An adaptive standardized test is the dumbest thing ever
Yeah you got that one way to close to the center
Why?
It’s only adaptive between the first module and second module. If you’re below 70% on the first module, they’ll give you the easier second module. But that means your score gets capped because you get less points for those questions. So it’s not dumb
@clumsycaden5708 but adaptive tests, by definition, are not standardized.
@@dadkinson that’s true but let’s be honest, if you get the easy module, you were never gonna get a good score anyways
genuinely, this is hands down the BEST video i've EVER come across on SAT period. thank you.
Hands down the best comment I’ve come across on any of my videos 🙏🙏
omg i was taking the practice test and questions became ridiculously easy and then i got a bad score 😭 no wonder tysm@@learnsatmath
OMG, I didn't know you could calculate mean and median in Desmos😳😳😳 thank you!
omg running an experiment to test the limits of the digital format is true dedication. thank you
2024 grad here (1580 on the old SAT) - this is crazy stuff, especially the desmos bit. thanks for the video and good luck to future testers!
what resources did you use to study for the SAT?
@@DPshrBasnet just khan academy! honors/AP english classes also helped a lot as AP English questions are (also written by the college board and so) very similar to some SAT questions in style & methodology.
Wwowww
Hi, online SAT lab rat here (int'l student, took it in March 2023). It was a lot easier for me than paper tests, especially for reading and writing. The long passages killed me. Math was about the same difficulty, but then again, Desmos. Good luck you guys.
thanks DSAT lab rat 🫡
What is the website I use to take the test?
You are so awesome I've rewatched your SAT prep videos multiple times because they fill me with so much joy and hope for the future. Not only are your videos funny, but they are GENUINELY HELPFUL. I have not found a single other video that helps me with SAT prep whatsoever, they all just go into example problems in the most boring slow way possible. If I had more time before my SAT retake perchance I would even book a tutoring sesh with you. I have my SAT retake in three days so if I don't get a good math score on it I probably will :)
I don't comment like this much, but I just wanted to say I love your videos!! this channel is super engaging and super helpful for us testers. thank you for making content!
you made me forget about all my pain and stress for this test. Thank you
Thank you SO MUCH! I took the digital PSAT in October, and struggled with the math section. I didn't even try to use Desmos, foolishly. I had no idea about all of the hacks-those are really going to be a game changer! I feel so much less stressed.
I’m so glad I found this video! Tho I’m not able to take SAT this year bc I’m in 10th grade rn, but this video really help me of what to know b4 SAT
collegeboard after seeing this: 👁👄👁
Phenomenal, huge confidence boost
Bro low key thank you for teaching me that Desmos had median and mean, that low key might help me out a bit fr
Those vine boom sound effects in a math video really really change the game
Going to take it tomorrow, wish me luck! Will update on the score.
how much?
@@x351l i dont think she updated us with the score
This was so eye-opening and entertaining, Sir!
I'm taking the PSAT in 1 and a half hours, and this video really helped, thank you
how'd it go
@airline.hamburger pretty good, I got 680/760 on the math and 540/760 on the english. Total was 1220/1520
I missed like 2 or 3 math questions, but I just straight up can't to english
@@Lt.Potatothat’s not “pretty good” lolll
i’ve recently started doing SAT as opposed to what my country usually does since i’m better at English than other languages and i did a test run for it not too long ago
the joy i felt when i saw that the “calculator” that’s given to you is DESMOS i almost freaked out
The most understandable video ever. Thank you so much
thx man, also crazy diamond jumpscare 😭😭
we are SO fucking back
How do you think colleges will take SAT scores now? Do you think getting a higher score will be something that won’t be as impressive
The scores are supposed to match the scores of the paper SAT (so 1530 will still be 99th percentile, etc.).
@@learnsatmath sorry I meant more like the legitimacy. Since we would have much more tools at our disposal and the test seems to be dynamic, do you think colleges would care more or less about the test.
I saw a college website that said they require a score of 1200 on the old sat and a score of 1270 on the new one
1:42 Lmfao I would kill myself there and then🤣
Did not know about the Desmos calculator thx dude😅
U r literally a godsend, thank you so much 🙏🙏
I don't understand how the slider in the desmos calc helps you choose the correct constant? Can you explain it further? (Time stamp 6:08)
Hey LearnSATMath, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for sharing this video! As a student preparing for the SAT, it's always helpful to stay up to date with the latest format and features on the calculator. Your content is truly appreciated! Keep up the great work. #SATPrep
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER !!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE ❤❤
tysm!! i took one for practice rn (im a rising junior) and was kinda scared it was the old version, but the questions you showed as examples were all on the one i took so everythings ok lol :-) i was also kinda confused in the grading system cause ive always heard that getting a question wrong would take 10 points off your total (1600) score, so when i saw that to calculate ur score they gave u a range instead of a specific number i was like ??? but this vid explained it really well, so thank u for helping !!!
edit: i also did it without using desmos so i was like super surprised when u said we could use it. its crazy because for like half of the problems you dont even have to think much about the problem itself but about how you can get an "easy" answer with desmos. kinda crazy they allow it ngl
Omg you saved my life🥺🥺🥺
I'm from Brazil so it's not common to take SAT test. This test have the power to change my life with scores, and the possibility to leave my country and toxic family in 2025.
Thank you!!!
Khan academy helps a lot, but that information helped me a lot too. Now I feel more confident.
I've been stressed about extracurricular activities for my application, I decided to write a book and publish in my country. But i need this scores to be perfect (I'm ambitious).
(English it's not my first language, i learn all on my own. Sorry if there's mistakes, I'm still learning grammar😅)
I love desmos so much and i am so happy they added it
Was testing fodder for the practice psat (not mad they gave 50$ for it)
