I just wanted to add my two cents about the Rhetorical Synthesis questions. The strategy discussed in the video does save a lot of time. However, the College Board has started adding false information into the answer choices to bait you into selecting them without reading the actual notes in their practice tests. I have a feeling they might include these trick questions in the August 2024 test, so beware.

Thank you so much after watching to your videos, now I'm pretty sure that I will perform good in free live full length test on 10th and 11th August held by Mentomind.
i got a 560 on the last DSAT on the english section. now im going to take it on Aug 24th. last time i got low on time and could'nt finish half of the reading questions.
Took a practice after watching your and math with jizu's tips and went from 640 to 700. I'm a bit of a skeptic so I feel like that was a fluke, so I'm going to take another one and post my results.
@@DylanShaughnessySAT it might have been a fluke man. Took 2 full English section and I got 660 the first time and 660 the second time. Edit: I might have been wrong. Took another test and scored 700. Findings are getting very inconsistent, don't know why, but the inconsistency sucks. good tips though!
Your tips and tricks were truely genuine. But I have one question: Do you want us to do question in a specific order to maximize time? For example I do it this way 1. Grammer 2. Transition 3. Outline stuff 4. Vocab 5. Central and Purpose Last : 2 passage Please ping me and let me know.
The idea is to start with your strengths so you can get through questions faster without getting stuck. This approach is especially helpful if you struggle with running out of time, as it allows you to complete more questions. Since all questions are worth the same points, starting with your strengths ensures you maximize your score within the time limit. However, if time isn’t an issue for you, it doesn’t matter as much. Does this make sense?
Thanks for the advice. Could you address the questions that have a piece of text with an underlined sentence, and then asks what does the underlined text contribute to the structure of the whole text? And also the newer poetry questions?
Yes! The function of the underlined section question type is a part of the broader purpose questions, so many of the things I said in that section apply here. The strategy I use is to read the text as a whole, then go back to the underlined part and ask myself what insight it gave me. I'll come up with an original answer before looking at the answer choices, then I'll pick the one that best matches with my prediction. There aren't too many questions on poetry, but I'll give you what I know. The best thing you can do is focus on the goal of the question (is it asking for main idea, purpose, or detail?), and hone in on your strategies with those question types. For example, if it was asking for the main idea, I would try my best to translate the poem into a way I can understand. I would then use this translation against the answer choices. Of course the hardest part is the translating. In my community I member named Amani Alzhori posted a list of poetry words you may find helpful: Thou: You (subject) Thee: you (object, singular) Ye: You (object, plural) Thy: Your Thuself: Yourself Dost: do Doth: does ‘Ere: before Hast: have ‘Tis: it is ‘Twas: it was Wast: were Whence: from where Wherefore: why Hence: from here Oft: often Yea: even Aught: anything Nay: no Ay: yes art : are

i am international test taker not all questions are worth the same points : easy question right = +10 points ; wrong = -20 points /// hard question right: +20 points; wrong= -10 points
Where did you hear this? I'm curious because I believe College Board claims every question is worth the same, but I've also seen people say that College Board is lying about this.
Hi man, these strategies definitely worked for me, but my main issue is that even though I get every answer in module 1 correct, when it comes to the second module, I cant use my time effectively and thereby drop to scores around the 650 range, with the large part of my errors stemming from my lack of time management. Any tips on how I can rectify this issue? Exam is next week btw so Im extremely nervous about this issue
I recommend starting with your strengths so you can solidify as many points just in case you run out of time. For improving time management, I try to only look for what the question needs. For example, if the question asks for the overall structure of the text, I'm not going to be paying attention to tiny details like people's names. Also, I don't read every word in my head. Instead, I scan the text without pronouncing the words in my head (this is known as speed-reading). Finally, I look for patterns in each question that I can use to shortcut me to the answer. This pattern recognition is especially present in grammar related questions. An example of this might be recognizing that all the answer choices are verbs, then immediately searching for the context of the verb to complete the question without wasting time deciding the next course of action.
