You and she should google which schools require this. It’s very few of note. Georgetown, Penn, Howard, Cornell, Colgate and a bunch of random schools she’s probably not considering.

DS was not thrilled, thought it was tough and possibly several wrong in each section. Is what it is, there’s always TO or the UCs

Why is a kid that is in the first month of 10th grade taking the SAT at all? Wait until next summer before 11th or fall of 11th for her first attempt, PP.

Agreed. No wonder your kid struggled. Poor kid. You need to majorly chill out.

Mine said it was "eh"

His location also had administrative issues and started 45 minutes late. Was hoping for a one and done. But sounds like another test is in the future.

If it’s true that actual test questions were on a YouTube video before the test, there could be repercussions…

To clarify, 5 of those type of questions. Not the questions verbatim.

These seem like common problems. Posters on Reddit have said do all the question from the question bank, khan academy, practice exams should cover most/all possible types of questions.

I envy you! I am so close to my DC that they share everything, and talk at length to me every day about everything- sometimes some distance and being ignored like this would be nice!

“Good but hard” is what I got

Our daughter’s first time testing was this morning. She said every question was in line with the previous college board test study questions although she had to do more back solving on math than she did on practice tests.
