Where to get admission ticket 🤔
Where can i buy a laptop power bank
4:15 Just wanted to point that the Desmos tool works pretty well and faster with many various questions, for example : Circle equations, quadratic functions or even slope intercept forms. And it unbelievably saves much time and effort. Thanks for the video!
That's good to know! I think it can definitely be useful for some situations and I wouldn't rule it out entirely. I'm definitely not the math expert so I would encourage you to experiment and see what works best for you!
I was about to say this exact same thing. But IMO, desmos is better than a dedicated calculator. Much more convenient to have the calculator on screen. And there are also keyboard shortcuts you can use. Watch LearnSATMath's video on this if you are interested.
can you briefly tell how much helpful desmos is ?
Are you serious?
I admire people who help others with their dedication and passion. I see the passion to help us (students) beat the newt digital SAT. Your material and tips are tremendously helpful. Thank you sir !
Thank you so much! Honestly, I know it's really stressful for a lot of people right now, and we're in a difficult situation. So anything I can do to help is worth it. You're more than welcome.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor thank you
I am really grateful, you explained everything so enthusiastically that I just feel more than ready to give the SAT.
that was interestingly perfect timing. You’re quite entertaining which is why I stayed for 3 minutes but I already took my SATs 😅 sooo
Haha that is a very valid argument! If you're already done then I don't blame you for wanting to bail
I was not bored . Thanks for the video
I am glad you weren't bored, that's like the minimum that I aim for lol so mission accomplished
wth lol this is useful information how can u implement the word bored or not bored
Ur the GOAT I hope u know that lolz. Entertaining and also giving us important knowledge for FREE. I can’t thank u enough! ❤
That means a lot! Thank you! Honestly I just want people to crush this test, I know it's crazy right now with a new format and barely any material. Good luck and let me know how it goes when you get your results!
🌱
Really appreciate your efforts 😄
3:24 Btw, I always watch your videos to the end. Love your content ❤️
That means a lot and I appreciate *your* efforts!
I watched your video to the end and I enjoyed it. Very educating, thank you.
Thanks for checking it out! Appreciate you
Can you please make videos on transitions, punctuations, sentence function, inference questions and supporting and undermining claims questions?
I was thinking about doing a series of shorter videos about each kind of question, I might be able to work on that for the May SAT
@@score-yourcollegecounselor okay
@@score-yourcollegecounselor Please. It will be really helpful for us, we also want a video on what makes an answer wrong and what makes it right, and this should be uploaded fast.
How to get a admission ticket for digital SAT?
5 days before the test, when you log into Bluebook you'll see an option to get your admission ticket. I showed that in this video!
Thanks! really enjoy the way you explain things!
checked out your extra material and it's VERY beneficial! thank you sm! Also, may I ask for the answer key of the SAT Math Workbook bec I cant seem to find it and I really need the answers to the problem solving and data analysis section
I just uploaded a version of the Textbook with the questions resolved showing each step of the process. For the workbook, there is a folder with screenshots showing many of the questions resolved as well.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor thankk u smm I'm very grateful
Are we going to need an internet connection and if so will that be provided by the test center or do we have to use our own mobile hotspot or something?
They must provide wi-fi at the test center, so you do not have to bring a hotspot. They will set that up for you when you arrive. Great question!
@@score-yourcollegecounselor thank you very much for the clear and fast reply sir
I just put like on the video because of the line which got me 'You wanna get some sharpener ASMR??' HAHAHAHA
It was surprisingly satisfying to edit that part too, crunchy sharpener ASMR I should start a new channel
Can you please explain the format of digital sat .like how many questions how many sections ,time everything that i need to know before the exam .my exam is on 7th of October
I already did in my live series! I streamed 7 full classes for the English section of the test to explain everything on it, how it looks, and the different types of questions. In the first class I break all that down. You can check it out here. th-cam.com/users/liveC4WunTuhhWw?feature=share
yikes, interesting data you got there.
