some of you guys might remember i did a challenge BEFORE the October SAT where I said whoever could increase their score the most gets $100. and then $50 for 2nd place. and then $25 for 3rd place. the competition is now CLOSED for entry (since it was only available for entry before the test). but, since scores come out tomorrow, we will find out who WON the contest. to submit your "improvement," leave a comment on this post showing your BEFORE score and AFTER score (the score you got on the October test). on Friday, October 24 at 8PM EST, I will count and analyze all the submissions to determine the winners. here is everyone who submitted: @Ethan Stearns @Patricia Sarieddine @Taylor Slater @Saádhya Guimarães @Maria Silva @Jordan Drayer @Mamady K @Alejandro Huba @Mohammed Hussein @Donnel Das @Arianna Roselli @Aahil Syed @Daniel Rivera @Vibhu Rampally @Karakat Nurmukhamet @Juliana Pereira

Ever since I joined the community in the summer, I felt super encouraged and welcomed and through beneficial resources and through the help of John, I saw the biggest growth and gained significant confidence. I am happy to say that I can superscore for 1500 and to anyone who may be second-guessing, John is legit. Def recommend the 14 day course didn’t try the others but there are a lot of great resources linked + I used multiple resources in conjunction like James Lu, SAT Math and Strategic Test Prep. Now I gotta worry about college apps

i have the giveaway over here, but for people who just want to share their score.

So, I've been seeing a lot of lamentations and sadness about the October SAT -- however, I'm here to bring some happiness and hope. Keep praying guys, and I hope you all get great scores. > One of the reading questions about predators which showed a table and numerical values was a test question. Most likely, it either doesn't count or counts towards the score regardless of a wrong answer. > This SAT had one of the biggest sit ins in the country, so the curve and the score distribution will be much higher than usual. > There were some new concepts in the reading. Those were the really easy questions, if you all can remember. This might not add to any score, but it's good to understand that a lot of the things in the October SAT were experimental. Again, don't fret people. You all studied a lot, and that alone is an accomplishment. The SAT is a stupid test and does not count for your intellectuality OR your smartness - it's not even that standardized, at times.

Good luck to all!
