Hi! Thanks for this informative video-really appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing more prediction content before the October SAT. By the way, I’ve subscribed. Have a great day!
Thanks so much for this!! Really appreciate it. I'm an international student writing my SAT for the first time on October 5th, and I am really nervous lol. Just a quick q: do you have any tips for the reading and writing inference questions? Those are the toughest for me. Have a great day!
You're welcome! I actually have a master's in TESOL-I love working with international students. I'll try and make a video for you in the next week here, but in the meantime, I recommend doing your best to ignore details and focus on main ideas. Also, pay close attention to words in the sentence containing the blank space-like if the sentence starts with "therefore," the most important info is probably in the sentence or two right before it. Where are you from?
thank you so much! such a clear explanation and i learned many new fast tricks. quick question: why at 17:52 the answer isn’t C? is it not supposed to increase every 10 year?
If you look at the graph, you can see it increases way more than 10 cents every ten years (closer to a dollar), so if you divide that by 10, it's increasing that smaller amount every year.
I'm an international student writing on the 5th of October. I'm really nervous because i did bluebook practice tests and didn't fair well in them. I need to write this once because no money for a second one😢
Ending a sentence with a preposition is sometimes considered incorrect due to old rules of grammar modeled on Latin. However, in modern English, this is both acceptable and sometimes preferable for clarity and fluency, especially with phrasal verbs or where the preposition is essential to the verb’s meaning.
hey just wanted to let you know that collegboard decided to include false information into the answer choices of the rhetorical synthesis notes page. Make sure to look out for it as i lost a few points on practice tests due to this
Thanks for the tip! I noticed those more challenging rhetorical synthesis questions in the practice exams, but nothing like this has shown up on the actual exam just yet.
Interesting-none of my students who took the August exam experienced that. Perhaps it was a different variation. Again, thanks for the tip, and I will certainly be on the lookout.
Wouldn't the answer for Line of best fit be wrong and the correct answer would be D, because D says every 10 years which the graph is showing, not "each year"
No, the answer is A. Sorry if I did not explain it well enough in the video. Regardless of how increments are labeled on the graph, C and D are not true. D has the wrong slope numbers altogether (it uses the y-intercept), and C is wrong because we can see on the graph that every TEN years, it goes up by almost a dollar, not by almost 10 cents.
shouldn't the answer to the scatterplot question be C instead of A? Because the increase in 1 dollar doesn't happen every year but rather every 10 years?
No, the answer is A. Imagine you're hiking a trail that only has mile markers every 10 miles instead of every 1 mile. If you check your progress every 10 miles, you notice the average increase in elevation is about 96 feet every mile, even though you're only looking at your position every 10 miles. Similarly, in this problem, the equation of the line gives us an average rate of increase in minimum wage, 0.096, for every year. Even though the scatterplot shows the data in 10-year increments, the equation still describes the change for every year. So, just like you know your average gain per mile on the hike even though you’re only checking every 10 miles, the minimum wage increased on average by 0.096 dollars per year, even though the graph shows data every 10 years. So, the answer is A, because the slope of 0.096 tells us how much the wage increased each year on average. The yearly increase is steady, even if we’re looking at 10-year increments.
in the infinite solutions question, for the equation to have infinite solutions the gradient as well as the y intrcpt should be the same, so I think the a(x+8) should be multiplied by 2, that way the y intercept becomes 16. so 2ax +16, hence 2a=2, a=1. is this correct?
No-I explain in the video that a=2. If we isolate the coefficients on both sides we get 2x = ax. Likewise, if we isolate the constants we get 16 = 8a. You're RIGHT that the gradient (slope) should be the same, so that's another way to quickly conclude that a must equal 2 since the slope is 2.
Hi am taking october dsat for the first time , do u think the october dsat will be relevantly easier than previous tests, and can u make more predictions and hacks for english and math sections , thx😊
What's up, Fire Boss! College Board has been aiming to keep the exams at the same difficulty level, and I do not believe this one will be any easier. I'll be putting out another video every Friday-more hacks to come!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE
Amazing best teacher I have seen on RUclips , and also gets straight to the point.
That’s so very kind to say. I hope you slay the exam tomorrow.
You did an amazing job explaining, honestly surprised you don't have more subscribers
I appreciate that! I'm only 3 videos in, so hopefully it will happen.
Really liked how clearly you explained things, especially with the colon! I'm definitely subscribing
Awesome, thank you!
daddy you are the best!!!
Thank you! 😊
really appreciate the video! everything was explained very well and you taught me new strategies to solve the problems. thank you so much❤
I'm so happy to hear that. Good luck this weekend!
@@TestPrepDad thank you! :)
Hoping for 1450< above 🤞
I’m rooting for you! Let me know how it goes.
helpful and straight to the point. Nice job
Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful.
super well made video and thank you!
You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words! ☺

Thanks so much for the advice!! I'm from South africa🇿🇦
You're very welcome.
See you there 😊
I made that inference video for you: ruclips.net/video/ECkeeyvgiy0/видео.htmlsi=dCwGB7GyGVNpuqDU
Bro you are great!
Lots of love from Pakistan! ❤
Thanks, man! Lots of love from the US. 🤓
I’m having an sat test on 5 October and I’ll let you know if these are there or not!
Please do!
Were they ?

Hi, for the colons question, isn't "on" prepositional word so no punctuation can be followed?
Ending a sentence with a preposition is sometimes considered incorrect due to old rules of grammar modeled on Latin. However, in modern English, this is both acceptable and sometimes preferable for clarity and fluency, especially with phrasal verbs or where the preposition is essential to the verb’s meaning.

Will you do a video for DSAT November trail
I'm not sure I understand your request-could you elaborate?

@@TestPrepDad got it , thank you
15:00 why the answer is not c ?
Because every 10 years, we can see from the graph that the minimum wage is going up .96 dollars, not .096 dollars.