The test felt a lot more laid back and less stressful
Same here haha
I'm glad they didn't neglect formatting for it. Imagine having to manually resize yourself if you adjusted the split between passage/question in the literature sections
Sarcastically wishing you unending smiles.
Test Format Changes:
Shorter test: From 3 hours to 2 hours and 14 minutes.
Reading and writing sections combined.
Two math sections combined with a Desmos calculator available throughout.
Section Structure:
Each section has two modules.
Module 1: Same set of questions for all test-takers.
Module 2: Adapted based on performance in Module 1.
Scoring Implications:
Module 1 performance sets a baseline for the test.
Missing easy questions in Module 1 can significantly impact the score.
Perfect Module 1 performance allows some leeway in Module 2.
Content Changes:
Shorter reading passages and more isolated questions.
Reduced emphasis on word problems in math.
Removal of imaginary numbers from math section.
Geometry and trigonometry focus on basic concepts.
Desmos Calculator:
Provided for the entire test.
Enables graphing, solving systems of equations, and more.
Offers advanced features like calculating mean and median.
Score Reporting:
Scores available immediately after submitting the test.
Transition to digital aims to speed up score delivery.
Omgsh thanks for this video, it’s so helpful.
wait, I was genuinely entertained from an SAT video?? *Tim Allen sound*
Thank you so much!! This is the most helpful sat video I’ve ever seen. I am literally so great full for you.
nah that mean and median thing lowkey helped bro tthanks😂
U made my stress go away 😭❤️ thankyou
This is the most HELPFUL video I have seen by far thanks
idk how I just found this video, but I'm taking the SAT this friday (the 15th of March, 2024) and I'm only slightly anxious now. Thank you
How was it? Yay or nay??
@@rosemartin902 I got 1080.
@@rosemartin902 I got a 1080
how long did it take to get your score?
@@lexi8003 just a few weeks
seniors taking the last paper sats : ._.
So, math section is all about how well can we use desmos?
A lot of problems are replacing algebra by hand with desmos, but the hardest part of the SAT Math is still figuring out how to approach problems--not the actual work involved.
this video answers all my questions I had for the sat and best of all it proved some of my assumptions on how it works. Thanks man!
For more information about how to master DESMOS, check out my newest video:
ua-cam.com/video/-pGNBb8M3LQ/v-deo.html
I’d rather do it on paper 😭
This DSAT info is actually interesting. Thank you.
I assume the digital PSAT/NMSQT will be like the digital sat?
good question - the digital PSAT will have the same structure, question types, interface, and length as the digital SAT. I can't seem to find out if it'll be easier than the digital SAT, but since the scoring scale is out of 1520 instead of 1600, I'd assume it's a bit easier.
@@learnsatmathI’ve taken both practice exams for the digital sat and psat and found that the psat was significantly easier
@@learnsatmaththe scoring scale of the PSAT is different?? damn i didn’t know that
ok now i need a video on how to use desmos to our advantage
Hello sir ! Hope you are doing well. Firstly, thank you so much for helping me in my SAT prep. Yesterday, I took my digital SAT as an international student. My bluebook scores were quite good. I scored 800 two times and a 770 on math on bluebook practice tests. In yesterday's test, the first of English was good. I expect 23+ answers to be correct. The second module was very difficult. Standard conventions, transitions, rhetorical synthesis, and vocab questions went well, but the core reading questions like inferences, central ideas and details and command of evidence were not that good. I mean there was an element of guessing while I was answering them. The first module of my math was perfect. I finished it 9 minutes earlier and rechecked all the questions. Again, the second module of math was comparatively difficult and I think 17+ answers were correct. How much score should I expect given the context and that my average score was 1460 on bluebook practice tests?
Hey! can you let me know your score? I plan to take the SAT soon.
@@jonathanvijay3766 hello. My SAT score is 1490
Can you take the sat online ?
@@nosaibaasraf420 yes, it is taken online .
I have to take the test for a college i picked i picked the paper sat because i am homeschooled i don't have a device
NOOOO IMAGINARY NUMBERS WERE FREE SCORE FOR MEEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
why am I laughing instead of making a study schedule
Would this be the same for the PSAT?
I am taking the sat on oct 7 in a week or so, will it be digital (short english passages) as described in this video? I read your reply in a comment which stated that digital starts march, however the email I recieved upon paying was "you are now registered for the digital sat".
it starts in march for the us.if you’re international then it’s already digital
I'm also taking it in October 7th but on paper, we got this bro
crazy diamond !
Anyone taking the May 4th
5:36 JOJO reference!
This changed my life. Thank you.
Just to clarify something regarding how each module is scored:
Within each module there are 2 questions that do not count towards your overall score. I forget the exact phrasing, but CollegeBoard is testing whether or not they are fair questions for use on future SAT tests. Think of it as a trial run before the real thing. So for R&W, of the 27 questions, only 25 of them count towards your score. The problem is, you don't have knowledge of which count and which do not. Same for math, of the 22 questions, only 20 of them will count. This explains the inconsistency in his scores when he was doing his experiments. You don't need to be perfect necessarily, but you can really only afford to get the 2 "tester" questions wrong.
Yes!! Definitely an important detail that I missed when I made this video.
I still dont like the desmos😂😂.. nice video man!!
OMG I DIDN’T KNOW U CAN DO LIKE 60 PERCENT OF THE VIDEO WITH THAT CALCULATOR 😭😭😭
HOLY SHIT!!!! IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💥💥💥💥💥💥
I think i have to be wrong on the exact 2 questions that doesn't count toward your scores
it’ll take days to get your score back because they still need to calculate the curve
According to College Board, the curve is determined before the test is taken. They don't decide it based on how well students do, but they try "equating" scores so a 700 on one SAT is the same as a 700 on another, even if one test is harder.
can bring a abacus as a calculator for math on the sat?
😂 you probably bombed that section😂
im not from america and trying to do it so i can go there, do i have to pay 55$ too?
Thanks a lot! This info is very useful for me.
I love the editing