@@DylanShaughnessySAT i went from 610 (very start no study) to 700 (from practicing for last sat) to 760 from practice 5 (i got 770 once too but that was luck) thank u bro for the help, looks like ur blowing up now karma did u good, hope u have a good life :)
Thanks! Yes, I have some tips for you. Start with your strengths-questions you can answer quickly and accurately-so you can get through more of the test within the time limit. For example, I found the "Information and Ideas" (long passage questions) took me the longest, so I’d skip ahead to the grammar questions. This way, if I ran out of time, the hardest questions were the ones I didn’t finish, and I maximized the number of questions I answered. Since every question is worth the same, this strategy can help boost your score. Ideally, you want to complete EVERY question, and two key strategies for this are speed reading and pattern recognition. Speed reading involves scanning the text to quickly grasp the main points without subvocalizing (speaking the words in your head), which takes practice. Pattern recognition, especially for grammar questions, allows you to identify what to look for and answer in just 10-30 seconds. For a more mathematical approach, there are 27 questions in 32 minutes, giving you about 71 seconds per question. Setting a timer and practicing within this limit can improve your pacing. I also mentioned in the video how the flag tool and clock can help manage your time effectively. Let if this makes sense
hey, so i am yet to take the last (test 6) practice test on the blue book app, does this video cover the questions asked in that test? if yes i would watch the video after giving the test.
This is so helpful! I last scored a 710 on practice test 2, but after watching this I got a 750 on practice test 5! Also, what degree of variance is there in the difficulty of the practice tests? How much should a score waiver by across tests?
That's great! I don't think a score will waver TOO much between practice tests. While it is possible that a jump from 710 to 750 is just a fluke, I think it's unlikely. I've heard stories of huge variance in others, but not much in myself.
I think the biggest factor is to ruthlessly target your weaknesses. You can do this by reviewing your practice tests, analyzing the explanations, and even creating a notebook where you write your mistakes and why you got the question wrong. You can also target specific weaknesses with the SAT question bank or Khan Academy quizzes.
Understand Concepts: Master algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry concepts. writing and reading and vocabulary. Practice Regularly: Use official SAT practice tests and questions. Focus on Weak Areas: Identify and improve weak points through targeted practice. Learn Test Strategies: Use process of elimination and answer easy questions first. Time Management: Practice pacing to complete all questions in the given time. Review Mistakes: Analyze errors and understand the correct solutions.
18:27 i don't know to identify the Clauses when i want to definite it seems Like it's not important so i choose dependent and the surprise that is independent so i get it the questions wrong..
I think you're asking what an independent vs dependent clause is? Correct me if that's not what you meant. If it is, an independent clause is a complete thought (Example: I made a RUclips video about the SAT.) Two independent thoughts must be separated with a period, semicolon, or a comma followed of any of the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Dependent clauses are not complete thoughts that cannot stand alone, and they need to be connected to an independent clause in order to be a complete sentence (Example: After I studied for the SAT,). If you don't knowing what these are, you won't be able to connect thoughts with correct grammar. If this doesn't make sense let me know.
The only way a words in context question can be answered is if there's enough context to make an educated guess of what the word could be. The SAT often puts this context in a repeatable format. They have a statement, describing something, then they repeat the same idea again (restatement). In order for you to figure out what the word in the blank is, you have to find the synonym in the other statement. If the statements were all original, then it would be close to impossible to guess what the word might be. Since the SAT is objective, they have to input a synonym somewhere else in the text that pairs with the word in context. Does this clear things up?
Thank you for this video. I’ve been getting low 700s for my mocks now (got 710 in June, want to improve to retaking) and every time I would make a mistake that was silly (like not reading the full answer or grammar). This video will help me get a high 700 this month. Any tips on how to stay focused through the test and make sure to make no silly mistakes?
