[@SetteleTutoring]

Just stick to the plan! Use the strategies, even when you’re nervous and don’t think they’ll work. You’re going to do great! Good luck!

Thank you!

[@savageboss4109]

I can safely say none of this came on the the test this August it felt too easy of a test. So either I studied everything(which I didnt) or the test was no made challenging those time😭👍

[@SetteleTutoring]

I bet you did great! You might have been using strategies that made a lot of the traps go away. That’s the point of the strategies!

[@Didi_uuu]

August 24 guyss good luck

Mike you had public your member videos yesterday for one day 💔.

[@yenvo2519]

How to review questions more effectively and faster ? I have watched your strategy playlist and done many practice questions from bluebook and Question bank but I don’t find myself improving much. When I watch u explain, it seems easy. But when I do it on my own, I still get lost in what I’m reading and fall for re-reading ( just in some few cases dumb summary / connotation help). It wastes my time and my energy. The more I read, I more discouraged I become. I don’t know what I should do now? My exam is in October , im kinda panicking. My score is 600-650, is it possible for me to get 700+ in English section?

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yes, 700+ is possible. You need to just keep chipping away, question by question. Improving the Reading score can be frustrating and slow. It takes a very conscious effort to try actually reading differently. Every vocabulary word you don’t know is another potential loss of points, so you can work to minimize that by memorizing new words. The passages are tough because there are so many words, and the sentences on the hard ones can be long and confusing, but I make it look easy because I have learned when to pay attention to the passages. I can read in such a way that only the very important Strong Words jump out. Most of what I read is going in one ear and out the other, but when I see a phrase that matters, it jumps off the page for me. Dumb Summaries force us to trim out details and think about the words that truly matter. When that fails, the choices have their own Strong Words that you can train yourself to notice. Just keep practicing with that goal in mind.

[@J77H]

I got them all true except for question #2 , man i am not getting its idea😢😢😢

[@SetteleTutoring]

I hope it made sense on the real test! The good news is that there’s nothing to get. They tell us a point, plug it into the equations. Don’t worry about how the equation got built. It’s not worth the mental energy.

How was it? Did u do well

[@AhmadMustafa-l2i]

Dear settele your youtube channel is the best but i think the only problem is there are so many videos there. if you delete videos of old format and use its contents in new format for your new videos it will be good for everybody. pleasssse think about it.

[@SetteleTutoring]

Yeah, this is a good idea. I don’t want to delete them because some of the old test questions are helpful if you run out of digital SAT practice tests, but I can make them unlisted, I think. Where are you running into the old questions? Do they show up as recommended?

[@AhmadMustafa-l2i]

@@SetteleTutoring no my dear. they don't show up as recommended but there are two reasons which i think you should delete them first you could refine their content and use their content in new videos for digital sat and second when first time someone visit your channel and see there are tons of videos they don't want to use your channel cause they think they couldn't find their way through as i thought first and just leave your channel. that is also i think the reason that you don't have lots of subscribers though you are the best while some other channels have more subscribers cause they just look good. thanks

[@homestudywastaken]

can you tell me the logic of the equation and how we can find it without testing the equations question 16:08

[@OverclockingCowboy]

120 + 70 (x - 3) 120 + 70x - 210 70x - 90

[@SetteleTutoring]

You really don’t find the equation without testing. That’s the point! Your logic is likely to be wrong, so it’s best to never go down that path. If the equation fits the points, that’s all that matters. There is no deeper logic beyond that.

[@TestPrepTutoring]

Great topic! These kinds of things are why I got 790 on math three times haha

[@dadams966]

Mike always got my back I swear!! The first one I was like “this is too easy 6” and then he said 18 I was like HAWWW😂😂😂

15:32 where tf he get 210 from

[@PsychoOcto]

Simplify the formula 3(x-70)+120, and we get 3x-210+120

[@SetteleTutoring]

I plugged in 3 for x. Plug Points Into Equations!

[@cubingpro9877]

Great last review

[@idkwhy77]

TYSM!

[@Ayush-y7h]

i am having difficulties to understand why 16:04 D is wrong

[@SetteleTutoring]

You’re over-thinking it. Plug the point (3, 120) into the equation. It produces an invalid result: 120=330. You’re getting tricked into thinking that 120 is a y-intercept. It’s not. Y-intercepts are where x=0, but that’s not the case with that point.

[@Ayush-y7h]

@@SetteleTutoring Thank u for your explanation , i got it :)
