I’ve only just started taking AP classes this year, I’ve been taking all honors since sophomore year, and even before that I was a year ahead in math and foreign language so I’m in precalc and College Spanish now. As for how strong of an English Department my school has, I wouldn’t know exactly, just that my high school is one of the more difficult schools in general- and it’s private if that matters. Either way thank you for the response. :)</p>

I’ll be sure to look at those links, thanks for both those and the advice! 
I am actually very new to the whole SAT thing- especially when compared to my friends who have started obsessing over it this past summer while I’ve been away, so I guess you can say I feel like I’m starting late. But again, thank you SO much, your post really calmed me down.</p>

Yeah, my father told me the same thing about the courses. I don’t know. I still feel as if I should be doing better on them. Do you mean they’re designed to be harder compared to the other diagnostics but equal in level to the SATs or just harder in general though?</p>

Hm, well I do study, but I wouldn’t be considered a “go-hard”. I work the areas I need, and I relax about the areas I know I can get good grades in without too much stress. And thank you! Good luck to you too! :D</p>
<p>As for everyone else, thank you so much. The fact that people are telling me it’s possible to improve by “x-amount” helps; I was reading something about how it was difficult to get better, and I got really worried.</p>
