if you really are determined to do well, it shouldn’t be too hard to find the time to practice and study. Like you, I had sports (swimming, as well as tennis), which were very time consuming, as well as 5 AP classes with homework, studying, etc, but I was so determined to do well, that I found the time. All you really need is a couple hours every other day to practice and do a test (though I did have an advantage because I was good at math, and only had to practice for critical reading and writing). Also, it’s not like you need to do an entire practice test everyday. Do a couple sections a day, and that’s just as good. I went through 10 practice tests in 3 weeks, doing a couple practice sections a day, and brought my cr up 90 points to a 680, and writing up 180 points to an 800 with a 12 essay.

And finally, it’s not like you need to practice for the entire year before taking the SAT. I practiced a lot for 3 straight weeks, and I was good. So as long as you can manage your time well for 3 or 4 weeks, then you should be good.
