I just hate it so much. My tutor isn’t helping me the littlest bit, we have TONS of homework from it and do next to nothing in our sessions. I dread them every week and they make me want to cry all weekend knowing that i have them on sunday nights. My tutor can’t physically laugh either, which is the creepiest thing ever. Its not that he’s just very focused on work its that he cannot laugh. He’s like some kind of SAT robot. Anyway, I just want to quit and i just feel like it could NEVER be worth the pain to get great scores. I’m going to music schools which only ask for the SAT scores if you want scholarships. They dont even matter.

Hi. I am a Sophmore high school student. I took psat and got 35%, 125.
In other words, I failed the test.

I prepared my test my memorizing some SAT words, and by tutoring with a person online. I tutored with a proffessional person, who chrages 40 dollars, but Im not improving. I learned a lot, but Im not improving.

Can you guys recommend me a new SAT online tutor, a site that you guys think can improve me??

My Weakness:
-Vocabs, dont know a single.
-Math, I failed, Im good at school math, but not SAT
-Writing is still terrible, But i know the rules/strategies for writing

Thanks!

I know the math section is out of 800 but my tutor told me to omit the last 2 questions of each math section. So I was wondering, what is the highest grade I can get on the math section if I use this strategy?

I just would like to know so I can see if I need to get a tutor or not! Thank you to anyone who helps!

My fiance took the asvab and scored a 32 when he needed a 50 to enlist. We are trying to look for a tutor but have had no luck. I was wondering if a sat prep class teaches similar stuff to the problems on the ASVAB. He needs help on math and english parts of the test. And the asvab study books are not what we are looking for.

Hey my two sisters had an SAT tutor and now I have them. They are a couple who teaches SAT, but I feel like I am not being prepared! Even though it is one on one, i feel very uncomftorable with them, and I am afraid to ask questions. When I do, I feel like I don’t get a clear response. I really want to take a prep class somewhere else or get a different tutor, but I am afraid my parents wont let me because my two sisters got into good colleges and they had this tutor. What should I do??

My friend stats:

She is from Uganda but lived in Sudan for a while until she was 10 then she came to America with her family.

What are her chances for her dream coming true to get into any of those law schools?

if i dont have enough money to afford a tutor, what are some alternatives to studying and still scoring well?

Ok. I am a freshman and I’m taking Biology. I want to do it by myself (with no tutor or any extra help) because I don’t want to become dependent on anyone. I want to start studying early, but I am sort of a procrastinator. So, I think I’m going to start studying soon.

Do you still think I have enough time to study and get a 750+, considering I am a freshman?

I’m trying to find good test prep for both the ACT and SAT. I have heard that Huntington and Sylvan have good programs but I do not know what the cost is, Could someone please tell me around how much it costs to do these programs and in your opinion which program is better.
I have a hard time learning from just books so I really need tutor of sorts. I already have a good score I just want a better one. I have a 28 and want a 31 at least

I need help prepare for SAT. Can you guys give me a link, for online tutor for SAT?
I want a paid online tutor but a really good one.

Please recommend me a good SAT online tutor. I need someone who has full preparation and like a really good tutor. I dont care how much they charge as long as their really good at preparing students for SAT. Thanks!!!

Here’s my situation: I’m 22 and graduated from a reputable college a few months ago. Now I’m living at home and in the process of applying to professional school. I regret not making many friends in college, because now I’m stuck at home by myself, sad and lonely. I found a job as an SAT tutor that pays /hr, which is great, but I won’t have the chance to meet new people or make new friends, aside from the high school students who I will be tutoring alone in their homes. So, I’m thinking of getting another job in addition to the SAT job where I can meet more people my age. Where should I work? Starbucks? My concern is I have a degree and shouldn’t settle for minimum wage. Or maybe I should for the purpose of meeting people? Or maybe at a restaurant where I can earn tips? Any suggestions? I live in San Jose, California. Thanks I majored in Psychology and I’m applying to medical school.

I got a 1900 total and an 11 on the essay. I’m signed up to take them again in October.

Math: 670
Reading:590
Writing:640

What can you suggest to get the reading in particular up? Vocab flashcards?

I already have had a tutor and a class, so I can’t pay for another. I have books as well.

Thanks!

I took the SATs, and I got 360 in critical reading, 480 in math, and 520 in writing. Should I get a tutor? I heard it helps a lot. I want to get into a top university, and I am going to be a high school freshie next year. How much studying should I do as of now?

