PREACH!!!!! Race doesn't determine scores! It all depends on your work ethic, motivation, and positive influences on your life!
@Villainous Villain Yep! Maybe Asian parents push their kids to work harder but how could one specific race be smarter than another group? That makes no logical sense!!
you are absolutely right
@@shani8267 I mean asians are good at math
How about extra curricular activities? How many other things are you doing besides the class room.
Lol guys, it’s just a stereotype chill
idk if everyone has access to khan academy but that helps too and provides practice
I'm barely going to high school and I'm doing my entrance exam this Saturday(interview, math, writing and even a logic test) I'm here learning about SAT. I'm not in the right place but I've been using Khan Academy to study for the math portion of my test. It truly does help. I would recommend it👍🏻

hey emilly I have a question, is it too late for sat if I'm in my sophomore year, or 10th grade?
@@inzaghiscornsalad7034 I’m not Emily but NOOOO it’s not late!! You’re actually very early because the PSAT that does count for national merit, if you’re planning on wanting the scholarship, is your Junior year October at the earliest. In fact, you can still take the SAT in your Senior year, so if you’re in your sophomore year, you have about 2-3 years to prepare. I recommend taking summer classes for SAT prep because it really helped me and I improved by over 300 points for 4 weeks. It might be expensive, but if you have someone to guide you on how to take the SAT, you can go on from there and then know how to study yourself. It seems that you are already on the right track because you’re studying so early and watching videos about it. I wish you the best of luck!
I didn’t even know what the SAT was until sophomore year because my parents didn’t know much about how the school system worked here and I’m the oldest so it’s all firsts 😰
Literally same, I came to the US like a year ago and I'm so lost.

The SAT black book really helped me! I got a 1230 without studying the first time, then I got a 1400 the next time after studying. I’m aiming for 1480+ :)
Natalia Amador name of the book?
Does the book only have practice tests I don’t understand??
How long did you study? (like how many days before the test and how long each day)
Aditya Kulkarni it’s called SAT Prep Black Book Second Edition

not too late if you know you're gonna transfer in college cuz then you can retake the sat to get better score

Can't you retake the test?
You got a 1310 on your very first try?! That’s crazy!!

sanjana rayudu what job do u want?
How please??
@@imanekandili9740 I started preparing about 3 months prior and I didn't take any stress, because stress leads to nervousness and that leads to poor performance. I took 10 mins breaks after every hour of practice. I didn't study all those 3 months, on the weekends, I would go out with my friends and all. And I just went through all my practice tests the day before the exam and watched a movie that same night :). Basically, don't take any stress and don't push past your breaking point :)
Lmao, my mom literally paid 3000 dollars for my brothers sat prep class just for him to get a 960..
Kelsey - Money can't buy intelligence lol.
Car Fan I don’t even know why she was willing to pay that much
Kelsey - The real question is what school is charging for sat prep classes anyways. The 2 high schools I went too all had free sat prep classes. And even if one required payment, it would be no where near $3,000.
Car Fan The school I’m currently attending has free SAT classes during lunch throughout the month of February. But if you want to go during summer it’s 150$. Since summer had already passed, my mom looked at this tutoring company called Huntington and that’s where my brother went every week day. I feel as if we got scammed :/
unur unuri never trust someone on the internet who has no profile pic and says “trust me” 😂
HEY YOU! if you're reading this and you're about to take the sat, i just wanna say: *you're gonna do great*
if you want more motivation, if you wanna be hyped up a lil more, keep reading.
while i was studying for my sats, i kept telling myself:
"this is the only thing that's academically important to do that is *secluded* from school. meaning that there are *no teachers or classmates* to hinder/interrupt your learning. THIS TEST IS 100% THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT YOU PUT IN!"
so that's just really something to think about while you're going into this test. i wish you all the best
Thank you!! I’m going to study really hard to get 1400-1500

this is gonna be so off topic but how is your skin so clear !?!?!?!
I have this super great prescription my doctor gave me when I was breaking out, and now I basically never get any acne anymore even though I don’t use it on most nights. I just put it on when I can sense a Whitehead about to grow and it eliminates it within 2 days and doesn’t let it get fully developed! I posted a video on it if you want to check it out :) it’s one of my oldest videos. I will hopefully also be filming a skin routine some time!

