If you haven't already, consider switching to the ACT. Seriously.

I just recently got my March 1st ACT score back and received a 34 composite score. This is a cold score; I did no studying or preparation beforehand. In comparison, I took the October SAT and poured my entire summer into studying to get a 1450. I understand the ACT is not for everyone, but as someone who despises fast-paced tests and being unable to double-check my answers, I was shocked that I did better on the ACT. The reading section is all verbatim; you can easily find all the answers in the text unlike the SAT. There are no traps with seemingly subjective reading questions. You don't even need to really understand the passages, as long as you can point to the details. The same with science, but it's charts. If you're having the same problem I had with the SAT (high math, low EBRW) look into the ACT. It's a simpler test and I really think it is easier to study/improve your score.

ACT/SAT does not mean anything

I had a 24 composite on my ACT because of testing anxiety. I have over a 3.85 GPA in Computer Science & Engineering. I have achieved over a 3.5 every semester at Ohio State. The one thing about people with high standardized test scores is they could study well for one test. I was able to do it for 4 years. If you have a low standardized test score, then you will be fine if you develop good study habits. If you have a high standardized test, then that is great. However, I’ll break the news to you that you will have to work just as hard as everybody else.
Top Comment: I mean obviously scoring poorly on the ACT is not the end all be all to telling whether you will be successful in college, but to imply it means nothing is just not true in my opinion. More often than not people who score higher will be more successful in college than those that do not score well.