Great informative video. Stayed till the end too. Have you picked anyone for the class? Would love to participate. 💙
We did already choose two and streamed the first class on Monday. We are also uploading the new recordings for math in our folder though so you can follow along! Next time we do another group I may do another giveaway
@@score-yourcollegecounselor thanks for the reply. Looking forward it it. 😊
sir can you tell how to access the answers of question given in google drive
Download the PDFs and you can use the button, it doesn't work if you just view them in drive
Can i use huawei or xiaomi tablet for DSAT?!
Does it run windows or chromeOS? Because they don't have Android support.
If you can download bluebook and run it, you can use it.
Thank you for your video. How does one "update" Blue Book once it is installed?
When you open the app it automatically checks for updates, and if there is one then it'll apply it right away.
The list that the college board provided is of a graphing calculator... If I am correct... and all scientific calculators are allowed.
Yep pretty much, the website says what's prohibited, in general 97% of calculators should be fine.
*watchs on the laptop*
video: so, the first thing we should put in our bag is the laptop
*closes the laptop lid and puts the laptop in the bag*
me: what'a next?:)
lmao genius
thank u for sharpening asmr. I have question about photo-id. Mine is black and white. Therefore, there is a problem about it?
If it's a student ID and you're going to take the test in your school it'll be fine, but in other centers that could be an issue as usually you need to present a government issued ID which would be in color
I need help
My laptop battery can't still alive for 3 hours its maximum can for 30 min
What should i do?
Can i use the charger all the time during exam or not?
That'll depend on your exam center. I'd contact them in advance and ask how they're going to set it up. Some will have plugs for everyone, some don't, they're not required to.
I am not sure when I should set up for the exam? How much time does that take ? Could you please help with that?
As I said here you need to do that within 2-3 days before the test, usually it takes a few minutes.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor Thank you!!
Amazing videos.. what do we me by school device? That is the laptop am supposed to use to set up my examination quiz
When you sign up for the test you select whether you will bring your own device, or use a device that the test center provides. I always recommend bringing your own device but if you don't have a reliable laptop with good wi-fi, you might want to request a device from the test center. If you bring your own device, you have to install Bluebook and set up your test on that device.
Will they provide us some simple papers for rough work for math ?????
Test centers are instructed to have scrap paper available for you to use for Math if you want to do things by hand
thanks for this information , can you tell me what we must do when reveal the admission ticket
There should be a person at the door that checks your ticket and your ID. Make sure you get there a little early because there could be a line and it may take a bit because they inspect bags too. So just have the ticket printed or on your phone and they'll verify it when they check you in.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor thanks and what is about setup in my computer is anything that i need to setup without bluebook
Noting else, just run that 'set up exam' (the yellow button on the test in bluebook that I showed here) a couple of days before and on the day of the test when you go to your assigned seat/room they'll explain what to do next.
Do we really need to bring our own device?
I thought it will be provide by the exam centre in test day
Only if you specifically asked for one when you signed up for the test.
between ipad and macbook, which device would you recommend using?
A proper windows laptop :). Try both and see what works best for you.
Does the SAT provide a metric and customary measurement system?
So there are problems on the SAT that use freedom units like feet, miles, etc. You don't normally need to know how to convert those units though, although it might be good to brush up on that quickly. Like an easy example would be to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle and the given sides might be in feet. So it's just adding them up. Also, you don't have to write the units in. However, most questions related to science or geometry will use metric.
Thanks for the video, I wrote my first SAT 2 years ago and completely forgot what I took o the center so this was very helpful!
also @3:29 the reason I suspect most ppl leave is coz of the absolute trash of an attention span that most students have.
You're welcome! And I think attention spans are part of it like you said. I think part of it also is that the algorithm is still trying to figure out who the key audience is for my content, who is most likely to stay and watch. That's hard because "college" is a broad topic and I do a lot of different things here, but I've seen a lot of growth lately so I'm happy, seems like we're making progress
hey, I just want to ask a question which is what kind of calculator is recommended for SAT exam on test day
College board has a whole list of calculator models that they recommend and that are acceptable for the test, I'd recommend looking at that list since I'm bad at math lol.
satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/what-to-bring-do/calculator-policy
sometimes i saw that i clicked on option which was correct , but when i look answer review , i see they change my correct option and select wrong option so that my marks will be same as previous marks. What kind of act it is 🤷♂🤷♂
That's really weird! It's possible that maybe you've accidentally hit some keys on the keyboard, because there are keyboard shortcuts that can change your answers. But it could also be a bug on the app, which wouldn't surprise me either. Definitely make sure to check your answers! Good tip!