Proof race doesn’t determine intellect:
• shes Asian and brilliant
• in Asian too but i am a whole fart and not even a BRAIN fart
Personal anecdote for an arguement.
Brandon Liao yeah, they made a pretty bad argument, but that doesn’t make their conclusion false
Lmao I’m Indian and I can’t do shit
Exactly I got a 950 on the psat lmaoaoa
You don't need proof for that
I think the asian thing is only because newer generation of asians are coming here more and more, and where people claim the American dream is false is only because they want it handed to them. Asians know how they got where they are, BY HARD WORK, and they want there kid to understand that too.
You're so right. I'm Asian, and this goes for me too. In elementary school, I failed my classes. Then in middle school, I worked hard to get the grades I wanted. Right now I have all A's except B+ in English.
Same thing with kids of African parents...Nigerian Americans, Ghanaian Americans, Kenyan Americans, Senegalese Americans...African parents are just like Asian parents towards academics except they’re black 💀😅
PlushieBlushie im nigerian n my mom is like this but compared to what my asian friends tell me, she seems like the most chill mom ever lmao
I am Asian, it actually spreads negative vibes and covers the dark side of the educational industry.
So true!!!!! also many Asian ppl consider education as like EVERYTHING so BC of that we tend to work harder. Anyone can do it, you just gotta work hard.

Thank you so much for this queen ! Really appreciate your tips and tricks for a higher SAT! unfortunately our school has given us PSATs and I always score really really really low, and it gets me discouraged. But, I know with perseverance and studying I can get a higher score in the SAT test and be proud. Thank you again for this ! (Also I’m a Junior!)
Leslie Benavidez aw I’m so glad it helped! You got it :))) ✨
I’m a sophomore and i’m so thankful for this video. I’m definitely using all of these study tips all summer! THANK YOU!
How did it go?… currently summer rn and I just finished my sophomore year but I’m worried 😭
I'm a sophomore and I'm trying to do the ACT and SAT this year and get a perfect score. I need to graduate in 11th grade.
I totally agree with what you said about the reading section! My SAT Prep Book advised me to do the same and I disregarded it completely because it just got very confusing and tedious...in order is the way to go for sure! I haven’t taken the SAT yet but hopefully my prep will pay off! Loved the video btw, very informative! :)) 💓
im so glad im done with this stuff, dude🤠*SENIOR GANG*
Wish that was me 🥺 have a great second semester senior year 😤😩
#SENIORGANG
For reals man same here
Gang gang
yep
I honestly needed this so much.
The 1st time I took the SAT, I did the free one provided by my school without studying and I scored a 1220. Obviously, I knew my score wouldn't be so high since I didn't study so I took that with a grain of salt. My parents enrolled me in an SAT/ACT Prep Course which seemed to really be helping me. I felt I was definitely improving and soon enough it was time to retake the SAT for the 2nd time, with studying of course. (June 2021) I recently just got my score and was so disappointed with myself as I scored a 1320. While I did improve by 100 points I was aiming for a 1410+ on the SAT. While I'm no longer in the Prep Course anymore, I'm hoping I can use your tips to get my dream score on my next attempt. Wish me luck!
Thanks so much for this video! I'm a freshman and I'm an Asian. Sat stuff really makes me so struggling and anxious but this video really helps a lot! Thanks again!
Been waiting for this !!! Thank you I need this to graduate
You’re so smart 🤧
Jeez, you are stress-relieving I had like 50 different depressions before I watch this vid thank you so much.
i’m a freshman, i think i’m going to plan out studying. i’m so thankful i found this video!
Just started my sophomore year... got a 1230 on the 8/9 PSAT which is a projected 1290 on my actual PSAT, and then a 1380 on SAT. Not good. Definitely needed this video. Thank you so much!
This helps a lot. Atm Senior year starts in August for me, got 3 free tries of taking SAT due to reduced lunch, I want go take advantage of this. Helps a lot. Ty huge confidence booster.
Thank you! I just took the sat and I didn’t get the score that i happy with but you inspired me to keep studying and trying really hard
Thanks for the tips! I’m a sophomore and I got a 1070 on my first PSAT and I was pretty disappointed tbh but I’m really gonna use these tips u provided and buy the SAT college board book!
When she said “you might only have a month left to study”
But...I have a couple of days 💀

