I love the consistency and hardwork put into this channel, Despite the SAT examination being so tough I passed mine with a perfect Sat score of 1600 . it took a real ton of hardwork all thanks to Mr Todd.
@@robbyandrews6318 The sat isn’t about knowing the material, it’s about how you manage your time to answer the questions. People don’t get shit scores because they don’t know the materials, rather they don’t get enough time to remember the materials. And the makers of sat know this. The same thing applies with the English section of the exam.

@@jamesliamedward5915 SAT Exams won't bother you or be your problem if you work with with Someone like Mr Todd N. He's God sent he saved me from taking the test for the 2nd time .But I think he's no longer taking students
I've actually taken this exact practice test, so this walkthrough really showed me what I did wrong and explained some concepts I realize I didn't understand completely. I found it very helpful; thank you so much :)
I had always thought that SAT was supposed to be tough,but after I see this,I realised that I have studied almost all of it by 8th grade. Nice video btw
@@xtg-cm4pg In general, most high-school students will start applications during the Fall and Winter of their Senior year and registrations close towards Summer.
Wow. Tomorrow is my test and I have been studying all summer. This video was more helpful than all my summer studying combined (I took a SAT prep course at my school also). I mean it. Thank you!
I've taken the SAT 3 times. The most frustrating part about the SAT is that unless you're at an advanced level in math or above the "normal" level for your grade, there's a high chance you won't understand or even recognize over 50% of the material and questions. The first time I took it I barely understood a lot of the math on it because I wasn't even completely through Algebra 2. Long story short I hate standardized testing and I feel as though a lot of kids are set up for failure T_T. I'm lucky I got to take it multiple times this year since I understand most of the math now.
@@cj2708 I'm not saying it should be easy. I'm saying it should be doable. It's understandable if you use the knowledge you have and apply it to something new that you may recognize but not understand. It's different when you have no idea what you're looking at or what certain things mean. There's definitely ways to prepare for the SAT but you're not prepared to do math you've never even heard of.
damn if SAT is the only thing you need to go to college in the us yall have it easy.Where im from we take our exams from literally everything you learn in highschool maths up to integral calculus
@@fratelerece1237 nah, for the good unis SAT is just a screening method. GPA/extracurricular pursuits and personal statements are what really matters. SAT math not difficult at all, and calculus is offered as an AP course, which has a corresponding test you can take to determine your mastery of the subject.
I’m a senior and I had forgotten an immense amount this and to be honest, I’m still not confident in my Algebra ability. Hopefully my English will carry me 😅. This at least gave me a way to try to approach the math portion. Thank you.
@@shroom9982 I ended up with an 1160. I believe it was a 540 for math and a 620 for English. Predictably, the SAT featured some math concepts that I had forgotten about, so if you want an exceptional score of like 1300+ I'd strongly recommend refamiliarizing yourself with some of the material. Good Luck!
I've been studying on Khan academy for a couple of weeks now using their SAT practice problems. Watching you do this has helped me so much more than that has thus far. Thanks!
I want to express my gratitude for the helpful video you created three years ago. It's amazing how it still benefits me today. Thank you so much for your effort and contribution.❤
For #15, instead of the work in red, look for a combination that multiplies to 15 & adds to 8. If you can do the work in red, most likely you understand the straightforward concept. You can immediately get a=3 & b=5 or a=5 & b=3. Save yourself 1-2 minutes! For #17, once you set up the problem, please recognize that 1400 is twice 700. Values on left are 2 times the corresponding values on the right. Alternate on #20 is dividing both sides by square root of 2. You get 10 = square root of x. One less step.
still fair tho because other kids in ur country also have to do it, and I guess its more accurate as there cant be lucky guesses and then shit like a retard scoring full marks
As someone struggling to get rid of their fear of maths, i was greatly helped by this video! I paused and did them by myself and if i needed hints or reassurance, i played ur explanation. Your voice is pretty soothing. Thanks c:
@@xtg-cm4pg If you want to apply early, Early Decisions (ED) begins in November. Regular Decision (RD) begins in January. But of course you’d have to look at the deadlines of each college as they vary. I suggest to have a college list by summer and begin writing as soon as possible.
My test is tomorrow and I just found this video. I took many practices tests and courses and none of them helped as much as this one short video. Thank you!
This video was an amazing experience to watch! The explanations and methods were clear and easy to understand, the mic and video quality is excellent, and your voice so so relaxing and welcoming! Thank you!
This problem tests your understanding of laws of exponents. Step one makes the bars thre same. This id a highly recommended first step. Step two is the power of a power. Multiply the exponents (3 times x). Step three is the quotient rule. Subtract the exponents.
I miss being able to do this stuff, I found it so fun. But I've been out of highschool for years now and working in a profession that requires nothing more than simple maths.
got my sat in 2 days and I felt like I was getting nowhere with khan academy. Getting feedback directly like this especially with advice and short cuts that help save time felt a lot better thank you for making these videos.
@@ifyoucantbethebestbethewor5507 1210 not great but better than last years, I only started studying a month before tho so if you actually prepare you’ll probably do much better.
