Did anyone have that transition question about the neutral charge and how that helps with efficiency. the answer choices were like as such, in other words, blah blah

u/send_help247 · 2 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

The answer was. "Granted" because in the next sentence they said that the particle doesn't move with normal forces so the scientist planned to use sound waves instead. "Granted, the particle does not move with blah blah blah, so Dr. blah blah plans to use sound waves"

Wasn’t it that is? I though the things after blank was same “limiting” things which has the same idea so just restating?

u/BigSea7825 · 5 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

What did you write for the honeybees question and cross text about some species and clates

u/Standard-Walk6172 · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Do anyone remember the answer of the neutral charge circuit efficacy transitions question. I think it was granted or that is. I chose granted

u/FantasticTradition80 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

ye it was granted

u/InevitableCause47 · 3 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

I dont think it was that, I think it was that is, the first sentence was only emphasizing the neutral charge aspect

u/M1nC0M · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

was granted

u/tvgirlsconfidante · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

i chose granted too

u/Suspicious_Abies7822 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

yea it was granted

u/Practical_Fan1171 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

yeah its granted

u/Educational_Bus_5101 · 2 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

I thought so too—usually for “granted” you need something that contrasts the point, but the sentence only emphasized it.

u/TechnicianMediocre89 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

if rw is 27/27 for m1 and 23/27 for m2 would it be 750………. it was one note taking, one “as such” question, one long passage and one grammar..

u/Suspicious_Abies7822 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

if u messed up grammar that means prolly like 730-740

u/kri77sz · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Was it as such or in response?

u/Opposite_Whole4749 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

I hope it is "in response" 😭

u/Sure-Cheetah688 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

I switched from in response to as such

u/kri77sz · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Was it in response or as such????

u/Budget-Custard2528 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

It’s as such

u/kri77sz · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

Are you 100% sure it’s as such

u/Tough_Gate_2908 · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

u/Dull_Bit3562 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

u/kingtommyIII · 2 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

u/14ProfHyuuga88forTND · 4 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

lacking

u/InevitableCause47 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

lacking

u/Munish_Manohar · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

I dont think it will be lacking because the question was like

The RFID tags ___ sensors( or smth) that would enable it to do smth

So lacking here?
I dont think so

u/Outrageous-Rope-8047 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Guys I might be tweaking but I genuinely believe I had a wrong English question it was a hot summer one and you had to fill in between the commas like unnecessary info but the statement itself seemed so wrong to me as there was another comma at the end seperating the statement from the main verb.I think it was something like guides recommend but even if you choose the option that had the word that with no comma there was already a comma at the beginning that would make it so all the info about Russia would be between comma.It was either like 2 commas or 3 and nothing made sense.

u/CartoonistFront6445 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

for the wildlife expert question, were any commas needed or was it all one subject?

u/Feisty-Date-338 · 2 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

no commas i think

u/No_Break_7881 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

its a Title Name case so no commas pretty sure

u/Rkmaster25367 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

u/woah-dino · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

Bruh don't worry I didn't got easy mod 2 just in the mod 2 vocabulary and grammar was easier I felt so

u/hyipcass · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

u/mseduhub1 · 1 point · r/satprep · view on Reddit

With 5 days left, focus on your weakest R&W areas, especially grammar, transitions, and vocabulary in context. Do timed practice daily and carefully review every mistake. Use Digital SAT Reading & Writing Practice Questions for targeted revision. Improving to 700 is challenging but worth aiming for!

u/standardpreptests · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Do not read too much into the test 11 claim. Every Bluebook test is built to the same blueprint, and scores wobble between them. Your level is your range across the last few tests, not one test's reputation.

u/VocabMonsterOfficial · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

December is the realistic target. For transitions, cover the choices and say in your own words how the second sentence relates to the first before looking. Lastly, for every miss, write down why it happened, look for the pattern, and practice only with official Bluebook questions.

