I would definitely buy a book on the DSAT reading section on amazon. I also recommend grammar if you are struggling at all with grammar. You should be able to get 100% of grammar correct.

Yeah Baron is a good brand. I personally like Princeton Review.

@@Smol_bean-xl9pl You absolutely can improve your score from a 1390 to a 1500+. Math is something you 100% can improve in a month. I suggest finding a math workbook for the DSAT on amazon or your local bookstore and go through the entire thing. It will teach you how to approach each type of problem as well as providing tons of practice.

@@chaimaeanagam_1312 970 is pretty low. This makes me think there is a major lack in English or math, you are running out of time and not able to finish the test, and/or you aren’t focused at all. I think it is very doable but you need to identify your weaknesses and spend hours everyday to get rid of those weaknesses. If you know what you are having trouble with and want advice to fix an area of weakness, let me know and I can answer any questions!

@@emmettfunston well the thing is I really don't know if i'm lacking in the sat or myself because I can't keep myself focused i get easily distracted do you any advices please

@@chaimaeanagam_1312 If you cannot focus throughout the entire SAT, my solution would be to take more practice exams. Treat them like the real thing (no using your phone or taking breaks when not designated). You need to get used to taking the entire test.

@@aryajibi7408 It depends on what your goal is. If you are aiming for a solid score for a solid school, 1180 is pretty far even with no prep. With no prep there are people who can score 1500’s (rare), 1400’s (kind of common), 1300’s (common). Even starting out in the 1300’s is pretty low. If you have high goals I suggest preparing a lot as nobody really cares how much you prepared, only your best score. Good luck!

@@resist7219 I just did and still do hw when it is assigned. I had a pretty similar schedule my junior and senior year and thought it was super doable. My ECs took up all my fridays and saturdays so I typically finished all my hw and studying before the weekends rolled around. I would also just get comfortable doing work on the weekends.

Congrats! I knew people that were like this as well.

Pq você tá vendo vídeo para melhorar no sat sendo que você já tirou uma nota mto boa?? Genuine question

@@paulaborges7726 cara, eu só vim aqui pra tentar motivar outros estudantes brasileiros mostrando q eles também conseguem!

I never studied vocabulary specifically. I did encounter many words that I did not know in practice and real exams though. While taking practice exams (take as many as you can), always note unfamiliar words and learn the definition after the exam. This will help you expand your vocabulary as the SAT likes to reuse words. My biggest advice would be to learn how to guess a word's definition by looking at its surrounding context. I always tried to replace words I didn't know with words I did know while still making sense of the passage. When answering vocabulary questions on the SAT, I would reread the sentence with all the other given word choices to see which word makes the most sense within the context of the passage. Some answer choices will simply sound "off" if you replace the sentence with a word.

Getting from a 1060 to a 1200 in a week will be pretty difficult. If you have a math workbook, I would personally cram to get through the whole thing. Because you have such little time, I probably wouldn't do all of the practice problems for each topic though. I would definitely consider taking another DSAT where you could probably get even higher than a 1200. Good luck!

Nope, just study and you'll improve a lot.

Nah your good, from what i’ve heard (at least for math) if you’re below 600 there’s likely some fundamental concepts you don’t know, and then from 600-750ish you just have to work on fully understanding the concepts (like being able to solve the concepts when info is missing, rather than solving them in a straightforward way like school presents them), and then from 750-800 it’s mostly avoiding silly mistakes and just locking all the way in

Yeah, Desmos is totally fine for the DSAT. Some people do find Khan Academy to be a helpful resource. I found the books to be more helpful personally, but everyone is different. Definitely try Khan Academy and see if you are able to attain your dream score that way. If you are still struggling like I did, I would recommend purchasing some of the books if not all. For example, if you are the weakest in math, purchasing one math subject book could be very helpful to learn specific topics and practice.

@@emmettfunston Thank your very much, i will try to do my best and i may buy a math book. wish me luckkk

Same

@@jaydensilegood luck

What college u want to apply?

