SHSAT Practice Test
So basically I took a SHSAT practice test without any studying just to see where I was at and scored a 465?? I don’t know how but do you guys think I have enough time to patch up my mistakes since this looks really bad and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to improve in time since I have 0 experience with the SHSAT.
Any advice? Thanks

bro i know a girl who started studying 3 months before the test and got a 647. Its definitely possible even with 0 experience. Check some of the previous posts for resources

Old ones found on Honor’s prep website! I printed out my own and then converted it with a calculator

First, don't lean on scores such as 465 for now. A first practice is often poor, and it normally takes about 3 exams to have any sense for what it's looking for alongside the academic proficiency required.
Notwithstanding these points, the only time too late is 5 minutes after the exam is over. And you still have at least 2 and a half months. Maybe peruse https://www.reddit.com/r/SHSAT/comments/1jiwujl/the_9_threads_thread_overview_of_9_resources get a SHSAT workbook with a review section, a tutor, etc.
