Hey everyone, I’m currently a junior and I’ll be taking the October SAT. I started studying for it after taking a practice test in late July, which I got a 2020 on. I then bought the Critical Reader, PWN the SAT Math, and Insider’s Guide to SAT Critical Reading and Vocabulary.

I started pretty hard during August (5-6 hours a day), but a week before school started on the 24th, I went on a short vacation and had my wisdom teeth removed, so I wasn’t able to study the week before school. I got pretty worried about the SAT, so the Sunday before school started, I took practice test #4 in the Blue Book, and much to my delight, I got a 2140 on it!

I have 4 AP classes this year, and since the first two weeks of school already gave me a bunch of work, I only practiced my essays during that time period. Then, I took practice test #5 today, and I got a 2000 on it

Do y’all think that it’s because I haven’t studied the SAT (except for essays) during the past two weeks? Or maybe my 2140 was not an accurate measure of where I was? Or is there anything wrong with practice test #4 or #5 in the Blue Book? This is making me feel pretty down right now… And I really want to get a 2150 in October…
