<p>Hello everyone!
As much as I wished I had studied, I did not. I forgot about the SAT as I was overwhelmed with internships and other extracurriculars. I took the SAT for the first time in the June of my junior year (really advised against) when I got this score. I had done about 12 practice tests from the blue book before I took the test and I just had to take it because my parents made me. Although my case does not apply to each and everyone, I advise against studying for this for more than a month. It is honestly just a test and you should get as much practice as possible rather than memorizing vocab. I did not memorize a single vocab word; you just need a good command of the English language and think logically. Just practice as much as possible to be able to recognize the patterns that Collegeboard has established. But Direct Hits and the blue book are more than enough material to get a great score! 
Just don’t get too hung up on one test that is only one factor out of many for your college apps</p>
