If you’re taking the November 2025 SAT, you’re probably wondering what kinds of questions, rules, and problem types you should focus on as test day approaches. After 18+ years of coaching students, scoring a 1590 on the SAT, and releasing the very first SAT predictions video back in 2022, I’ve developed a reputation for calling what’s going to show up on the test.
This blog post breaks down my Top 10 Predictions for the November SAT—covering both English and Math—so you can study smarter and maximize your score.
Don’t feel like reading? Watch the full YouTube video here where I walk through each problem step-by-step.
🔮 Prediction 1: Regression with DESMOS (Math)
👉 If the question includes an exponential or linear equation and points, set up a table and use y1 ~ model(x1) in Desmos to run a regression. Remember: use the tilde (~) instead of =.
🔮 Prediction 2: Modifier Questions (Lead-in)
👉 When you see a long phrase before a comma, ask: “What is being described?” The subject must logically follow the modifier. In this example, only ‘findings’ make sense as being ‘supported by analyses.’
🔮 Prediction 3: Difficult Trigonometry Problem
👉 When the question asks for a side length, label what’s given (adjacent/hypotenuse/opposite). Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse. Watch for the fraction setup — that’s often the correct answer form!
🔮 Prediction 4: Picking the -ing
👉 If a phrase between commas describes the subject and the real verb comes later, use the -ing form (“explaining,” not “explains”). It keeps the sentence grammatically balanced.
🔮 Prediction 5: Hard Geometry Problem with Special Right Triangles
👉 For 45-45-90 triangles, sides are in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2. Plug into Desmos if needed, but round only at the end (e.g., 36.77 → 36.77 ✅ not 36.8 🚫).
🔮 Prediction 6: Only One Option Separating 2 Complete Sentences
👉 Read both sides of the punctuation. If each could stand alone, only a period, semicolon, or conjunction can connect them — pick the option that fits that rule.
🔮 Prediction 7: Object Launched into Air (Quadratic)
👉 Plot (0, 8), (16, 1800), (32, 8) to represent launch, peak, and landing. Run a quadratic regression in Desmos, then plug in x = 24 to find height ≈ 1352 ft.
🔮 Bonus Prediction — Scalar Multiples of Different Predictions
👉 If areas scale by 9, sides scale by √9 = 3. For volumes, cube or cube-root the ratio. Identify the dimension before applying your scalar multiple.
🔮 Prediction 8: Semicolon Separating Items in a List
👉 When each list item includes its own commas, use semicolons to separate them. Maintain parallel structure — each item should follow the same grammatical pattern.
🔮 Prediction 9: Number of Solutions of an Equatio
👉 Graph both sides separately. If changing K makes the lines parallel (no intersection), that K is not possible for ‘exactly one solution.’
🔮 Prediction 10: More Fair November Test
After three tough English sections (August–October), I’m predicting a more balanced, reasonable exam this November — much like last year’s.
If you’re debating whether to test again, November is your moment.
👉 November’s SAT tends to feel fair and straightforward — perfect timing to make your score jump.
