The SAT Lock-In Challenge is officially over, and the results are out! 623 challengers took part across the full run, which is honestly a pretty good turnout. Here are some of the results: 🏆 Top 5 🥇 Static Sakai — 30 points · 1,213 questions · 85.1% accuracy 🥈mufliha— 29 points ·1,932 questions· 89.1% accuracy 🥉mekov— 29 points ·1,427 questions· 76.4% accuracy 4️⃣Jw2— 28 points ·1,835 questions· 73.4% accuracy 5️⃣TheBear— 28 points ·1,293 questions· 82.1% accuracy One thing that stood out was the amount of work the Top 30 put in. The average student in the Top 30 answered 1,440 questions and completed 28 hours of focused practice, which works out to about 92 minutes per challenge day. And there were some pretty big score improvements too: - ArnavB: 1180 → 1410 (+230) across 1,042 questions - Cade: 1250 → 1400 (+150) across 962 questions - Skittle_Wizard: 1330 → 1470 (+140) across 1,396 questions - Omky: 1350 → 1460 (+110) across 2,188 questions - Lapislazuli: 1310 → 1420 (+110) across 651 questions - Kasper Echo: 1250 → 1360 (+110) across 1,171 questions - Nello: 1330 → 1430 (+100) across 1,327 questions - datbombdotcom: 1390 → 1480 (+90) across 1,433 questions And the 1500+ section is pretty interesting too, since getting points at that level is obviously harder: - TheBear: 1400 → 1520 (+120) across 1,323 questions - Dhami: 1450 → 1510 (+60) across 1,907 questions - tinaphan: 1440 → 1500 (+60) across 1,062 questions - Static Sakai: 1470 → 1500 (+30) across 1,271 questions The biggest takeaway from all of this is probably just consistency. A lot of these people weren't doing a few practice tests and magically jumping hundreds of points. They were answering hundreds/thousands of questions over multiple days and actually sticking with it. Also, shoutout to everyone who participated even if you didn't make the leaderboard. The whole point of a challenge like this is getting yourself to actually sit down and study, and that's already a win.
