mate, i increased my R&W score from 610 to 710 in just one day by watching your DSAT R&W playlist....your techniques are really fantastic! doing standard english conventions first and then coming to the reading ques just makes it so much easy for the mind to progress through the module and plus i had like 12 mins remaining on both of my modules when i was done....you are simply amazing man! you've really saved my life with this! thankss so muchh

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.
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
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 💖
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.
Umm I have a single question. Do u recommend using the reading old materials and solving them while timing them or can we take our time as if we are reading an article? Overall the video was helpful. Ive heard many ppl recommending skipping questions and solving the grammar questions first but I thought it wasnt that helpful but imma try implementing this technique it might help b4 the October test.
Definitely do it without a timer first so you can fully understand the whole meaning behind the passage. After a couple attempts without timing slowly start timing yourself to build speed
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
Hello While reading the paragraph dont u seem to be lost . I read few sentences and then i dont know what is going on. What to do? I even read fiction books and while reading fiction i understand much of it but i dont what happens when i read digital SAT PARAGRAPH , DO U HAVE ANY WAY TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM?
Hey, I suggest you to do sample questions without a timer and read it as much as needed to fully grasp the meaning, if you train like this, you will be able to decrease the time required per question. Divert your attention from fiction books and focus solely on the digital sat. Make sure to REVIEW your mistakes on collegeboard using their explanations
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!

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.
In summary:
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.

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

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)
@@Sa4zhr4 no I'm not
best video on the internet so far for DSAT tips.
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 ❤

YES! WE NEED VOCAB TIPS! PLS thats where I lost most of my marks T-T
I've got a video on that
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.
Thank you so much for this video! It'd be greatly appreciated if you can make a video which covers vocab tips. My SAT is in 6 days :/
Just uploaded a video on that. Check it out!
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 💖

That was helpful. Thank you !
Always happy to help others
Great video! It would be nice if you write about different question types and strategies you took in those questions, especially vocabulary! T.T

Thanks for the idea. Will try to do that
Uploaded that just now. check the channel!
Amazing !❤
Thank you! 😄
I greatly appreciate your video like really. I love your energy lol. Thank you from Thailand!
Thanks!
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
Can you do a video about paired passages, I suck on those.
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
Thank you so much. Im so glad that I founded this video 😍
Always glad to help out. Make sure to check out my video on tips for the reading section
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!
Thank you so much!! I'll come back in three months with 700+ in English
U back?
Very helpful... finally i found very genuine videos
Umm I have a single question. Do u recommend using the reading old materials and solving them while timing them or can we take our time as if we are reading an article? Overall the video was helpful. Ive heard many ppl recommending skipping questions and solving the grammar questions first but I thought it wasnt that helpful but imma try implementing this technique it might help b4 the October test.
Definitely do it without a timer first so you can fully understand the whole meaning behind the passage. After a couple attempts without timing slowly start timing yourself to build speed
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
very useful video,thanks a lot
Hello While reading the paragraph dont u seem to be lost . I read few sentences and then i dont know what is going on. What to do? I even read fiction books and while reading fiction i understand much of it but i dont what happens when i read digital SAT PARAGRAPH , DO U HAVE ANY WAY TO OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM?
Hey, I suggest you to do sample questions without a timer and read it as much as needed to fully grasp the meaning, if you train like this, you will be able to decrease the time required per question. Divert your attention from fiction books and focus solely on the digital sat. Make sure to REVIEW your mistakes on collegeboard using their explanations
Genuinely great advice! Thanks a lot
You're so welcome!
