What's in it?

➺English 

➺Reading Section:

The Reading section consists of passages from various subjects, such as literature, history, social studies, and science.

• Skim through the questions before reading the passage to have a sense of what to look for.

• Focus on understanding the main idea, tone, and purpose of each passage.

• Pay attention to specific details and evidence supporting the author's claims.

• Practice time management to ensure you have enough time for each passage and questions.

➺Writing and Language Section:

This section evaluates your ability to edit and revise written text, including identifying errors and improving sentence structure, organization, and clarity.

• Familiarize yourself with common grammar and punctuation rules.

• Pay attention to transitions between sentences and paragraphs for coherence.

• Practice identifying errors such as subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, and modifier placement.

• Read actively to improve comprehension and vocabulary, as it helps in understanding context.

➺Math with more high school level concepts

➺Math Section (with Calculator):

This portion assesses mathematical reasoning skills, including algebra, problem-solving, and data analysis.

• Review fundamental math concepts, including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry.

• Use your calculator efficiently, but don't rely on it entirely. Make sure you understand the concepts behind the calculations.

• Practice solving different types of math problems to build problem-solving strategies.

• Review formulas and equations that may be needed for various math concepts.

Sat guide\tips

➺Firstly, booking for the SAT is on College Board. Misk requires a score of over 1300 in your SATs.

➺Use Khan Academy to build your foundations in math. However, for more advanced questions, it isn’t that helpful because the questions are evolving. For English, it’s amazing as well.

➺Bluebook practice tests are a must. There are only 4 at the moment, so don’t use them all up. Ideally, you should space your practice tests out to use them effectively since they’re the closest thing you have to the real test.

➺The SAT question bank is the most underrated and best resource to use since it’s from College Board itself. You can practice concepts separately, and a lot of the questions have been on past SATs and some might even come on the one you take.

➺YouTube is good for getting an idea of what the test is like and what people are doing to study for it. It’s also pretty good for learning concepts and solving hard questions. The best channel is Tutorllini Test Prep.

➺Give yourself adequate time to study. 2-3 months is a good starting point. If you really want a good score on your first try, maybe study for more than 3 months, but also the way you study matters more!

➺Whenever you take a practice test, go back and look at each question carefully and write down your mistakes so you can work on them. This is crucial for actually getting better.

➺Don’t get a tutor or buy a book. You don’t need these things to succeed, and it might be a waste of your money. You can find loads of books online, and in the summer, you’ll get access to books from Kaplan, which is the company that taught the SAT and IELTS courses for us.

➺Don’t stress about the SAT too much - you have plenty of time to study for it, but to be honest, the earlier the better!

Desmos summary

To solve any equation on desmos:

Y= left side
Y= right side

To solve any system of equations on desmos:

Plug both equations into desmos

To solve any intercept (x or y intercepts) on desmos:

Plug the equation into desmos and look at where it's intercepting


To solve any minimum- -maximum question on desmos:

Plug the question into desmos and look at the needed point


To solve any inequalities on desmos:

Plug the inequality into desmos and depending on the ask of the question you can find out the answer



To find the number of solutions/points of intersection on desmos:

Plug the equation/ equations into desmos and find how many times they intersect

note if given a single equation, do y= left side-- y=right side and find the intersection point


To find the number of solutions in equations that contain constants on desmos:

Plug the equations in desmos and try guessing using the answer choices

note this only works with questions which include answer choices


To evaluate functions on desmos:

Plug the equation and the f(x), which are given in the question, in desmos and you'll be given the answer directly


To solve regression questions (functions which shows a specific value of x and their corresponding values of f(x) ) on desmos:

Plug the given table into desmos by clicking on the + at the top left and input the values. After writing the table, write in a separate column "y1~mx1+b" and you will be given the M(slope) and the b (y intercept) of the answer

note if given a quadratic function instead of a linear function, you should type "y1~ax1²+bx1+c"

For the the vertex form: y1~a(x1-h)²+k




To find out which expression is equivalent to the one given in the question on desmos:

Plug in the expression in the question and try out the answer choices


To solve an equation of a circle on desmos:

Type the equation into desmos and note down the coordinates of the top of the circle and the coordinates of the bottom of the circle---

to find the distance(radius) : distance× ((the first set of coordinates), (the second set of coordinates)) all over 2

To find the center of the circle: midpoint×((first set of coordinates),(second set of coordinates))

To find out if a point is inside or on the circle: After you have graphed the circle in desmos, plug the points too into desmos and you'll find out the answer

note  when trying to find the radius or midpoint, input it exactly as I have written- the exact number of brackets and commas.

diameter is 2 times the radius (e.g if the radius was 7, the diameter is 14) and the circumference can be found in one of 2 ways (2×pi×radius -or- pi×diameter)




To solve function translations on desmos:

Plug the equation/equations into desmos and you'll be able to see the points needed on the graph

note the formula is f(x-h)+k

h controls whether the function goes left or right, when there's a minus next to h, the function goes right; when there's a plus next to h, the function goes left

k controls whether the function goes up or down, when k is positive, the function goes up; when k is negative, the function goes down


To solve mean and median questions on desmos:

For the mean, write: mean( the numbers given)

For the median, write: median(the numbers given)

note this is only for simple questions which ask for only the mean or the median; there are far more complex questions which cannot be explained via text. Watch this video for a more detailed explanation:

P.S-
Many questions which include an unknown constant can be solved by including the constant in desmos, in which desmos will ask if you want to make a slider for that constant and you can try out different values by using the slider to see what the answer is (this is for when you really don't know how to solve the question and you've tried everything). Please forgive me if I made any mistakes in these notes, they may not be perfect but they should give you at least a small idea of how to proceed!
