[david6568]

nice

[sacae95]

What book are you using for this video?

[llSniperWolfll]

Really useful.

[sweet1rainymist]

just what i needed.

[RockOnDoooooooooood]

last years upper classmen valedictorian scored about 2260 :o

[TheMasterSlasher]

Could I improve my overall score by 150 points in 2 months?

[Alyssa18326]

@TheMasterSlasher It is definitely possible. I know a friend's score went from 1460 to 1740 and another from 1200 to 1500( we were all middle schoolers, by the way). This improvement took place in one month. If we bunch of middle schoolers can do it, you certainly can

[tremanrolls679]

math was the easiest portion of the test I only missed one problem. many struggle with the puzzles. It isn't supposed to be an IQ test. A math genius could do poorly if he attacked the problems arrogantly and with a closed mind.

[streetfire002]

@tremanrolls679 i doubt anyone who is good at maths would have a problem with these.

[odiathas94]

I am 11th grade in greece.i study differential equations, imaginary numbers, logarithms and sequences.Physics: thermodynamics, engineering +a total of 51 hours of classes, and i'm something more than average student. And here i hear about flying birds and tables.i need 18/20 to get into economics in athens and a friend of mine got 15/20 and got accepted Penn because e got 1440 on his SAT. ENGLISH IS NOT EVEN HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE AND HIS LESS THAN AN AVERAGE STUDENT.Those tests need improvements

[Cyclonexman]

@odiathas94 The math tests here are for a all types of students. Most of the math on the test i had learned in 6th and 7th grade.

[baseballfreak611]

ughh, scared for this. dont know why since im still in grade 8, but my bro did this shit last year and told me to study hard for it once im about to have it. lol ahh, y am i worrying.....

[baymafay]

I appreciate your calm voice. It makes problems seem "doable"

[TreesAreYourFriend]

I don't understand how you did the simplifying at 5:30... o.O how did you find out the numbers to put at the bottom in the parentheses? I'm so confused :c

[EpicOwnage1212]

obviously the first couple questions are always easy, you should do a tutorial on like the last 5 questions in the math section. I usually end up getting some of those wrong

[Gregar900]

I just took the SAT in La Quinta High school... A little piece of me died in that classroom

[MasterMik332]

SUBSCRIBED!!! You are a legend and you have helped me so much :D I remember watching your video last year when i needed help in algebra and now im watching your video the SAT thanx bro you have no idea how much you've helped me out.

[hahrai]

thank you!!

[buster999121]

all left handed guys r smart at math

[liloa12]

love it!! taking Sat on december!

[Killer67312]

Uh oh... today I did my SAT and ran out of time and only got HALF the math questions right for two sections!! I'm stressing out right now! Will it affect your scores by a LOT?

[KingzKid24]

@Killer67312 you don't lose points for omitted questions. I found myself doing better omitting some questions rather than taking wild last minute guesses. you should be fine.

[bronxgirlbx]

@Killer67312 not that much ...but it will to a certain extend

[mecamoon]

did you see the Olevel exam questions?

please make a video on that

its very difficult

i need help

[DasMeerli]

Huhhh? I'm from Germany and......very confused :-/

These questions were sooooooo easy. Are they really part of an Assessment Test for UNIVERSITIES in America (that's what my dictionary says)? That's ridiculous!

[patrickJMT]

@DasMeerli some of the beginning questions are very easy, but they soon get more challenging.

[R112233441]

@patrickJMT Yes yes. The sat is designed to go from easy to hard as you progress through the math section.

[maxazria11]

@patrickJMT thats cause ur like really smart.

[johnsone7777]

@DasMeerli .... that's why Germany has companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, Intel, Google, Cisco Systems, right?

if you research education systems, germany has excellent K-12 programs, however, America's top universities are better than Germany's best.

[DanAran162]

@johnsone7777

Microsoft, Apple, and Google are American companies.

[Fir3mast3r]

@DasMeerli i'm also european, and i find these questions rather easy, but one thing that you have to keep in mind is that you get 25 minutes for 20 questions.

[StarwithoutaSky07]

@DasMeerli

No, not really. The SAT and ACT tests are more for the purpose of proving that you learned what you should have in high school. Basically, they start at freshman level and work up to senior level. Each college/university has their own assessment test, but they won't let anyone take that unless they have a certain score on the ACT or SAT test. (Each college has a different score required, and some only accept SAT and others only take ACT; some will accept both.

[TheAce1082]

@DasMeerli they are supposed to be easy. if you get one wrong you don't get perfect and there are 100. Also, they get harder later on. America is a huge country with different "math" levels learnt in each place. They can't just test higher level math when not everyone has actually learned it yet. They test easy math but u have to get it all 100% right if you want to do well and get into a good university.

