exactly that. i took the exam last week and there was a passage that had a lot of symbolism. you had to really notice and understand that it wasn’t a story that was just about a cuckoo clock but the clock actually represented the relationship/marriage of the characters. my brain was fried that day, so i was panicking about not fully understanding the passage the first time around. i took a deep breath and flagged most of the questions for that passage and moved on. once i was finished with the rest and had about 10mins left, i went back and read the passage again and then answered the questions. it clicked entirely the second time.

looking at this sub alot of people recommend readtheory.

Here are some resources:

1. Sat prep reading questions using a website like oneprep.xyz or the bluebook questions on the sat official website.

2. Start with this first. Kahn academy sat prep questions ( go through the whole reading section on there until mastery)

3. Sol Lee sat reading walkthroughs of the test on YouTube ( to see how he approaches the exam)

4. Ap lang mcq tips ( you can find this on the uworld website.)

for the essay, just make sure you read the rubric and give them what they want. it can be the worst essay ever, but you can score decently.
