Did did you do anything in specific to get such a high SAT? Like any training course or website studies? I’m going to retake it and I want be read. Thank you and congrats !

@Kevinrr I actually didn’t do anything to study for the SAT or ACT; I just walked in on test day and took it. I bought the official SAT study book from College Board, but ended up never opening and gave it to a friend to use instead. Because of this, I unfortunately don’t know of many resources to use to study for the tests. However, I do know that KhanAcademy has free SAT prep, which I believe is personally tailored, so I would look into that. I also can’t attest to the quality of the official prep book as I never ended up using it, but I assume it is alright since it was developed by the makers of the test. I wish I could offer more advice, sorry.

Thank you! And did you get accepted into a program? Summer term? Fall term?

@Kevinrr I got accepted to the Fall Term. I was also accepted to the Honors College, and applied to the EXCEL program. I don’t think I’m going to be accepted to the EXCEL program though, as I already finished Calculus 3 and Differential Equations in high school and they told me the program is for people taking those courses at UCF.

Awesome! Congrats !

I am in IB o my GPA is pretty good