Can I bring a Mouse pad to the center as well ?? thanks in advance !
I think that's okay but keep in mind you may not have a lot of space for it. Depends on how the test center is configured, if you've got small desks you might not have room.
I have question for you how to get admission ticket using collage board but can not even gi to registration every time when i try to sign it shows error 400 please help
Well you can't get your admission ticket until a few days before the test. I saw people having trouble with registration yesterday, if the system times out or you can't finish your registration I recommend trying at a different time when less people might be on. It's also a good idea to book further in advance to avoid technical problems like that.
Thank you very much ❤
Is it better to bring your own device ?
I would say yes unless your device has lots of problems. Not only can you register later (it's one month in advance if you need to request a device), but it's YOURS and you know how it works and will probably feel more comfortable with it.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor okay thankyou :)
Hi. Can we do the exam setup and print the admission ticket from the device I'm not using on test day? Also, Thank you for this amazing video. ❤️
You need to do the setup on the device you are going to use because it downloads some material. However, you can print or email the admission ticket from any device by logging into Bluebook.
Can you tell what is Desmos calculator and if it is allowed?
desmos graphing calculator is built into the test app, allowed, recommend you learn how to use it
The link to the English and math classes on the folder isn't working. Can you please make sure it works? I really need those videos 🙏.
I replied to your other comment about that! They're all working so maybe try with another device or another web browser, I tested them all and nobody else has had that problem.
i am so glad i found your channel, thx!
Me too! Thanks for checking it out
I agree for most things but the calculator. The desmos calculator is VERY good.
Maybe I'm just old school, and I'm bad at math, and I like to have a plan B in case the computer acts funky. But hey do whatever works for you
Is webcam necessary? My laptop doesnot have it.
No, no webcam needed for the SAT
Who wrote the SAT today🙋♀️🙋♀️
Let me know what you thought of it
(Mine went well)
Just found out, 2 days before the SAT, that the digital version, is taken online, but at the test center… 🤡🤦🏼♂️
Yuup, you gotta have internets if you wanna take an SAT now. But the test center provides that, as long as your Wi-Fi works you'll be alright.
They still won't give us an at-home test, and I don't think they will for a while honestly. There seems to be more tolerance with English tests since Duolingo is still accepted in a lot of places, but I saw a drop off with the TOEFL At-home. Colleges just trust tests from a center more.
By the way Big fan! Hello from Bangladesh...
Saying hi from Colombia today! I'm not in my usual home of Peru, thanks for checking out the channel
As a lot of questions in DSAT can be done easily using the desmos calculator so do we have to learn lessons concerning graphing equations like is there any restriction regarding using it in DSAT ? What if we cant use is it graphing questions as it is built in calculator . Are we allowed to use it through out the test????
Well if you can handle using the desmos calculator for all of it, then I wouldn't bother spending a lot of time by hand. There's no restriction to using the calculator, the whole math portion lets you use it whenever you want. Sometimes it may not be the fastest way to solve a problem, but for graphing situations I'd use whatever's working best for you in your practice.
Do I need to take my photo in the exam centre
Bring a photo ID, check the requirements for your country
I don't have a laptop but a tablet , so is it fine giving digital SAT on tablet or should I try borrowing a laptop from someone
I think tablet's okay too, but just make sure you practice with it first.
Can we bring stylus to solve questions on our device rather than paper?
So I don't think you would be allowed to switch to another program to write down notes on your tablet or other device, and I don't think using a stylus on Bluebook would be a good idea.
Hey can you tell what kind of device they are going to give?
Each center is different, depends on them. I have no idea.
hey is the center gonna give us scrap papers for math questions
Yes they are supposed to do that
my calculator model is= CASIO fx-991EX Classwiz . It's a non graphical scientific calculator. But i don't see this model in college board calculator list. can i bring this calculator in test day? plz answer
Yeah that should be totally fine
The website says that Casio FX-9860 series is allowed. Does this include fx-9860giii? Also, what about water bottles?
