Chill out. You have 2 years. Don’t stress until maybe a year from now. Sure, you can study if you want, but don’t freak out. You have time and you will do great!

Another thing, you may or may not have covered all the material on the test in school yet, so definitely don’t get yourself worked up over it. A 29 is great for a freshman, or anyone else for that matter. The difference in books may have also caused the score decrease. On practice tests from the 1296 book, I kept getting a terrible score in English, but on the actual test I scored a 35.

By the way, there are other colleges out there. If you don’t get into Stanford, there will be plenty of other colleges happy to accept you into their freshman class. You can get into a great school with a 29, but Stanford is a reach for everyone. As long as you make a balanced list of colleges to apply to, you will not be stuck going to community college if you don’t want to do so.
