Just wondering your opinions, I am signing up for summer seminar, and I am almost a straight A student, but for some reason I bombed the psat with 490s on both my math and english tests, since posting the scores are optional, should I submit it with my application for summer seminar?

I guess it would be different now that it's digital, but I checked out every edition of the big red official ACT Prep Book from the public library, and did every practice test. They each have a few practice tests.

However, because the SAT is online now, I would try to take some official practice tests, on College Board's Website.

I'm assuming you're a Junior, what Math class are in right now?
Along with it, you should do a full length practice test every weekend. That's what I did for 2 months, and it worked amazingly.

College Board practice tests are a must. The full length practices help out so much and let you gauge a good idea of what the test may look like.
Look up Desmos PSAT or SAT math section, knowing how to use Desmos effectively will guardsmen you a higher score.

And like @DanteoftheBloodAngels was saying, Khan Academy is also a viable option to help you study.
Youtube videos for refreshers are actually very beneficial. Both for English and Math.

Kahn Academy Online SAT practice is great, I'd reccomend it the most. I honestly didn't find Bluebook too helpful for the SAT other than understanding the testing format. IXL isn't the best, feels pretty outdated. And if you find yourself still struggling, find a tutor. I went up 150 points from tutoring after plateauing for a bit.

Oh and DEFINETLEY understand Desmos. It's a lifesaver!!

Best of luck!

Wow, Desmos is pretty cool, I also loged into kahn acadamy and found my stuff from 7th grade
 
Kahn academy is amazing. There is also a page on college board with tons of practice questions. Also alot of library systems will pay for tutor.com and the Princeton Review to use.

Personally I got a tutor. Costed too much but effective. I got my SAT from 1250, to 1410. The key is grammer. We spent a stupid amount of time on the grammer section of the reading section, and grammer went from my worst category to my best in a matter of weeks. It brought up my English score 100+ points.

I would also recommend taking it alot, not too much, but I took it 5 times. I don't regret a single one. Best score on the 4th time. You have to remember that each test is different, some easier and some harder.

Also make sure you're taking the right test. Take a practice ACT or two.

Good luck!
