Can you take the SAT after senior year? I might take a gap year after HS to gather my shit like finish up my essay, work on my application and prepare and give the SAT so is it necessary to give it in 11th grade?
@@marso9740Technically yes I believe. It isnt affiliated with your high school and theres no requirement that you have to apply to college as an HS senior. Anyone could technically apply at any time.
omg congratulations dear I'm so happy for you💕💕 I have my exam too in June and I'm scared tbh, I tried my best in the last 2 exams that I took and it was the first 2 exams I have taken in sat, now I'm going to take the third trial I'm terrified so much, could you plz tell me how you followed the tips and how you studied?
I love the consistency and hardwork put into this channel, Despite the SAT examination being so tough I passed mine with a perfect Sat score of 1600 . it took a real ton of hardwork all thanks to Mr Todd.
I'm a senior who never thought much of test scores but now I'm going back and retaking it this year. my original score without any studying was a 1070, my goal is a 1300 or higher as I'm studying this year and really want that better score for college applications. wish me luck :')
I'm on the same boat here, I got an 1140 without studying and I'm trying to study this time aroud and aim for 1300+ but i really forgot most of the math 😭
i will update all my progress here: test 1: 1160 (math 580, english 580) test 2: 1130 (math 600, english 530) test 3: 1260 (math 670, english 590) test 4: 1230 (math 600, english 630) test 5: 1230 (math 610, english 620) test 6: 1300 (math 660, english 640) test 7: 1300 (math 600, english 700) test 8: 1340 (math 670, english 670) test 9: 1280 (math 650, english 630) test 10: 1300 (math 630, english 670)
Hi! I’ve been kind of in a state of stupor since the 2022 school year ended. I’m a rising high school sophomore and this video got me EXTREMELY motivated !! The SAT is still relatively far in the future for me, but I wanted to prepare ahead of time. I will keep all your tips in mind! I wanted to thank you for getting me motivated again :D good luck in your studies !!!
This is exactly what I’m doing and I’m a rising junior. I took the psat as a sophomore, but I didn’t do so well cuz I only got an 820 😔.. now however, I’ve begun studying using khan academy and tutoring offered by my school. This is only the beginning, but hopefully I’ll do well in the future with some more motivation and practice. I hope the best for u and hopefully we can both do very well in a few months from now 😆 🙏🏻
Yall are different. Wish I had that kind of motivation in 10th grade. I'm a senior and have the Sat in 20 days.Just started prep and averaging around 1490-1520. Grinding for the 1550+ tho
this is a wonderful video! i cannot emphasize how important reading in your free time is! the first time i took a sample SAT (in 8th grade), i scored the equivalent of a 740 on the reading section. i hadn't studied beforehand, i was just a huge reader (not heavy literature either, just novels), so everything flowed naturally for me. I'm entering junior year in two months, and i'm going to try to take the SAT in 2023, before it goes digital. my practice book just arrived in the mail, and my goal is 1530+. best of luck to anyone else taking it!
Do you read any specific subject things or just story books and any kind of friction? I was hoping to increase my reading habit but am unsure what type of books will help
i was reading YA novels at the time; The Walled City, The Bone-Shard Emperor, lots of Agatha Christie, novels by James Rollins, etc. whatever kind of books you like is good, (except maybe comics?) - the goal is just to read more! @@sleep-mb9mg
This is the best video I've seen regarding SAT tips!! I take my SAT in two weeks and I'm shooting for the 1350-1400 range and this definitely gave me a lot of ideas on how to study!!
Just to remind you, if there are many applicants with higher score than u, then u wont get admitted. If u want to get higher score, u need to become asian and rich.

im gonna be real with you if you consistently study until SPRING TWENTY TWENTY FOUR!?!?!?! for the sat and don't end up literally writing your own questions and get a 1600+ somehow... i started studying properly a month and a half ago and im already consistently scoring 1400+... please take your time to do extracurriculars instead as they will actually help you to get into colleges more than the sat will.

@@d3rinnnWhen it comes to studying vocabulary for the SAT, I found a few things really helpful. First, I used vocabulary books and flashcards to learn new words. I also made sure to study a little bit every day and create a schedule to stay consistent. Understanding root words, prefixes, and suffixes was really useful too. Instead of just memorizing word lists, I practiced in context by reading articles and passages. Finally, I made sure to review and reinforce the words I learned regularly. Hope these tips help!

Hello, Joy Zou. I'm currently in my senior year as I'm typing this, and I've just watched your video with the rest of my class to take some SAT preparation notes, and I must say, you do make some great tips. Thanks for the tips. It's nice getting these from someone who can relate to this, even if this is a couple of years ago.