You make it so much fun !! And not boring … You also help to refresh the steps needed to solve even the basics. Which I have forgotten - and you are soo relaxed with is stuff!!
fascinating! I've always wondered the way students of other countries take exam. in this video I saw a bunch of new types of problems. thank you for kind and plain explanation eteve.
great walk-through of the sat, one thing id like to say is that for #10 the only thing happening with x in the equation is that it is being squared. since 4^2 and (-4)^2 are the same value, we don't need to solve for a and we immediately know that the result of g(4) would be the same as g(-4), therefore it is 8. just a way to save a minute or 2
for number 10 there is a faster way to solve it. you can plug in the equation g(x)= g(-x). and if this is true then the equation would be reflected off the y-axis, thus giving the same y value. Or you can see that the equation is a parabola and 4 and -4 would have the same value
nice thinking. that saves a good bit of time. the way i thought of was realizing x was power to an even number meaning that the result would be positive even when raising a negative.
i'm studying for my PE now and this popped up in my recommended since i've been watching so many tutorials. crazy thinking back then that this was hard lol
Im from Belarus and decided to check what SAT math section looks like and actually now I’m quite shocked. I haven’t studied math for a long time already (since I graduated from school in 2020) and I wasn’t that brilliant at math at school in general but I have solved all of the problems. Some of them don’t even need any formula you can solve them in your mind in a few seconds. I remember my final exam math exam at school was much more difficult, we even studied logarithms. But I see that students in the USA don’t make their life that hard))) It’s some kind of relief that I am capable of passing it!)))
Thankyou so much this helped me a lot! I’m going to be watching your with calculator practice test as well... awesome work much needed!! Way better then how my PSAT book explains it. 👍
@@xtg-cm4pg it depends on the university, most applications for the next fall semester have closed already but do some research into the specific schools you’re interested in
Really, and this goes for all sections of the SAT test, you just need the knowledge. That’s what the SAT is testing; do you have the knowledge, do you know the formulas, do you know how to solve these problems? As long as you know a great deal of math formulas and principals (like functions or systems of equations), then you’ll be fine.
I never sat (no pun intended) the SAT. And finished high school 15 years ago. I just want to sharpen up my math because I feel pretty dumb now. I used to be very good at math back in school. I got the first 7-8 easily but then it got harder and couldn't solve most of them. But then after the answers were told, it kinda clicked. It all made sense and I understand it better now than I did back in school. Maybe you're a good teacher
I should mention that problem 10 has a trick that would allow one to get the answer without much calculation. g(x)=ax^2+24 is an even function. Graphically, this means g(x), when reflected over the y-axis, is the same graph. In function notation, this fact is represented as g(x)=g(-x) for all x. g(4)=8 g(-4)=g(4)=8. There is no need to find the value of a in this particular instance.
@@alexia.vachhani No, the shortcut I exploited is only applicable for problem 10. The technique shown in the video is a general procedure for any problem of similar type. I answered your question regarding determining the evenness of a function in my original response, but I will answer it formally anyway. A function f is even if and only if f(x)=f(-x) for all x. For example, suppose f(x) = x^2 - 4. f(x) = x^2 - 4 and f(-x) = (-x)^2 - 4 = x^2 - 4. f(x) = f(-x) ∴ f is an even function. As another example, suppose f(x) = 1/x. f(x) = 1/x and f(-x) = 1/(-x) = -(1/x) f(x) ≠ f(-x) ∴ f is not an even function.
Smashed my SAT. Had to come up with some of my own tricks like "Plugging in the given answers available as X" to see if it is true or false. That is one of my bag of tricks that works for those of you who have never tried that. You will find the SAT will try & make problems look much more complex than they actually are like that second problem it gives you a square root trying to trip you up over it.
im gonna attempt when I go in ninth till then im just gonna prepare and with my luck I struck gold with a great RU-vid channel that teaches people how do sat math without calculator with no complications
@@ashesp8440 it sucked😖. I was half asleep try the whole test and I was rushing. When got home I took a nap for 4 hours and now i have to do online classes 😫😫
So easy. The last one you should say x≥0 and then when you square things up you should say |2x|=200 or |x|=100 or x= ±100 and you would reject the negative answer as x≥0. I think this is a more formal way of resolving the exercise.
15 is incorrect. You were right but stopped and found values for a and b but the question asks for the values of c. Great video otherwise, sir! This is the first video I watched for my PSAT practice which is next Wednesday and I am in my junior year and I can definitely say it helped set a base for my understanding. Thank you!
omfg finally someone who thinks this test is fucking hilarious. As a turkish student who is going to get into collage this year ive been laughing so hard at how easy these are and the funnier thing is that THEY think these are complicated and hard to understand LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@TaylanKapcik Yeah, and I was surprised that Turkey also has pressure on studies and tough Univ test. I guess this is why we call each other brother's country lol
Im from Turkey and these guys are goddamn lucky but you are lucky too my friend because u know english pretty well.İn my country English is very very important for taking jobs.You'll probably gonna do 120 on TOEFL.XD
@@virenderparasariya İ dont agree because When you have multiple choices you got some people to handle it too so youre ready for it.Also this test is so freakin easy in my country 8th grade kids just do tests like that for practice.And we have an exam called ''LGS'' ps:8th grade kids do that test.İts 10 times hard than SAT maths.But America is a country where everybody come for graduate.So that makes sense tho
@@walterw6585 I was not particularly talking about this exam but the one that I am preparing for very tough and most of the questions are multiple choice
Yeah man cool.But im talkin 'bout SAT because i thought American guys go into college with that exam.İm not really into american exams so XD.But i will be in SAT exam and insAllah (İt means i hope in my country but more religious than that)İ will graduate from Massachuets.İ wish best luck for you mate
SAT Math is so complicated for me… Math is already a very challenging subject for me though… I have problem understanding something complicated but nice love your video👍🏻👍🏻
@@dakshirb1906 Also funny you reminded me of this video today of all days because I took the test exactly a month ago today. You probably don't care but I just thought it was cool lol.
I may be wrong, cuz i have never done SAT, but as someone who has tried many times and failed to get in UNAM FACMED (public medicine college from mexico), this looks waaaay easy, i kinda want to get it a shot studying in USA now lol
This is like 1000x times easier than the Khan Academy SAT practices are. Like MILES easier. I still don't want to get too overconfident as I know that will mess me up but thank you for the video!
