Totally agree on the first reading tip, never got why people recommend reading the questions first as I always found myself jotting down more wrong answers than when I read the text slowly first
I totally agree! I consider myself to be a VERY STRONG reader, but my 2023 Princeton Review SAT Prep book (yes, you read that correctly, the Princeton Review) told me to use this strategy! On test day, it was a disaster. I was guessing, and when the time was up, I still had an ENTIRE PASSAGE unread! Truly an awful strategy, would not recommend to anyone. I am so glad this video has cleared this up. Thanks Preaching P!
Actually that was funny but it depends on a person there are some people that can never understand a passage if they read it or they get bored, it advisable for some people to read the questions first.@@kylemccormick3450
Okay I watched this video and attempted my second reading section and my score went from 300 to 380. The advice on carefully reading the passage taking 5 mins is soooo helpful. So happy I found this video.
Thank you for making this I hit that wall u described with a 720 in the English section partially due to my grammar but I also had 4 wrong in reading my ones wrong were in the science passages so I’ll purchase the book u recommended for that 👍🏻
I wish UA-cam gave me this vid weeks ago cus my first SAT in Saturday lol. I will take your advice for the exam and see how well I do man. Subbing instantly.
honestly, W vid bro. I was getting 600-670 prior for English Section with the reading being the biggest score fluctuater. As I get 800s consistently for the Math section, I am sure I can hit the minimum of 1500 now. possibly even get a 1700 with practice
my second language is English so understanding the reading section is actually a lot easier than most people... if you need help interpreting a passage here are some tips: *underline TONE words to help you discover the purpose of a characters attitude towards something. *understand the time period of the passage *if experiment, understand why the experiment happened and underline this *reading slowly and underlining (think with your pen) it helps your brain remember topics and brain interpreting it.
I know I'm here further behind most people watching this video, but I'm about to take my first SAT this October, and thank god that I met this video before taking the test. Thank you so much for your advice and sincere opinions. I promised that after October if my score went above 1500+, I would return to this video and thank you. Right now, thank you for one of the greatest pieces of advice I can ever ask for, promise that I won't let you down. 😊
@@sportsprogressive2656 I’m actually doing a self study with Princeton 2024 review, I’m not a professional but I recommend try different version with Barron, Khan Academy is also very helpful.
This is a very good video regarding SAT reading I really would’ve benefited alooot from it if not for seeing it for the first time 24 hrs before my exam . Idk why it didn’t pop up earlier to me ,anyways thank you very much for this advice
currently watching this video 1 day before taking the august SAT. I've been scoring consistently +700 on English but definitely wish id seen this video earlier. also that part about the 780 math and 1500 wall was so accurate LMAO
as someoone who got 99th percentile score in English without studying, all ur advice is 100% spot on. its also what I did differently from classmates who scored lower than me
I will give my sat 1 year later could give me some tips I could do to get high sat scores (like reading 10 new words and meaning every day etc,something tagt doesn't alot of time but can be done over a long time and will cause it to be effective)
I'm taking the December SAT this Saturday. I really wish I saw this video earlier 😭😭. I'm going to practice with these tips until the exam and hopefully raise my scores
I'm not even taking the SAT, I'm retaking the ACT for the last time, have a 26 currently, but this advice works for ACT as well (I have a current score of 35 for the reading section). This is legit what I do to have that score. This works.
I did your method in the test practice and I started getting 9-11 in each part in the English but time wasn't enough to either attempt or complete the last part
really solid video Quick question tho, what was your SAT study routine like with school and everything? (How much u studied, how often, did u do math more than reading, ect)
I was straight grinding about 5 days a week during the summer with 2 study sessions a day. In addition, I was doing a full length practice test every week. During the school year, I know it gets busy, but you have to get in your hours. I would study for AT LEAST 1-2 hours a day 4-5 days a week with a practice test EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Once it got closer to the exam, I increased this to two practice tests a week and i bumped up my studying hours to ~3hrs on several days in a week (I did this for about 2-3 weeks). As long as you're pacing yourself and not getting too burnt out, definitely increase the volume of practice significantly in the weeks before your exam. You will thank yourself so much for it.
My teachers always told us reading the questions before reading the passage will help but I had a different opinion. I never listened to that because like he said in the video 🙂
I may not be Asian but I am brown (dark Mexican American) and my mentality all the way from elementary state testing was I know I can get a 100 on math but I never pushed my self higher than 2 questions or a question and a mark of my essay in reading, this really opened my eyes to push myself in English and not just fall back on the fact I'm good with math
Can someone help me because the Princeton review textbook says to never read the whole passage for the reading section and I don’t want to follow that but at the same time I always get low 600s on English section when I read the whole passage like he said in this video what should I do
5:50 Would this still be true since the SAT is going digital? Instead of having a long passage and many questions specifically for that passage, I think it's now a paragraph and a specific question for that paragraph. (I may be wrong, but that's how it is on the official Bluebook practice tests now)
My whole problem is comprehension, it takes me a while to understand the point of the passage and so at least for me your strategy of completely reading and understanding won’t work but if it works for you then that good 👍
thanks sm for this vid! what's ur opinion on the complete guide to SAT reading by erica l. meltzer? it's more of a strategies book but there are some good exercises in it as well
Yo bro, I believe the first part about not reading the question does not really apply in the case of the Digital SAT since it has shorter passages and short questions. Might wanna check that out and let your audience know.
Guys.. I was scoring good,,, not each time I take practice test my reading and writing setion score keeps getting lower i have tests in 4 dayss.. I am freaking out here help me
This video gave me a 1700 ❤

Do you annotate when you read throughout the passage?
Are there any such books for ACT reading?
