<p>the official sat book from collegeboard is IMO the best preparation book out there; all the other ones have many mistakes and questionable problems, get it from the source.</p>
<p>Alright, from this I gather what I can try to opt is </p>
<p>1) Standardized tests
2) ECs
3) Essays</p>
<p>And hope for the best in class rank, I used to be 3/650, hope I haven't dropped too much.</p>
