@transfer I plan on retaking the SAT I and im studying mainly the writing and reading section hoping i can get at least 650-700+. Im mainly focusing on writing/passages instead of vocabulary since those are my “stronger” weaknesses so I thought I could get more points on it. Would you have any suggestions how I could improve my scores efficiently?

but my schools a magnet school where its really competitive, and just to show how competitive it is, the SAT I math which I got a 790 for (1 wrong) placed me in the 99th percentile for both the national and state level, but I was at the 64th percentile in my school compared to the graduating class last year. And thats how competitve my school is. And because its a magent school (I think) we don’t rank students in anyway and all our grades are kept private.

And as for competitions, I’ve gotten some significant awards like a 4000$ scholarship to NJIT, or Silver Medal for SkillsUSA. As for my grades, I’m doing much better Junior year compared to freshman and sophomore years, since 3.09 is my fresh and sophmore year gpa combined.

But its really encouraging to see positive responses from you that I’m not totally hopeless.

Thank you guys :)
