I've completed the j08 october and april, and also the two from act website. I was wondering where I could find more questions (perhaps even a question bank). The truth is I have no clue what to study now. What am I supposed to do if I have no questions to try? My highest is a composite 34, with my highest being a 33 on the harder ones, but I need to improve to a 35 on the actual act this september so I need prep material!!

Asian, Male, US citizen, psych major
Grade: 12th
All 5 AP Bio, APUSH, Calc AB, Psych, HuG, Lang, Chinese (didn't get to take APs in freshmen year). This year taking Gov, Lit, Cybersecurity, Stats, BC, APES
GPA: 4.13/4.00 Unweighted, 4.87/5.00 Weighted (I took one CP Class, which makes the max actually 4.89)
SAT: 1480. This is the thing I'm most worried about :(.
Gonna retake this August and September, but can't garuntee higher score.
Extracurriculars (Year inconsistencies was most likely because I transferred during my Sophomore year, explained in Additional info!)

New Account on both, on tiktok my first two videos got 118k and 21k views respectively, while on instagram one got 153 views and the other is empty (like there’s nothing on the view count, it doesn’t even say 0). Am i Shadowbanned or smt? I think my content fits Instagrams likings even more than that of tiktok’s, yet i fail to go viral on instagram. It’s so weird. I follow 0 people on both accounts, but i don’t think that’s a problem either. Any clue?

After the June SAT, and studying so fucking much, I realized that there were still some question types and formulas I just didn't know about. For example, the arc quesiton, where you had to double the arc and find it. I would've never known that no matter the amount of questions I had done. Does anybody have a list of EVERY SINGLE SAT Math formula so I never make a mistake like this EVER again?

Also whats the best tools to use for SAT? I'm talking online of course.

This hurts so bad. Nothing to superscore either. I did worse on both sections and I actually studied so much this time. Fuck fuck fuck dude.

Should i deadass switch to ACT. I've lost so much hope. Everybody says August is hella hard as well.

Before the update, it was completely possible, but now its impossible to set the second player as keyboard. Does anybody have a solution? I still really want to play thsi game local

Recently, I've gone through failure after failure, and as it piles up, today has been one of the worst, due to the SAT I prepared ages for. I decided I would study up a little on stoicism, since I've heard about it. The thing is, it couldn't stop bothering me that I probably didn't break 1500 this time again since I have garunteed mistakes and this emotion has just consumed me. Everytime I think about this, I think: "I can't control this anymore, why do I still care?" but i genuinely jsut do. When all logic defies my emotions, my emotions still define how I feel, and I ended up just wasting the day again, feeling even worse now. How do we control the invetible emotions that will occur after failure or somthing bad happening out of our control? What should we do? Should we just immediately stop?

After getting a 1550 I was hella motivated, but then test after test it seemed like I was getting worse. I got a 1430, 120 points lower the next day, and then a 1480 which was still lower, and just today a 1470. Deadass keep making the dumnbest mistakes in the easiest math questions too... this is basically my last chance for a 1530, what should i do

Those who have done this before is this more effective than just straight up studying vocab? if neither is, whats the best method? THANKS!

Hello. I've recently gotten interested into politics as a high schooler. From what I heard, most of the jobs don't pay much and that worries me. I was also wondering if polisci was a lot more different from the political phenemenon we talk about nowadays. Thanks

I often like to do the questions and read the passage as it goes, but I'm not sure if the actual exam will follow a linear pattern like that (Past AP testers please answer!!), and whenever I try to read it first, I kinda forgt and have to reread it when answering the question anyways. I was wondering if I should take a diferent approach though by instead skimming throuhg all the questions and annotating or is that too much of a waste of time? Just wondering, thanks!

I'm GARBAGE at MCQ. Averaging 60% on all my MCQ mocks. I'm rly rly good at DBQ and LEQ though but just NOT MCQ WTFFFF

title. I'm doing pretty good on the practice exams but i worry that the actual test will be like 10 times harder just like the SAT practices.