Thank you so much for this amazing advice!!! You are so beautiful and talented!!! You are so absolutely amazing I love your channel so much!!!!! Congratulations on your amazing score you deserve it! You are going to do great things!
thank you for the "test scores /= intelligence", i was a 'gifted kid' growing up, it gave me a lot of imposters syndrome and eventually my drive to do good in school just ran out. now, every time i take a test my heart is pounding so loud in my ears i can't even hear myself read the questions in my head :( i might be/might've been smart, but my test/exam anxiety is so bad it doesnt matter 😭💜 ty for this

You were being wise to study for your SAT test early. Great job on your scores.
Very inspirational, will surely follow what every you said!!
We will follow you always ☺️💙💙
Sat prep is a waste of time and money. The sat isnt a iq test. If you get a low score it aint cuz u dumb. The test is basically testing how much effort and how well you can take the test tbh.
Everyday i study for multiple hours trying to do the strategies i learn from sat prep only to get a god damn 800-900 ovr.
Moral of the story is dont go to sat prep and just learn to take the sat.
Also they say the math is algebra, geometry and trig yet the way they word the questiond make it seem like its own genre
person below is gay I agree, it’s very rigorous with not nearly enough time to think
Yeah but the thing is, putting in the time to learn, even if you know it doesn’t measure your intelligence, is important because it can give you thousands of more dollars in scholarships.
This made me laugh omg💀💀
s b how you gonna go to sat prep and still get that low. I ain’t even know what that shit was until March junior year. Got an 1190, but like lowkey finna study a lil. Wanna 1400, but I agree, sat prep ain’t it
how long did u study for...?
Thanks for all these tips
I have the SAT in 3 weeks... I got a 890 on the PSAT, hopefully ill get between 1300-1600 . Time to study 3 hours a day everyday for 3 weeks. I will update you guys later, wish me luck!

OMG THANK YOU SO HELPFUL!
The only thing useful about sat prep is the math. The math teaches you how to do it and stuff, but reading is actually so subjective. The grammsr part is bs because they dont even teach grammar in school and most of the correct answers always have some bs reason

For those who used khan academy and took the SAT, how did yall handle the transition between taking the test on-screen and on a piece of paper?
I'm currently studying with khan academy and I find myself really improving a lot lately:) But at the same time, I worry that my results will downgrade on the real SAT test...So I ask u all, how did yall cope with this? I would love to know :)))
I started the SAT with a literally 650 and now I am scoring1180+. I think this low score is because of my lack of English but now I feel more comfortable with English. I still have more than five months till my SAT and I believe I can score a good score on it even though I am right now stuck in 1100 and can't score higher :3
I feel like this was super useful

Hello, I'm having a lot of issues on Maths, so I just wanted a guideline. You did explain it really well; and have answered some of my queries as well. But still, I haven't got the tricks to do a lot better on Maths as I'm performing in English. I'm using Khan academy for preparation and it is offering a lot of help and abounded with examples. But it still hasn't proved to be that much beneficial, can you offer me some help in this regard plz?
A senior I talked to who got 1520 on his SAT said all he did was get 9 hours of sleep and used khan academy. Really, guys, sleep makes all the difference.
Nice video, it had some really useful info 😊😊
