Hi! Pleased you see this post!

Well torture is an exaggeration now that we’re over it, but we were in your shoes. We felt so lost, frustrated, and underappreciated by the SAT, which btw, doesn’t even mean anything anymore.  Still, it is a requirement to get your American dream and so we’re here to help.

Post any question you have here / my ask (click on square number 2 on my blog page) - whether it’s about tips, revision resources, worries, or specific actual exam questions. We will answer all.

We completed the SAT with 1530 and 1560/1600. Hence, you can take our answers with 99% confidence, at least for Writing and Maths. As for Reading, take it with a pinch of salt that we didn’t full score...

Oh, if you happen to Vietnamese and prefer the language, feel free to ask in Viet!

Munificent

DEFINITION: very generous.

Munificent? How about magnificent? 

Ehhhhhhh.

Okay, let’s try that again. 

Munificent? How about Maleficent? 

Ahhh no. 

Munificent? How about proficient? 

Definite no. 

How about we just say that magnificent, Maleficent and proficient are very generous terms?

Indignation

DEFINITION: anger as a result of something unjust.

If you look at this word, you should see indignant in there, which means basically the exact same thing as indignation, except they’re used as different parts of speech. 

However, if you don’t see indignant in there, you might see dig nation.

Yeah, I know it sounds a little weird (or wurd (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞) but stick with me here. So if you do happen to see dig nation, you would think that someone’s doing some digging, but then there are also some people who aren’t doing the digging. 

Think ancient Egypt. The majority of people were slaves, and they were doing the heavy lifting (literally) but there was also a minority of people telling them what to do. However, that minority of people wasn’t put there by democratic vote, but instead by royal blood. 

Wouldn’t the dig nation folks be a little indignant? And wouldn’t they be in a state of indignation?
