Hey guys, December SAT is less than 2 weeks away. I know a bunch of you don't want to study at all for the SAT because you have other things to do or just want to relax instead of thinking about it. I totally get that and I'm the exact same way. But the truth is, the only way to get good at the SAT is by just doing practice problems. If any of you have ever studied for a math test (which I'm sure you all have) then you'll probably realize that the way you studied was by doing a bunch of practice problems. I want you all to think back to the best you've done on a math test, and then think about what strategy you used to achieve that score. Maybe it was studying a few days before and doing a bit each day leading up to that test. Maybe it was something else, but you ultimately know what strategy got you there. Essentially, the SAT is the same way. You have to study for it to do well and you have to do a bunch of practice problems to be able to get a good score. I know a lot of you in school aim for about 80% or better, and most are happy with that. an 80% on the SAT is a 1280. Maybe if you're a high baller then you shoot for 90% 's. That's a 1440. What I'm getting at here is that what you normally get in school on tests is usually a lot better than what you do on the SAT's. A lot of you want to do better but just don't understand what your school grade would correlate to on the SAT as a score. That's a big thing to understand and to realize what % your aiming to get. In reality, to get the score you want (which is different for each person and changes dramatically based on your starting point) is just to spend the time and effort into it. Realistically, it probably only requires 20-30 hours to get that score that you want or even better which is not that much, compared to the time that most of you spend on videogames weekly (check your steam charts or screen time, I promise you'll be shocked). Now what a lot of people don't realize is that all you have to do is sacrifice just a week of your time. This can be just 1 week straight shot, it can be spread across many weeks, but eventually you'll have spent the time required to get the score you want. And think about what losing just this week will give you. You’ll have a massively increased chance (if not guaranteed) of getting into the college you want to, you'll be able to show off to your friends and have that genuine feeling of making your parents proud and yourself proud, knowing you got the score you wanted and deserved after all that hard work. And what are you losing instead? A few hours of gaming where you realistically might rank up like once? Play a few hours where you won't get much better anyway? Or get into your dream school and just grind out the work and do what you want to in school. The choice is up to you.

yep, you read the title. i want to incentivize absolutely GRINDING over these next 2 weeks. so, here's the deal: leave a comment showing your latest practice test score (or your official test score, if it was in September, after it comes out this Friday). whoever increases their score the MOST on the October 4 SAT wins $100. and whoever increases it SECOND MOST wins $50. and whoever increases it THIRD MOST wins $25. payment will be done on Venmo. by the way, if you want the best possible shot at seeing that improvement, consider getting the 14-Day SAT Rescue Plan, my guide to mastering the test in only 14 days (not required to enter, though). other rules: - cannot enter if you are under age 13 (who's taking the SAT when they're 13 lol?) - do NOT cheat on the SAT (in case i needed to say that) - you must screen-record yourself looking at your score to receive the prize to show you didn't photo-edit - not allowed for people in my 1500 Accelerator program (kinda cheating lol) - if less than 5 total people enter, i will cancel the contest, as that's kinda cringe (must be at LEAST 5)
