Hi! This is Tanvir from the Business studies group in Notre Dame College. My aim was to crack the SAT in order to get into top international universities. However, it was challenging as a non-science student from the Bangla version, especially with the recent transition to a digital format of SAT. Despite these concerns, I decided to sit for the test.

N. B. Here in Bangladesh, the science students are privileged to have a pythagorean brain as they are really good in math. Counterintuitively, The non-science peeps are way more weaker in terms of solving math. So, my breakdowns and methods might seem a bit elementary and perhaps even silly. Anyways, Letโs Dive:

It is mandatory, whether you are from science or nonscience, to go through all Four modules of DSAT Math. Khan Academy is the most organized platform to understand what topic to be studied. The College Board tests basic concepts. If you go through every module of Khan Academy DSAT, youโll grasp the key concepts. Clearing all the single components is really important, showing how well you know the concepts. If you dedicate your time and attention solely to Khan Academy, you wonโt be a loser. Surprisingly you will be able to gather at least 600 in the math section by understanding the concepts. You donโt have to trust me: experience the magic by sitting for Bluebook practice test 1.

a. This is the stage where you can meet an equalizing situation with your science buddies after finishing the topics and fixing the fundamentals of DSAT Math. Start again with Khan Academy, which offers skill levels: Foundation, Medium, and Advanced. After mastering the basics through notes and videos, engage in practice tests, quizzes, and unit tests. Aim to complete at least the Foundation and Medium skill level tests. It is because most of the questions on your exam day will come from there as I have witnessed. This strategy can secure you a score in the 600โ650 range. If you want to hit 700+, you have to finish the advanced skill tests as well. For the ultimate outcome, take Bluebook practice test 2.
b. I get it, you might be tired of my Khan Academy promotion. No, Salman Khan didnโt sponsor me; Iโm just genuinely thankful for the platform, and youโll likely feel the same. By the way, In the final two weeks before the exam I was done with Khan Academy and was practicing past paper questions which are also highly recommended to find your accuracy. Please Complete Bluebook practice test 3 while working on past papers.
c. You just got good accuracy. Now my opinion is not to stuck only with those previous resources. The College Board has its own study material โOfficial SAT Study Guideโ. You donโt need to purchase that book though. Watch its math solutions on the โTutorllini Test Prepโ YouTube channel, where a helpful playlist is available which I found really helpful. These practices can empower you to get a 750+. Just see the magic in your Bluebook practice test 4.

You know you can use your Calculator throughout the test. So what? Wait! You will have a Desmos Calculator in the bluebook which will be available also on your test day. A Desmos which was the best weapon for me to crack most of the math within a short period of time. Mastering Desmos is not a big deal. You will find an another playlist in โTutorllini Test Prepโ Youtube channel to learn Desmos. Again saying, Tutorllini didnโt sponsor me either. I found their playlists really life saving for me. Just go for it. Desmos will boost your confidence, lessen your times, increase your chance to hit your desired score.
No need to start preparing 4โ5 months in advance; dedicate a solid 1โ2 months, even if youโre not a science student. Simply follow and complete my guideline on Digital SAT Math preparation