That calculator should be fine. And yes you can bring a water bottle! I forgot to mention that! Ideally a transparent one.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor Thank you so much!!
So while registering, I chose the option which said I'll bring an iPad on test day since I don't have a laptop. But I've realized that an iPad is not very practical, hence I've decided I'll probably borrow someone's laptop. Is it okay if I bring the laptop on test day despite telling them on registration that I'll be using an iPad?
I don't think that'll be an issue, though to be honest I don't have any solid evidence for or against it. Generally I think they ask you what device you plan on bringing just to make sure you acknowledge that you have a device that actually can run Bluebook. So it's more of a legal thing than an actual restriction.
I can tell you that the schools I've worked with on DSAT day have not checked students' devices when they come in, but not every place does things in the exact same way
@@score-yourcollegecounselor thank you!
Helpful video
Thanks,
My laptop battery can hold 30 min can i bring my charge laptop and use it because i hear that there i no place in exam to charge my laptop
There's no guarantee that you'll have a place to charge. Some test centers have put plugs for everyone but some have not, it's not a strict requirement. If your battery dies, you'd have to charge it up and resume where you left off.
My calculator is casio fx-991EX is it allowed?
About the admission ticket thing: i set up my exam and had access to it. However, when i click on the option to email it to myself, it doesn't send it to me. i tried it on different emails many times, checking my spam folder and all. Is it acceptable to take a picture of the admission ticket with my phone camera and show it to them on test day? thanks!
That's odd! I think that might be a good idea, to just take a screenshot of the ticket then and keep that on your phone. If you can print it out, that would probably be best just to be safe. Perhaps try again in the next couple of days, I wouldn't be surprised if their system is overloaded right now as many people are trying to do the same thing.
Can we bring a graphic tablet?
You can take the test on an iPad, but you can't bring a separate drawing tablet for your laptop
Isn´t that list just the graphic calculators? So that as it states above all the scientific ones are allowed? I see so much controversial information on it
I have a scientific Casio FX 991 la cw, apparently it´s not on the list but since it´s scientific I assumed it´s fine
Yeah any scientific calculator would also be allowed. The only ones they really have issues with are ones that allow you to program a bunch of macros or save text files in since you could supposedly have formulas saved or whatever, but even that seems to be less of an issue now that DESMOS has formulas they show you in the bluebook app.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor Okay, Thank you!
Is it allowed to bring a smartphone to the test center?
Yes, you can even use it as your entrance ticket as I explained here
Sir, are we allowed to bring stylus to the exam? I bought one for writing on my iPad.
Yes that should be okay
@score-yourcollegecounselor Thanks a bunch!
Just emailed college board. Seems like it isn’t allowed:(
form link doesn’t work
Read the instructions
@SCORE: Your College Counselor bro give me a hint
I can't find those letters
What about mifi?
Wifi? The center has to provide that and you have to be able to connect, if you don't have wi-fi on the device it won't work
Can you make the review video on Norwich university?
I like that idea! I want to do a Northeast tour sometime soon
Hoping that you will come up with the review very soon. Thank you for the consideration 💫❤️
Greetings,
I need assistance regarding the matter of chosen Device for SAT (test day). So here's a thing, when registering for SAT, I chose Mac as my device for Test Day. Recently, College Board sent me an email mentioning the device's requirements for the test. My OS : Catalina, wasn't compatible, so I additionally installed windows 10 in it (as Operating System). Blue book is working fine on it, but the only thing that's bothering me is that, will there be any issue on the test day ? ( As my chosen device is Mac, but my operating System is Windows 10.)
That shouldn't be a problem as the most important thing is that you can log into Bluebook. They don't usually force you to use whatever device you said during registration, but rather they're trying to let you know what works and what doesn't. If Bluebook is fine, you should be good.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor I can't thank you enough for your help. 🙇🙇🫂🫂
GUYS ABOUT THE CALCULATOR THING,
CAN I BRING TEXAS INSTRUMENTS TI-30XiiS?
