5 QUICK tips from a 1570 scorer:
1: FOOD FOOD FOOD. eat a nutritious and sizable dinner the night before, as well as for breakfast the day of.
2: BRING SNACKS. the last thing you want during your SAT is to be hungry. I ate 2 bags of cheezits and 3 packs of fruit snacks over the course of the test (in the breaks).
3: on the math section, do the FREE RESPONSE FIRST. I started with the questions at the end that arent multiple choice, as they take longer. get them out of the way faster: if you run out of time, it is SO MUCH EASIER to guess on multiple choice than free response.
4: If you are a coffee enjoyer, then start your morning with just slightly more coffee than normal. if you don’t drink coffee, make a cup of black tea. This slight increase will keep you alert but not make you jittery or anxious.
5: GET GOOD SLEEP. By far the most important step. You want a well rested mind to crank out those questions, not a cranky one off 4 hours of sleep. GET YOUR 8 HOURS.
100% certifiable straight 🔥 advice 🗣️🗣️
Need to get that rest for the whole week before
Oh yeah, killing some caffiene
I got a 1540 on my last sat and idk if it's placebo but I tend to do better on my tests without eating anything before them
@@as2896its probably part placebo part having a small sugar drop during the test
the cheez its and fruit snacks are unbelievably real omg i was gonna do that too. gonna eat those exact numbers now
Pro tip: bring a phone into the sat and play subway surfers while reading the passages to maximize focus levels
real
Recap:
Scoring: Don't cheat yourself. If you get 1 math problem wrong, take off 10 points. Cheating yourself only hurts you in the future.
Closing the gap: Get 800 on math before moving to english.
Mark up your textbooklet by underlining what the problem is asking you to solve.
Use your pencil to keep your mind engaged on the words . Underline the key moments to passage.
Boost reading scores:
Best test-taking technique:
Double check once you're done. Do more than enough practice exams and know how to pace yourself. Math: make sure you check your problems again. Do the short answer, then double check the mcq's.
Read: slow down when you notice you have extra time. It's harder to double check on the readingb ecause you have to read the passage again.
psychoogical tricks: take a final test a week before the exam and mimick what you would on exam day. Wake up when you woulld normally wake up and go for the exam at 8am.
Oh damn, I cheat myself in every SAT question I think I could've got right ☠💀💀☠

Im 40 and watching videos for my daughter to help with SATs I wish we had youtube back then and SAT prep help like this. You kids can help the next generation of kids get out of poverty. Realize that many impoverished kids don't even have an awareness about testing. Sharing knowledge with each other is what we are missing and thinking differently. That is diversity of thought ❤. Hopefully the next generation can push this world forward.....
It’s a bad sign when the dude considers at 1200 a failure
bro i’m saying 😹😹 im standing in the corner with my 940…
@@abdullahnizar6784 which isn’t a reason to consider it a failure, so what r u sayin 🤷🏾. That score would look good to people in the 10th grade who actually struggled to get there and last time I checked this video’s purpose was to help people but all I see is a prodigy who expects all of his viewers to be at his score range by their first standardized test. This guy got a 1200 in his sophomore year which is pretty much everyone’s first SAT. After that you have three years to get better. That is in no way, shape, or form of failure. If you want to toot your own horn saying “UgH I oNLy ScoReD a 1400 iM A mOrOn” then go ahead, but you’re only making yourself look like a douche bag especially when you’re video is supposedly trying to help people who haven’t been prepping since the second grade like this dude did most likely. So please I need more specifics on how a 1200 as a failure🧐🧐🧐. The definition above average literally is the opposite of failure if you didn’t know. But still,I need you to PLEASE explain to me how that score is a failure. I would really love to know.
@@GamingsMostAmazingSoundtracksit's a failure if and only if you're shooting for top schools. If you're not, and you can honestly say you applied yourself fully, then take pride in it.
That’s literally my goal 😭

How was ur exam my guy?
@@vdcaptain1349 A bit context, I was taking it in Thailand. Reading module 2 is killing me, man. I think I only got 1 question wrong for reading module 1 and the math section is fine. My fate depends on my guesses in reading module 2 which is Insanely difficult
@@arinq3228really appreciate ur response .when u said reading module 2 were u implying only on the English part of the exam or the maths to?Hey and only one questions on the first module is like very good pls give me some tips if ur freee for English man I’m struggling I’m getting like 21 questions wrong on English which is really really bad ,,