[pedrohissa3]

@DasMeerli Here in Brazil our test use to be more difficult too.

[200816]

easy much?

[Vitzors]

lol SAT is so freaking easy, try some questions to get into brazil's top universities and you'll go crazy

[jesseisdamncute]

at what age did you take SAT?

[syahadaz]

this is easy

[syahadaz]

what? damn easy

[DivineWindOfTheSnow]

I have PSATs in four days. I'm going to fail. Especially the limited time... :(

[theidort]

Taking it tomorrow. Fuck. 

[NYCxTL]

amazing man this just helped me for tomorrows SAT which is oct 9

[lolzgrl3995]

Thanx this actually kinda helped

[KatyRocksYo]

I'm super scared for the sat's . im afraid i'll prolly get like really low scores BECAUSE of math.

im seriously horrible at algebra, geometry ANY kind of math, Does anyone know a way to help me get better? D; btw i cant have tutors, and school doesnt help either.

[TheD13Go97]

nice

[mchief101]

i have sat in one month...i didnt study yet and im so scared

[patrickJMT]

@mchief101 i did not study at all ever for it, and did just fine

[fnbuy]

hey do you know any good SAT courses i could take in nc for sophomores?

[SuperJtroy]

An except from David Mura's "Turning Japanese" will be on the SAT reading section this year. The Barrons SAT prep book has a passage excerpted from it.

[SordidMike]

for those who find this easy try solving a baccalaureat problem math are more difficult in france

[daniel123coolable]

dude im in 6th grade and i solved this math in my head

[KatyRocksYo]

@daniel123coolable Uhm. You can be my new math tutor. I'm a junior in highschool 11th grade and i cant do this.

[mickycheese27]

MIT here I come. lol (you should try doing the longer sums)gr8 vid

[kevinkschen123456]

pretty simple math actually

[xenekaro]

Anyone know any good critical reading videos? C.R is so confusing and my poor decision making skills doesnt help either..

[schoolboi180]

jst had my SAT saturday. damn i wish i chekd this video out first =P college board

online didnt help me. all the questions online were like the easy types.

oh yea every one look around 1:34 the answer slots have both 10 and 4 (thats a good way to trick you since the answer is 4 at the end) oh yea great video thanks you should make more videos. ill subscribe if you od (idk if u do or not i havnt checkd your channel)

[scbaldwin13]

I just took them today. The math portion was so easy, well for me at least. It was probably the only section I felt confident about, writing went okay but the critical reading part was rough, i could not follow the passages because of the time given. i felt really rushed...

[scfreak123]

the first 10 questions are easy to allow less capable students to get a score rather than fail or score high

[mr3ggroll]

im sweating

[Tangibleapparition]

super easy questions!10x

[AcousticMusic14]

im flippping out over my test.... any help

[dchu96]

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to post these videos.

[izzyswag92]

nice video u got one for english

[kelz3030]

I have no idea how I'm going to remember all this.

[LubricatedBeat]

donated 30 bucks :]

thanks for all your help

[Farrahmack]

Ugh.. I feel like an idiot.. I really don't like math..

[mcdudester911]

wow im 14 and took the SAT today super easy it was easier than the normal unit test's i get in my biology class

[lalaLOVExTODAY]

What did you all get on the SAT? (including poster :) )

[theyojojo]

this is kl

[CoIorful]

You spelled "ignorant" wrong in your annotation.

It's slightly strange, you never say the names in the word problems; in any of the SAT videos. Malik. That's not hard.

[silentperson233]

!!While studying today, I saw this question twice! I'm amazed that I came across it again here.

on the 2007 princeton review and on the 2010

crazy coincidences.

[evan258]

best part about my SAT was no one told me to "skip the stuff you dont know" and i answered everything....

dont even wanna know what i got

[RafaelMoore20]

That You

[surferhottie8595]

Need SAT practice?

[asd4250]

he these questions are in 5th standard in india.

[felixduhcat89]

Why are the questions so easy on the exam, and yet many students do so poorly?

[ohyahers]

Not everyone has the resources to do well on the exam. And "easy" is pretty relative. Plus, this is only the math section; you are neglecting the writing and critical reading part.

[TheIndianbastard]

Their not that easy...The ones he shows are.....There is also an English section which is LOT harder than Math.

[GEARSnHALOGODz]

because the beginning is easy and i got a 760 on math so im not sure many students do poorly.

