Hi!
I really think JEE is the way to go. I recommend you throw yourself into JEE as hard as you can because even with all the bad rep it gets for being too stressful, just keep in mind that this is preparing you for college. SAT will be very easy for you. JEE will be the best experience if you connect with your teachers and give it all you’ve got. It doesn’t matter if you get into an IIT or not, the preparation will be worth it. Don’t stress about the SAT. Keep doing SAT practice tests in your downtime and focus on JEE and your ECs.
P.S. If you’re getting more than 6 hours of sleep you’re doing it wrong haha jk just have fun with it don’t stress over either of them
