Title is self explanatory. Managed to crack pretty much a perfect score on reading but i struggle with math and I hate it. Specifically anything that involves multiple variables. Im trying khan academy rn but i feel scared and hopeless abt it.
Digital test is tomorrow.

Hello,
I’m curious about the turnaround time for receiving digital SAT test results. My child will be taking the SAT in April for the first time, and I’m wondering when we can expect to receive the results. If the outcome is not as desired, I plan to register them for the June 1st SAT. However, if the April results are favorable, I intend to cancel the June 1st SAT registration. Could anyone provide insight into whether we’ll receive the April SAT results before June? Thank you!

I thought it might be useful for students and parents to share thoughts on the new SAT. (I will update this after students take the test in March.)
Having taken all official College Board tests a number of times, I believe I have a handle on key strategies for the verbal sections. My colleagues who tutor math feel that the math modules are generally easier than on the former test, but please share math tips as I have none, sorry!

Bottom line: The new SAT is a TikTok of a test, just snippets of language. They knew their market, that’s fo ..read more

Any thoughts on why a kid that is 2 years ahead in math (AP Calc AB as a Jr) would get a 690 on the Math portion of the SAT? Granted he did not study as he took it to get a baseline, but it was still disappointing. He’s hoping for a 1500 (got a 1420). And is it even realistic to think he could raise that score 80 points???

Hi,
I took the Dec 2 SAT, while many of my friends have already got their scores. I’m so struggling and worried right now for it has now been 2 days more than the normal release day, and the score is still now coming out. Also, My SAT dashboard is still showing it as an “upcoming test.”
Just want to ask if anyone is also under this situation right now? And can anybody help me with if I’m in trouble or not?
Thank you

Hey everyone. I’m doing the December SAT which is next week and aiming for a 1550+. I took a practice today and got a 1520 (780 M, 740 RW) . Are there any tips to raise my score by 30+ points fast in one week?

I’m a junior in high school in the AICE program and want to aim for competitive schools (my main choice being MIT). I’m on the right path with my ECs(5 clubs including robotics and an internship) and grades (4.0 unweighted 4.58 weighted), but my SAT score is lacking, extremely. I got a 1250 when i took it in June after studying for 3 months and my goal was at least 1480. How do you suggest I raise the score before I take it again in March? I studied using KhanAcademy when i took it in June.

High school senior with a question, sorry if any repetitions. Hoping to get some help and thanks for your time.
Can anyone with experience share insight on multiple SAT attempts. Do colleges have the ability to see the number of attempts on SAT and also the scores on each or can I limit to the best of all?
What are the repercussions if any of taking 3rd or 4th attempts if in case the score there is not better than prior ones
Is it true that the last or 4th attempt is the deal or the one taken either way?
Any best sources to prepare for the reading improvement in a short time, after having gone ..read more
