Hi everyone,

I'm a 2025 high school graduate on a gap year, applying to US universities for Fall 2027. My English is around A2-B1 now, and I need 120-130 on the DET (130-135 for one school).

Is 3-4 months of daily focused study realistically enough to get there?

Also, if anyone knows good free resources for DET prep specifically (or general English improvement that helped you jump levels fast), please share

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm an international students applying for Fall 2027 admission I graduated high school in 2025

I've never taken the SAT before, and I'm planning to take it for the first time in the next 3-4 months.

A few questions:

1. Is scoring 1400-1500 realistic in this timeframe for a first-time test-taker

background but no prior SAT prep?

2. What free resources would you recommend, especially

for Reading and Writing since I expect Math to come more naturally to me?

3. How would you structure a 3-4 month study plan for someone starting from scratch?

4. Any tips specific to international students taking the SAT (registration, test centers, etc.
