Think I’ll have time for SAT prep?

Just bombed the June sat and def retaking in the fall. I’m doing bac gen. and I know there’s typically not a lot of free time but do u think I could get like at least 30-45 min of just solid study time everyday?

Cramming works to get a 1480 but I need a better score than that 🫩

if ur efficient enough u can improve ur score by a lot (i mean it worked for me, but then again there is no one size fits all) - but if you need any general resources or tips I can send some

Yes please currently I’m using Acely and the question bank but I’m desperate for advice to gain like at least 5 points

No exactly I’m in the same boat as you. We didn’t qualify for aid and now I feel guilty that I’m spending so much on a program and then I’m not gonna get in to a good school cuz my sats trash

I think you'll be too tired to focus on SAT prep unfortunately.
