So… I’m kinda in my feelings about this, and idk who else to tell.I took the SAT for the first time a few months ago and got a 1040. I wasn’t super proud of it, but I told myself, “whatever, I’ll study hard and bring it up.”
Bro… the opposite has happened. I’ve retaken it three times since then and every single time the score just drops. Like not even by a lot, but enough to hurt my academic ego each time.
And it’s not like I’m slacking. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Months of studying, Khan Academy, every day, Practice tests, YouTube strategies, Even a tutor. And still… nothing. It literally feels like the harder I try, the worse I do, and it’s honestly embarrassing. I see people jumping 150+ points and I’m over here fighting for my life to even keep the score I had.
I’m starting to wonder if I’m doing something wrong, or if anyone else has gone through this?Like… is there some secret trick no one is telling me??? Any advice, study tips, test-day strategies literally anything would help. I’m not trying to get into Harvard or anything, I just wanna get a score of atleast 1150.
If you’ve been in the same boat pls lmk… I feel like I’m sinking rn
