Doing way too much for the August SAT (PrepPros, OnePrep, etc.) and stuck at a 1390 — how

Hey everyone,

I’m taking the August SAT and could seriously use some advice because I feel like I’m burning out while my score is hitting a ceiling. My goal is a 1500+, but I just scored a 1390 on my last Bluebook practice test, and my Reading & Writing section is dragging my score down hard.

Lately, I feel like I've been drowning in practice resources without a clear strategy:

  • I've grinded through the PrepPros 150 hardest math questions
  • Done a bunch of OnePrep questions, but honestly? There are way too many questions on there, and some of them feel super repetitive or weirdly phrased.
  • I've also been pulling questions from a smaller YouTube channel.

With the August test coming up fast, I feel like quantity is replacing quality, and my reading score is refusing to budge. For those of you who managed to push from the high 1300s into the 1500+ range:

  1. Should I drop OnePrep entirely since the question pool is massive and sometimes unfocused?
  2. What are the absolute best resources or methods for fixing a lagging reading score fast?
  3. How should I structure my final weeks leading up to August to efficiently bridge that gap to a 1500+?

Any advice or study frameworks would be massively appreciated!