u/VocabMonsterOfficial · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

A 30-point increase is definitely within reach, although there's no guarantee. With so little time left, I'd focus on the easiest points to recover rather than trying to learn a bunch of new material.

u/EggplantMaleficent52 · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

The 20 points between you and 1550 are the two or three questions per test you already know how to do but give away, and that’s what these last days should target.

u/curiousgeorge6914 · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

You should try lots of questions. For the english, the more you read the more you improve. Look at what the question is asking you before you read the text so you know exactly what you’re looking for. Highlight things you think are important and relative to the question. Watch videos of the punctuation rules cause that can earn you some easy points. But honestly, understand the question properly. That helps me find the correct answer best. You can try doing some college board questions and also using khan academy

u/h4zel033 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

As for timing, I highly recommend skipping around instead of going in order. First, do the first 13 or so questions since those are mostly just conventions. Then skip to questions 15, 16, and 17 because that’s where the vocabulary is. Continue working until the end, and then come back to questions 13–15 to work on the longer ones. Skip around as much as you need to.
Do the easiest questions first and then go back to the ones you think you can figure out. Eventually, you’ll look at the questions so many times that you’ll start recognizing things and figuring out the answers. Just make sure you’re confident in the answers you put down at the beginning. Don’t spend too much time on those because you don’t want to waste time on questions you already understand. Save more of your time for the middle section since those questions will probably take longer.

u/clockcy · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

Try to get all correct on module 1 or at max 1 wrong, get the harder 2nd module, that'll allow you a relaxation of 3-4 wrong questions/guesswork in case you run out of time and still have you scoring 700+. I do words in context and second half first (grammar, transitions, rhetorical synthesis), and reserve the rest of my time for dense passages. Then I try to work my way up to deciding on an answer by questioning what's wrong w/ the others wrt whatever the question's asking. The answer MUST be relevant and fully supported by the evidence, and vice versa for inferences. As for the graph questions, that's where I almost always lose my marks in the 2nd module. So my score's capped at 740-750 (760 max so far) for that reason. I'm pretty much lost in those myself

u/Standard-Cow-9727 · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Have you taken Algebra 2 and geometry yet? If you haven’t, wait until you take those, then take practice tests and go from there. I promise, you have time. The PSAT is a baseline indicator. It’s not used in admissions decisions. It is too early to tell what you’ll get junior and senior year. And, it’s not scored the same, and doesn’t include the same content. As for your actual question, time management- practice, practice, practice. Another helpful thing I did was learn the format. Generally reading has the vocabulary first, then short essay, then grammar, prepositions, then “pick the best option” ones. Generally math has easier first, then hardest in the middle, then easier last. If you can’t decide how to start on a question in thirty seconds, move on. Don’t check your work until the end of you have extra time, and if you have hard questions left that you equally don’t know how to solve, prioritize the one with the blank and not multiple choice.

u/Fine_Difficulty_3143 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Hello. I am a 9th grader, but got all of the questions right on the reading and writing segment. What I really recommend is just incorporating reading into your daily habits. It works far faster and becomes more intuitive than studying grammar rules extensively. not an expert just a nerd though lol. I’m in the same boat as you, my math is your reading essentially.

u/EggplantMaleficent52 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

Since you’re going into humanities, start with the grammar and punctuation questions near the end of each RW module. They only test a few rules, so they’re the fastest points you can pick up. For punctuation, check whether there’s a full sentence on each side. For transitions, decide whether the second sentence continues or contrasts with the first before you look at the choices. For notes questions, read the goal in the question and cross out anything that misses it. On the reading questions, come up with your own answer before you look at the choices, and cross out anything the passage doesn’t actually back up.

u/No_Delivery6961 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

go to no red ink and spam their sat grammar rules

u/Potential-Middle-383 · 1 point · r/satprep · reply · view on Reddit

I got 1400 on practice 5 bc I got 570 in English in practice 11 but I don’t wanna redo it (I did practice 11 on Tuesday and 5 yesterday). And my mistakes were mostly graph and hard vocabs, also hard transitions and some bullet point (which required double check the note but I didn’t) would it be realistic to raise to 1500 tmr???

