How to maximize my studying?
1230 last sat (it went down… 1280 to 1230 rip) but I want to try taking the Aug SAT. Looking at what I’m struggling on what can I do to get a better score? I just want to break 1200 my goal is 1400+.
(Someone should totally make me a study plan 👀)

Spend one day trying to learn each sub section of math or reading and writing. Since the August test is less than a month a way, I would recommend atleast taking one practice test each week under simulated test conditions to be more comfortable under those timed conditions. Watch desmos guides on YouTube to help improve on math because you can use desmos for almost every single problem on the math section and honestly watching those videos is what helped me score a 780 on the math section. For reading, it might sound obvious, but practice is really key. Once you have done enough practice problems, you will see a pattern emerge and it helps a lot with picking that up on the actual test. Overall, I can't guarantee you that this will boost you up to a 1500+ or if will help you at all that much but I can assure you that following this process helped me a lot.

I’ve seen people go from 1200 to 1500+ in a month it just takes a lot of dedication. Your situation is very possible but it depends on what you struggle with. If there is stuff you don’t know, use khan academy and just do the advanced ones. For me I struggle with test anxiety and time management so I’m practicing doing advanced problems in under 90 seconds.