If you grind every single day for the next 5 months, I do think you can reach a 1500. I would highly recommend the books linked in my description. With the DSAT, you might want to look on Amazon for more updated workbooks (especially for books with practice exams in them... section specific books will still apply for the most part). Definitely purchase a workbook dedicated to each section (Reading, Grammar, Math) and complete each one cover to cover. The standard for a high score is receiving a perfect score on grammar and math. Begin taking practice SAT's every weekend (once a week). Once it gets closer to the test date, you'll want to take practice tests more than once per week. I would also suggest taking as many real SAT's as possible within the next 5 months because you do get more comfortable dealing with the pressure of a real exam after a couple of times. You should be able to get through section specific books cover-to-cover for reading, grammar, and math. You should be able to get these done way before 5 months if you are really serious about studying. If you finish a workbook, I would purchase another one purely due to the amount of practice problems you'll go through. If budget is a serious problem for you, Khan Academy is always an option. I started with Khan Academy and bought the workbooks as a last resort. I personally thought the workbooks were a lot more helpful. Good luck!

@@emmettfunston thanks man I’m gonna grind and get there. How do you remember things that you had studied ( like a week) ago when you go to new topics. My biggest enemy is that I almost forget a topic I had just studied and it feels like I’m going in a downward spiral

@@andresleon8892 The good thing about these workbooks is they teach a topic, then have a bunch of practice problems on that topic. Practice is the way the engrain something in your brain

@@h4n1ah I was at this exact point personally. I exhausted all of the practice tests and khan academy takes out of these practice tests so I was doing repeated problems constantly where I got my 1300’s. I would highly recommend getting a math workbook linked in my description. I used both of these, however I believe the panda series is more preferable amongst people. I would also suggest getting a grammar book depending on how your 690 is divided. I made my younger brother complete the panda grammar book and since then he’s been getting a perfect score on grammar ever since. He has also drastically improved his reading since using a textbook, however I believe reading is more about strategy and approach. For reading you could get away with finding a RUclips video explaining this strategy and approach (or I could make one) and then just keep taking more practice tests. For more practice tests I would recommend purchasing the Princeton Review DSAT prep book. I found Princeton Review exams to be harder than the real exams which prepared me better than college board practice exams.

​@@emmettfunston okay okay thank you sm. for the reading and writing section, my grammar has been perfect -- it's the middle questions about "logically completing the text" and other lengthy questions that always make me loose points. i would love if you could make a video about how to approach the questions that have a bulk of information bc those are always overwhelming. i will definitely check out the Princeton book though!

I have personally never taken the DSAT, however my younger brother has been studying for the DSAT using these textbooks. His current single test score is a 1490 with a super score of 1520. I would say the material is still essentially the same and the concepts learned in the books are worth it and will help. I do not know where you are currently at in terms of you current score and goal, however assuming you are aiming for a 1550 or above, I would make sure to complete both books before your exam. Count up the total number of chapters and days between now and the exam. Then, divide these evenly and make sure to stay disciplined and do your allotted chapters to complete both textbooks by the time your exam rolls around. I would also make sure to take practice exams every single Saturday from now on until your exam (online or physical textbook, preferably those that replicate the DSAT). I would also recommend getting a grammar textbook if you do not already have one as grammar and math are the easiest sections to get a perfect score on. Only give yourself room for error on the reading section. Good luck, study hard, and stay consistent!

@@emmettfunston okay bless, its time i get to work

what math book ru using for studying dsat math section? which edition exactly pls help

@@BasantShahin-o1f the college panda book, its one of the links in the videos description

@@nathanieljocson9956 but this book is for paper sat its not for digital version will this book still help get a high score

SAT Exams won’t bother you or be your problem if you work with someone like Mrs Elleigh P. She’s God sent, saved me from taking SAT a second time

I heard she works with the college board but has been helping students ace results like mine for years now

Yes you’re right that’s her .

