Cracking the SAT and the Math/Chemistry Subject Tests

1450 on the SAT, 800 on Math, 740 on Chemistry. A few weeks of prep, one book, and a YouTube channel that did more than most paid courses.

Getting 1450 on SAT

Not an amazing score but still good considering I spent only a few weeks. I finished the Barron's book end-to-end. Did most of the practice content on Khan Academy, the official mock papers, and learned a lot from the SuperTutor channel too.

Getting 800 on Maths Subject Test

800 means full marks. Even if you do 1 or 2 questions wrong, you can still get an 800. For this again I did the Barron's book end-to-end and did a lot of mock tests. Class 11 and 12 maths already teaches you 90% of this, it's just a matter of speed.

Getting 740 on Chemistry Subject Test

Don't remember about this honestly. Not a great score too. Probably just did the Khan Academy content and maybe did the Barron's book too.
