how to start studying for the SAT
I’m a community college student planning to transfer, and I recently took a full-length digital SAT practice test. My results were very low in math (around 200 range) and better in Reading/Writing, but I still feel like I’m starting from a very basic level.
I want to be honest about my situation: I have dyscalculia and I’ve always struggled significantly with math. In middle school and high school, I didn’t have strong math instruction or support, and I’ve had long-term gaps in foundational skills (fractions, algebra basics, etc.). English is my second language, but I feel more comfortable in Reading/Writing than in math.
Right now, I feel overwhelmed and honestly a bit lost on where to even begin. I want to improve, but most SAT prep advice I see assumes a stronger math foundation than I currently have.
I’m planning to take the SAT in August and I’m trying to build a realistic study plan between now and then.
If anyone has been in a similar situation (especially starting with weak math foundations or learning differences like dyscalculia), I would really appreciate advice