WILL I do the official exam in the blubook application or on antother????
In the official Bluebook app, there is no other. So just make sure you update it.
should I bring my device or they will give us their devices?
When you register for the test you have to tell them what you want. They can give you a device or you can bring your own. I recommend bringing your own. Also, the deadline for registration is one month before if you need a device from the center, but it's only 2 weeks before if you bring your own
@@score-yourcollegecounselor In my bluebook app ,itsnot showing upcoming tests, how I print admission ticket
Do TEST CENTER provide device for taking digital SAT? Coz i don't have one.
They do but you have to request one when you sign up, and you have to request it one month before the test date
can we take a keyboard even if we have a laptop
The rules say keyboards only for devices that don't have them
What if we don't have a mouse
I would just try doing it with the touchpad on the laptop, see how that goes for you. I personally find a mouse is faster and I like it more, but if you have a touchscreen you could try that too
I saw all your classes from your course. It is really helpfull. However, I would like to point out some observations: I miss some key grammar and punctuations points. You teach them of course, but I think It could be more deep in your explanations: more details, more rules, more exercises. I also did not like the division of them. Sometimes you mix the usage of grammar and punctuation and I kind feel a little confused. Althought I believe that those points could improve, I am loving your work and It is helping me a lot. Thanks for all :)
Thank you so much for the feedback, and I agree a lot with what you have to say. I plan on making the next class even better on those things, really getting more into rules and examples. I'll be honest, as a teacher the first time you do a class is never your best. It used to take me 3-4 runs to really get it where I want. I'll be streaming all the new classes too so hopefully they help you if you continue to prep for May!
Can I use pen on Digital SAT ,not pencil ?
You can but then erasing things is hard if you run out of space to write.
@@score-yourcollegecounselor Is there only one piece of scratch paper provided？
They say you get two
@@score-yourcollegecounselor Thank you so much🥰
My calculator model is Casio fx-991ES PLUS and this model is not on the list of required calculator on College board. So my Question is that, is there any problem to use my own calculator which is fx-991ES plus on the test day?
It'll be fine those are basically just international variants of the FX-99xx series calculators they have. The 9950 and 9970 are on the list so yours should be really similar to those.
Thank you
does our four practice tests, provided by college board in bluebook, score impact on real SAT score?
No not at all. Those are strictly for practice
Great video
Sorry I missed this! Thank YOU for checking it out, and I hope it was helpful for you before test day
Hey is bluetooth mouse okay to bring ?
Should be fine
thankyou sir
Mr the docs isn’t open with me😓
i watch your video plz make video for writing sections and some questions for practice
Check out the folder I linked in the description of the other SAT videos, I made exercises for all the kinds of questions on the exam, if you've already checked that out, then just hang in there because I'm going to have more materials as I do my next class
Hi, can u still get into your dream university if your 10th and 9th grade results are 81% and 83% and u are a student applying abroad from Ethiopia? are they considered low ? and will i have any chance of entering on scholarship if I improve my 11th and 12th grade results?
Hey so that's a great question! It depends a lot on the context of your school. If 81% or 83% are actually really good marks that put you in the top of your class, then you're fine. Your school counselor needs to give context to the grades by adding your class rank or more information in your counselor recommendation letter.
Also, it's going to depend on the university and the major. If you've got a B or C in math from 10th grade and you want engineering at MIT, that probably isn't going to happen.
how to exam setup ?
That option appears 5 days before the exam so check back into Bluebook on Wednesday and you should see the option to set up exam and print your admission ticket
we are 1 day away from my dsat
Good luck today!
Thanks
Hello! How much your sat courses cost?
At the moment the group classes are $650 US for 40 hours of class, English and Math (I don't teach math but I got someone who does). We dropped the price from last year. Trying to make it more accessible

Hi, if I use my laptop for the digital SAT, can I bring my external keyboard to the room?
They mentioned a keyboard specifically for tablets. If your keyboard on the laptop doesn't work I'd imagine you could bring one but I'm not 100% sure about that. If it does work, I would just use the built-in one.
can you trust this guy with your SAT?
Was anything I said incorrect or inaccurate?
thankyou sir
