Thank you so much for this. I have been preparing for the SAT using prienston review for the past month and a half and with the exam date being 9 days away I have been stuck at 1450-1490 with the reading section being my biggest issue. After watching this video I feel so much more confident and after doing 4 passages on different topics I can say your tips have helped ALOT. I was instructed to avoid reading the full passage and always found my self having issues focusing and engaging with the text though I am an avid reader. You tips on reading the full passage and pretending as though you are reading it aloud to someone else REALLY helped me. Going back and forth from question to question was very difficult for me and the focus just got worse (Ive been formally diagnosed with ADHD) Thank you so much for these tips I feel a lot more confident about my reading than I did before and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. I was stumped on this section for almost every practice test I took.
Hey Hi, Even I was using the Princeton review strategy but this seems like a better one for me, plus I'm stressed about my March Test as I was always worried about my reading section which held me in 1300s. So do you suggest me to follow this strategy?
The way you speak as though you're about to laugh is the most attractive and pleasing thing I ever found in the whole time and it helped alot thank you very much 🥰💕
Subscribed! I think I need most help with reading, I took a practice on khan academy and got more than half questions wrong in that section while in writing I got 8 wrong and for the first math 1 wrong and in the 2nd math section 6 wrong. I got a 1200 for the practice but I’m in 8th grade so lots of room to improve and time to improve. This walkthrough really helps. Please do more!
@@jact8888 eh, I thought so too but my (p)/SAT reading score keeps going down while the math score in consistently high and climbing. It all comes down to the person and practice.
this was so so useful tysm! And I love your energy ahhaha being excited about an SAT passage wouldn’t be my first reaction but I feel like approaching the passage in a more positive way definitely helps with comprehension! Keep up the good work
Thanks so much. I've been partly depressed on how to tackle the Reading aspect on the SAT. Thanks for sparing your time. This is short and we'll detailed.❤️❤️❤️
This is surprisingly helpful. Thank you for making this video. I was puzzled around the time the test was coming up and didn't know what exactly was on the test and how to approach it; but now, with a little bit grasp of it, I can confidently score well on the literature passage.
Really appreciate this video, I always do bad on the reading part because I have no strategy, I think I might use your strategy to see if it works for me. Thank you so much for sharing ur tips and tricks
I also learnt how important it is to know the meanings of words. Vocabulary is very important to succeeding on the SAT Reading Aspect. I wish everyone success on the SAT.
I love your channel. Thanks so much for this. For someone who has trouble getting through the whole passage on time and answering all the questions, would it still be smart to read the entire passage and then answer the questions or answers the questions as you read the passage? Thanks again!
It might help to answer the questions as you read if you run out of time, as long as you can find the textual evidence as you're answering each one! I kind of answer them as I go too (but it's kinda hard to demonstrate that in the walkthrough)
Sorry-that’s got to be pretty rough then. I think it’ll be a matter of practice, both with SAT and non-SAT English content, that could help you get faster. Good luck!
Where would you say is the best place to look/ website to use for an international student to brush up their reading and writing skills to go from a mid to high 600s to mid to high 700s? Your videos are amazing btw!
For grammar, I keep recommending this website to people because I think it does a good job at covering all of the basics: magoosh.com/hs/sat/sat-grammar-rules/ Reading is a little trickier since it's a bit more subjective...so the only thing I can really recommend is doing practice with Khan Academy or Prepscholar if you're willing to pay money The biggest thing tho is to practice, practice, practice with the real released College Board tests! :D
do you read at the same pace when your passage is timed? and do you think I could go from 1190 to 1450 from now till march? I really have to or I won't get the scholarship but I also have MANY homework and school's assignment :( I'm lost
I read a little faster in my head for the SAT passages (maybe double speed of this video) but slow enough that I can still comprehend it like a story. I think that's a completely doable goal--even 10-30 minutes a day of practice on your most troublesome sections/topics until March will make a huge difference. Good luck! :D