u/CreativeAgency1698 · 1 point · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

Why is the comma inside the quotation marks ??

u/clockcy · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

it's A. there's no misprinting, that's just how comma works when quotations are involved. you'd notice it in books too. for instance-- "I said you can leave," she retorted.

u/EggplantMaleficent52 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

You haven’t plateaued in RW. 690, 700, 720 is a slow climb, and the only score that went down was math, which your 800 already covers in the superscore. So the real question is smaller than “keep studying for the SAT.” It’s whether you can find 30 RW points without it eating junior year.

u/gong_kim · 2 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

I was actually in a very similar situation. Had done all the hard questions on CB and all the practice tests multiple times, but was struggling to break into 1500.

u/wagreN · 2 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

i have 99% on the sat math course on khan academy and 90% on the english part.
afterwards i took a practice test and did sh*t in english (mostly grammar and time management).
watched ALL of james lu’s videos on r&w, watched some of mvp learner’s desmos videos on regression, and did another prac while trying to apply the techniques i learned.

u/EggplantMaleficent52 · 1 point · r/Sat · view on Reddit

For SAT prep I’d change how she reviews more than what she studies. On every Bluebook SAT practice test, have her put a small mark next to each answer she’s completely sure of before she moves on. When she reviews, the misses she marked as sure are her real list. At her level these are usually things like solving for x when the question asks for 2x, a choice that’s true but doesn’t answer the question, or a punctuation question done by ear instead of by rule. Have her write each slip down in one line, like “didn’t reread what the question asked for.” The same three or four slips tend to show up again and again, and once she can name them, she starts catching them.

u/Ornery-Try-2752 · 3 points · r/Sat · view on Reddit

hey man, ive been in a similar hurdle but js w a different score. i WAS roughly around the 1350 - 1400 area w like 710 - 720 math and 670 - 690 math. the best advice i can give u is to NOT let your nerves get to you as that was my mistake in my first SAT and ik i could have done better on my first sat (1330). after that i would just grind non-stop, generate cheat sheets via ai for the concepts i didnt know and apply them to ai gen questions + bluebook/other questions. I would also watch desmos videos and questions very frequently which improved my math + geometry practice via ai + scott robinson (raised to a 750 - 780 math). my advice for math is to WATCH SCOTT ROBINSON. he is literally the goat and gives such good questions. a lot of slop creators post questions and i would just try to get more familiarity and not focus on their methods as scott robinson's desmos methods are lowk the best. james lu is also good for fundementals. for reading in writing, i was in a similar boat and to be honest, i feel like its just luck/more practice. it is a very tedious process to increase the rw score compared to math (took me 1 - 2 weeks for a serious improvement for math) but rw just needs consistency, not falling for trap answers (roughly 50% of my mistakes were cuz of that in info and ideas + craft and structure). for standard english convetions, james lu is very good as the grammar rules he has are very useful. for transitions (struggled w quite a bit) i used ai practice + just reading more questions/texts helped me get better. more cb questions also help but learning relationships is good (never fully mastered but fs got better at it). my pratice tests are roughly 1450 - 1470 types and i would just reccomend u to put some consistency in regards to rw (even if u dont make crazy progress) and math will give you immense joy if u listen to me. 1150 is the place for ez imrpovements (200+ arent very hard cuz of math) and then from 1350 - 1450 i would just use my advice. i hope you do well and you have my wishes and best of luck. i am also giving november and don't be dissapointed in letting others down, it will just hinder your performance. just lock in and give it your best and build up from there. you are more than your sat score :).

u/Key_Fruit4146 · 2 points · r/Sat · reply · view on Reddit

I personally got my RW score from a 650 to a 730 by focusing on Standard English conventions (grammar, structure, etc). It is the quickest thing to learn and it will hopefully boost your score. You would be surprised with how many people don't know how to use semicolons, colons, etc.!
