How to create an effective study plan over the summer

<p>Mainly math. I had a poor Algebra I teacher in 8th grade, which unfortunately is the basis for nearly everything on the SAT. Its obvious to see how the SAT writing is getting left out by a lot of schools…I got a 95 in AP English III and write great essays (teacher graded AP English tests for like 7 years), but i can only muster a 510 writing? I always get stuck with prompts that don’t allow me to show my full potential. I am hoping my May scores will show at least a 60 point improvement on the math to at least over a 520, beings thats what my PSAT told me this year. When I took it in January, I hadn’t had a math class in school for a year due to scheduling. </p>

<p>Obviously, I would like to get better in everything though, so yeah, haha. All I’m really shooting for is the ~25th percentile for the upper class state schools like Penn State so my grades can do the talking. </p>

<p>And I’m pretty honest with myself, I’m not necessarily a genius, I know that, but I’m a hard worker, which is mostly reflected in my grades. I think I can max out around 600 for all 3 sections, but any more would be luck in my opinion.</p>