Wow, 710 is awesome! For avoiding silly mistakes, I found it helpful to keep a notebook dedicated to them. Writing things down by hand requires more effort than typing, which reinforces the lesson, so I recommend using a physical notebook instead of a Google Doc. Here’s what I did: I noted the type of question, the mistake I made, and how I would avoid it in the future. You might notice that most of your mistakes stem from a few gaps in understanding or common issues like reading too quickly. As for staying focused, do whatever you can to stay alert before the exam-get good sleep, chew gum, take a cold shower, or review a few practice questions to warm up. Good luck with your goal!
Transition words help clarify the relationship between ideas in the text, guiding the reader through the author's thought process. This can be helpful in purpose questions because understanding these connections reveals what the author is trying to convey, making it easier to determine the overall purpose or message of the passage.
@@br0jy No, I should have mentioned it in the video, but I was referring to when you’re taking practice tests so you can get adjusted to noise before you take the actual test.
Hey loved your video, i always get stuck on inference questions and questions with graphs and tables, They usually come at the last when you have little time left and without reading the whole text and interpreting the graphs and tables you cannot really get it right. What to do in this situation?
@@eshaltahir5378 sounds like a time management issue possibly? I would try to focus on only searching for what you need on each question. So for example, don’t pay attention to the tiny details if the question only asks what quote would support the findings (in this example, just scan the text until you identify the findings, then look at the answer choices). This is a fairly generalized description so let me know if this makes sense. I gave tips on optimizing your time in some other comments on this video and in my community if you want to look through those.
@@DylanShaughnessySAT Great vid man! Btw can you brief me on when to use a single comma before words like 'as', 'though', 'which', 'when' ? Would be grateful!
Yes I agree. I intentionally pick easy questions to emphasize the strategies rather than the question itself. Don’t expect these questions to consistently appear on tests.
I agree with DriftySwifty, tips can help to a point, but understanding the actual material (grammar rules, question structure, etc.) is how you can boost your score to the higher levels, and that comes through learning using a resource like khan academy, putting it in practice through bluebook practice tests, and reading the explanations of your incorrect questions.
Understand Concepts: writing and reading and vocabulary. Practice Regularly: Use official SAT practice tests and questions. Focus on Weak Areas: Identify and improve weak points through targeted practice. Learn Test Strategies: Use process of elimination and answer easy questions first. Time Management: Practice pacing to complete all questions in the given time. Review Mistakes: Analyze errors and understand the correct solutions.

Where did you hear this? I'm curious because I believe College Board claims every question is worth the same, but I've also seen people say that College Board is lying about this.
@@YoussefMohammed4711E there are no negative marks, so good luck 🤞
Hi man, these strategies definitely worked for me, but my main issue is that even though I get every answer in module 1 correct, when it comes to the second module, I cant use my time effectively and thereby drop to scores around the 650 range, with the large part of my errors stemming from my lack of time management. Any tips on how I can rectify this issue? Exam is next week btw so Im extremely nervous about this issue
I recommend starting with your strengths so you can solidify as many points just in case you run out of time. For improving time management, I try to only look for what the question needs. For example, if the question asks for the overall structure of the text, I'm not going to be paying attention to tiny details like people's names. Also, I don't read every word in my head. Instead, I scan the text without pronouncing the words in my head (this is known as speed-reading). Finally, I look for patterns in each question that I can use to shortcut me to the answer. This pattern recognition is especially present in grammar related questions. An example of this might be recognizing that all the answer choices are verbs, then immediately searching for the context of the verb to complete the question without wasting time deciding the next course of action.
Thanks
No problem
give me that shaughnessy
this video helped alot👍
It makes me happy to hear that
@@DylanShaughnessySAT i went from 610 (very start no study) to 700 (from practicing for last sat) to 760 from practice 5 (i got 770 once too but that was luck) thank u bro for the help, looks like ur blowing up now karma did u good, hope u have a good life :)

@@DylanShaughnessySAT Scoi
Is this for digital SAT? Some of the concepts for English couldn't make sense for me
this was soo good! thankyou so much!
