SAT and ACT English/Writing Crisis

Test Preparation
1

I’ve just taken the March SAT and April ACT and i have received both scores now. It seems like I do very bad and I just want to cry when I see it. I tried so hard and I don’t know what to do now. English is the death of me and I wish there was some kind of tricks to do. If you could give some tips and advice, please do because I really don’t want to be one of the top 1% students of my class with a below average SAT and ACT score that can’t speak for me. I just really want to cry because my parents won’t pay for college and I need to do well in order to get some kind of scholarship to go to my dream school :(((.

SAT Score : 1590
Math:610
Reading:470
Writing: 510

ACT Composite Score: 25
English; 21
Math; 31
Science; 26
Writing; 22
(haven’t received my essay score yet)

I’m assuming you are still junior or sophomore at least so you’ll have more shots at it. Review basic algebra and do practice problems online if you can’t afford the books. Blue book would be the best thing if you can shell out 30 bucks for it. Practice and commitment definitely helps a whole lot! Focus on your AP exams in the short term and study for the SAT/ACT during the summer.

These scores definitely aren’t bad per say unless you are talking about ivy league college confidential levels. However they are fairly average and it would definitely help to bump them up. You got more than one shot, study and destroy it.
