This video is very helpful. I keep doing this little practice test on Khan Academy and im litteraly getting 0's every time, with my PSAT in about a week. Please keep posting SAT videos!
Dude, you're a genius. We got the same thinking style... got a 1570... working up to a perfect 1600... Thanks man! A shame photographic like pattern recognition doesn't always work that well in language... gotta grrrinnnndddd...
😂😂 even me I'm surprised o . Even people with 1400 above want higher scores😂. Anyways maybe they're targeing ivy league schools. But 1570 is even good for ivy schools.@@Di_marswaggz
Thanks bro for keeping it real and getting straight to the points. Imma follow your tips and try my best. A video for vocabulary would be helpful too. Once again, really grateful.
You have no idea how much you've helped me. This guide is so damn good. None of the generic BS advice in this video AT ALL - you go straight to the point on how to hack the SAT, since it's just a game of speed at the end of the day. I got 1370 on my September SAT and I'm retaking on Dec 7. Have less than a month to score 1500+ but I believe in myself. The thing I struggled with the most last time was time management since I skipped or guessed like 5/6 questions due to no time left.
thank you, i realized that most of these tips are similiar to the ones i developed naturally through some practice but this was way more precise on what to do and saves more time
I followed your advice and got 1530 (730 in English) in October SAT!!! Thank you so much for your videos!! As an international student advice from a non native English speaker was REALLY helpful.
@@josmithajoseph1352 Are you an international student? If so, it’d be great if you can get 7.5 or higher in IELTS reading (or equivalent in TOEFL ibt) I think it’d be just the matter of experience and techniques after that. (When it comes to techniques I have nothing to add to this video)
Feeling so happy that I finally found an international student who scores such a great score on the SAT ! It's giving me some hope ☺ Tysm for sharing this ❤
I'm a student from SA and I wanted to do the SAT cause I'm planning on studying in the US in future. Hoped onto Bluebook without any revision and said: "Let's see how difficult this test really is." I brutally regret that because I was so lost in that test. Don't get me wrong, my Math skills are Okay but when it came to the reading and writing section, I ended up wasting so much time second-guessing myself I ended up with 1160 which is really bad so I decided to start practicing and hope to beat this score Ur Tips are amazing!!!
Thanks so much bro, you're truly God sent 🥺🙏. My SAT is October next week, so I'll be grateful if you can do a vocab and poems video before my exam. I just also subbed to your channel
Recently collegeboard has been putting fake answer choices in the notes, forcing students to read the notes so maybe don't use that tip. Other than that, this is a really great video! I will be taking the SAT in March so wish me luck!!
I went from a 620-650 ish acore to 720 on the practise test with your tips. Thank you so much. Your vidoes are really helpful . It would be great if you could make a video related to time management for maths as well
In some of the easier graph questions, you don't need to read the graph because if 3 choices all disagree with the passage/question, then you can confidently eliminate them, because the answer has to be true according to the graph and the passage /question. If it disagrees with the passage/question it won't be a correct answer even if you see it's true on the graph. However sometimes the choices are just pure data and you have no idea what they represent, in those cases, you should go back and scan the graph. DO NOT READ THE WHOLE GRAPH, these graphs can carry so much info that you don't need, so just focus on the relevant elements, quickly glance at them and then pick a choice that is correct for both the graph AND the passage/question. Most of the time the choices are true on the graph, it's true information, but if the question asks you to support the passage, you cannot pick a choice that is true on the graph but weakens the claim in the passage. You have to pick whatever matches with the passage then verify the information by looking at the graph. Basically, just treat it as a normal textual evidence and keep the graph for the end. This is a general tip for every reading question, be careful of that one word ruining your answer, sometimes a choice will be completely true, but one single word will make it incorrect. For example, I saw a question that asked me to support that amphibians are decreasing. On the graph, all of the rates of decrease for different animals were there. One choice said "Amphibian decrease rate is higher than all of the other animals combined " On the graph, amphibian decrease rate was truly higher than all other animals, but not all of them combined(added up together) This made the whole choice wrong. So you just have to watch out for tricks like that. These are in almost every reading question.
Thank you for your video. That was really useful for me as an international student. It would be nice if you make a content about inferences and 2 texts coming together.
Thanks for the response. Sure, I will consider this idea for future content. Currently, i'm trying to balance school and college apps so content might be slow, but I will try my best!
19:29 I'm not sure why I would skip the first module to get easier questions in the second one. Doesn't this just make me good at the easier questions?
This video is soo helpful omg!! Thank uou so much for creating such a masterpeice!! The only thing I have issues with is the Reading Section of Module 2, dont know how to get the hang of actually understanding the text properly. Any advice?
I advise you to solve as many practice problems as possible and REVIEW them very very thoroughly. Ask yourself questions like Why did I make this mistake? How can I improve? Also, solve questions without timing urself, slowly slowly until you fully grasp the meaning
@@Abdurajizu i took your advice and started the first module from question 16 i think it was, and when i tell you i had extra time left i am serious. I LEGIT SPED RAN THROUGH IT. Though i regret not doing the same thing with the second module. I don't know why my mind tricked me into thinking the second module would be easier, actually i know why, cz of practice test 1. Gosh i regret it. But overall, since this is my first sat ever i really tried my best under certain circumstances(i'm an international student as well and studied for it by myself and only started like less than a month ago). So yes i don't have anything to regret except that small slip up. Merci for asking
That was really helpful! My exam is after 2 days. The last score i had was 640 on one of the practice tests on 29th September. How much more do you genuinely think i can get? (: 💔 i spent all those days memorizing vocabulary and practicing for time
@@Abdurajizu I took the last digital practice test I have left (the fourth one) yesterday, and I indeed got 680 applying your time management tips. You don't know how grateful I am. Thank you 💖
I am actually planning to take both SAT and the standardized test of my own country (YKS) which the reading questions in that test is much harder and I can handle them pretty well but SAT being an English test is just what makes things so hard. Probably most of the international students who are planning to take SAT would agree with me Domestic students have so much better position than international students in collage application process