[zekee15]

i think the reason people do so poorly isnt because of the questions themselves, but people are so used to the wording being so simple in regular state mandated exams. its sad that schools prepare you for that rather than the actual SAT.

[mannymarz]

pressure

[etower333c]

@felixduhcat89 our education system is bad! :(

[edozzz12]

OMG ! i thought america's SAT is harder than indonesia's SAT... those questions are so easy to solve... hahaha... gimme that paper !

[mahdesimon]

That's pretty easy.

[777CHARMING]

God i swear i have not gotten any right answers for them :( I'm gonna fail it lol

[SuperDon321]

Nice work bro...you are d best !!!

[HANNONKEVINP]

Man, I hate the SAT. Its funny, I have an A+ in Calculus B.C, but i got a 540 on my math SAT.

Basically, SAT=evil.

[uskid418]

This is really good, now I know what to expect!

[LayhoooRS2]

i learned this stuff in 7th grade (some 8th)

if its this easy why isn't everyone getting 800s on the math portion

[strongyang]

this is pretty simple..lol

[nationalalchemist]

What is an SAT test???

[riderdude10]

im in grade 10 and the first one is SIMPLE!!

[MafeeLopez]

Nice :). Im definitely going to the web page.

But I have a question.. how did you know in question #5 that you have to factor? b/c before you said that I was doing something completely different. So basically my question is.. how do you know what to do in moments like that in the SAT? How did you know is was time to factor on question number 5?

I dont know if I make my point on my question but please answer.

Thank youu

[T3hRuski]

Dear lord, American exams look so easy! I did an equivalent of that exam when I was 15.

[Ndesire]

I can't thank you enough for all your videos they have helped me through calculus and now im studying for SATs, thanks a ton!

[619786rey]

thx u thx thx u thx u cos am starting the yr 6 and i have to focus so hard... and thx uuuuuuuuuu!!!!

[Warisover100]

Lol Testing for me are piece of cakes.. But i dont know about the SAT..so wondering how it's like :D

[bitchslap1994]

confusing im studing igcse and we took this at grade 9

[Care003]

knowing formulas and steps are important AND understanding what the question is asking is important too..

some question sounds ridiculously hard but requires simple problem solving.

[mooviez92]

wow this is so much easier than i expected. :) I have to take SAT this year...

[missy4142]

ugh im going to faaaaaaillll :'(

[Takifun]

YOU AND ME BOTH!!!

[brianizaninjaa]

dont these seem a little too easy for an sat question?

[Teabo1129]

easy shit!!!

[kindvideo2]

you know something,this is the same stuff I learned in 9th grade...

[mightyflamelord]

but with the pressure+time limit, it would be challenging :(

[xXxjOkeR010xXx]

What book is this specifically ? I have Cracking the SAT 2009 Edition...Where can I find these questions, for I can follow along ? Any idea please ?

[theXdude69]

Its the same thing my friend i also have it

[anthony9809]

i have the KAPLAN SAT premier 2010 edition, its cool.

[Kkaannddiiee]

lolz this is making me want to study even harder XDD

[poppyseed1000]

lol those are like the beginning questions it gets harder on the test. u hopefully u know everything up to geometry :/

[Noorhadi52]

nice

[yomamawasnice]

Hey guys, for those who took the SAT, did this help?

[blah0492]

yeah lolnonamesleft, the public school system here isnt great, especially compared to the netherlands. but while there are a ton of idiots in the US, there are also several smart people. However, I knew all the material that the ACT covered, but I ended up with a 31 (which translates to about a 2100), so getting a perfect or near perfect score is not as easy as it seems. After a 2000, it really comes down to how many careless mistakes you make, not how intelligent you are.

[iluvcandy1104]

argh..... im nervous sat. soon!

[MrTakeAshot1]

woodyfly, I don't see what being Chinese has to do with that

[queenofallmonkeys]

IB is da best! :D

[confusedinthegroove]

Haha... This is absolutely hilarious... This is nothing like the Irish Leaving Cert(equivilent to the S.A.T. over here)... This is way easier than ordinary level maths here... Then theres higher level which makes this an absolute joke... On top of that we have to do Irish, English, a foreign language and 2-4 option subjects.... I just finished 30 hours of exams over the last 2 weeks... You Americans have it easy....

[patrickJMT]

question number 1 is probably an easy question... dont you think?

[PassionateViolinist]

yes, but the word problems such as the last one is the thing that makes me panic.

[gothicsolace]

confusedinthegroove: The SAT is not an exit exam... it attempts to measure all levels of aptitude...

[kelz3030]

@confusedinthegroove you don't have to be rude.

