Admissions Advice

sat advice!

Hey everyone! I need some advice on the SAT! I'm a high school junior and my SAT goal is to get around a 1300 or 1400! I think I'm on the right track with the English portion but struggle with the Math. Are there any websites that you guys could recommend?

I recommend starting with Khan Academy's free course. I practice 10-20 minutes for a single month and saw a 200+ score improvement! Use the course and then go and use the questions provided on the Collegeboard Question Bank (these will be the most accurate to the possible test questions.)

Also, I used Strategic Test Prep's Youtube videos and their workbooks, which are $25 pdfs. Sometimes they give you one free if you sign up for the email list! Very helpful books...compiles practice questions in categories so you can look at your score report and see the weak areas, then focus on those. Also, Method Learning on Youtube has AMAZING videos for Desmos calculator. That calculator is a powerful tool if you know how to use it.

My highest ERW is 730. My math score (in March) was 660 after a 590 in October.

Hope this helps and lmk if you have any questions.
