SAT Transitions - Full Strategy Guide

[@arctos7799]

I swear this is the easiest explanation for me as an international students, it's hard to understand the exact meaning of each transition, thank you you're the best tutor in youtube.

[@SetteleTutoring]

Thanks! Honestly, even as an American it's hard to understand all these words. Much easier to dumb them down and it usually works out.

[@IELTS9BANDSCORE]

Thank u​@@SetteleTutoring

[@erimegeo]

As an international student, I always fall into your trap questions :) and I think it gives me a chance to not fall into these at real SAT. So, thank you Mike!

[@SetteleTutoring]

It’s important to develop a strong sense of where traps are likely to be and what they look like. The SAT is definitely trying to evaluate your sense for traps; call it gullibility or over-confidence or whatever you like. There are still plenty of easy questions where the solution is straightforward, but I’m glad you’re starting to notice when things are getting more tricky.

[@mucahitmert2699]

man you are doing a great job you help students from all around the world,i wish you will reach to 100 k subs immediately

[@SetteleTutoring]

Thanks for the support! I’m getting there slowly but surely!

[@nightmarecore106]

This is the best explaination of transions words i have ever heared from any one before, Thank you so much.

[@SetteleTutoring]

Glad you like it! I was actually very proud of it myself.

[@mohammadabdullah4985]

You're the best sat teacher.

[@SetteleTutoring]

Thank you so much!

[@abdumess264]

i like this guy lol he is so real lmao

[@SetteleTutoring]

Thanks! Yes, I’m not a deepfake!

[@Fraxx-69o]

bro got me before even he got into the topic hands down

[@SetteleTutoring]

Got you as a subscriber, I hope!

[@TakiaTasnim-h8q]

this is great man.Thanks.May all your wishes come true!

[@SetteleTutoring]

I wish for 100K subs!

[@fanstargaming6585]

Mike you won't even believe that how much I'm personally enjoying your videos! I personally did some of the hard questions of grammer text and honestly got most of the correct!! Thank you so much!

[@SetteleTutoring]

That’s great! I’m so glad I can help. The grammar stuff is an excellent place to start because it locks in a lot of points.

[@fanstargaming6585]

@SetteleTutoring yeah exactly but you would be wondering what that grammer comment is doing here it was actually a thankful message for all your effort whether it's reading or writing :)

[@SetteleTutoring]

@@fanstargaming6585 Yeah I know! I was just commenting that it’s really great you were getting the hard grammar questions right now because those are so important for great scores!

[@fanstargaming6585]

Mike would you mind telling that grammer has approx 100 qs on the qs bank does those grammer qs carry more marks compared to reading section? Or does the students usually get reading ones right but fall on grammer?

[@SetteleTutoring]

@@fanstargaming6585 Sorry, I’m not sure what you’re asking. Grammar is an important part of the Reading section because the rules are predictable, so it’s a good place for people to start their prep.

[@user-cm9wy8zw2f]

Always super helpful thanks man! If possible i would love to see a video for words in context questions

[@SetteleTutoring]

Bro due to support from you and Tutorilini I have scored 790 on math . Now , I have exam on NOV . I need 650 in any case .

[@oyeitsmilangaming7386]

Can you make some videos related to vocab . I always get confused on the last choice . How to specifically handle those ?

[@SetteleTutoring]

What do you mean by “the last choice”?

[@Likki0206]

@@SetteleTutoring Hey can you make a video about vocabulary and upload it before november, its the part where many people loose easy marks and there is much time for november SAT 😭😭

[@SetteleTutoring]

@@Likki0206 I already have a lesson fully dedicated to the vocab questions! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6WliYCfgpllors

[@Theatre49]

nice one ! now make a video about last day prep pleaseeee

[@SetteleTutoring]

Thanks! Working on it!

[@sovietpotatot.p9807]

2:16 so real

[@Andrew-Tsegaye]

Is it better to asses each choice? wouldn't that waste our time? why don't we first predict the transition before we look @ the answer choices? wouldn't that be a good strategy?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Either way, you’re assessing each choice. Even if you have a prediction, you’re going to need to compare it to the answer choices to see which one matches. If you happen to have a confident prediction, make sure it’s in the same Dumb Summary categories that we put the answers in.