[asmodeus585]

@confusedinthegroove: Even if they do have it easier, then it's not their fault. Just as it is isn't your fault that the Irish have it hard. It is your government that decidec what what exams are obligatory and what they level should be. In US it's a bit different as private organisations create various tests (ACT, SAT, etc.) and schools decide on their own which their students will have to pass.

[Elysius101]

@confusedinthegroove it starts off easy and gets harder dipshit

[lilquake4590]

@confusedinthegroove the funny thing is... what has ireland done to change the world except pester us with immigration and give us an excuse to pinch someone... LOL

[RavenBee]

@confusedinthegroove

i agree even though i live in america, my cousin who lives in another country said the same thing.. lol

[lfroggyl]

@confusedinthegroove Yeah the SAT is pretty easy

[nerdiigrl]

is the sat math really this simple? o___o

[zzzzoooommmmgggg]

iM 12 I KNEW THEM (OR MOST OF THEM)

sorry bout caps

[Archer6633]

im 17 and i knew nothing, ur geek..

[megamanxu]

ur 17 and you did not know this stuff? that is either because ur school is slow, or because u just didn't pay attention when your teacher teaches you things. this is normal stuff that freaking 8 graders suppose to know. it's just hard how the sat sometimes tricks you and stuff. after all, it is a "logical" test, not like the ACT which is all "applying formulas and not making any careless mistakes"

[zekee15]

in texas, we have to take this stupid TAKS exam every year and its stupid because the curriculum is so ridiculously based on that , that people dont study for the SAT till its too late. thats the saddest part.

[poppyseed1000]

Want a cookie? :3

[Devicus]

i cant believe sat is so easy.

[0honey0U]

i got 2130 in sat and i was disappointed. i was aiming for 2400 or no less than 2200. i may do it over just for fun!

[skankuser]

You can retake it as many times as you'd like, and they always take the highest score from each section and add them together. So if you do better on your math portion on one test, but bomb the other, they'll always take the highest.

I'm glad I graduated high school before they put the god damn essay in. I have to take the GRE next semester, and I'm worried as fuuuuuuuuuck.

[kool81kool81]

How pissed would you be if you got a score of a 2390/2400?

HAHA I would shoot my leg ^ ^...(Thats a little over the top!)

haha i just took mine today,.... Wow I really love this guy. Thanks for all the help!

[BAfilms09]

thanks so much dude!

[roryrocks001]

u r a life saver!

i was so worried that it was gonna be super hard

thanks!

[dmarinorules]

I'M FREAKED OUT...

But this video is helping...

Thank you, gomenasai, arigatou,gracias.

[09178231994]

How many questions are there in a whole SAT exam? I wanna know because I'm planning to study in the states. Thanks

[09178231994]

How many questions are there in a whole SAT exam?

[skatersnoopy]

my friend got a perfect score on SAT: 2400/2400 hes some genious!

[matthew121121]

can any1 tell me if 1310 is gd??

[MrEinsteinz]

Take the test again man.

You do better the second time. It's enough for college but if you want a decent education, try and go higher.

[Braniac29]

The average score of all high school seniors in America is 1500, with a score of 490 to 510 being the average. Many public colleges will accept a 1310 if the rest of your application/resume is solid, but 1310 is not the most competitive score. I would advise studying up for a few months gradually, and take the SAT again. There are many classes you could find in your local area to help you prepare and study. Also, remember to focus on the sections that you have the most trouble w/

[CHUCKIERAPEU]

it's not, it's below average

[DeMoNsLaYeR818]

lol take the SAT with a sharpie XD

[thelastwords]

this looks incredibly easy...American? lol

this looks like something devised for people who got left back.

[acuptoftea]

Thank you. This is very helpful!=]

[Brianster321]

Wow this helped me in my math test i had today and btw why did a random dot appear at 5:05-5:07

[Physicsandmaths]

What kind of test is this? I'm from Holland as well. This must be a highschool test? If it is a final highschool test (at an age of 17,18) then I think it's way too easy...

[woodsmaniii]

Not at all. Only around 300 people get perfect scores annually, and as you go further into it, it gets harder. The first questions (shown here) ARE easy...

[whathappenedtojake]

i agree

some questions are really tough

but most are pretty simple and easy

[PullUpYurPants]

lolz i'm a freshmen and I'm from holland... why am I watching SAT stuff? x]

[jonesbrotherfreak]

wow good thing i dont have to take them! for now. . . . =( so scary!

[Simplyevil4u2c]

i m so scred from SAT!

[certifiedjagga]

I'm taking the SATs in two months... ;(

[leafsfans23]

i'm taking it in 3 weeks :(

[breezywind28]

what year is this
