@neophite I’m a junior, and my English score improved from the 88th percentile to the 98th percentile this year, and I didn’t study for the PSAT or anything. It’ll definitely benefit you when you’re at those levels… our school does the same with AP English. Honestly? I would say to save the SAT and ACT for when you’re a higher level, as they only look at the first few times you take it… yes, you get unlimited tries, but they only look at the first couple, so you wanna make the most out of them!

@desideratum Awesome job, man! Honestly, I always have a lot more trouble on calculator portions of math tests and quizzes, except for in trig situations. Knowing the whole SOHCAHTOA rule really helps, and they’re easy for me to visualize… I also get a lot of practice in forensics with trajectory and ballistics, lol. Math in general has never really been my strong suit, but I feel it getting better. Our school has pushed honors and AP, or really generally advanced classes for forever. Even our “average” classes are above average significantly, so if you even pay attention in class you’ll score decently here, I guess, so I try not to be so hard on myself about my small struggle with math.
