hi guys. posted a lot on here but would like some final help! on SAT math, i've gotten 630, 650, and 620 in that order. between the 650 and 620, i lightly studied for geometry and it increased but psda decreased and that's the extent of my studying. i'm naturally better at english (740 no studying) and would like tips for september. i'm considering khan academy but not sure if i should do the whole course? ik the collegeboard question bank should be helpful. if this adds more context, my categories are missing one bar in everything except missing 3 in psda (previously it had been missing one and geometry had been missing 2). let me know and thank you! also, is this even a feasible goal? i def haven't maxxed out my potential and am pretty good w pattern recognition

caption. i'm not bad at math just kind of rusty and unfamiliar with SAT math style. my current superscore is a 740 english and 650 math with no studying on either. i'm naturally better at english but aiming for a 1450+ in september. will it be easier to see this gain with lots of drilling + learning desmos since it's my math score that's lower, or not?

if you know me irl no you don't :)

hi! i’m a current junior building a list for next year. i’m a CA resident with a 4.0/4.9 (hella grade inflation) gpa, lots of service related ecs (some national), and pretty decent writing awards (scholastic gold medal, john locke shortlist, etc). not revealing too much since i don’t want to get doxxed but what are some good safeties? i’m interested in sociology for undergraduate and want to eventually get a phd and be a professor in history, gender studies, etc. please let me know!