are they allow to take scientific calculator to the exam room , teacher?
Yeah you can still bring your own
Hey buddy❤❤❤. Can I use THE OFFICIAL SAT STUDY GUIDE instead of THE OFFICIAL DIGITAL STUDY GUIDE to study for December SAT?
⚽⚽I registered for SAT.But iam confused wether I,want to register seperately for SAT subject test?how can,I,do that?😅😅

Great video man!👍
How should we study for it ?? I am planning to give SAT in this august and I have not started studying what or how should i start to get 1500+ marks
I want to apply for the SAT, I am angolan and I live in Angola, but I don't speak English fluently

Rare collegeboard W?
Coleman Forges
6:20 is the answer -27
Shorter reading passages, less long word problems in math, more time per questions and DESMOS?!
I quite like the digital SAT
Thank goodness imaginary numbers are gone.. I'm a tutor but that's the only thing I never really understood... lol

THE SCORE COMES OUT AFTER ONLY A FEW DAYS?????? wait does anyone know how much exactly bc WOAH thats an improvement 😭😭
We’ll find out this week lmao

guys i downlaoded a pdf from college boards website. i will give a dsat but that pdf has like 33 questions in the r&w module and i dont know how to use desmos in that test
Shi was easy asl
Why does this have to come out my junior year almost all previous knowledge of say prep is useless but my junior year they had to change it up
Thank you so much for the stats part, had no idea about it
IM TAKING IT TMRWWWWW
hypothetically if i studied for this like it was still the paper sat and now only have a day left to look for online practice tests where am i on a scale of screwed to over prepared..😭
oh nvm just got to the part about desmos we're so back
was the desmos overpowered for sat?
@@ffucuvuyygctctctxtc honestly yeah i was able to get away with bare minimum effort on like half the questions bc u could just plug them into desmos especially the systems questions
@@petrichorrrr what abt mod2 and what was ur score
@@ffucuvuyygctctctxtc i havent gotten my score yet but iirc id say at least part of it u could also get away w using desmos? tho there were a good amount of questions that rq u to actually think abt them and not just plug in equations like some abt geometry and transversals and whatnot. overall its not quite as bad as either part on the paper practice tests though imo
(if it's relevant most of the scores i got on my practice tests were in the 1590s)
Thank you for the video.
When the person came to my high school to teach everyone how to log in to the sat she said we would instantly get our online sat practice scores back so my smartass (knowing the answer) asked if we would get our actual sat scores back immediately. I don’t know if the rest of the class thought it was funny I but sure did!
omg thank you lotssss this was soo helpful
