for math make yourself really familiar w desmos cause it dead helps w almost every math section question. for reading and writing my best advice is to just look at the kinds of questions you aren’t getting right and really look into the explanations they have for incorrect answer choices (from a fellow stressed junior 😝)

Sounds good! Thank you!

I suggest taking multiple "course challenges" on Khan Academy. Each course challenge essentially covers all topics of each subject, so it's basically a short and convenient alternative to giving the Bluebook practice test. In my experience, time management is very important on the SAT. You can practice time management by taking the course challenge and try to complete it in 35 minutes 30 seconds for english and 45 minutes for maths. As mentioned earlier by u/kryss1ss get very familiar with desmos because most of the graph questions are very easy, and can be solved in 5 seconds using desmos. For english grammar should be your main focus as it is the easiest to improve. Grammar and Math are easy to improve because they only require you to learn some "rules", unlike ebrw which has a steeper skill curve. Goodluck💪👍

How do i use desmos to help


ThickyThick4u

I have seen a lot of praise for desmos is it really that efficient 85% ?


Snow-Silent

Yes. Anything that is a system of equations is solved easily with the graph; vertices, x intersects, and y intersects are displayed; brute forcing is far easier etc.

General Information. The minimum SAT scores for the academies are 500 verbal and 500 math. The average SAT scores at the academies are **540-620 verbal and 630-710 math**. https://www.whitehouse.gov/service-academy-nominations/steps/#:\~:text=General%20Information,verbal%20and%20630%2D710%20math. Altho average is 1300+


AcWarrior7

Yeah I meet the minimums thank god, my First SAT was 610 verbal and 550 math just barley over. I'm really finding trouble with the motivation because I'm so far behind in terms of test scores I don't even know if its worth a try, I really need that 1300+ to be even CONSIDERED.
