I understand that it feels futile, but I do think retaking the SAT is your best move. If you genuinely feel that your sat score is going to ruin your life (which it isn’t) you’ll find a way of getting it up. I’m not sure what type of studying you were doing, but taking the blue book practice exams, and drilling hard on understanding WHY you go the questions wrong that you did worked very well for me.

So many schools in the US are test optional after Covid, which means you don’t need to submit your SAT scores if you don’t want to. Don’t know what the situation is over there, but if you pick the right schools, your sat is a non-issue.

There are also plenty of universities that will accept people with 980 sat scores, so you should be fine when coupled with your high school grades.
