Hi everyone,

I need to score at least 1500/1600 on the SAT to get into my dream bachelor's program. Unfortunately, because of financial difficulties and some poor educational choices, I've been away from serious math (and studying in general) for about five years. To be honest, my fundamentals feel terrible right now. I struggle with mental calculations, and sometimes I feel embarrassed by how much I've forgotten. I have four months to dedicate to this goal, and I'm fully committed. I've always been a good student when I put in the work, and I'm willing to study consistently every day.

My biggest problem is that I'm completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of resources online. Every time I search for SAT advice, I find hundreds of books, courses, YouTube channels, and study plans, and I end up not knowing where to begin. I don't want to waste precious time on unnecessary classes or mediocre resources. I want the most efficient roadmap possible to maximize my chances of reaching 1500+.

So, if you were in my position, where would you start? What would your month-by-month (or week-by-week) plan look like? Which resources are truly worth using, and which ones should I avoid?

Any advice from people who started with weak fundamentals and still achieved a high score would mean a lot to me. Thank you!

I'm 25 and thinking about leaving IT because I honestly hate it and don't see myself working in this field long-term.

I've always been fascinated by genetics and want to eventually work in gene editing/genetic engineering, especially involving animals and humans. I'm considering starting a bachelor's degree in Genomics, but I'm confused about the path afterward.

I can find jobs called "genetic engineer," yet I rarely see master's programs with that exact name. What do people usually study after a Genomics degree to enter this field? Biotechnology, molecular biology, something else?

Is changing careers at 25 for this goal worth it, or am I being unrealistic? I'd love to hear from people already working in genetics or biotech.

Hello! I am a non-EU student planning to apply to the Genomics program next year. I need to start preparing for the SAT, but I would first like to get an idea of what score I should aim for. Since there are only 12 available places, I'm quite worried about my chances.

For those who were accepted this June, would you mind sharing the ranking list or the SAT scores of admitted students? It would really help me set a realistic target. Thank you!
