If you’re applying Early Action or Early Decision, October may be your safest final chance to get a stronger score in before deadlines.
If you’re applying Regular Decision, you may still have November and December - but exactly how much time you have depends on your college list, application round, current score, and target score.
And this is where I see students waste the most time:
They know they want +50, +100, or +150 points…
but they don’t actually know where those points are supposed to come from.
At this stage, prep should be extremely targeted.
Which question types are costing you points? What can realistically improve before your next SAT? Should you even retake? Which test date makes the most sense for your applications?
If you’re a senior and want help figuring that out, you can book a 1:1 consultation with me.
We’ll look at your current situation, your score goals, your deadlines, and build a realistic plan for your remaining SAT opportunities.
And if working together makes sense, we can figure that out too.
Save this before college application season gets chaotic 🫨
I pulled together top U.S. colleges for 8 of the most popular majors - so you can start building a college list based on what you actually want to study, not just the school name.
And remember: getting the grades and building the list is only part of the application. Your essays are where admissions officers actually get to understand who you are - and why you belong there.
If you want a higher SAT Verbal score, doing more random practice questions is not always the answer.
Sometimes your reading level is the bottleneck.
Save this list and pick one book that feels slightly harder than what you normally read. Even 20–30 minutes a day can help you get better at following dense sentences, spotting tone shifts, understanding unfamiliar vocabulary in context, and figuring out what the author is actually saying.
That’s also how we approach Verbal inside SAT Boost.
We don’t just throw questions at you and hope your score goes up. We work on the actual skills behind them:
• live Reading + Grammar classes with Katya • pre-recorded lessons for self-study • reading recommendations based on what you need to improve • unique daily practice exercises • consistent practice designed to actually move your score
Basically: we train your reading brain, not just your ability to memorize SAT tricks.
If September or October is your SAT, now is the time to lock in.
These are some of the question types I’m predicting for the August test.
📌 Your challenge: • Solve them yourself. • Swipe to the end for the answers & explanations. • Save this post and come back before test day.
Remember: these aren’t “leaked questions.” They’re prediction question types based on years of analyzing College Board patterns.

You guys ask me all the time for SAT vocab lists. So here you go… BUT
…here’s the TRUTH fake tutors & companies that steal my content won’t tell you:
A vocabulary list alone will NOT improve your SAT Reading score 🪫
Memorizing random words isn’t the secret. Building strong reading comprehension is.
That’s why I have my students read challenging fiction and nonfiction every day (yes, including The Economist). We practice understanding main ideas, arguments, tone, and how words work in context.
That’s what actually moves your score.
These words are different. Every single one comes from years of analyzing SATs, scientific, political, and social articles, plus my own private resources I use with students.
So don’t just memorize them.
💡 Find them in what you read. 🤔 Guess the meaning from context first. ✍🏻 Use them in your own writing and conversations.
Words matter. But understanding how they’re used matters even more. That’s the skill the SAT is actually testing 💚

Seniors: your SAT timeline is getting very real 👀
There are only 3 SAT dates left in 2026.
But they do NOT all mean the same thing.
