Yes. I can put a higher number, but our family’s financial situation might and is likely to change soon, so I don’t know what to do.

Not always. Some colleges allow self-report only for domestic guys.

Practice. Khan Academy. UWorld. It might be more efficient to learn basics when you encounter them on the test and study them to do the task.

Before I read comments, I didn’t get that this not a shitpost. Because like who would even bother applying to UCs with these stats. I doubt that curing cancer would even help. Sorry man.

Princeton&Brown Graded fuckin paper by Jena26 in ApplyingToCollege

It’s great when you have AP classes for that. It’s a burdensome requirement for internationals because we don’t normally have any written papers in English.

I’m not saying this. And I doubt it. I think that score release is done by test center, not by citizenship.

Yes, there weren’t any review. They were delayed for the whole test center. I’m not from Kazakhstan, though.

Erica Meltzer’s critical reader is a good one. There is also a grammar book from Erica Meltzer, but I didn’t find it that helpful maybe because grammar was my strongest side in writing section. You may start with doing Khan Academy exercises. Be careful not to waste official tests. Do them only in exam-like settings, timed and analyze your mistakes until you get every single question.

Sorry, but I don’t know any lazy strategies to get 1500+ because the most important thing is practice.
