It is simply beyond me how you guys get such amazing scores.
Please shed some light on how I should prep.
I'm a junior right now, and am planning on taking the ACT/SAT again, and of course the subject tests. I am from a rural area and am very low income (I live with my mother who is unemployed, father makes ~$100k a year but is not paying child support, parents technically have joint custody). I am currently taking the most rigorous course schedule possibly at my school, but that isn't saying much (again, not-so-great school due to rural area). In other words, I'm already at a bit of a disadvantage, so I NEED to get my scores up
I've attempted SAT and ACT once so far, got a 2030 and a 32.
I prepped like heck for the SAT, and was super disappointed by my score.
I didn't prep much at all for ACT, and was surprised to do as well as I did. (I pretty much had an anxiety attack halfway through the science section. Surprise, surprise; my science section was my lowest score)
But I still don't see how you guys get these elite scores! And looking at everyone getting deferred with 2250+ SATs, 34+ ACTs, and 750+ subject tests, not to mention top 1% of their class, is terrifying!
Please help me. I am starting to lose hope, and I've worked so hard.
