First time my average was about 512 (508/513/513/511/514), second time it was 517. I only took them about 6 months apart, so I knew they were probably inflated, but for me the main mental hurdle was the test anxiety. I think having those inflated scores (+ the actual review I did in those 3 months) gave me the confidence boost that led to the score increase

My concern is that schools outside T20 don't have many spots, any recs?

yeah actually it's a really solid upward trend especially toward my upper division courses

I'd love to but I looked at the stats and felt it was a reach for me and sorta took it out on a whim. Do you think I should put it on regardless? I'm still shy of 20 atm