Use the digital SAT’s built-in Desmos calculator. Most questions needn't be solved by hand, which takes much longer and is much more effortful.
- Make sure to hone in on all the basics.
Practice, practice, practice. Make sure to take all six of the Bluebook’s SAT practice tests and Khan Academy’s SAT questions!
- Mentality is everything. Module 2 WOULD be noticeably more complex than Module 1. Prepare yourself mentally for that.
- Don’t become discouraged by your current SAT maths performance level. Your SAT score will definitely increase through focused practice. It took me three times to get to my final score of 1540.
I genuinely wish you all the best for your SAT. However, regardless of what you get out of 1600, it doesn’t define you as a person! That being said, I hope you attain your desired score!!!🤞🤞🤞💪💪💪

Part 1: Using the digital SAT’s built-in calculator has dramatically helped me. Most SAT questions that aren’t probability/statistics or geometry/trig can be solved using the built-in Desmos calculator. If you haven’t already done so, I strongly suggest thoroughly re-acquainting yourself with how the calculator works. Knowing how to graph functions and relations and finding intersection points of curves would save you sooooo much time as you don’t have to waste precious time and energy solving math equations and problems by hand. In fact, I’m willing to wager that the math section of the SAT is much more of a compatibility and general problem-solving test than a math aptitude test. Keep this in mind. For example, if the question gives you a quadratic and a circle and then asks you to find the intersection points, it could be completed in seconds using the built-in GDC instead of spending many minutes solving it by hand.
Also, if you are still uncomfortable with math basics, I strongly implore you to watch Khan Academy videos. To be candid, if you struggle with some Module 1 questions, you will struggle much more with the Module 2 questions…
Grind ALL the Khan Academy SAT math and SAT question bank questions. If you don’t know how to answer a question, watch one of the Khan Academy videos on the concept being tested in that question. Grinding questions is always the most effective way to improve maths, regardless of your math exam (SAT, IB, A-levels, GMAT, etc.). But don’t just do the questions. Dedicate a substantial amount of time to understanding the questions you did incorrectly.
The mentality is everything. Module 1 is always super easy, and you probably have much time left after finishing it. DO NOT let this supposed ease of SAT math ruin your mentality and flow. The first time I did the SAT, I became convinced that the second module would be easy just because the first was (in other words, my ego became vastly inflated during the 1st math module, lmao). As a result, I kinda bombed the 2nd module. Prepare yourself mentally for an increase in difficulty in the 2nd module. It will be much more helpful to use the extra time you have in the first module to rest rather than double and triple-check your module 1 answers. But that is up to you.
Finally, don’t become let down if you did poorly for the first time or the first few times of the SAT. The fantastic thing about this test is that you can repeat it multiple times. And with effective improvement, you CAN raise your score substantially. I took the SAT 3 times, and my score is 1430 -> 1490 -> 1540 (which I am so proud of). Despite 1430 (with a 710 in English and 720 for maths) being a decent score, I knew I could do better. So don’t be disappointed by your current results because you can raise it.