Hello! So I'm going to be taking my SAT in about 2 months. My goal score is a 1530+ which is really high lmao so this video really helped me get more motivated about studying and the tips are very nice. I'm going to start implementing them into my study sessions so hopefully I do end up getting the score I want :) Thank you so much again!
@@rihanachekili1906 omg hi lol I haven't checked this video in so long but I ended up getting a 1540! I did take notes on this video but I feel like a lot of my improvement came from just doing multiple tests and every time I got something wrong, I took time to know why I got it wrong and how the right answer was right if you plan on taking it GL!
I don’t know you but your content is dope and I think you are a lovely human. I was born and raised in Nashville, so I think it’s super cool you’re going to vandy on a full scholarship. Cheers, Joy! :)
oh my god same, i've just come from italy and i didn'y know the sat was a thing until a month ago, my dad wants me to get a 1550+ on the sat so thats what i want to get.
i hope too much tht you find yours goals with the SAT because you calm me down too much if I haven't even booked the test yet, so , yeah , anxiety, so i 'wll to comeback here everytime i'm nervous thank you so much
I just wanted to tell you that you are such a beautiful and kind soul. Thank you so much for these tips, I will keep them in mind when it comes time for me to start studying.
My goal is to score between 1200-1300 since that is a satisfactory score for me ( I’d be over the moon if I ever scored over 1400 ) however so far I’ve only ever been getting 1100 on the practice exams. I cannot physically grasp how some people can score within the 1500 range, I’ve been studying the best that I can but I’m not even pushing 1200 on the mock exams yet. At this point I’ve just accepted that I’m not academically competent but I’m gonna keep trying. My exam is in less than a week.
tysmm!! im doing igcse’s but my dad suddenly said i had to take SATs by the end of the year so i was COMPLETELY unprepared. thank you for letting me know about the testing dates especially! im not looking forward to this year 😭 6 igcses, 2 a levels and now the sats :((
You all have such good scores :( I recently got my results back and scored a 870.... safe to say I cried very much and now I'm determined to do better and make my family proud :)
hey this a great video!! it gives a great overview of studying for the sat, the best video i've seen. your editing is awesome too!! i liked the fast pace. anyway thanks for making this!!
Were you studying for the SAT while you had school? if so then how much time did you study everyday for the sat? compared to your school hw? thank u sm xoxo
ong as a junior i have sm hw, i expect it to be easier when i am a senior since i will have more free time. did u ever find anything that works for you/did you get a good score?
I have like less than two months to prepare but I have no motivation. Last time I took it was several months ago and I got a 1040 after study for 3 weeks 😭 I really really need motivation because I don’t want to keep procrastinating.
Can I ask how old u are because I’m 15 currently and am thinking of taking them at the end of year 11 when I’m 16 (I’m from the uk) and I’m not sure how old I’m supposed to be to take them
I have it march 1st. its gonna be my first official sat and hopefully my last. I am currently at around a 1200 give or take. Ill let yall know what I got after I get my, score back ill be studying more.
My problem is with the literature passages, the math section is very easy, and the science and history passages make sense, since they are factual and use data or historical/evidence. The problem with the literature Passages is that they are not factual, they cut an excerpt of a random book and give you questions, I know there is only one possible answer, but often I don't understand what it is talking about (even by using the line reference questions). What is the best way to approach the literature passage?
I would reccos talking to an English/literature teacher about that issue. For now, try to get a (free) copy of any chapter fiction book that has summaries availability online (e.g 1984 by George Orwell). Read the first chapter, write down a summary of what you read, and compare that to the online summary Hopefully this can help improve your comprehension of the literature sections
I second M Bot! I bought the SAT and ACT Black Book by Barrett and it helped A TON. He breaks down the structure of both tests, explains how to target and evaluate each section, and then has lengthy answer explanations of old SAT/ACT questions. Using only his Black Book for the SAT (and for like, 4 days of intense studying), I was able to make an over 100 point increase. If you’re able to study by sitting down and committing to reading a lot of stuff (either for a long time or very frequently), I highly recommend purchasing his book.
for me it’s the opposite, i get most questions right on literature, but questions wrong with factual reading and i don’t understand the math at all, i get so jealous when people say it’s easy
In my experience the best way to get better at writing and reading tests is to just read more. reading a lot of books outside of school, especially those that challenge you but are still interesting, kind of makes you naturally better at understanding writing and makes you subconsciously remember rules. it's a lot better than trying to memorize a lot of rules by themselves, but if you only have a bit of time that may be the only way.
