<p>Review your precalc math. Read. Learn as much as you can in your HS classes. Do NOT let SAT prep take away time from this. Why do you feel you can/should get a 2100 on the SAT, or an average of 700 on each section? Do you have a close to perfect gpa, ie much closer to an A than a B average? If not, the SAT score that reflects who you are may not be as high as you want it to be. </p>
<p>You certainly were NOT stupid to waste your summer prepping for the SAT. Given your math placement you are likely gifted in math but it has been too long since you have needed to know the precalculus math tested for on the SAT. I know my son said the review of precalc math in his AP calc (AB I presume) class but not reviewing shoed on his math SAT test score. </p>
<p>Relax- you have next spring and again next fall to take the SAT if you wish. You are only halfway through HS by now- a lot is learned in the next year or so. If you feel the need to do prep work other than some free online practice tests do that next summer, not during the school year. It is so much more important to be involved in school, both academics and extracurricular fun stuff (which can also be academic if you enjoy it) and not cramming for this test. </p>
<p>btw- there are always going to be people who don’t need to prep to do well. It is not worth living your life to compete with anyone else, learn who you are and accept it. It is likely that no matter how elite the college you attend there will be people whose academic talent awes you in some area. You may be the one others are in awe of, particularly in math. Learning to gain knowledge and not to score highest will serve you best.</p>
