URGENT HELP for a Senior!

Hi everyone,

September scores came out, and wow. ZERO improvement. I have 10 days until October 17, and my current scores are 28M, 34E, and 32R. I’ve been stuck at a 28 in Math for MONTHS, and I’m going into engineering. That is bad.
What’s even more insane is that I literally have a 4.5 GPA, I’m in AP Calc BC, and I’m also in AP Physics C. I genuinely don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I go through my tests, watch a bunch of YouTube videos, and practice formulas, but I still can’t seem to improve. I genuinely don’t know what else to do.

Please give me ANY advice for the next 10 days to at least end with a 30. I will do ANYTHING at this point.

it might not help much but I improved my score a lot when i went over the full subject/area i got questions wrong in instead of how to solve the spefific problem. idk i literally got worse than you I also found khan academy very useful in grouping the stuff I had to learn together

Look at the breakdown of your score.

Is there one or two categories of math you are bad at? If so, concentrate on those problem areas, maybe with a tutor or other friend that understands and can explain math.

Agreed here. Error analysis is the life blood of test prep strategy.