I’m gonna be a senior this year and i didn’t study for it my Junior year due to mental health and simply not taking it that seriously cuz people were telling me colleges don’t check the SAT scores anymore.. anywho i’m retaking it this year, so wish me luck and the best of luck to everyone else taking it!!!!
hi! i prepared for around 2-3 months before taking my test. i would say hitting your goal score in 2 months is definitely doable if you're able to dedicate enough time to prepping or are used to taking standardized tests.
@@joyzou I highly think that it also depends of ones before level , I mean yours was decent so you succeeded , if I am now at around 1100 or 1200 how long would it take to make it 1500+
I am an international student and you might be aware of the new digital pattern of the SAT. I want to prepare for the new English section of the SAT with one question per passage and I need your help for that. Can you please upload a 15 Day SAT Digital English prep. Thanks!
me in 12th grade having to take the say because i moved and am now am homeschooled for senior year. mind you this is my first and last year of american highschool so i am STRESSING because every Uni here wants the SAT score 😭
I wanted to take mine during my junior year but my mom suggested me to take it in my senior year (which is in a few months) I hope to get something around a 1500+ so that I can apply for my colleges by then.
On my PSAT, I got 1390/1440, do you believe this could transfer at all on the SAT? How wide is the gap in difficulty from the questions in your (or anyone who's taken the SAT) opinion?
From my personal experience, the PSAT and SAT are pretty identical in difficulty. I would still say that you should continue to study and review as your SAT approaches. On my PSAT I got an 1150 and a 1270 on my SAT without any studying (I am taking my actual SAT for college soon). Continue to study and use Khan Academy for practice and you should get a great grade with ease :)
There was another young Asian woman with amazing scores on her ACT tests who said she did not get into Stanford because of the essay portion of the application tests. I believe much of the essay portion of the entrance exams relies on "general background knowledge". Whether you subscribe to this or not, no one can deny that a lot of weight is put on an applicant's general background knowledge. Maybe Asians should mention Ghandhi, and Mao Tse Tung in their essays, as well as maybe the excessive bombing campaign of the U.S. during the Vietnam War.
This is the first video i watched after planning to give SAT. It's so helpful Thank you so much!! Im an asian and I use the Casio 991ESplus calculator. I just have a question that what calculator will be better for SAT ?
I'm preparing for SAT now and will be very appreciative if you recommend me some study books you used during your preparation. May be Baron's, Kaplan or Princeton Review. Who's better?
I have a question, for practice tests mainly math are they all following the same concept as the actual sat meaning you learn how to solve a problem on the practice test right will how you solve that problem will be the same way you solve it on the SAT?
hey idk if you'll read this or if anyone will read this, but maybe I can get a reply. I have just been struggling a lot with school and just life in general and I have not been able to get into the mindset of dedicating myself to studying (or anything tbh). I took the SAT and I got a 1390. I thought that was it. The average is 1510 at my school (yes you read that right). I took it again a few months later with no studying just to get a benchmark. I got a 1490. I think my mindset just improved a bit. Now, I've been on the fence about retaking because I did poorly on the math (730), which is the easiest section imo. But I just don't think I'm there yet to where I can dedicate myself to do the studying. Should I retake? Will forcing myself to study help me to learn discipline?
*Just got my SAT score back two days ago. 1560 (English 770 math 790). l'm ecstatic. First and last time.*
How did you prep ?
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

what score did you get
@@rihanachekili1906 omg hi lol I haven't checked this video in so long but I ended up getting a 1540! I did take notes on this video but I feel like a lot of my improvement came from just doing multiple tests and every time I got something wrong, I took time to know why I got it wrong and how the right answer was right
if you plan on taking it GL!
@@soggydelafries 1540!

Most comprehensive explanation..
Thanks, Joy ❤
I just wanted to tell you that you are such a beautiful and kind soul. Thank you so much for these tips, I will keep them in mind when it comes time for me to start studying.
This video is so helpful! I had no idea where to start seeing that I take my SAT in month. Khan Academy is such a helpful tip. Thanks
My goal is to score between 1200-1300 since that is a satisfactory score for me ( I’d be over the moon if I ever scored over 1400 ) however so far I’ve only ever been getting 1100 on the practice exams. I cannot physically grasp how some people can score within the 1500 range, I’ve been studying the best that I can but I’m not even pushing 1200 on the mock exams yet. At this point I’ve just accepted that I’m not academically competent but I’m gonna keep trying. My exam is in less than a week.
same
Hey how much did u get
Your tips really helps me. I'm going to take my SAT exam in three months so wish me luck! I'm aiming for 1600 so that I can get over 1500+.
tysmm!! im doing igcse’s but my dad suddenly said i had to take SATs by the end of the year so i was COMPLETELY unprepared. thank you for letting me know about the testing dates especially!
im not looking forward to this year 😭 6 igcses, 2 a levels and now the sats :((
You all have such good scores :(
I recently got my results back and scored a 870.... safe to say I cried very much and now I'm determined to do better and make my family proud :)
I am taking an SAT this December, I hope to come back here with better results.
