🧠 From 1230 to 1520: How One Student Used JanusPrep.ai to Break the SAT Plateau

“I thought I hit my limit… until I stopped studying like everyone else.”

That’s what Minh, a high school senior from Vietnam, shared after jumping from a 1230 to a 1520 SAT score in just over two months—without a private tutor.

His secret? Strategic review, AI-based feedback, and an obsession with tracking why he got questions wrong—not just drilling more tests.

This is his SAT journey—and how you can use the same system with JanusPrep.ai.

📉 The Problem: Stuck at 1200s

Like many students, Minh started by doing tons of practice tests. But no matter how many he did, his score stayed in the 1200–1250 range.

“I didn’t know what to focus on. I kept making the same mistakes and didn’t realize it.”

He needed more than just practice—he needed insight.

🔍 The Shift: Tracking Errors with JanusPrep.ai

After switching to JanusPrep.ai, Minh focused on quality over quantity. Instead of rushing through more tests, he started:

• Using AI error tracking to identify top weak areas

  → e.g., “central idea inference” in reading and “nonlinear equations” in math

• Practicing just those modules for a week

• Re-taking the same test to check retention after reviewing errors

📈 Within 3 weeks, his reading score jumped by 60 points.

🧠 The Study Formula That Worked:

Minh’s weekly schedule using JanusPrep looked like this:

💡 His Top 3 Tips for High Scorers-in-the-Making

1. “Don’t fear repetition.”

   Re-do the same hard test questions 3x if needed. Mastery > moving on.

2. “Track your mistake patterns.”

   JanusPrep shows which questions you almost got right—use those to make fast gains.

3. “Use data to guide, not feelings.”

   Don’t just guess what you’re bad at. The AI knows. Let it lead.

🎓 The Result: 1520 and Confidence to Apply Anywhere

Minh’s final test was in October—he scored 1520 (R: 750, M: 770).

Now he’s applying to Duke, UCLA, and NYU—with confidence.

“What changed wasn’t just my score. It was how I approached problems.”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For Parents:

Minh’s parents didn’t micromanage. They helped by:

• Setting a quiet, focused routine

• Checking in weekly with one question:

  “What module challenged you most this week?”

That emotional safety gave Minh space to own his process.
