Hey, I just want to say thank you for everything you have done for the community. I just got home after taking the SAT and all I have to say is that the second module was horrendous. All if not most questions that were supposed to contain charts and graphs are now modified. I believe I got the harder module since there were no charts and graphs for the questions, instead, they have paragraphs as choices that contain numbers. For the second math module, there were a lot of geometry questions and open response questions. I believe I didn't do so well because of how little time I have left after getting to the final questions. I will post my score in the comments after I receive them.
Second module of Reading or Math? I find the Reading graph questions can be very hard in the second module. There aren’t very many chart questions in Math anymore, at least on the practice tests, unless they’re just charts of points. Graphs could always show up, but those are also just charts of points. I’m curious which subject you thought was horrendous.
@@SetteleTutoring Both second module became hard later on as I made progress. For the 2nd reading and writing module, those command of evidence questions where a graph or data table is shown is gone and all stuffed into the choices as large paragraphs. For the 2nd math section, the final few questions were either very lengthy, multi-step geometry questions (tangents, finding a component of a 3D shape, etc.), or you couldn't pinpoint the value of a variable on desmos that would make two equations parallel. I've been prepping for the May SAT for two month so I wouldn't say I was well prepared.
Two months is on the lower end of what I recommend for prep, but it’s not nothing. I’m sure you learned a lot of important strategies and topics. The key to getting those last few hard ones, especially in Math, is to have big picture strategies that help in lots of different situations, instead of trying to learn specific steps for each question type. For example, I bet the strategy of making triangles that I talked about in my May predictions video would have been useful on the 3d geometry questions.
what did you score??
@@hazelnut2.8 1320. You?
I am sick of SAT UA-cam; however, I must watch Mike's video.
I prefer: “I am sick of SAT UA-cam videos; I, however, must watch Mike’s video.”
I’m sick of this shit .
But the I, however, makes it seem like there are others in the previous sentence or smth and you are kinda special or different among them. @@SetteleTutoring
@@idkwhy77 Yeah, I get that.
Two of you are my favorite SAT youtubers!
This just got me an extra 10 points cuz i always learned to separate IC; however, IC and i never knew why sometimes it was wrong having the ; before however.
Yes, this is a common question type in the hard module. Glad I could save you those 10 points!
That May SAT was tough.
Anything in particular that surprised you compared to the practice tests?
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
I didnot get how to punctuate ,however; vs ;however, I mean how do we differentiate is there a clear strategy
I’m not really sure what to say beyond what’s in the video. I recommend rewatching it. The “however” is in different sentences when it’s before or after the semicolon. Putting “however” in a sentence shows a contrast with the previous sentence. The strategy is to figure out where the contrast goes. It will be different every time, so there isn’t a rule you can follow for the punctuation that works every single time.
I still don't get it, I'm stuck between B and C
Use my summaries of the sentence. Which makes more sense?
B) Ebenezer is famous for inventing the G-chord. His promotion of jazz is more important, but he opened a jazz club in Berlin.
C) Ebenezer is famous for inventing the G-chord, but his promotion of jazz is more important. He opened a jazz club in Berlin.
I take it this applies to every transition word?
No, not every one. Some are in there own category, like “in other words”, which is very literally going to lead to a second sentence that says the same as the first in other words. The categories are helpful starting point for lots of questions, but adjust to the specifics of each question.
@@SetteleTutoring so are words like "additionally" punctuated like however?
I feel like you only said they mean different things.
@@AG45. Yes, those big transition words need big punctuation. We sometimes see this in the Transition questions, but they mostly use words like Additionally to start a sentence after a period, then followed by a comma. Swap the period for a semicolon, and it’s basically the same thing.