Also, i always have trouble managing my time on the 2nd module of EBRW section. any tips?
Thanks! Yes, I have some tips for you. Start with your strengths-questions you can answer quickly and accurately-so you can get through more of the test within the time limit. For example, I found the "Information and Ideas" (long passage questions) took me the longest, so I’d skip ahead to the grammar questions. This way, if I ran out of time, the hardest questions were the ones I didn’t finish, and I maximized the number of questions I answered.
Since every question is worth the same, this strategy can help boost your score. Ideally, you want to complete EVERY question, and two key strategies for this are speed reading and pattern recognition. Speed reading involves scanning the text to quickly grasp the main points without subvocalizing (speaking the words in your head), which takes practice. Pattern recognition, especially for grammar questions, allows you to identify what to look for and answer in just 10-30 seconds.
For a more mathematical approach, there are 27 questions in 32 minutes, giving you about 71 seconds per question. Setting a timer and practicing within this limit can improve your pacing. I also mentioned in the video how the flag tool and clock can help manage your time effectively. Let if this makes sense
@@DylanShaughnessySAT thank you soo much man! really appreciate the help!
hey, so i am yet to take the last (test 6) practice test on the blue book app, does this video cover the questions asked in that test? if yes i would watch the video after giving the test.
The questions are only from tests 1-4, so there are no spoilers
This is so helpful! I last scored a 710 on practice test 2, but after watching this I got a 750 on practice test 5! Also, what degree of variance is there in the difficulty of the practice tests? How much should a score waiver by across tests?
That's great! I don't think a score will waver TOO much between practice tests. While it is possible that a jump from 710 to 750 is just a fluke, I think it's unlikely. I've heard stories of huge variance in others, but not much in myself.
please do a math version!
@@rameen589 I will work on this sometime in the future.
How do i go from 1350 to 1500 I been trying sm I still keep getting 1400's
I think the biggest factor is to ruthlessly target your weaknesses. You can do this by reviewing your practice tests, analyzing the explanations, and even creating a notebook where you write your mistakes and why you got the question wrong. You can also target specific weaknesses with the SAT question bank or Khan Academy quizzes.
Understand Concepts: Master algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry concepts. writing and reading and vocabulary.
Practice Regularly: Use official SAT practice tests and questions.
Focus on Weak Areas: Identify and improve weak points through targeted practice.
Learn Test Strategies: Use process of elimination and answer easy questions first.
Time Management: Practice pacing to complete all questions in the given time.
Review Mistakes: Analyze errors and understand the correct solutions.
@@DylanShaughnessySAT ruthlessly target our weakness, yes, my ghosh, WHY AM I KEEP GETTING THIS QUESTIONS WRONG
You all wish me luck
18:27 i don't know to identify the Clauses when i want to definite it seems Like it's not
important so i choose dependent and the surprise that is independent so i get it the questions wrong..
I think you're asking what an independent vs dependent clause is? Correct me if that's not what you meant. If it is, an independent clause is a complete thought (Example: I made a RUclips video about the SAT.) Two independent thoughts must be separated with a period, semicolon, or a comma followed of any of the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Dependent clauses are not complete thoughts that cannot stand alone, and they need to be connected to an independent clause in order to be a complete sentence (Example: After I studied for the SAT,). If you don't knowing what these are, you won't be able to connect thoughts with correct grammar. If this doesn't make sense let me know.
i don't understand the statement and restatement in the first , can you explain it please?
The only way a words in context question can be answered is if there's enough context to make an educated guess of what the word could be. The SAT often puts this context in a repeatable format. They have a statement, describing something, then they repeat the same idea again (restatement). In order for you to figure out what the word in the blank is, you have to find the synonym in the other statement. If the statements were all original, then it would be close to impossible to guess what the word might be. Since the SAT is objective, they have to input a synonym somewhere else in the text that pairs with the word in context. Does this clear things up?
is Subject-Modifier Placement the only grammar type problem where the sentences are specifically lengthy?
