hi aisha,

you can definitely do it, as the sat is meant to capture the education you received along the way, not something you specifically have to do for the test (though sat-specific study certainly helps). if you can get some official sat materials to study from, and you explore resources on the internet, too, you can do this! 🙂

hi dana,

honestly, the amount of time required to reach your target score varies student by student. two months can be sufficient, but i would first recommend that you take a mock exam to see where you stand compared to your target score. then, you can have a better idea of how much work you’ll need to put into your studies (e.g., hours per day, number of days). after your mock exam, if you believe you need more time to prepare, then it may be better to postpone your exam. however, if you feel confident, then you should definitely proceed with the scheduled date.

wow! what ambitious daughter you have. and what a great parent you are! 🙂 i have two main tips: first, make sure your daughter targets specific types of math problems that she hasn’t studied yet. she may be very good at math that she’s already completed coursework in. but there are probably some sat math areas where she still needs to learn and grow. you can go through a checklist of the different kinds of math problems on the sat by going here.

my other piece of advice is to make sure you’re using as many real sat practice tests and questions as possible. by “real,” i mean the practice materials sponsored by the college board. the khan academy tests qualify as real practice materials, as khan has an official partnership with the college board. you can see a list of all official sat practice on the college board website.

my 12 yr old daughter( going to be in 7th grade in coming school year)
planning to take sat on dec 3rd to participate in duke tip. without any preparation, she took 1st practice test on khan academy on july 20th and got 1160(590 – reading,70- math).

now, she is practicing on khan academy regularly and able to answer 100 % of skill level 3 questions and 85% of skill level 4.

math seems she is still getting around close to 70%, seems she needs more practice there. her goal is to get combined score of 1300 plus.

she will take 2nd practice test on august 14th. she completed algebra 1 in 6th grade and geometry during this summer.

appreciate if you can recommend any tips and points us towards good material.

thanks in advance!

sorry to hear that your math scores weren’t where they needed to be when you took the test. that’s always frustrating. it sounds like you’re on the right track though. since it’s summer, i would take as much time each day as you can to study math. certainly at least 2 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. more if you can. practicing problems, watching video lessons and re-watching video lessons are all good things to do if you want to boost your sat math score… and all of these activities can be pretty time consuming.

thank you!

i’m an indian student in grade 11, and i plan on takiing the sat on january 23. i’ve taken a diagnostic test and practiced a little, but i still haven’t started studying for the test with full focus. i’m pretty good at math and writing. but cr is the one that causes problems. with about a month and a half left, what should be my study routine to score around 2200. i’m aiming for top schools in the us. 
thank you!
