thought I did very badly because every other post on the subreddit was a 1550+ and the ones getting 1450's were the ones complaining that their test scores were lower than practice tests.This made me feel ashamed to even post about my 1460.But the national average is actually 1045 anything above a 1100 can be considered above average.The reason this subreddit seems so different is because the ones who bother to be a part of this community are the ones who care more and prepare more for the SAT.The average person here probably scores much higher than an average person around the world.So do not let this subreddit make your score feel insignificant.anything over a 1350 is over the 90th percentile and should be classified as a great score.

I just wanted to say, best of luck to everyone who is receiving their October scores tomorrow. You should be proud of yourself for taking the test.

If you’re a junior, I hope your score is what you want, and remember that you still have time to retake it. If you’re unhappy with your score, you have plenty of time to study the sections you struggled with and improve.

If you’re a senior and this was your last chance, I hope that you are happy with the outcome. If not, remember that you are worth more than a standardized test. Your entire application for college isn’t dependent on this score, even if it feels like it is. You could technically retake in November, but if this was your last chance, you should be proud of yourself for escaping the SAT cycle and being done with all of this. Regardless of what it ends up being, you should know that you will end up exactly where you’re supposed to be for college (if you plan to go) and one test won’t ruin anything.

You all did it! Congrats, and I hope when you check your scores tomorrow you have something to celebrate. ❤️

helloo
im in year 13 now and something happened so now im forced to do the SAT
my exam is in november and i know NOTHING about the material but i did get an A in my math as levels so thats something
so any tips on how i should start?
what do i focus on
i mostly need a high math mark
what i know so far is that the desmos calculator can help me ALOT so ill be focusing on that
but should i spend more time learning the material or solving?
and are there any notes i should have?
help me please id appreciate it so much

So I got a 1430 for bluebook test number 7 but when I do tests online for eg on one prep, I get scores like 1370,1330,1320. I was wondering if such occurrences are often.

Also which test mimic the real SAT more? Bluebook ones or online ones?

I need at least 1470 on the SAT, yet non of my practice tests are close enough. I already took one gap year and if I fail I will unwillingly be drafted to the army.
Hope my october SAT will turn out to be good. BLESS RNG🙏

My English score is 590 and my math score is 750 and I really want to improve my English score but I don’t know how to
I struggle in the English section because English is not my first language and I have a really bad dyslexia and adhd
I want to get from 590 to 700+
How can I improve my score

I recently took the September SAT scoring a 1440 (640R and 790M), so I decided like what any other person would do. I stacked English and completely neglected math, and after taking the October SAT, I feel like my math was like ~720. When I superscore my English and Math scores, would colleges raise a red flag if they see my Math is considerably lower on a later test after I got a 790M? Or would they view it the same?

(I'm not sure if I explained this correctly; sorry if it's confusing to read)

so im taking the psat/nmsqt tomorrow and i took a practice test and i got a 1330. im a bit concerned that the actual test is gonna be much harder because i took the psat 10 back in spring (i believe??) and i remember it being a lot more difficult. i havent done any standardized testing prep at all, and when i did this practice test just now, i felt like it was much easier (despite the substantial amount of questions i got wrong)

i dont expect to get national merit or anything, but id just like to be as knowledgeable as possible cuz i dont like not knowing things if that makes sense

id like to hear anyones input on this

I’ve never taken the SATs and I’m abit worried I won’t get a high enough score to apply to my dream University.

I have more or less a year until my applications are due and was hoping to get around a 1400 although the application requirements are 1300.

I was wondering how many times I should expect to take the SATs to get my ideal score and how much should I expect to score my first time?

Hi!

I'm currently a junior and I've been pushing off studying for the SAT for quite a bit now. I grinded during the summer but I've had horrible timing when I wanted to take the SAT because I have competitions right near both the October and November SATs. I really want to take my first one in December because my school offers one in March, but I know that it will be really hectic that time.

A lot of my senior friends are just spamming ACTs and SATs right before college apps this year and I really don't want that to happen to me, because I get incredibly anxious with deadlines and everything. I would greatly appreciate any advice, I think I have a solid foundation but I really just need some words from people who were able to juggle studying during the school year.

Thank you!!

Reported him (and so did other people apparently); he was also talking abt mcdonalds icecream during math module 2 😭

OG post:

I got a 1180 on the August 2026 sat, 600 math and 580 English and now after practicing a bit on October 13 I did a practice day on psychsat and got a 1340. What changed cause I studied since then but like only like 10 min daily.

all of tomorrow after getting our dream scores and getting into our dream college type shit 🎉🎉

Hey, I’m a high school senior and an international student preparing for the SAT.

I was pretty chill about the test because I had decided to take a gap year lol. My parents were okay with my decision, but now, all of a sudden, they’ve changed their minds, and they’re asking me to take the SAT in November and December.

Ngl, my starting score was around 1110 (600 Math and 510 Reading and Writing, I think). After putting in some serious work on Khan Academy, Bluebook, One Prep, etc., I’ve managed to get up to a 1450!

My Math score is going pretty well now, usually around 750, but Reading and Writing is still my weak point, especially the longer passages. I usually run out of time during Module 2, which really hurts my score.

I’m aiming for at least a 1530. Is that realistic, considering my current score and the time I have left before the November SAT?

For those who’ve been in a similar situation, what strategies, resources, or tips helped you improve your Reading and Writing score, especially with time management?

I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

My current SAT score is around 950 (Math: 590, Reading and Writing: 360)
Do you think it’s possible to reach 1350+ in 2 months? I’m willing to study hard every day
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think I got maybe 8 questions wrong in the whole test. Maybe 9 but I highly doubt it. But I also got 8 questions wrong on Practice test 7 and still got a 1530 so I don't know if i should be hopeful or not. I know I aced math module 1. And at most I got 4 questions wrong in module 2 although I might have guessed one or 2 correctly. Then in module 2 I guessed the answers on like 3 or 4 questions I can't remember honestly. I'm just really unsure
