- I talk about how I scored a 1500+ on the SAT: a timeline of things I did, what to do / not to do, books I used, how to improve, how I practiced, what you need to know before you take the SAT, etc.
I apologize that the video is all over the place, but I'll be making more in the future so feel free to leave any questions below because I feel like I didn’t cover that much.
Don’t forget to leave a like if this helped you and turn on your post notifications so you know when I post more videos :) I’ll be uploading more on strategies soon.

PREACH!!!!! Race doesn't determine scores! It all depends on your work ethic, motivation, and positive influences on your life!
@Villainous Villain Yep! Maybe Asian parents push their kids to work harder but how could one specific race be smarter than another group? That makes no logical sense!!
you are absolutely right
@@shani8267 I mean asians are good at math
How about extra curricular activities? How many other things are you doing besides the class room.
Lol guys, it’s just a stereotype chill
idk if everyone has access to khan academy but that helps too and provides practice
I'm barely going to high school and I'm doing my entrance exam this Saturday(interview, math, writing and even a logic test) I'm here learning about SAT. I'm not in the right place but I've been using Khan Academy to study for the math portion of my test. It truly does help. I would recommend it👍🏻

hey emilly I have a question, is it too late for sat if I'm in my sophomore year, or 10th grade?
@@inzaghiscornsalad7034 I’m not Emily but NOOOO it’s not late!! You’re actually very early because the PSAT that does count for national merit, if you’re planning on wanting the scholarship, is your Junior year October at the earliest. In fact, you can still take the SAT in your Senior year, so if you’re in your sophomore year, you have about 2-3 years to prepare. I recommend taking summer classes for SAT prep because it really helped me and I improved by over 300 points for 4 weeks. It might be expensive, but if you have someone to guide you on how to take the SAT, you can go on from there and then know how to study yourself. It seems that you are already on the right track because you’re studying so early and watching videos about it. I wish you the best of luck!
I didn’t even know what the SAT was until sophomore year because my parents didn’t know much about how the school system worked here and I’m the oldest so it’s all firsts 😰
Literally same, I came to the US like a year ago and I'm so lost.

Does the book only have practice tests I don’t understand??
How long did you study? (like how many days before the test and how long each day)

Im asian anf Im dumb lol
Luv Kqmsy I’m Asian and I’m dumber than all of you
Let's just say we're all dumbasses regardless of race. I'm black btw.
Lmao, my mom literally paid 3000 dollars for my brothers sat prep class just for him to get a 960..
Kelsey - Money can't buy intelligence lol.
Car Fan I don’t even know why she was willing to pay that much
Kelsey - The real question is what school is charging for sat prep classes anyways. The 2 high schools I went too all had free sat prep classes. And even if one required payment, it would be no where near $3,000.
Car Fan The school I’m currently attending has free SAT classes during lunch throughout the month of February. But if you want to go during summer it’s 150$. Since summer had already passed, my mom looked at this tutoring company called Huntington and that’s where my brother went every week day. I feel as if we got scammed :/
unur unuri never trust someone on the internet who has no profile pic and says “trust me” 😂
HEY YOU! if you're reading this and you're about to take the sat, i just wanna say: *you're gonna do great*
if you want more motivation, if you wanna be hyped up a lil more, keep reading.
while i was studying for my sats, i kept telling myself:
"this is the only thing that's academically important to do that is *secluded* from school. meaning that there are *no teachers or classmates* to hinder/interrupt your learning. THIS TEST IS 100% THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT YOU PUT IN!"
so that's just really something to think about while you're going into this test. i wish you all the best
Thank you!! I’m going to study really hard to get 1400-1500

sanjana rayudu what job do u want?
How please??
@@imanekandili9740 I started preparing about 3 months prior and I didn't take any stress, because stress leads to nervousness and that leads to poor performance. I took 10 mins breaks after every hour of practice. I didn't study all those 3 months, on the weekends, I would go out with my friends and all. And I just went through all my practice tests the day before the exam and watched a movie that same night :). Basically, don't take any stress and don't push past your breaking point :)
You got a 1310 on your very first try?! That’s crazy!!
Exact thoughts
its bullshit

Damn summer is almost over and I didn’t study at all. I have less than a year oh my goshdjfjfjfjfkf
@@bs9547 lol my parents sent me to this prep place and I learned nothing. I started with a 1200 and ended with the same score. Did all the homework they gave me and everything. So at least you didn't waste your time like me.
Same let’s do it
Alex Rossow did you understand it, just because you do something doesn’t mean you understand it.
have you taken it yet? if so how did you do?
*watches the vid the night before I take the sat*
I think the asian thing is only because newer generation of asians are coming here more and more, and where people claim the American dream is false is only because they want it handed to them. Asians know how they got where they are, BY HARD WORK, and they want there kid to understand that too.
You're so right. I'm Asian, and this goes for me too. In elementary school, I failed my classes. Then in middle school, I worked hard to get the grades I wanted. Right now I have all A's except B+ in English.
Same thing with kids of African parents...Nigerian Americans, Ghanaian Americans, Kenyan Americans, Senegalese Americans...African parents are just like Asian parents towards academics except they’re black 💀😅
PlushieBlushie im nigerian n my mom is like this but compared to what my asian friends tell me, she seems like the most chill mom ever lmao
I am Asian, it actually spreads negative vibes and covers the dark side of the educational industry.
So true!!!!! also many Asian ppl consider education as like EVERYTHING so BC of that we tend to work harder. Anyone can do it, you just gotta work hard.
this is gonna be so off topic but how is your skin so clear !?!?!?!
I have this super great prescription my doctor gave me when I was breaking out, and now I basically never get any acne anymore even though I don’t use it on most nights. I just put it on when I can sense a Whitehead about to grow and it eliminates it within 2 days and doesn’t let it get fully developed! I posted a video on it if you want to check it out :) it’s one of my oldest videos. I will hopefully also be filming a skin routine some time!

