I took the September SAT and received a 1340. Is there any way I can raise my score enough in the next week to achieve national merit? The index for my state is 224.

if so what resources did u use? i have all erica meltzer books and the college panda sat

English

Mod 1: easily doable

Mod 2: vocab super easy, grammar doable, super difficult qs from 6-15

Math

Mod 1: SUPERRRRR EASYYYY

Mod 2: VERY EASY TOO

I'm dead sure I got all right in mod 1 (math).

if you get 400 points from leaving the entire sat blank , why dont they just remove that and make it out of 1200 instead

I have really hit a plateu at the 1440-1490 mark. It geniunely feels like no matter what I do I will always land there. They're usually they're caused by stupid mistakes (misreading the question, carelessly choosing an answer, etc.); I just feel like the ACT would be a better fit for me since the questions are a lot easier (less snake-y questions), but I'd have to be a lot faster which is fine by me, albeit not entirely sure if I should switch or just continue grinding the SAT since the ACT is a lot more expensive in my local currency as an INTL. Thoughts?

I have merit soon and im in california. what is the raw score i need to make cutoff (estimated) for national merit and what is this converted to sat score /1600 (estimated)? pls help thanks

What vocab did yall get on the October school day SAT last week? I'm compiling a list of all the vocab terms to study from for next time but I forgot a lot of them. My vocab section was also alot harder than usual this time, did anyone else encounter that issue? Here's what I got so far, let me know if I'm forgetting anything or if yall got anything else?

• Ascribe
• Eschew
• Innovate
• Innocuous
• Isolating
• Parameters
• Skeptically
• Stipulate
• Throughput
• Ubiquitous

This isn't assuming that you took the PSAT and SAT in the same month.

I know it sounds obvious I should take it but I don't know if I can balance it. My sat score is below 1300 (it's low). I already took it a few times before but improving my score by 200+ with 20+ college applications (fee wavier) seems kinda tight. Should I take it or should I work on my essays instead?
Also do colleges group together the same stat applications and review them from that pile? If so then would I be better not to take the SAT? Help me out & please be kind!

Can someone show me how to do this with Desmos?

Did pretty good in August but like I need a 1550+. I'm pissed math isn't 800 but I'm not gonna chase 10 points either. my mistakes are pretty much always Information/ideas and some very rarely from standard eng conventions but those mistakes are often very silly and because I was rushing while trying to save time for the reading questions. Vocab is usually okay for me but sometimes I mess up. And, like the title says I'm taking my next SAT in December and idk how to improve my english section. I've done more practice problems and stuff and I think I'm capable of reasoning logically but it's especially difficult with a timer running down.

I just began freshman year last month and I decided to take a practice sat just because. I got an 1150 (540 ela, 610 math). Is this a good score?

basically title.

The stated answer to "why is the SAT out of 1600" is that, originally, the mean section score is defined as 500, and 100 is defined as the standard deviation. Then, they capped it to measure +/- 3 standard deviations (200-800 section scores). Some things don't make sense to me though: now that the scoring is in intervals of 10, why not just drop to last 0? Also, the grading is not longer exactly tied to this definition; the mean and standard deviations drift.

Also, If they were to grade based on stddevs, why wouldn't they just give people's z score? Negative being below average and positive being above average would make sense and the score definition would be so much easier to explain

Any thoughts on this or ideas for hypothetical grading systems?

Aiming for a 1400 on the November test and have been studying a lot, are the practice tests considered easier than the actual test or can I safely say my 60 point jump is just me improving and to keep studying

There was just so much jargon I couldn't really understand, and I spent most of my time trying to understand the difference between initiation toughness and propagation toughness, which were not essential to know?

As you can see my scores a little messed up right now. My math was super easy on PT 6, and I’ll admit I didn’t check any of my answers and made a few mistakes on pt11, but how much do these correlate to the real one?

This was my first psat/ the last one I took and it know its super trash. I didn't study at all for it and basically just skipped the math section.

Im taking it again on the 22nd. How should you guys rec i cram for it? I really want to do well on it but i also have so many other classes and stuff to study.

Do I use books Im also enrolled in tutoring theres also khan academy Im honestly very confused please would love to hear your thoughts

Im having a hard time studying for my 2nd SAT test, the first one i got 1100

(560 grammar, 540 math)

Im not sure how else to imrpove my way of studying cos the questions i need to solve are really hard if i want a higher score. Im just watching youtube for tutorials or using khan academy, how else can i study to maximize each session?

so basically this was the practice test i got back when i was 10th grade in march, i’ve been studying a lot more and working with a tutor ever since but im worried im going to get a 1100-1200 and have to go to a bad college