10:49-10:54 so that means no SAT RUclips videos?

@@monster_inside_of_me hey where r u from I need a little help
Thankyou so much for guiding us . Soon I'll send you my SAT scores.
I did the SAT in my junior year and I’ll have to do it again in my senior year because I messed up so bad.
owh good luck though, i'm sure you'll improve plenty!
@@shoon2604 thank you! Hopefully 😭
Thank you I'm going to apply these strategies over the next month 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Were you studying for the SAT while you had school? if so then how much time did you study everyday for the sat? compared to your school hw? thank u sm xoxo
ong as a junior i have sm hw, i expect it to be easier when i am a senior since i will have more free time. did u ever find anything that works for you/did you get a good score?
Thank you, new subscriber, I’ll be a senior this year, I’ll be retaking SAT’s thanks again for sharing 🥰
I have like less than two months to prepare but I have no motivation. Last time I took it was several months ago and I got a 1040 after study for 3 weeks 😭 I really really need motivation because I don’t want to keep procrastinating.
Can I ask how old u are because I’m 15 currently and am thinking of taking them at the end of year 11 when I’m 16 (I’m from the uk) and I’m not sure how old I’m supposed to be to take them
im taking the sat for the first time as a senior and its in 3 days and i havent studied one bit. Think ill get a perfect score
what did you make lol
I have it march 1st. its gonna be my first official sat and hopefully my last. I am currently at around a 1200 give or take. Ill let yall know what I got after I get my, score back ill be studying more.
Thank you so much for posting such informational and motivational videos.I really needed this.
I' m peprering for my SATS and this helped me lots so thank you ❤
this video is amazing, you really help me a lot
My problem is with the literature passages, the math section is very easy, and the science and history passages make sense, since they are factual and use data or historical/evidence. The problem with the literature Passages is that they are not factual, they cut an excerpt of a random book and give you questions, I know there is only one possible answer, but often I don't understand what it is talking about (even by using the line reference questions). What is the best way to approach the literature passage?
I would reccos talking to an English/literature teacher about that issue.
For now, try to get a (free) copy of any chapter fiction book that has summaries availability online (e.g 1984 by George Orwell).
Read the first chapter, write down a summary of what you read, and compare that to the online summary
Hopefully this can help improve your comprehension of the literature sections
Read the black book by michael Barrett! It might help. I’m reading it now :)
I second M Bot! I bought the SAT and ACT Black Book by Barrett and it helped A TON. He breaks down the structure of both tests, explains how to target and evaluate each section, and then has lengthy answer explanations of old SAT/ACT questions.
Using only his Black Book for the SAT (and for like, 4 days of intense studying), I was able to make an over 100 point increase.
If you’re able to study by sitting down and committing to reading a lot of stuff (either for a long time or very frequently), I highly recommend purchasing his book.
for me it’s the opposite, i get most questions right on literature, but questions wrong with factual reading and i don’t understand the math at all, i get so jealous when people say it’s easy
In my experience the best way to get better at writing and reading tests is to just read more. reading a lot of books outside of school, especially those that challenge you but are still interesting, kind of makes you naturally better at understanding writing and makes you subconsciously remember rules. it's a lot better than trying to memorize a lot of rules by themselves, but if you only have a bit of time that may be the only way.
Thanks a lot, I get a whole that I want from this video
I’m gonna be a senior this year and i didn’t study for it my Junior year due to mental health and simply not taking it that seriously cuz people were telling me colleges don’t check the SAT scores anymore.. anywho i’m retaking it this year, so wish me luck and the best of luck to everyone else taking it!!!!
i'm saving this for when the time comes😭
Thanks you!! Very good advice :)
Very good advise here. You’re so detailed
Thank you for your advices and motivation 😊

I’m taking the august SAT and your video is so helpful! Thank you thank you thank you!

A very useful video, thank you :)
8th grade psat score: 1050
10th grade psat score: 1100
summer between 10th and 11th grade sat score:
Hello, thank you for video, I want to ask you, how long you prepared to sat? Can I take 1500+ during the 2 months preparation?
hi! i prepared for around 2-3 months before taking my test. i would say hitting your goal score in 2 months is definitely doable if you're able to dedicate enough time to prepping or are used to taking standardized tests.
