I was super anxious about my SAT score with only 30 days to go. I realized cramming practice tests every day wasn’t cutting it. Instead, I focused on analyzing my mistakes.
I made a spreadsheet to track where I was messing up: question types, my thought process, and what I needed to watch out for next time. It felt tedious at first, but patterns started to emerge, showing me exactly where I could improve.
Incorporating these insights into my study routine helped clarify my weak spots. I focused on those areas while keeping up with reading and math fundamentals. I even found some online resources to help with specific topics.
By exam day, I felt a lot more confident and it showed in my score!
