SAT Khan Academy Problems

    • 4: I misunderstood the nuance of the word “successive” and excluded the correct answer based on that difference in understanding. If I had imagined examples like “successive 3 days” in my mind, I might have been able to think of the correct nuance.
    • 5: I misunderstood the range of the correct answer choices and thought it was only one sentence, so I omitted it thinking it was not enough. I should have looked at the range properly.

    • 10/11 0:00 left
    • 6: I lacked vocabulary and didn’t know the meanings of “symbiotic” and “concerted,” so I couldn’t solve it.
    • The time allocation was just right.
      • I want to aim for a little more flexibility in the science section, so I want to cut it down a bit.
• Literature

    • Time allocation
      • I solved the last two questions just in time, but if I had read more carefully, I could have had a little more flexibility.
      • However, if I could increase my reading speed in the first place, I could have had more leeway.
    • 1: I feel like I could have solved it if I had thought about it more, but it was a good move to solve it later because it was a problem that should be solved later.
      • Actually, I was able to solve the last two questions that way.
    • 4: I didn’t know “overtly” or “contemptuous,” so it was impossible to solve.

    • Honestly, I couldn’t understand the content very well.
      • Why?
    • I thought that even if I didn’t understand the content, I could solve it if it was evidence-based, so I tried my best, but it was tough.
      • Khan Academy may not be as evidence-based as the SAT.
        • (For example, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence for “not the main purpose”) (Maybe I just didn’t notice)
      • Also, solving it in an evidence-based way takes time (13 minutes is tough).
    • 4: Lack of vocabulary
    • 8:
• History
  • https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/tasks/6553747622674432
    • 2/11 0:00 left
    • Hopeless result
    • I still can’t grasp what the argument is saying.
      • The vocabulary was too advanced and I couldn’t read it properly.
    • Also, I felt a lack of vocabulary in the answer choices.

    • 9/11 0:00 left
    • Not as hopeless as last time, I could grasp the main argument while reading the passage.
      • But I didn’t read the second half properly (it was lucky that I only made 2 mistakes).
• Social Science

    • 8/11 N/A
      • I started when I was sleepy and felt my limit, so I went to sleep and solved the rest the next morning.
      • I didn’t measure it properly, so it doesn’t count (not a reference for time allocation).
    • 5: Honestly, I don’t understand the meaning.
    • 8: I couldn’t focus on the “may not” in the sentence, maybe because I was in a hurry.
      • I could only interpret it as “not,” but it had the nuance of “maybe not” as well.
    • 9: Maybe it means that what is being asked is not the main information in the graph.
      • But I’m not really convinced by the explanation. I don’t know that it’s an unstructured PA.
      • Oh, maybe it’s not about the author’s claim in the first place.

  • I didn’t deeply consider the meaning of “initial.”
  • I didn’t have much trouble, so I should have thought more deeply about each word in the question.
• https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/tasks/5935709721411584- Graph problem: I thought it would be easy, but I kept choosing the wrong lines.
  • I should be more careful and double-check.
• Grammar:
  • I misunderstood the meaning of a ”rhetorical” sentence.
    • Among various things, this is one of them, Understatement.
    • There are also various other examples.
• I tried solving a few, but the reading seems harder than my usual SAT Prep.
  • Also, I don’t agree with many of the explanations.
  • I wonder if they don’t follow the “rules” mentioned in SAT Black Book.
• The grammar section seems worth doing.
