Thanks so much for the tips! I have no idea what to write for the essay, I generally only draw from things I’m currently learning in school (last year it was MLK, Fences by August Wilson, and Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, I ended up writing about Fences and got two 4s) so the only things I can somewhat confidently draw upon are the Indian Independence Movement (Gandhi, Jinnah, Nehru - leaders), Walt Whitman and his poetry, and Horace (latin) and his poetry. Do you have any suggestions about topics that can generally fit any essay question they might ask?

I’ve been studying math strategies the most lately. For you, I suggest you look at a few. The math questions are basic when it comes to actual calculating but can be difficult to find the quickest and easiest way to solve a problem. Reduce as much as possible before calculating like canceling out numerators/denominators or parts of an equation where possible. If you have an SAT book do attempt a question of each strategy and read the explanation. If you don’t have a book, try college board’s website for their free SAT practice test (and maybe even the Math 1 SAT Subject Test) or just google.
