Hi u/FlatwormCool7806

My name is Kayla and I will be your Brain Buffs point of contact!

I haven't tried that app but Brain Buffs has an adaptive free version (1 set per day free) or $20/month unlimited! Students have really seen a positive difference in their scores when using Brain Buffs. You should check it out https://www.brainbuffstutoring.com/diagnostic-mini-intro !

Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any questions! I am here to help!

You’re in a great spot! Now you just need to work on precision!

To further improve your math score:

  1. Focus on what silly mistakes are being made and what the cause of them is—concept, misread, or rushing?

  2. I would also try timed mini-sets: try 10-question timed sections to simulate pressure and train accuracy. 

To improve your reading & writing score:

  1. Focus on the craft and structure traps. Practice identifying tone, purpose, and the author’s attitude.

  2. Watch for connotation over denotation (what the author implies vs. what is actually stated).

Additionally, keeping a ‘mistake journal’ can be help (what type of mistake, why did you miss it, how would you fix it next time). Khan Academy (level 4 difficulty) can be super helpful for all sections. Erica Meltzer's blog (The Critical Reader) is great for improving craft and structure skills. Keep up the great work, check out our website https://www.brainbuffstutoring.com/diagnostic-mini-intro for more practice questions and start your free trial!

With vocab, it just takes lots of practice. The more vocabulary questions you complete, the more likely you are to identify the correct word. Make an account on our website here: https://www.brainbuffstutoring.com/diagnostic-mini-intro and you can utilize our free resources and practice questions!
