Apr 4 • SAT TIPS/STRATEGIES 📢
here's what my highest-improving SAT students actually did differently
I've been coaching students inside Mission 1400+ for months.
The students who improve fastest all do the same three things:
- The Workload
He did several things, but we can't forget the 1,800+ problems he did on Aniko.
But this is even more important:
He did a lot of problems in his WEAK SPOTS.
Most of you are probably struggling the most with:
- Passage Questions
- Multi-variable Math Problems
- Geometry and Trigonometry
I'm not a genius -- these are just the hardest sections of the test.
So, if you're grinding problems without a clear strat for which problems to do, you're working hard but not smart.
TARGETED volume is what actually makes you improve.
2. Review Every Mistake (seriously)
told me his improvement got crazy after he started reviewing mistakes.
It was the REVIEW, not the problems themselves, that really helped him improve.
If you get a problem wrong, you're not going to improve unless you actually find out the CORRECT strategy for the problem.
You already know this, but the two things you MUST do are:
- Figure out what you did wrong
- Find out what to do instead
If you can do those TWO things, you have a very LOW chance of getting the same problem incorrect multiple times.
The issue: most people skip that part.
3. Be "Intelligent"
Intelligence is the ability to change your behavior under the same stimuli.
That’s an Alex Hormozi quote, but here’s what it means:
When you learn how to walk for the first time as a child, you start walking.
You don’t just keep crawling and say, “I have no idea why I’m not getting to my destinations faster! This is crazy!”
This is the same thing with the SAT.
90% of you are doing at least one SAT problem with the WRONG strategy.
Your job is to embrace that, and try to change/improve as quickly as possible.
If it feels like you’re doing some problems in the exact same way as before you joined this community (and your accuracy is low), something is probably going wrong.
But, if it feels like you have significantly changed your strategies/approaches for a lot of the questions, you’re likely doing something right.
Don’t be one of those people who reads/watches through an entire course but doesn’t use anything from it.
If you want a more in-depth overview on this, here is the video I got this idea from (it’s a 40-second video, but still).
If you're not improving yet, which is the thing holding you back?