superscore are accepted by universities?
@@wafIeeeyeah they’re accepted by most universities
Man, you are hero of the english modul of digital SAT, very clear without water, thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH MY EXAM IS IN A WEEK. THIS WAS TRULY HELPFULLL!!!!!!! God bless you
Glad it helped! Keep me updated
This video is very helpful. I keep doing this little practice test on Khan Academy and im litteraly getting 0's every time, with my PSAT in about a week. Please keep posting SAT videos!
Keep it up. I'll keep posting
The best trick in digital sat i ever watched. it can see that those trick is from real experiences. Thank you !😊
My pleasure
this video is a game changer, thank you Jizu
Dude, you're a genius. We got the same thinking style... got a 1570... working up to a perfect 1600... Thanks man! A shame photographic like pattern recognition doesn't always work that well in language... gotta grrrinnnndddd...
God go punish you
1570 never do you?

😂😂 even me I'm surprised o . Even people with 1400 above want higher scores😂. Anyways maybe they're targeing ivy league schools. But 1570 is even good for ivy schools.@@Di_marswaggz
@@Di_marswaggzguy calm down na😂Ahan the guy wan excel
Thanks bro for keeping it real and getting straight to the points. Imma follow your tips and try my best. A video for vocabulary would be helpful too. Once again, really grateful.
Alright, seems like most people want to see vocabulary questions. I will definitely try recording one asap
You have no idea how much you've helped me. This guide is so damn good. None of the generic BS advice in this video AT ALL - you go straight to the point on how to hack the SAT, since it's just a game of speed at the end of the day. I got 1370 on my September SAT and I'm retaking on Dec 7. Have less than a month to score 1500+ but I believe in myself. The thing I struggled with the most last time was time management since I skipped or guessed like 5/6 questions due to no time left.
GOOD LUCKK THE TEST IS TMR
@@nh2848 ikr!! best of luck, im so scareddd
How’d it go?

Thank you for making such an informative video!! Prepping for the March DSAT and will apply your advices!

Just a question... how much did you score on your practice tests
I followed your advice and got 1530 (730 in English) in October SAT!!!
Thank you so much for your videos!!
As an international student advice from a non native English speaker was REALLY helpful.
Broo that's and AMAZING score. Keep that up. I'm glad I was helpful
How did you do that?? Im stuck with 550
@@josmithajoseph1352
Are you an international student?
If so, it’d be great if you can get 7.5 or higher in IELTS reading (or equivalent in TOEFL ibt)
I think it’d be just the matter of experience and techniques after that. (When it comes to techniques I have nothing to add to this video)

How did it go?
I'm a student from SA and I wanted to do the SAT cause I'm planning on studying in the US in future.
Hoped onto Bluebook without any revision and said: "Let's see how difficult this test really is." I brutally regret that because I was so lost in that test. Don't get me wrong, my Math skills are Okay but when it came to the reading and writing section, I ended up wasting so much time second-guessing myself
I ended up with 1160 which is really bad so I decided to start practicing and hope to beat this score
Ur Tips are amazing!!!
hi, I am from SA too ! how is ur level now? hope u will get the score and the scholarship u want !
Oh I lvled up Ig
I did another practice test a week later and got 1330
Still far from my goal but I'll keep on practicing

This video is very very useful. More than that, this is very encouraging. Thank you so much Jizu.
God bless you, it was super helpful. Hopefully you’ll record some videos on reading and math questions, and discuss the hacks and strategies
Okay, which part of the reading section do you want exactly?
This video is awesome. This video made me realise the mistakes that i've done. I hope; everybody right here will get a sufficient score. Gl
Recently collegeboard has been putting fake answer choices in the notes, forcing students to read the notes so maybe don't use that tip. Other than that, this is a really great video! I will be taking the SAT in March so wish me luck!!
I went from a 620-650 ish acore to 720 on the practise test with your tips. Thank you so much. Your vidoes are really helpful . It would be great if you could make a video related to time management for maths as well
Thank you so very much! You're a blessing!
Always happy to help!
thank you so much , you’re very helpful , my exam is next week on 7th october
Good luck. Please make sure to keep me updated