[@Andrew-Tsegaye]

@SetteleTutoring perfect 👌

[@symplylilly6139]

So glad i saw this video😂😭😭😭

[@SetteleTutoring]

Glad I could help!

[@m00dys0ngbird]

can u make video on last min revision for November sat?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yeah, I got busy with videos like this during the past week, but I’ll try to make one today.

[@m00dys0ngbird]

@@SetteleTutoring thank you for your hardwork

[@PrincessDeborah-l3v]

I actually thought the first question answer was for example 😮

[@SetteleTutoring]

The trap!

[@IELTS9BANDSCORE]

More sat english videos by you

[@SetteleTutoring]

Those are the hardest to make, but I’m trying!

[@KhangDuong-w5x]

May I ask when do we can use 'Granted' as shown on the video, it is in the 'but' category, but when I did some research online it seems like 'Granted' = 'Admittedly'? It's making me confused. Thank you

[@SetteleTutoring]

Admittedly is in the “but” category too! “Mike’s videos are all terrible. Admittedly/Granted, I’ve never seen any of them.”

[@vtuber2311]

This is really helpful 😭😭 may I ask what is “ in other words” categorized in?😭

[@SetteleTutoring]

It’s in the second list of words not in the main categories. It’s basically a summary phrase, but follow my specific advice about it in the video. It’s very literal. It means we’re going to say the same thing... in other words.

[@anvikaboyina]

hi! why doesn't ultimately go under restatement?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Because it’s such a weird word. It can be restatement, but it can also be contrast sometimes. I just didn’t think it was close enough to something like “in conclusion” to put it in that same category.

[@achyuthkarnam3474]

are your questions from the question bank?

[@SetteleTutoring]

The description of the video will tell you. If it’s from the Question Bank or a practice test, the video will always be well-labeled. If not, then it’s a question that I wrote. Both the questions in this lesson were were written by me!

[@vardaansaraogi4534]

Hello! What about the transition "as such"? Which category does that fall in

[@SetteleTutoring]

as such = so !

[@DISAPPEARED-TO10D]

what is meant by members only ?? and how to be one? does that mean subscribers only or do you have a membership thing, if yes then how to be a member and access those member only videos?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yes, I offer paid channel memberships that give access to all of the questions I write and explanations for those questions. Here’s the link and info: kzbin.infojoin

[@MuhammadRafay-df1hl]

Which category does again and again lie in?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Not every transition fits a category. When a transition has common words, just go by their meaning. “Again and again” just means what it sounds like. You’re repeating something again and again.

[@vineethmenon269]

Good video but I think you were a little excessive on explaining how you extracted and dumbed down these words and which words are in which column. Otherwise, the video is really informative and descriptive!

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yes, there are some nuances to the words that might not make any category a list of perfect synonyms, but those subtle differences rarely matter. If the strategy works 85% of the time, that’s a very successful strategy. Glad you like it!

[@m00dys0ngbird]

should we trust our gut feelings while answering reading and writing questions? 😭

[@SetteleTutoring]

It depends on the type of question. For grammar, if you follow your gut, you’re very likely to fall for traps. For vocab, we sometimes have no choice but to use our instincts because we have a feeling about which words are right, even if we can’t define them. But no matter what, the goal is to be proving your answers with evidence as much as possible. There’s always a concrete reason why the right answer is right and the wrong answers are wrong.

[@m00dys0ngbird]

@@SetteleTutoring thank you so much!! may God bless u 💗💗

[@igniz-2591]

can you explain the transition "Of course" for me please. It appeared on my October SAT

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yes, this is a perfect example of why we can’t memorize all of the transition words but it doesn’t really matter. I would be good money that the other answer choices for that question were all members of the 4 main categories (and, so, but, for example). “Of course” would be very similar to “indeed” and “in fact”. If it was the correct answer, it would likely be easier to prove everything else wrong.