I need help on the SAT. I am a smart student, but the SAT doesn’t seem to be my cup of tea. The sections that I struggle in are critical reading and writing. So, obviously, I am a math guy. Recent scores were 500 CR, 530 RE, 670 M. There is a big gap between the CR/WR and the M section scores. Any advice to how I can prepare overall in all sections to level out my scores? What are the best books to prepare? Should I consider a SAT tutor? Any suggestions are welcome.

My SAT tutor has a rule that when a probability problem involves "AND" you multiply, and when a probability problem involves "OR" you add. I wasn’t there for that class but I have the answers to the problems. I just don’t know how to get them. If you answer please show all steps of how you got the answer using the method my tutor uses.

Thanks!

Norma tosses 5 Mounds, 7 Almond Joys, and 4 Snickers into a bag.

1. What is the probability that Seymour will grab three Snickers and 1 mounds?

2. If he hates Snickers and will discard any Snickers he gets, but he will eat anything else, what’s the probability that the first bar he both grabs and eats will be a Mounds?

What about if you do these with or?

Thanks!
Actually Murf the Surf, I think you did something wrong there. The answers to these questions are:

1. 1/364
2. 5/12

Any other ideas on how to do this?

Hai, Iam non native American currently a freshman and plan to retake SAT I.
When I do an SAT questions, passages on critical reading sometimes makes me sweat and dizzy. What should I do about this?
Is there any good novel that can help somehow?

About the grammar, it does really trappy…it looks like correct sentence but I believe there’s something wrong with it…but I dont know which one I should choose! Oh boy…Is there any nice free website or somekind to boost my score?

Does apply for tutor help? In my city I cant find any SAT tutor and If i want to, I have to go to abroad and it cost quite expensive, would u guys recomend this?

Please any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks in advance

I know the SAT isn’t for a while, but I wanted to get a head start on prepping for the exam, especially the reading and writing sections. If anyone wants to be my tutor or has good questions that I could practice with, let me know! Thanks!
I know there are a TON of books on the SAT; I was mainly looking for electronic resources that someone might have (practice questions, practice exams, etc…)

My daughter just took the SAT and got an overall score of 1840 - 680 for reading, 650 for writing, an 11 out of 12 on her essay, and a dismal 510 in math. Obviously, she’s not going to be studying anything math-related in college! She has a 3.5 GPA and is in the upper 1/3 of her class of about 600 kids. Knowing that she’ll be going into an English-related field, how will colleges look at her SAT scores? And aside from hiring a SAT-tutor (is that even worthwhile?), how can we help her get these scores up to a more respectable number? She did similarly well on the ACT - composite score of 26, with excellent results in the English sections, and not-so-great results in math. She’s interested in attending Hillsdale College, Carleton College, Colby College or perhaps Middlebury. Thanks!

I recently got back the scores for my first SAT:
Reading: 770
Writing: 680
Math: 560
I’m happy with all except math, which isn’t really good enough for the schools I’m considering. I’m not a bad math student (straight A’s), but English is more my strength and the hard math problems on the test were a little overwhelming, especially due to the time constraints. I took about 10 practice tests from Princeton Review and College Board and I had an SAT tutor as well, which was helpful. Besides those things, what else should I do to raise my math score? 100 points would be ideal, but I don’t know if that’s realistic before the next SAT. Also, I don’t want to jeopardize my reading and writing scores by taking the general again unless I have to because I don’t want them to be any lower. Would a higher score on an SAT II math level test suffice, or do I need to retake the reasoning test?

taking the june SAT, but will probably get a tutor over summer and take the october one for the last time…any suggestions?

I’m going into college this fall and thinking of becoming an SAT tutor. What steps do I have to take? Do I have to improve my score?

I only took it once and got
Math 800
Reading 730
Writing 770

im going to become a junior ..

should i take an sat tutor ??

hellpppp
im clueless of what to do

I took the April 14th ACT and scored a 32, a grade good enough to land me in my target schools (upenn, northwestern, washington university in St. Louis). Although I’ve had a tutor for the past few months for the SATs, I’m not sure I can score better than the equivalent of a 32 and taking the SAT + SAT IIs might be superfluous and a general waste of time. At the same time, however, I’m from NYC where literally everyone takes the SATs and it might appear like I’m cutting corners. My college counselor suggested it be a "family decision," leaving me to figure out my own fate.
Should I take and submit the SATs or simply settle with my ACTs?

i am currently in 11th grade and find it very overwhelming between school, clubs, sports, sat tutor, homework, drivers ed and all the other things that come with 11th grade. How did you guys and girls get through it without feeling so stressed?
