Taking the SAT for the Second Time

• SAT 5/8 @GKA

• I want to improve based on my First attempt at SAT exam.

• Goal: 1500+

• Study plan from 4/9~

  • For math, I should solve practice tests and review the topics I missed last time.
  • I will work hard on English.
    • https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/sat-reading-writing-practice
      • I will use this resource to review and practice techniques.
    • I will focus on vocabulary and study the TOEFL 3800.
  • Study flow (English)
    • Phase 1: Solve the remaining three mock tests on Khan Academy to get back into the rhythm.
      • While solving the tests, I will watch the tutorials on Khan Academy.
    • Phase 2: Solve the mock tests from Barrons.
    • Phase 3: Read the Black Book.

• Results

SAT, Reading: I completely failed in time management and couldn’t finish. Writing: Okay. Math: I thought I had plenty of time, so I was solving the questions very slowly. But towards the end, some difficult problems came up and I couldn’t solve them in time, resulting in running out of time. I’m feeling down because of these results. @blu3mo May 8, 2021

• As I expected, I probably scored lower than last time.

• My time management was a mess.

  • I couldn’t solve about 70% of the questions in the last major section, like Reading.

• However, it was better than I thought.

  • 1480
  • Although my goal was to exceed 1500, I wasn’t expecting much, so I’m happy that my score improved.
  • Even though my Reading section was a disaster, I got 700, so I guess my Writing section was pretty good.
  • I’m really frustrated with Math. If I hadn’t underestimated it, I would have scored 800.

• Improvements

  • I need to manage my time better in the Reading section.
  • I shouldn’t underestimate Math.
  • I should also do Third Attempt at SAT Exam.

• Additional note

  • I was wondering about the breakdown of my scores, but I found it.
  • 
  • So, my Reading section is the lowest.
    • Wait, was my Writing section really that good?
