Hey I am a junior and I am a URM ( Nigerian female) .When I was a sophomore I took the PSAT and scored a 137. I took it again junior year and scored a 173 ( lol ironic numbers) without studying at all. I took the January SAT this year without any studying and got a 1710 ( I didn’t study because I wanted to take the SAT with my natural abilities). I want to get a 2100-2200 this June to get into one of the Ivy Leagues and I am willing to prepare rigorously for this score. I know I only have about 3 months and 1 week .Can you guys please give me advice? I bought preparatory books last weekend and I’ve attended Saturday class SAT prep since January 17th and I’m now in Math SAT prep offered at my school which is going to end around April 30th.
Start here …as suggested

@xiggi Just a question; will collegeboard delay or flag a person if the score jumped by 350-400 points? Like 1700 to a 2000?
@TopOne‌ although the question is not directed towards me, I recall reading how if you have such score jumps they will do that because they think there was cheating involved.
Flagging a test is always a possibility, but there is usually more than a mere higher score. When a score shows a rapid progression, chances are that the “system” will review the seating chart (or the cheating chart if you will) A 1700 to 2000 rise will not necessarily trigger a review of the score, but if a student shows a 650-700 verbal score but a truly subpar essay, the odds of a review increase.
All in all, this is NOT an issue to worry about.
