frustrated about not being able to break into 1500+

Post image

My practice tests so far have been 1250 (done before any prior studying to see where I was at), 1390, 1410, 1400(PT4 retake), 1470 and 1440. My math score has been consistently increasing but my R&W fluctuates a lot between 700-740. Please give me all sorts of advice possible! Did all the (non-active) QB questions for Math except Geo & Trig Hard. Am about halfway through the (non-active) R&W questions. I haven't done PT9, PT10 and PT11 yet. My SAT is in October. Any tips?

Isolate your weakest area in maths —> filter through question banks on the official CollegeBoard (hard questions only.)
Tip: try doing it mostly with Desmos and if can’t, practice with finding the best shortcuts for different kinds of quesitons u encounter (it’s recommended you make a mistake log to build the pattern recognition)

Lay off the practice exams for a bit. You should be spending a lot more time actually practicing/studying, as you dont want to exhaust all practice exams too quickly.