Anyone that gets a 1550 on the sat on there first try and calls themself a dumbass- 💀

Bro this is my exact situation and you explained it accurately, all the videos of kids who got 1600s always already had like 1500s a gem video💎 fr.
most of those people are cap 😂 For some reason people don’t value “hard work” and want to look all natural
there is no 1600's because that would be 1600-1699 and you cant have over 1600, and you might say but you can get the 1600 perfect score well that is one score so its not 1600s its 1600.
@@spoperty4940c'mon, don't be like that
bro I know all those kids try to call me stupid like im sorry u have better attention skills
@@alokahn921
@@spoperty4940 your referring to 1600s as the date, im referring to 1600s as a plural meaning many score 1600s.
I have no idea why none of these tips ever crossed my mind!! Thank you so much
Started 1200. Ended 1500+. Thx pratik
I absolutely love your vids! Can you make a vid just going through each part of your college applications?

I want to clarify something important: everyone has their own way of doing things. Watching videos on SAT tips and tricks doesn't help you sometimes. Most tips and tricks videos tell you their way of studying and doing the questions. They could be like "passage first, then questions" or "look at the questions first, then read the passage" and "the answer is obviously D for this question, look at the passage it mentions it" and think that they helped you. You might feel more confident after watching one of these videos, but in truth these videos do not help you at all if you just started studying for the SAT. The people making these tips and tricks videos already have a advanced mindset by learning from their own experience. For example, as I mentioned earlier, one of the people in the tips and tricks could be like "the answer is obviously D for this question, look at the passage it mentions it" which would seem really easy, but in truth, it's not easy at all. If you had just started studying for the SAT you wouldn't be able to identify and analyze the passage like the person in this video, which is a huge problem: the questions that you think are extremely hard are just basic questions to the "tips and tricks" people and they will think that you already know how to analyze so they will give you some tips like "look at the passage the author says blah blah blah and it is related to the answer choice D so the answer is D for this question" which would make the beginners think they understand but actually makes no sense for them.
If you still don't understand what i'm saying, here is how a tips and tricks person would react to a question:
Question: The author mentions "sharpener shavings" (line 10) in order to portray a mood of
A: unrestrained joy
B: sentimental reminiscence
C: bitter disappointment
D: cautious optimism
Tips and tricks person: C because you can obviously make a inference in what mood the author is trying to portray
Average beginner studying for the SAT: ohhhh i get it now (but actually it doesnt help him/her at all
I so agree with u I just started studying and it does seem easy but I know the test will slap me
@@_ttoottaa if studying seems easy to you, im pretty sure the test would seem easy to you too. SAT practice tests are the same level of difficulty as the real ones, and if you could consistently get a 1500+ on 3 of them you should also get a 1500+ on the real SAT's.
bro is malding
@@kooltyme no. I'm coping
bro i finished my standardized testing but i still watched the whole vid cuz i knew its gonna be a banger
I think we’d all welcome the 2024 update for the Digital SAT.
Bro this some good stuff
Tuff vid, happened to have bought the book yesterday🔥
Nice
this is genius thank you
Hey P, love the vid these tips are damn gold, I just wanted to ask about your opinion on music. Might be a little random, but for me the music I listen to does affect my studying habits and motivation to do things, and judging by your Kendrick video we have the same taste. I tend to see my academic values and performance start to slip and my motivation begins to become lackluster. I would give this type of music, with negative messages up, but I don’t know, it gives me energy to do things like work out, so I just wanted to get your opinion on it. Stupid question but thanks for the tips.
Such a W human being

