<p>I know this might sound a bit mean, but I think maybe you should make your SAT and ACT targets are little more… reasonable. A 500 point jump in your SAT or 6 point jump in your ACT score is nearly impossible, even with some serious studying. It seems you’re not a test-taker, but your stats are fine. You’ll make it into Merced easily. If you’re aiming for a raise in your SAT score, try a more realistic target like 1950 perhaps? Even a 200 point jump is difficult, but at the very least, it’s possible.</p>
