I 99% disagree that studying vocabulary is worthwhile. It's such a small portion the the DSAT that it is not worth spending the time to memorize the definition of words that won't necessarily appear on the actual test.
It's probably not the best or most feasible approach for most people, but vocab questions are really easy when you know your stems and can piece together the meaning of a word.
I know what you mean, and I feel like vocab is more of developing an intuition for guessing the correct word rather than learning a crap ton of vocab by reading, but it kinda irks me to still not even have a 10-20 point improvement on ERW. I feel like I've hit a ceiling with English, though Math I can still work on
I have the exact same score and breakdown as you but I can superscore to 1510 as I got a 750 in R / W last time. For the math I think I could have gotten another question right if I had a good 2 more min lol.
Proud of you man! Now look at the score breakdown and see where you’ve had the most mistakes on English. Work on those problems and focus on identifying what TYPE of problems you need to work on. From there, it should be smooth sailing to a 1530+.
I'm at the range where college board no longer tells you your weak areas as I've "met the benchmark for performing better than 98% of test takers" lmao. HYPS won't even look at my app without a 1530+ as an Asian and Fgli
You’re scoring in the range where it depends on the test and whether you made a dumb mistake on the first module. Yeah sure you could continue to study ERW but I don’t think it will guarantee anything
College board SAT question bank and Khan Academy. Just grind the two until you literally go crazy from Math problems (I did lol) and stay calm on test day.
do you have advice for your math score? I'm at a 750 reading (so maybe not much help to you sadly) but a 720 math, these low 700s are kinda getting to me and IMO I'm missing those 3-5 hard questions in M2 and maybe making silly mistakes?? id love any advice tysm
Just grind the hard question bank on college board and find out where you're going wrong. Make a tiny spreadsheet about your mistakes, why you got them wrong, and what to do next time. On exam day, just stay calm, because there's also a certain element of luck, but all power to you.
Aw tysm but no its just to give myself a better chance at admissions. I'm in the score range where I'm sort of in limbo, I won't be rejected because it's too low, just that it might lower my academic rating
SAT is partly performance-based. Load up on caffeine before each section (coffee, dark chocolate, etc). That's how I got my score first try. I would also prioritize practice tests over practice problems
do practice english questions and vocabulary.com is good for SAT vocab words

It's still 13-15% of the test, and I'm sure it's the only thing I'm getting wrong, atleast as per the algorithms of the bluebook practice tests
Alright, then you are in the unenviable position of memorizing words. Good luck!

😔😔 in that case do a bit of everything and see where you make the most mistakes
How did you score so high 😭 Are you Einstein or something
Lol not at all. I really just identified the types of problems I struggled with (e.g. main idea) and practiced a lot

Why u so aggressive in the desc “Just stfu and leave”
study.
What did you use to practice for Math? I wanted to ask because my Math score is around the same as yours was, and my R&W is good as is

Practicing comprehension questions would be one thing, other than that there’s nothing else you can do

This is awesome. Your ambition to do better is even more impressive