Do you have any tips on answering the questions faster? It's extremely hard to pay attention to detail in passages while trying to answer questions accurately, paying attention to the writing style, etc.
It helps to familiarize yourself with the types of questions that get asked by doing lots of practice--that way you can figure out what the question is asking just with one quick look, but it is tricky! Also the more you comprehend while reading/the deeper you read the passage, the easier it gets to point back to exact bits of evidence that help answer the questions fast
Anna,Anna. I really enjoyed your video,you are so cute and lovely!🥰 I am really worrying about my SAT reading part,I think I can only get about 650 in this part which stops me from getting 1500. I did very well in Scientific reading (probably not that well:( ) because I know there is a DEFINITE answer despite all those nasty terms. However,the History and Literature passages are really killing me! When I was reading those passages, I totally lost myself in the long and hard-comprehensible sentences and literally cannot get what it is actually talking about. Do you got any advice for me please?😭
I would recommend reading harder material in your free time so that the history and literature sections seem easier by comparison! Reading the intros also help a bit in giving yourself a framework to understand the summary of what the passage is saying--hope this helps!
I’m gonna be working a lot more on this channel and helping Stemtric (the start up I work at) finally get off the ground! But mainly just chilling/hanging out with friends/enjoying one last non-stressful summer before college :))
@@annas-universe Sounds great! I have to make good use of the summer before Senior to self-study some APs. Enjoy your summer and I will keep following your channel!
Just wanted to ask are khan academy level 4 reading passages harder than the actual sat? Because i scored much better in sat practice test than khan academy's reading passages. i wonder if the sat test was easy or khan academy reading passages are way too difficult.
How do you manage time? I don’t think you would normally go through questions this slowly on the real one lolol. I really struggle with time management and I would appreciate some strategies (and also exhaustion after reading the passages) xx
I split up my time about 50-50 reading the passage and answering questions, and I think I kinda combine the two (answering the questions I can as I go) which is sorta hard to demonstrate gracefully in real time lol. I do the same method of eliminating all the wrong answers but much faster since I don't have to explain it out loud/completely. Practicing more full-length tests will help you with time management and exhaustion, since it's all about building your stamina up! Good luck :D
Dear Anna. Can you make a walkthrough video like this. However, can you do it like how you would do in a real test. You are not going to talk, accept for intro outro, you are not going to timelapse the period when you circling the quote and prepare at the start. This way I could really know how you actually apply the technique you said, and to really know how you do time management on the real test. In short, just a short video of you time yourself like in the real test, and do what you do in a real test. It could be the whole reading section or just for one passage. The video on youtube are like this, talking explaining and guide us through. However, I haven't seen a video that help me to apply those technique they teach in to real practice and how to would really do it. I am going to have SAT on March 3rd so hopefully you read this and could help me soon. Just 1 video like that and the others could be like this. Thank you for your video.
This is quite different from the approach I use, I typically skim the passage in 3-4 mins (without looking at the questions) then refer back to the passage often to answer all the questions. I got quite good at this approach (finish a passage in 11-12 mins with only 1/2 wrong) but I want to still improve my score. Would you recommend learning your method or keep practicing mine? What would you say is more beneficial to me in the long run?
If you're curious about my method/think it might work for you, maybe try it for a practice test or two and see if there's any difference in your score. That way, if it helps--awesome!--and if it's worse than your current approach, you don't have to waste too much time/stick with it. Also, for the sake of keeping this video straight-forward, I did the questions all at once after reading the passage, but usually I think I answer some of them as I'm reading, too.
@@annas-universe thanks that makes sense. I’ll try it out. Btw your video series is really helpful, made me go from a 1440 to a 1520! I also want to try and score perfect on the SAT by March!
your daily double method IS A LIFE SAVER
This is so helpful especially since the March SAT date is approaching very quickly. Thank you!!
how much did you score?
We need your score!!!!

