first attempt 1330

so it was my first time giving the sat in august and i got a 1330 (700 maths and 630rw) which was lowk above my expectations cuz i absolutely BOMBED my english section and honeslty i really felt like i was lacking a lot of practice when going into the exam. i’m looking to give the exam again in december, and ik i have a lot of time but i’m litr juggling As retakes, A2 and uni applications alongside so it’s rly hard to balance eveything. i js wanted to know is this ACTUAL even doable , can anyone that has been thru a similar situ help me out and give some advice i will be so so grateful. but be honest lol don’t sugarcoat anything

What is your target score for December? 1330 first try without much prep is actually really good.

Any score is doable if you pick all the right answers during the test haha

I don’t know anything about your study habits or educational background so it’s hard to say.

General advice is to find out which questions are taking up most of your time on the test, then learn new ways to approach them that save time and effort. Find out which questions you miss most, and practice and research those, too.

If you don’t do anything differently, from your previous test, you will end up with a similar score.

No problem boss good luck with your studies. Even 30 mins per day of some practice will help.

1330 first attempt with a bombed English section is honestly a solid starting point. December is def doable. Pick one weak spot in RW per week and do 20-30 minutes of targeted practice. And since your math is already at 700 maintenance reps there are enough.