I’m a sophomore and i’m so thankful for this video. I’m definitely using all of these study tips all summer! THANK YOU!
How did it go?… currently summer rn and I just finished my sophomore year but I’m worried 😭
I'm a sophomore and I'm trying to do the ACT and SAT this year and get a perfect score. I need to graduate in 11th grade.
Sat prep is a waste of time and money. The sat isnt a iq test. If you get a low score it aint cuz u dumb. The test is basically testing how much effort and how well you can take the test tbh.
Everyday i study for multiple hours trying to do the strategies i learn from sat prep only to get a god damn 800-900 ovr.
Moral of the story is dont go to sat prep and just learn to take the sat.
Also they say the math is algebra, geometry and trig yet the way they word the questiond make it seem like its own genre
person below is gay I agree, it’s very rigorous with not nearly enough time to think
Yeah but the thing is, putting in the time to learn, even if you know it doesn’t measure your intelligence, is important because it can give you thousands of more dollars in scholarships.
This made me laugh omg💀💀
s b how you gonna go to sat prep and still get that low. I ain’t even know what that shit was until March junior year. Got an 1190, but like lowkey finna study a lil. Wanna 1400, but I agree, sat prep ain’t it
how long did u study for...?
Who wants to be sat buddies until the March sat 🥰

Jeez, you are stress-relieving I had like 50 different depressions before I watch this vid thank you so much.
I totally agree with what you said about the reading section! My SAT Prep Book advised me to do the same and I disregarded it completely because it just got very confusing and tedious...in order is the way to go for sure! I haven’t taken the SAT yet but hopefully my prep will pay off! Loved the video btw, very informative! :)) 💓
Been waiting for this !!! Thank you I need this to graduate
Thank you so much for this queen ! Really appreciate your tips and tricks for a higher SAT! unfortunately our school has given us PSATs and I always score really really really low, and it gets me discouraged. But, I know with perseverance and studying I can get a higher score in the SAT test and be proud. Thank you again for this ! (Also I’m a Junior!)

For those who used khan academy and took the SAT, how did yall handle the transition between taking the test on-screen and on a piece of paper?
I'm currently studying with khan academy and I find myself really improving a lot lately:) But at the same time, I worry that my results will downgrade on the real SAT test...So I ask u all, how did yall cope with this? I would love to know :)))
Thank you! I just took the sat and I didn’t get the score that i happy with but you inspired me to keep studying and trying really hard
This helps a lot. Atm Senior year starts in August for me, got 3 free tries of taking SAT due to reduced lunch, I want go take advantage of this. Helps a lot. Ty huge confidence booster.
I have the SAT in 3 weeks... I got a 890 on the PSAT, hopefully ill get between 1300-1600 . Time to study 3 hours a day everyday for 3 weeks. I will update you guys later, wish me luck!

YOURE SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO SMART MASHALLAH 😍😭
love the Bible verse included in the description. amen!!
You’re actually amazing
I honestly needed this so much.
The 1st time I took the SAT, I did the free one provided by my school without studying and I scored a 1220. Obviously, I knew my score wouldn't be so high since I didn't study so I took that with a grain of salt. My parents enrolled me in an SAT/ACT Prep Course which seemed to really be helping me. I felt I was definitely improving and soon enough it was time to retake the SAT for the 2nd time, with studying of course. (June 2021) I recently just got my score and was so disappointed with myself as I scored a 1320. While I did improve by 100 points I was aiming for a 1410+ on the SAT. While I'm no longer in the Prep Course anymore, I'm hoping I can use your tips to get my dream score on my next attempt. Wish me luck!
i needed this more than ever