Thank you for this video. You are litteraly the only person who I could watch in full without feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Great job🌻

Me too.

Thank you so much; I plan on it! It's awesome you're starting your prep so early--good for you :D
idk if its a good idea to start so early, as your brain develops your reading comprehension will greatly improve, trust me.
and ignore my grammar lol
@@jact8888 eh, I thought so too but my (p)/SAT reading score keeps going down while the math score in consistently high and climbing. It all comes down to the person and practice.

The key to solve almost all questions right in reading is only with FOCUS. We should Get into the Flow state of mind on these timed readings.👌❤
Probably the most useful video I've found on the subject!!!
you make it look so easy omg
My SAT is on 13th of March. I wish I could have found your channel earlier. It’s just so good. Ever considered replacing Khan Academy 😂😜
She sited like a monk and said the wisdom words. My queen 👑
You make it look so much easier, thanks
Thank You, Anna, today's Sat got very well using your tricks.
keep going
Your videos are very detailed and highly helpful and easy to understand. Keep it rocking!!
Thank you so much, Anna!
Just Awesome!!

I'm sure it will help a lot of people.

Thank you so much Anna for this. You made the most difficult section easy peazy. I can't thankyou enough
I live for how you read!
I also learnt how important it is to know the meanings of words. Vocabulary is very important to succeeding on the SAT Reading Aspect.
I wish everyone success on the SAT.
Thanks a lot. After watching your other videos i was really going to ask you to do this. THANKS 😊
i love your work

This was really helpful!! Please do more of these. Thank you:)

Thank you so much Anna!
Your videos are so helpful!!
LMAO I also read mediation as meditation and couldn't understand it till you pronounced it.
LUV IT... please do more!!! 🙏🏼
really really helpful video. Among the best on youtube !!
When you said you misread mediation as meditation, I also did the same when I first took the practice test😭
I love your channel. Thanks so much for this. For someone who has trouble getting through the whole passage on time and answering all the questions, would it still be smart to read the entire passage and then answer the questions or answers the questions as you read the passage? Thanks again!

How much time does it take you usually?
Btw love the way you explain.
hey you are amazing, please make videos for the remaining passages
Extremely helpful, thanks a lot
Downloaded the whole playlist Thanksssssssssssssssssssssss
These vids help so much!! tysm for making them queen!
Thank you! That was really helpful!
This is so good! Thanks a lot!!!
The thing is.. I'm not a native English speaker so understanding all the vocabs and reading fast is sort of hard to me:(
Sorry-that’s got to be pretty rough then. I think it’ll be a matter of practice, both with SAT and non-SAT English content, that could help you get faster. Good luck!
😔
Nice video ,keep up ur good work ,it helps a lot
This was so helpful!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you! looking forward to more of this stuff! :)

Do you have more tips for the reading section..as I'm appearing in the march attempt 2021 and I'm scoring pretty low on it.
I have another whole video on the reading section if you'd like to check that out! Good luck :)
I wish you make video about the historical passage
I definitely will soon :)

Thankks!
For sure! Thanks for watching :)
THANK GOD
Hi! I have a question... are you allowed to circle and underline the passage in the actual SAT?
Yep! You'll get a packet with the questions and a scantron packet, and you're allowed to write all over the question packet however you want :D

I made the exact same mistake on mediation as you hahah that’s unfortunate
MUCHAS GRACIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
O ho, I did the same!! I also misread mediation as "meditation"😅 and ended up choosing 'Frankly' thus got wrong.
I have my SAT on 8th May
Just wanted to ask are khan academy level 4 reading passages harder than the actual sat? Because i scored much better in sat practice test than khan academy's reading passages. i wonder if the sat test was easy or khan academy reading passages are way too difficult.
OMG ANNA THANK YOUU
Hey Anna, I hope you are doing well. I am wondering how fast should I read the passage after I went through the questions? Thank you so much
I would recommend taking around 8-10 minutes for an entire passage start to finish, so reading as fast as it takes to complete them in that time!
@@annas-universe thank you anna!
i need your help! where can i contact you?
Do you circle quotes for all passages?
Yep! Basically any time a "daily double" question comes up at the very least
June 4th Sat Takers, rally here!
I know there's comments saying make but pleaseeeee make more
I'm working on the next part rn :D
