What is the best order to take official practice tests

I am taking the August SAT, and I was wondering what the best order would be in terms of difficulty. I know that all of them are easier than the actual thing. Obviously, I don't want to take the hardest or easiest one first though as I will not get a good baseline. What do you guys recommend for the best order, even though there is not an official best way to take them.

What are the best resources to use (free and paid)

I am struggling to find actually good resources to practice because so far, I have done all the courses on khan academy, all of the hard questions in the sat educator bank for both math and English, as well as using some oneprep (which I found used ai and I didnt like the questions) and some other random free resources. I also have bought the Erica Meltzer Books for Reading specifically. I have also done the digital practice tests and the paper ones. I have heard of uworld, acely, and college panda but I don't want to spend money for all of these and am having trouble deciding which one. If anyone has any more free resources or experience with the paid ones listed above/other ones, please let me know. Thanks!

What skills should I learn?

Now that summer has started, I am looking to learn a new skill along with other activities but am not sure exactly what I want to do. I want it to be related to finance/econ and I am not interested in investing (which is a popular finance activity but I have tried it before and didnt like it very much). If anyone has any advice of something interesting that I could possibly learn that would help for my intended major, that would be great. Thanks!

Got a bad PSAT 10 score compared to PSAT 8/9 and not sure where to go from here

This is the score I got for PSAT 10 which is lower than I expected. I know some people will say this is good but I got a 1410 out of 1440 in PSAT 8/9 without studying. For PSAT 10, I studied for sat in October going over a lot of questions as well as khan academy. Even tho I didn't study at all leading up to the PSAT 10 I still expected to do better. English has always been something I struggled with compared to math. Again, I personally don't believe that this is a good score FOR ME so if you feel differently, that's completely ok. Is there any advice on what resources to use outside of collegboard questions and Khan academy?

Did I mess up?

Ok, this may sound really stupid but I'm a current sophomore going into junior year. I am planning on taking the SAT in August and going from there after practicing and studying throughout summer. However, a lot of my friends and a lot of people in the subreddit have taken it as a freshman and sophomore and I'm regretting my decision. I am able to take it this June if I sign up like right away but I haven't studied due to APs as well as other things so I don't know. I'm just scared that I wont have a good score in August and then stress throughout. Any advice?

How does roleplay scoring work?

The title is a bit misleading, basically I am asking at ICDC whether judges give scores and then adjust them based on roleplays that they see later or not. And if so, do they do it for both prelims and finalists or just finalists.

Am I the only one who thought mcqs were hard

All the frqs were really easy but mcqs had some difficult questions for me. Anybody else feel that way?

Should I go?

Basically, I participated in HOSA this year but was unfortunately only able to get state finalist. Next year, I wont be able to go due to a conflict, so this was pretty much my last year to be able to put it in on college apps (IK that this shouldnt be a main factor but it is for me). I have now been given the opportunity to become part of team that made it to ILC. However, I did not assist this team in any way during state and am simply able to go to ILC. My question is whether I would be able to put down anything for college apps even if we dont win as I am deciding whether to spend that amount of money. I usually would go just for the experience but it is a lot of money ad I have been there in middle school. Thanks!

This year, as a sophomore I participated in act and made it to icdc but didn't get anything there. I know that act is a very hard event at ICDC due to Ontario so I am wondering whether I should switch to another finance event. I am willing to put in the work but don't want to get cooked like I did this year. I'm thinking bfs but I've heard that's just as hard or even harder so idk. I definitely want to do something in finance tho. Any advice helps. Thanks!