So underrated.
Dawg said a 1200 is a bombed test when I’m struggling w a 1000
Fr. I’m stuck at 1170 and this is my last sat chance till I apply for uni
Bruh ain’t no way he got a 1550 and said that’s a bad score. Def not the video for my 1060 ass
@@evarussell6202 how did u do bro
You are not studying properly. Just prep better. If you have below a 1300, focus on concepts. Also, have a structured plan.
I took the SAT three times, and got 1320, 1340, 1330(1360 superscore). I prepped horribly and didn’t put the right work. Therefore, anyone can score a 1500+
Preaching P is the only one that keeps it real!
P.S. I took your advice and bought Dr. John Chungs SAT Math Book, it just arrived in the mail! 😉
For the making sure you spend all of your time part though, sometimes when I try to check my exam over and over again I begin to lose my mind and start changing correct answers. This would happen to me during tests at school but idk if the same would happen for the SAT cuz I never have time to check more than once :D
thanks for this
This guy knows what's up
Damn this dude got an actual good intro to this video
bro makes me feel smart 😭🙏
IM STRESSING SO HARD CAUSE MY GRADES R GOOD BUT I SUCKKK SO BAD AT THE PSAT 😭😭😭

thank youu
Prathik, what did you get on your SAT?
bro i can’t even score close to 900
Can you make a video on Digital SAT tips?
all Sats are turning digital right ?
Pratik, bro you really helped me a lot in my education: GPA, ECs, APs all while being dumb. I need help with SAT practice. I've watched your other videos on the SAT and a question came up: how much should I study? I am currently at a high-ish 1200s. I got the books you recommended in all your other vids, haven't started them yet though. I am going into my junior year and anticipate it's going to be tough so I want to finish the SAT early on. Should I take the August 26 or October 7? Do you think I can get that Ivy score by August or October? Or even maybe November 4 or December 2?
hey my advice would be to continue you SAT prep. dont keeo taking practice tests rather spend more time studying, polishing strong concepts and getting a grip on weaker topics. Focus on covering content and learning/understanding for atleast 2-4 weeks or until you feel like you know most stuff. then take a practice test and see how you have improved. Again focus on your mistakes and repeat this process atleast twice. If you start getting scores within your dream score range than schedule the test whenever you feel ready. My guess would be that you should go for either October or November/December since most people have winter break and stuff. Best of luck ❤
also you learn a lot of new and important math concepts in junior year which will help you tremendously in SAT so give it your best shot but dont fret. A lot of people give the SAT after junior year and that helps them score 1400+ easily
Please give SAT English tricks and tips 🥺
I like this video
8:23 my parents to me when they see I got a 1400
LOL
I have a question about the DIGITAL SAT, not the old one.
Does it contain questions like multiple paragraph reading?
Nope, it’s all short texts and paragraphs. check out college board’s Bluebook for *official Digital SAT* practice tests. Good luck!
8:24 LMFAOOOOO
bro...chill
I am an international student who wants to take the SAT in the next three months and I want a score of 1500 so that I can get a scholarship. Do you have a way to prepare myself for this score in the next three months?
Can you recommend books for sat？

Really need a good score

8:50 when concepts of time dont exist in your brain, the only valid seeming belief is that time is non liner and every occurance is eternal

I have a 1420 ( 640 ENG - 780 MATH ), Please pray that I get a 1500+ on December
I'm taking it too broo good luck
@@SenTrexeditsim taking it after 1 day pls pray ahah
How can you underline on digital SAT? you mention around 5 minute?
Just use your finger to point where you are
This strategy can’t be applied during reading section of digital sat
You have 20 minutes and you have 1 question per passage so you better choose the best strategy for yourself
@@saadatalimithani1336 Actually that's the method that's been working for me in my preparation. The annotating tool on blue book works really well, and you can just select a few words here and there to help you focus. Best wishes y'all!
U can highlight in the digital sat
Bro looks like he’s winning life tbh
Is gum allowed on SAT?
“Obviously no, that gum might be containing all the answers “
Bro I watch your videos in 0.75x😂😅
I ain't even gonna take the SAT why am I watching this videos
bruh i got a 900
Wtf I got like a 960 first time taking it
Why you do not reply on emails >??
how much time did you have left on the reading
any last min advise for me for tomorrow
I gotch you!
Do some exercises such as stretching, push ups or jumping jacks. It will enhance your mental health and you will sleep better
Test day: don't forget to drink water. Staying hydrated will help your brain to work better.
Bring snacks that for the test day.
After waking up and getting ready for test, review some questions you have done before. This will help your brain to wake up in the morning. Good luck!
5:49 when you actually have adhd and ppl literally expect a 1600 from you on your first try because youre a jee aspirant???
2 hours left
1 hour for videos ok how to get better marks
40 minutes rest
20 minutes study
Wish me luck
Good luck
