I made a similar thread last year, but now I’m really stressed because some of my grades dropped from As to Bs my junior year. And I’m still terrified of the SAT/ACT. I want to major in Film and maybe minor in Advertising because I want to do Creative Directing for brands (specifically I want to direct ad campaigns for Fashion)

SAT score: 1140 (I’m retaking it June 1st and I’m taking the ACT on June 8)
What I’m worried about:
My SAT score. I am terrified. I am a bad test taker and I am hopeless that I can make higher than a 1200.
I’ve been stressed a lot this year and have made 3 Bs in classes. Before this, I have only had one B in all of my High School career. I think this will bring down my rank and GPA.
I also am scared of my AP exams. I made a 2 on my AP Human one, a 3 on my AP Euro ones, and I don’t feel too great about the exams for this year.
I am not taking a math my senior year because I suck at math.
Did I sabotage my chances? Sorry if this was long. If my chances are low, would you please offer some other schools I can apply to?
