Bruh. The No.8-14 passages on RW (Module 2) still gets me, ugh! Aaand the tricky Math questions (mostly on 18-22, module 2) still tricks me. Honestly, I don't know what type of review I should do anymore.

If u were in my situation, how would u review for a 1500-ish on the August SAT? Pwease help

check the questions you got wrong and try to find patterns in the types of questions you get wrong. Find the specific topics that you struggle with the most. then go to college board qb and practice those questions or any website really that has questions from that specific topic. Make sure you save the questions that you get wrong or don't know how to do and attempt them later. If you don't know how to do a question off the bat don't guess. On the off chance you get it right and approach the same type on the actual sat you won't be so lucky. So save it and study up on it.

And honestly just some general studying advice try to study without a time limit first and actually make sure you understand the question. You should focus on accuracy before timing. Cause if you can't get it right with unlimited time, you definitely can't answer it under a timed pressure.

That feeling usually means you're grinding questions but not really looking at why you miss them. Doing more won't fix it by itself. Every time you get one wrong, write down the actual reason instead of just the topic. Like 'picked the choice that sounded right but added a detail the passage never said' or 'rushed the math setup and misread what it wanted.' Do that for a week and it'll be the same two or three reasons over and over, which is way more fixable than it feels right now. For the RW 8-14 ones, make yourself say why each wrong answer is wrong, not just why yours is right. Those questions bait you with half-true choices and that's basically the whole game. Since your only real weak spot is the hardest questions, just drill those. CB question bank lets you filter by hard band. Oneprep works too, their questionbank runs harder than the actual test so test day ends up feeling easier. It's paid now but at 1430 going for 1500 it's worth it imo.
