Watching before August SAT! All of these tips sound so smart and make so much sense. You're literally a lifesaver, Laura, thank you so much! (Will so be rewatching this atleast 3 times...)
I would like to share my story. I started watching your videos at the start of the year. I am from Ecuador. On the practice tests I was getting 1500s. The first time I took it I got 1350. I cried, could not believe it. But I kept going. I just got a 1490 on the digital Sat.. Thank you for everything, I do not even know you but I can tell you are a wonderful person. Besides that, I am 17 and this might sound very weird but you are very cute. ❤
@StrategicTestPrep I got a 1530 730 english and 800 maths Thank-you very much for all your videos and support. I did not take any coaching except watching your videos, which have helped me a lot. Thank-you very very much😊.
i've taken the SAT three times in a row, and I find myself perplexed and disheartened by the scoring algorithm. In the June SAT, my math score was 780, despite having all the blocks filled in my score report. However, in my latest attempt, things took a turn for the worse. With only one block incorrect, I experienced a deduction of 120 marks. I must express my frustration; it's challenging to accept these outcomes after putting in so much effort over these three attempts. The English section presents a similar situation. In the October SAT, I had five blocks wrong, resulting in a deduction of 170 marks. This December, with only three blocks incorrect, I still faced a deduction of around 140 marks. From this comparison, I estimate that each block corresponds to only 15-20 points. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide insights into how the algorithm operates. Addressing and rectifying the numerous flaws in the digital SAT is crucial, particularly for international students like myself who are grappling with the challenges of the system.
Hi! Yes that is frustrating. If you’re looking at a math category that has 15 questions in it, one “block” represents two questions. Plus, there’s the odd question out not counted. My guess is that when you got the 780, you missed one but the blocks were all filled in which is deceiving. As far as missing 2 blocks, that would be 4 questions. If all 4 were hard questions (each hard question is with 30 points), that is 4 x 30 = 120. However, I am not sure how you could have a 120 point deduction only missing one block?!? There are less questions on this test so you have to be perfect or close to it. Your margin for error is slim!!
Well I missed two blocks One for advanced math and one for geometry and trigonometry and I got 120 points deducted So please like how many questions did I get wrong . And I hit my target a little bit on the English section in a month and some weeks. Went up by 90 points from the October SAT (although I wanted a 100 point boost) but it's fine . My math was not as good but still,I improved from my last test. Thank you so much Laura, your videos were super helpful ❤️❤️✨
Please can you explain how the scoring works because the first time I took it I had two blocks wrong and I was deducted 120 points, now I had just one block wrong and was deducted 110 points, it doesn't make any sense

how does this “pronoun trick” work? because i know that in the text the subject may go by a different pronoun (it, they, we, etc.), and if I get only two working, do I have to refine from there?
It doesn’t mean you’re actually finding a specific pronoun in the text. You’re just reading the verb choice with a singular pronoun like “he” or “it” - this determines singular vs plural. Then you pick the tense that’s different from the othersz

Wow!!! Way to go!! 140 points is a HUGE accomplishment! I’m proud of you! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

i had one block missing and lost 110 points, it makes no sense
730 english on december sat (international student here). Hope to get into 1500s for the march one. Thank you very much
bro how did the test go
@@ЛенглерАндрей I got 1430 last time, and I think now I did much better on math and similar in english

@@NneomaIjeoma see my above response. My guess is you missed 4 hard questions worth more points. Can you take it again or was that the last attempt?
@@StrategicTestPrep It was the last attempt
@@StrategicTestPrep Yes that makes sense. I couldn't solve 4 math questions in total. Two on each module,and they were the harder ones.
Please can you explain how the scoring works because the first time I took it I had two blocks wrong and I was deducted 120 points, now I had just one block wrong and was deducted 110 points, it doesn't make any sense
Waiting for my marks coming in 2 days
Keep me posted!!