She is always active on Whats-App

It could be for you. I found that it was not for me and the extra subject books were extremely helpful. At least when I was doing Khan Academy, I noticed that the questions were limited and came straight from the practice tests so it felt repetitive after a certain point.

yeah…

horror pig

thats what i was thinking 😭

That's awesome! I'm sure you did well, don't worry!

I had the same experience with AP hug my freshman year too LOL. I heard chem is pretty difficult so definitely put some studying into that one! You are also able to take AP exams at nearby high schools if your school does not offer them. You would have to self-study, however I knew people who did this and it looks good to colleges as you did not let your circumstances stop you. I also found that as the years go on, you get used to AP classes and are able to handle taking more. Whatever you do though, good luck on everything and thank you!

Chem and physics are pretty tough, but if you put in the work it is very doable. Don't be discouraged and you'll do great!

@@emmettfunston thank youuu

Yeah, you got this!

Fr why was he trynna flex like “JuSt WaTcHeD a qUicK tUtoRiaL for Ap CaLc aND I WaS goOD tO go”

Bro probably studied 2 hours every night for the past 3 months to get those scores 😂

@@siddharthkaligotla614 Yeah, if you study in class

@@AlboonS-zy7suit’s not that hard to believe 😭 I didn’t study at all n got a 5 on bio, lang, psych, and calc

@@MrToxic-xy4vk I feel like classes like ap psych ap calc apush are heavy on memorization so you have to study a lot. I took both physics 1 and c and lemme tell you, I slept in that class EVERY DAY and still got 5’s. Physics was more based on problem solving skills, I studied for the test starting a few days before the exam 😂

I would wait until June. Just make sure to start studying now as if you were taking the one in two weeks. Do not give yourself time to slack off because it is farther away. You got this. Time management can be fixed by taking more practice tests. I am a pretty slow reader and had to train myself to read faster for the SAT. This meant I was reading faster in general (street signs, books, assignment directions, lecture notes). For math and grammar, there are a lot of tricks to gain speed. The books I used in the description really helped me with those sections. Missing out on easy questions sucks, but that means you have a lot of room to improve your score for the next test. You got this!

Wow! Your reading and grammar are pretty solid already. I would probably suggest getting the College Panda math book (you can find on amazon or my description). This book is really helpful with the types of problems the SAT uses and how to solve them efficiently. Math is a lot easier to improve than reading, so you have a lot of potential to score really high. Just keep practicing with a heavy emphasis on math and you'll get there.

@@emmettfunston The English section stuff just comes really natural to me, since its more about logic and less about knowing what process to use. I just need to start studying for math further ahead of time because its less about intuition and more about knowing how to do stuff. The school im trying to get into allows superscoring for your reported scores too, so even if I do crap on reading/writing in the future I can combine my existing 720 with a better math score.

Yeah, you got it. A lot of the SAT is just being comfortable with the test itself.

The material is supposed to be the same so I would say so, however I did not take the digital SAT myself. The subject specific books will teach you actual SAT topics which should translate whether digitally or on paper.

@@emmettfunston Okay,thanks a lot

That's insane dude! Good stuff and no problem

Did you take the digital sat?

Nah I did the paper SAT in November@@phil5984

Digital or paper

u took the digital ?

I practiced reading faster on everything: street signs, homework problems, books, and the SAT itself. The questions (besides main idea questions) are in order of where they pop up in the passage. I would read the passage and answer questions simultaneously. Answer main idea questions at the end. If you struggle on a problem, skip it. Make sure you get through every passage and answer most of the questions before going back on the hard ones. I would also find out what passages you tend to do better on and do those first. Leave the hard ones for later as they will take more time and if you're going to get those wrong anyways make sure you get all the easy ones right. You don't want to lose points on easy passages because you spent too long on harder ones.

Good luck! I was the same way, don't worry. It is totally doable.
