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

I need help with manifestation and I’m struggling with that shit. I don't know what kind of method to use because there's so many methods and I get overwhelmed with the bunch of shit I see out there on social media. I'm not lazy, but I want to manifest so many things at once and it’s a lot.

For example, I have this big dream to get into a pretty difficult top school for a very specific major. It’s a very prestigious school. I also want to get into rowing as a sport, but I have a disadvantage because I’m 5'3" and I’m stuck on that (that’s why I want to manifest to grow height) I’m trying to improve my GPA and do a bunch of stuff, but I don't know how the fuck I'm gonna have to do it.
My issue is with my own head, the frustration and the overwhelm. And I already fucking know that, so please don’t tell me "you need to change your mindset." I’m aware of that. I just don't know how the fuck to actually do it when the advice out there is so unhelpful.

I want very specific things and I don’t know where to start or which things to want first because I want all of them. I’m currently in community college juggling a bunch of stuff. I need to take the SAT (never done it) and I need to manifest a good score. I need to manifest a good GPA for this final semester, I have two finals left and I need to kill them because my GPA is killing me right now. I want to manifest getting into this school and getting into a specific program for my extracurriculars.
How the fuck do you guys manifest so many big things at once? How do people actually do this? I’m tired. I feel like manifestation is real, but I don't know how the fuck to do it. I’m really hating my life the way it is right now and I just want to make it.

Please help mee
My dms are open

Hey everyone,

I’m 20 years old and just recently started getting really interested in rowing. I’ve never done the sport before, but I’ve been looking for a competitive sport to get into and rowing is the one I keep coming back to.

I just started training this week with basic workouts to build my conditioning, and I also tried using a rowing machine at my college gym for the first time today. I’m still very much a beginner and figuring things out step by step. I also used ChatGPT to help me set up a simple starter training routine just to begin building consistency. ( any advice on a workout routine or anything like I’ll be super helpful)

Right now I commute to college, so I don’t live on campus, but I do have access to a car, which helps a bit. The main issue is still that the rowing clubs near me are kind of far, so I’m trying to figure out how to realistically balance travel, training, and school. I also don’t have a rowing machine at home, so I’m trying to split my training between my college gym and home workouts.

On top of that, I’m going to be doing a NASA summer program, so my schedule is going to be pretty packed, but I still really want to find a way to take rowing seriously.

One thing I’ve been looking into is lightweight rowing programs. I’m 5’3”, so I’ve been trying to understand how that affects my options and whether lightweight rowing or certain programs are more realistic for someone my size. I’m still learning how all of that works, so any advice there would be really helpful too.

My long-term goal is to eventually transfer to a university with a strong rowing program and hopefully compete at the college level, even if I’m starting late as a beginner. I’ve been looking at schools like UGA, Georgia Tech, and Emory in-state, and also some out-of-state schools with stronger rowing programs.

I guess what I’m trying to figure out is how realistic this path actually is, because I’m starting at 20, with no experience, limited access to clubs nearby, and trying to build up from scratch while balancing school and work.

If anyone has started rowing later like this, or has experience with walk-ons, lightweight rowing, or beginner pathways into college rowing, I’d really appreciate hearing your perspective or advice.

Thanks :)
