Help!!! score is reducing day by day as August SAT is approaching 😭😭

Hey guys, I don't know what is happening with me. It's like I'm getting bored of reading the past. I'm not able to comprehend them properly and am not able to get the correct answer. My score is reducing terribly day by day instead of improving. As the August SAT is approaching, only a week is remaining.

I even tried to take a break from these studies and get some time out, thinking it was just stress but it's not the case. I've taken the break already for two to three days but still there's nothing. Please help. What should I do? Why is this happening? Can someone please help?

Unpopular Opinion: Mary is not biased!! She is just overprotective about Sheldon because Georgie and Missy have the EQ needed.

Mary knows that Georgie and Missy could easily handle the world outside, whereas Sheldon can't. Sheldon can't understand the hidden intentions and emotions of people around, so yeah. It is obvious she had to focus on the one despite him being intelligent, is what I feel. Drop down what y'all feel about this.

Is it plausible for these type of question to appear on Mod 2 Math? like even 1 of these?

This seems horrendous to me. It is solvable, but it will take a lot of time.

Part 2 - Prediction for the AUGUST SAT: The "Deceptive Module 1" Math Trap

The mathematical recalibration reveals a fascinating balancing act that will likely play psychological tricks on students.

The Data: The College Board actively softened the legacy math questions (20 were shifted easier, while only 16 shifted harder), heavily normalizing the old pool toward "Medium". However, they simultaneously dropped 65 newly minted "Hard" questions into the math bank.

What to Expect: The first, baseline Math Module will likely feel very straightforward and smooth, so that u have a false sense of security with accessible Algebra. The routing into Module 2 will then kick ur ass with the 65 new "Hard" concepts, particularly non-linear functions (18 affected questions) and systems of equations. The difficulty curve between Math Module 1 and Module 2 will be exceptionally steep on August 22nd.

Note: this data and prediction is made by the new 120 questions added to the question bank on 30th July. This is not definite but just a prediction from my end after analysis. Thank you!

Prediction for the AUGUST SAT: The R&W "Module 2" Will Be an Absolute Gauntlet For August

Note: This prediction is made from the newly added 151 ERW questions in the question bank!

  1. The Influx of Hard Verbal: They just flooded the verbal question bank with 150 brand-new questions, and a staggering 85 of them (56.7%) are classified strictly as "Hard".
  2. The Push on Legacy Questions: At the same time, they re-evaluated 48 existing Information and Ideas questions, shifting 30 of them into harder difficulty tiers.
  3. What to Expect: Students who route into the Hard adaptive module for Reading and Writing will likely face highly dense, complex passages focused on Command of Evidence (which saw 42 affected questions) and Inferences (which saw 32 affected questions). Be prepared for aggressive traps related to scientific summaries and historical text comprehension.

42.5% of the questions added were belonging to Gemoetry domain of the SAT MATH

what does this indicate? A very high shift towards geometry in August??

Any Other Way to get in into IISC besides JEE for UG. Read Body

So the thing is, I am currently in 12th grade, and I am very deeply interested in computational neuroscience. I am not interested in these usual subjects like physics, chemistry, and math. I know they are important, but I don't think I have the caliber to do or crack JEE and get placement in IISc. It's not that I don't have any knowledge. It's not like I'm very bad at those subjects. It's just that I am not a person who is meant for competitive exams. I have really heard a lot about the research culture in IISc, which is what makes me attracted to it. The thing is that I wasted my 11th by not doing these subjects, like usual subjects like physics, chemistry, or maths, but rather have been deeply inclined towards research aspects; I have written four research papers on computational neuroscience. I have research internships at prestigious US universities such as MIT, Stanford, CMU, and NTU of Asia. I have collaborations with professors all over the world. My first paper has also been cited by professors at MIT. So it's like I am into research, and I have thought of doing it and pursuing it again, but if JEE is the only way, I am not sure what I can do then : ( Please help 🙏🏻
