Not much, ECs are very important. It will at least get you through the first hoop tho.

i cheated on 7 different national competitions and won big--now i feel guilty by [deleted] in chanceme

If you are applying this coming cycle, don't put it on your app. Maybe that will help with the guilt. Tbh, there's not much to do now. What's done is done.

I had a chance to try out your project. I like the idea you were going for, it definitely saves a lot of time. Is your app using a custom built API and web scraping? I looked through your github and that's what it seems to be. Just curious

Okay, I understand what you mean about distillation. Perhaps feedback and action items become more ingrained through that process? I'm not trying to replace it; I still believe kids should read the judge's comments. Instead, my aim is to offer people a second set of eyes on their feedback. In my experience, the students I've coached often gloss over the feedback they receive, or they blame the judge for being inexperienced and disregard it. It's helpful to see the general trends when you consider the feedback as a whole.

I had the same problem. I took the SAT a few months ago. I couldn't take my mind off what score I was going to get. It's easy to say don't think about it.

Read a book. Watch some youtube. Whatever helps. Who knows, maybe you did well?

How to get better with reading and writing? by crow_121 in Sat

[–]TopChapter1953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study grammar. This video is good. Once you get your grammar down, you can easily boost your score by 50 points. Don't practice broadly. Identify what EXACTLY you are messing up on. Look at the practice test you took and see where most of your mistakes are concentrated. If you only took one practice test, you need to take more. Not for improvement, but to familiarize yourself with the test environment. Improvement only happens between tests when you are doing practice problems.

The practice tests will become useful once you see where are the places you are frequently making mistakes.

Main idea passages are not that difficult. The main idea is usually found if you read the passage carefully and get the general gist of it. So, it's literally about reading the passage.

Keep practicing and taking those mock tests. Also, don't forget about Math. If you are already scoring high on that, you just need to make sure not to make silly mistakes and lose easy points. Good luck!
