SAT 1530 in 10th grade! Mohinur can now fully focus on the rest of her college application. Check out her story — and you'll see why SATashkent's results come from teamwork, not from any single individual.
My SAT journey was not short like some people's . I have been in it for more than 7 months, and it was both a hard and memorable period of my life. Along the way, I met very close friends, supportive teachers, and so much more.
My very first online teachers were Miss Sevinch (EBRW) and Mr. Akobir (Math). I learned all the basics and fundamentals from them, since when I first started as a 9th grader, I knew nothing about the question types or the overall test format. They taught me all the necessary topics and problem-solving techniques. Mr. Akobir was genuinely someone I look up to as a role model in terms of his skills, love for learning, and personal character. He was the go-to person whenever I had any problem in math, even outside of the SAT.
During the summer, I decided to go for offline EBRW classes and luckily Mr. Jamshidbek Rasulov became my teacher. He was the person who made me work through those important vocabulary books like Panda and Must Know Words from SATashkent. With his strict approach toward assignments and practice tests, I improved a lot in reading and comprehension. I remember how he used to kick students out of lessons for not completing tasks on time, so I always made sure to get everything done. In September, he had no class preparing for the October exam, so I transferred to another teacher: Umarkin. He made sure you completely understood every single answer, always asking "Are you sure you understand?" two or three times. He explained every wrong answer with drawings that were honestly a piece of art. At first I couldn't keep up since he spoke two or three times faster than any teacher I had known, but over time I adapted to his style. By the way, his predictions are among the most reliable ones out there.
In October, I got my very first score: 1470 (680 EBRW / 790 Math). Looking back, it wasn't bad at all given the circumstances, but at the time I was so disappointed and promised myself to do better. For my second attempt, I practiced with Mr. Donobek and unfortunately got the same result despite genuinely feeling like my skills had improved. Unsatisfied, I immediately registered for the March exam.
That is where my journey with the Manhattan Project, led by Miss Rumayso on EBRW, began. Meeting her feels like something that was simply meant to happen. I actually remember an administrator recommending her class back during the summer, but I forgot about it after going to camp. In January I had my very first class with her and she was one of the most patient and dedicated teachers I have ever seen. Her love for her students and willingness to share everything she had always amazed me. No matter how many students were in the class, she gave all of her energy, time, and knowledge to each of us. Even when she was sick, she never missed a lesson.
I am truly grateful to all of my teachers for believing in me and being part of my long, slightly stressful, yet deeply memorable journey.
Mohinur, you were under the same pressure as students 1–2 years older — and you didn't even flinch. That's the kind of composure top universities look for. Thank you for trusting us during one of the most important periods of your life. Good luck. 🤍
