BackgroundLink to the section: Background
Oyshi is an admission-test instructor who prepares students for standardised exams — the SAT, AP exams, GST and GAT among them — and brings that teaching experience to Preptics.
As content auditor, Oyshi has reviewed every question in the three published practice tests, every lesson and every guide on the site: answer keys, explanations and figures, checked for accuracy and against the Digital SAT's published specifications. Oyshi also tests new parts of the product before students reach them.
Oyshi holds a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University (MBSTU), and brings that quantitative grounding to checking Math items one step at a time.
Oyshi writes Preptics' guides on the test itself and how to prepare for it: what counts as a good score for the colleges you are applying to, how many practice tests are worth sitting, whether to guess, and how to turn a result into next week's plan.

Do SAT section scores get averaged into the total?
Reading and Writing and Math are each scored 200–800 and added, not averaged. What that means for where your study time should go.
How should you read your practice test results?
Your scaled score is the least useful number on the results page. What to read first, and why to review the questions you got right.
What counts as a good SAT score?
Why there is no single answer, how to find the number that is good for you, and what a percentile does and does not tell you.
How many full-length practice tests should you take?
Why three to five under real conditions beats ten taken carelessly, when to sit the first, how to space them, and when more stops helping.
Is there a penalty for guessing on the Digital SAT?
No. A wrong answer costs nothing beyond the point you did not earn, so a blank is worse than a guess. It also changes how you manage the clock.