no one:
me: in 7th grade in quarantine watching videos about college
It's better that while you still have years you know where you are heading in the future.
I am in my last year of high school watching this vid.
@@yvoniecalicaran5858 I’m in 7th grade too. I watch these videos for a weird interest I have about college and grades. Middle school grades in my opinion are easy to obtain, but high-school is harder, right? I hope to take a couple of clubs. Math and science clubs, a debate and speech club, and a chess club. Not because they would look good on my applications, but because I love them so much!
@@chloeoh1245 Too for you. Will I ended up being a wallflower I think.
I have nothing to put in my application tbh. I just hoping my essay gpa and sat score will compensate for it
@@yvoniecalicaran5858 What colleges do you think you would like to apply to? Do you have any references from camaraderie’s and family? I think it’s great to not know what to write in your essay. A lot of people try to take careful consideration towards it. If I wrote a college essay with the ignorant mindset I have right now, it would probably be a detailed 250 word story about a simple thing in my life that connects to the constituents of what I want to do in life as I age. It sounds comparable to a lot of college essays. For example, how a lot of essays start off with a simple game, person, or object that impacted on someone’s life. I would probably say something about Richard Feynman. How he thought the way I do now. How it doesn’t frighten me about the “not knowing”. If I knew everything I would want to kill myself to be honest. That would be a tedious life. If a college essay was about something that changed my life I would know what to write. Unfortunately, it’s not all that.
@@chloeoh1245 Anywhere in new york or PA I guess. I am still in my country but will be migrating to US soon. Grading system is really different in my country (I'm not even going to talk about how horrible our education here) but considering I don't have any extracurricular activities (because my school doesnt encourage students joining extra c for us to just focus on academics which is crazy!!).
And for essays I think you don't have to think of someway on how you can make it interesting I guess it on the person reading the essay to judge if it is interesting or not so I think it's better to be vulnerable and just show the real you. I think there are goods and bads in us (cliche but true) like the balance in nature. I might be messy and indecisive most of the times but I am also creative and open minded most of the times.
I dont know if this answers your question but I hope this helps
Edit: for college preference I'd go for schools within a low crime rate state. But unis in NY are just amazing (i mentioned something related to this but anyways)
I would go for schools with good education you know what I mean. I'm an introvert so I don't think any social factors will affect me ( except for bullying and racism coz Im asian)
Thank you for this! I'm a sophomore and focusing on the ACT right now, but this was still very beneficial!

What did you end up getting

Loved this video!! Thx so much😘😘
I feel like this was super useful
The only thing useful about sat prep is the math. The math teaches you how to do it and stuff, but reading is actually so subjective. The grammsr part is bs because they dont even teach grammar in school and most of the correct answers always have some bs reason
Please make a video on specific strategies for the English and Math sections! Also, thank you so much for the info!

Ingot a 1070 on the PSAT in my Freshman year, I’m almost a Sophomore now and I’m aiming for a 1550 on the SAT. Let’s grind this out.
Nice video, it had some really useful info 😊😊
Thanks, this will help a lot!🙏🏻👍🏻
I got 1030 and am a sophomore
do you think it is possible to get around 1400?
bape man same :/
I am not joking, but I raised my 1030 to a 1350 this summer. 2 months was enough for me for the jump. Initially, I thought it was impossible. I do have asian parents which helped push me a little bit, but you got this!

The SAT test does not define intelligence. There is too many people that think it is impossible. You need to pinpoint what your struggling at. When I got a 1030, I didn't truly try on the SAT. I didn't read the passages; I didn't know the grammar rules. I didn't do the math efficiently. It is hard to recommend strategies that worked for me as everyone is different. I would just like to let you know that there are no secrets to the SAT.
Her tips in the video are awesome. Use those to benefit your SAT prep plan.
For grammar, it is essential you know the grammar rules. Getting a grammar guide especially at a low score is crucial for success. After memorizing the critical grammar rules, writing is a breeze as a section. I score a 340/400 on that section which is good for me considering my 260 on the last go around. My reading has improved so much from just reading more and ACTUALLY READING the passages. 220 to a 300/400. Which makes a combined RW score to a 640.
For mathematics, it is literally formulas and practice. Memorize the formulas from a SAT guide and re apply. 580 to a 710 in mathematics here. A LOT OF PRACTICE TESTS are crucial. Recognizing mistakes and fixing patterns is the key.
Personally, I didn't like the Barrons or Kaplan. They are too unrealistic especially in the mathematics department.
Summer is a good time to improve your score. As a sophomore, I would focus on your grades as those are still equally important. You could allocate like 1 day a week for SAT (2-3 hrs) obviously change it up based on your schedule. In fact, it is great that you are starting now! This is the right time to start.
Resources I would recommend:
1) Khan academy (Link your college board)
2) Crack SAT (website for practice tests)
3) A good prep book that you can afford or the ones she recommended for practice
Good luck to everyone! Just know it can only rain forever. I was very unconfident. The sunshine will show from the practice eventually. All the best!
Damn. I’m a sophomore too and i just took a practice SAT from one of my prep books and got got a 970.😐😐😐
I took one when I was freshman and I got 1230
@@loplolalh oof i got a 1220 as a freshman
I agree with her that not all Asian are smart they just get push by their parents or they just work harder no offense but there a guy that Asian in my class he so stupid and lazy but sometimes he just so smart because he study. If you study hard and work hard doesn’t matter who you are and your race you can always succeed. 💕💕💕💕💕😀
Thanks, Kate!!
Going into junior year, school starts in a month or so, I figured it was best to start studying now!!!