Thank you a lot for this video! It was precious
Always welcome
God bless you man...this is very helpful. Kudos 👏🏻
Taking SAT tomorrow. Thank you!
i really struggle with graph based questions. Please make a video on that as well. This video was helpful
Thanks. I'll consider that
In some of the easier graph questions, you don't need to read the graph because if 3 choices all disagree with the passage/question, then you can confidently eliminate them, because the answer has to be true according to the graph and the passage /question.
If it disagrees with the passage/question it won't be a correct answer even if you see it's true on the graph.
However sometimes the choices are just pure data and you have no idea what they represent, in those cases, you should go back and scan the graph.
DO NOT READ THE WHOLE GRAPH, these graphs can carry so much info that you don't need, so just focus on the relevant elements, quickly glance at them and then pick a choice that is correct for both the graph AND the passage/question.
Most of the time the choices are true on the graph, it's true information, but if the question asks you to support the passage, you cannot pick a choice that is true on the graph but weakens the claim in the passage.
You have to pick whatever matches with the passage then verify the information by looking at the graph.
Basically, just treat it as a normal textual evidence and keep the graph for the end.
This is a general tip for every reading question, be careful of that one word ruining your answer, sometimes a choice will be completely true, but one single word will make it incorrect.
For example, I saw a question that asked me to support that amphibians are decreasing. On the graph, all of the rates of decrease for different animals were there.
One choice said "Amphibian decrease rate is higher than all of the other animals combined "
On the graph, amphibian decrease rate was truly higher than all other animals, but not all of them combined(added up together)
This made the whole choice wrong.
So you just have to watch out for tricks like that. These are in almost every reading question.
@@bungeepete7393 thanks ...these were really helpful tricks
Hi, Im gonna take the SAT in 10 days. Wish me luck 🤞 🤞 btw loved ur video. been watching it 4 times now
what did u end up getting
Best video for international students in market
I'm glad that you found it useful!
Can you do a video about paired passages, I suck on those.
Nice video. Hope you can make videos on solving SAT questions.
So, a walkthrough of tests on bluebook?
Just posted a video on Words in Context questions
Very helpful... finally i found very genuine videos
Please can you make a video on command of evidence: textual and vocabulary questions as well. It’d be very helpful.
Thanks for the idea. Will try to do that

Done! Check the channel

I'm not sure why I would skip the first module to get easier questions in the second one. Doesn't this just make me good at the easier questions?
No, it gives you additional practice
This video is soo helpful omg!! Thank uou so much for creating such a masterpeice!!
The only thing I have issues with is the Reading Section of Module 2, dont know how to get the hang of actually understanding the text properly. Any advice?
I advise you to solve as many practice problems as possible and REVIEW them very very thoroughly. Ask yourself questions like Why did I make this mistake? How can I improve? Also, solve questions without timing urself, slowly slowly until you fully grasp the meaning
Thank you so much!! I'll come back in three months with 700+ in English
U back?
thank you for the video. i hope you make more videos about english section.
Yep. I'm planning have videos for each type of question before the november sat
It'll be lit if you do explanations for every single question type
That sounds like a great idea. I'll do it as soon as I can
insanely efficient techniques. you dropped this king 👑
Hehe let me grab that back
hello yes we need specific tips on how to save time on each question type pleaseee
thank you! i'm taking the sat in a few hours
How did it go?
@@Abdurajizu i took your advice and started the first module from question 16 i think it was, and when i tell you i had extra time left i am serious. I LEGIT SPED RAN THROUGH IT. Though i regret not doing the same thing with the second module. I don't know why my mind tricked me into thinking the second module would be easier, actually i know why, cz of practice test 1. Gosh i regret it. But overall, since this is my first sat ever i really tried my best under certain circumstances(i'm an international student as well and studied for it by myself and only started like less than a month ago). So yes i don't have anything to regret except that small slip up. Merci for asking
That was really helpful! My exam is after 2 days. The last score i had was 640 on one of the practice tests on 29th September. How much more do you genuinely think i can get? (: 💔 i spent all those days memorizing vocabulary and practicing for time
Great job! 640 is a great score. If you concentrate and apply the tips I shared, u can get around 670-680. Keep me updated!
@@Abdurajizu I took the last digital practice test I have left (the fourth one) yesterday, and I indeed got 680 applying your time management tips. You don't know how grateful I am. Thank you 💖
Thank you so much. God bless you
This is exactly what I need :D
Pls provide some tips for math section too. I have my DSAT on oct 7
I believe that the math section requires practice rather than instant tips
I am actually planning to take both SAT and the standardized test of my own country (YKS) which the reading questions in that test is much harder and I can handle them pretty well but SAT being an English test is just what makes things so hard. Probably most of the international students who are planning to take SAT would agree with me
Domestic students have so much better position than international students in collage application process
everything well explained bro........i have one question tho. did u use Erica Meltzer's reading and wring book while prepping?, thanks
Hey bro, thanks for that. No, I only used khanacademy and official past papers and bluebook tests