@@Vulpikk Yes! There are some possessives and boundary questions that are a few words, but the longest are subject-modifier placement.

Respect the RUclips grind man, just don’t promote on my comments again, thanks 🙏
Hey brother could you please make a similar video for math.
Thank youu❤
@@deepavenkataramanan8354 I will! I appreciate the comment.
Thank you for this video. I’ve been getting low 700s for my mocks now (got 710 in June, want to improve to retaking) and every time I would make a mistake that was silly (like not reading the full answer or grammar). This video will help me get a high 700 this month. Any tips on how to stay focused through the test and make sure to make no silly mistakes?
Wow, 710 is awesome! For avoiding silly mistakes, I found it helpful to keep a notebook dedicated to them. Writing things down by hand requires more effort than typing, which reinforces the lesson, so I recommend using a physical notebook instead of a Google Doc. Here’s what I did: I noted the type of question, the mistake I made, and how I would avoid it in the future. You might notice that most of your mistakes stem from a few gaps in understanding or common issues like reading too quickly. As for staying focused, do whatever you can to stay alert before the exam-get good sleep, chew gum, take a cold shower, or review a few practice questions to warm up. Good luck with your goal!
What about the question: Which choice best describes the function of the underlined sentence in the text as a whole? Does that go to the structure
@@arjungupta909 That would go with purpose. Often times purpose and structure are tied into one, though.
@@DylanShaughnessySAT ok thx. i like ur vids btw!
@@arjungupta909 thanks!
Can we please get one for math 🙏
Yes I'm working on it currently!
What was the answer to question 6 for the purpose of the text? 5:15
Transition word “but” is used for contrasting, so choice A
I don't get it, how transitions can help in the purpose questions?? Pls
For question 4:50, the transition word “but” is used for contrasting, so choice A
Transition words help clarify the relationship between ideas in the text, guiding the reader through the author's thought process. This can be helpful in purpose questions because understanding these connections reveals what the author is trying to convey, making it easier to determine the overall purpose or message of the passage.
Did you take the SAT Reading part with the long passages or the digital sat reading? Asking because obviously they're different
I took the SAT twice, once paper, the other digital.
1:30 So you can listen to artificial noises during the actual SAT test?
@@br0jy No, I should have mentioned it in the video, but I was referring to when you’re taking practice tests so you can get adjusted to noise before you take the actual test.
@@DylanShaughnessySAT ahh smart!
Hey loved your video, i always get stuck on inference questions and questions with graphs and tables, They usually come at the last when you have little time left and without reading the whole text and interpreting the graphs and tables you cannot really get it right. What to do in this situation?
@@eshaltahir5378 sounds like a time management issue possibly? I would try to focus on only searching for what you need on each question. So for example, don’t pay attention to the tiny details if the question only asks what quote would support the findings (in this example, just scan the text until you identify the findings, then look at the answer choices). This is a fairly generalized description so let me know if this makes sense. I gave tips on optimizing your time in some other comments on this video and in my community if you want to look through those.
are all the question here from bb test or the 1st question only?
I took them from Bluebook tests 1-4.

Guys, the questons shown in the video arent as hard as they would appear on the test. Do Khan Acad advanced regularly
Yes I agree. I intentionally pick easy questions to emphasize the strategies rather than the question itself. Don’t expect these questions to consistently appear on tests.

Practice in bluebook by doing practice tests. Practice makes perfect 👌
I agree with DriftySwifty, tips can help to a point, but understanding the actual material (grammar rules, question structure, etc.) is how you can boost your score to the higher levels, and that comes through learning using a resource like khan academy, putting it in practice through bluebook practice tests, and reading the explanations of your incorrect questions.