@@joyzou hey so would 16 weeks be enough then and doable with IB diploma program
@@joyzou I highly think that it also depends of ones before level , I mean yours was decent so you succeeded , if I am now at around 1100 or 1200 how long would it take to make it 1500+
Pretty insightful ❤️
This was so helpful thanks so much !!
Thank you so much!!!🥺🥺🥺u r the best💖💖💖
You're amazing ❤️ loved your video
I am an international student and you might be aware of the new digital pattern of the SAT. I want to prepare for the new English section of the SAT with one question per passage and I need your help for that. Can you please upload a 15 Day SAT Digital English prep. Thanks!
Thank you so much!❤
Thank you thank you thank you ❤I feel less stressed now 😅
Thank you so much! It was useful
me in 12th grade having to take the say because i moved and am now am homeschooled for senior year. mind you this is my first and last year of american highschool so i am STRESSING because every Uni here wants the SAT score 😭
thank you for making this vid!
Not me watching this the night before my SAT
I wanted to take mine during my junior year but my mom suggested me to take it in my senior year (which is in a few months) I hope to get something around a 1500+ so that I can apply for my colleges by then.
@mid_0 hii bro i just wanna know that does sat gives u full scholarship?
@@eeyle9281 I'm not really sure but I do know that you can replace your gpa with it
I’m a 10th grader, and I’m taking it next week sturday
good luck1
How's the results?
It helps a lot, thank you.
On my PSAT, I got 1390/1440, do you believe this could transfer at all on the SAT? How wide is the gap in difficulty from the questions in your (or anyone who's taken the SAT) opinion?
I'd also like to say this was a really well-made video, and I'll definitely be coming to rewatch it in the future!
From my personal experience, the PSAT and SAT are pretty identical in difficulty. I would still say that you should continue to study and review as your SAT approaches. On my PSAT I got an 1150 and a 1270 on my SAT without any studying (I am taking my actual SAT for college soon). Continue to study and use Khan Academy for practice and you should get a great grade with ease :)
There was another young Asian woman with amazing scores on her ACT tests who said she did not get into Stanford because of the essay portion of the application tests. I believe much of the essay portion of the entrance exams relies on "general background knowledge". Whether you subscribe to this or not, no one can deny that a lot of weight is put on an applicant's general background knowledge. Maybe Asians should mention Ghandhi, and Mao Tse Tung in their essays, as well as maybe the excessive bombing campaign of the U.S. during the Vietnam War.
Hello!
Thanks for your very great video.
One question pls
Did you take Sat with essay or without essay?
shes so pretty
Girl help I've been studying wrong the whole time and I'm gonna fail
thanks for this video, i really wanted to help my big sister pass and she doesnt have acess to youtube
What should be a goal score for an A and B student that is average in every subject? I don’t want to shoot too high nor too low.
why dont you wanna shoot high if youre not putting youre all in school which is easy the least you can do is put your all in tests like sat
Hello goodjob on reaching an amazing score on SAT
I wish I could watch this video earlier. It's only 2 days left for my exam. Wish me luck
This is the first video i watched after planning to give SAT. It's so helpful Thank you so much!! Im an asian and I use the Casio 991ESplus calculator. I just have a question that what calculator will be better for SAT ?
I'm preparing for SAT now and will be very appreciative if you recommend me some study books you used during your preparation. May be Baron's, Kaplan or Princeton Review. Who's better?
Does anyone know what a 32-34 on the act would be compared to sat? If so would these be comparable skills for a 32-34 on act studying?
According to the ACT website, a 32 is anywhere from 1420-1440. A 33 is anywhere from 1450-1480. A 34 is a 1490-1520.
Okay guys my sat for all is on the 22nd I’ll tell u guys what I got😭😭
I have a question, for practice tests mainly math are they all following the same concept as the actual sat meaning you learn how to solve a problem on the practice test right will how you solve that problem will be the same way you solve it on the SAT?
hey idk if you'll read this or if anyone will read this, but maybe I can get a reply. I have just been struggling a lot with school and just life in general and I have not been able to get into the mindset of dedicating myself to studying (or anything tbh). I took the SAT and I got a 1390. I thought that was it. The average is 1510 at my school (yes you read that right). I took it again a few months later with no studying just to get a benchmark. I got a 1490. I think my mindset just improved a bit. Now, I've been on the fence about retaking because I did poorly on the math (730), which is the easiest section imo. But I just don't think I'm there yet to where I can dedicate myself to do the studying. Should I retake? Will forcing myself to study help me to learn discipline?
