Hey guys, I'm a junior and I just took my first SAT and scored a 1250. I'm stressing out about whether or not I have enough time to improve my score before applications are due. Do you think it's possible to significantly increase my score before the deadlines? Thanks for any advice!
Hi there! First of all, congratulations on taking your first SAT! It's completely normal to feel stressed about your score and the upcoming deadlines. However, I'd like to reassure you that you still have plenty of time to improve your score. Many students take the SAT multiple times, and with the right study plan and dedication, you can certainly see a significant increase in your score. My own child went through a similar situation and was able to improve their score by over 200 points after just a few months of focused study. Consider using online resources, books, or even a tutor to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and create a tailored study plan. Also, keep an eye on the upcoming SAT test dates, and maybe aim to take it again in a few months to give yourself enough time to study and improve. Best of luck, and remember that with hard work and determination, you can achieve your goals!
