I got this 1560 with about 6 weeks of SAT prep. My goal was a 1570+, but I am still very happy with this score, and I don't think I will be retaking the SAT. Thanks again John. The grammar and reading passage courses were a big help :)

Answer to yesterday's problem was 5389. Two things about it: 1) That problem is lowkey a REALLY good example of how more practice genuinely DOES help you improve on hard problems. I noticed a lot of you guys struggling with it, but when I first saw that problem myself I recognized the solution in like 10 seconds because I have seen at least 2-3 problems VERY similar to it. Not a flex -- just showing that when you do more problems, you really do start noticing patterns that make other problems easier. Most students just don't do enough to reach that point. 2) The 5389 number is NOT too big, because that's just what m equals. The ladder itself is only 24 long. Anyway, here's another one. Shoutout to @Kushal Anugu for this one!

This marks the sixth day since I first started preparing for the SAT and this is the first time I got a 1400+ score in a practice test. It's making me feel pretty good tonight :D

Answer to yesterday's question was B. I think you figured it out. Quick disclaimer, this question is from a Bluebook Practice Test. If you're planning to save tests, don't do this question. I realized I should start adding this disclaimer lol.

This was soooo much harder than tests 4, 5, and 6. I could have sworn I was rereading those passages 3+ times and still not understanding a word 😭 Does anyone know if this test is closely accurate to the real SAT or is mostly an outlier? I was expecting a 780 with all the practice I had been doing, so my confidence took such a hit from this lol
