As an international student applying for college, what should I do?

[u/egre_1219]

So I am an international student applying for college this year and I already took 2 gap years. I want a full financial aid because I can't cover my sat fees let alone college tuition.

I am going to take the November sat but I can say what I see on the practice tests is not really good and if I am not going to get a good result( 1500+) then I can't retake the test like most of you.

I am already grinding the contents and practice tests and I am so good at math but I hate desmos. For me I would rather do most calculations by hand as it takes more time to use desmos.

My biggest problem is r&w. I can't do all questions on time ,and I am consistently getting 600-670. If at least I get 700-730 then I can get 1500+ as I am pretty sure that I can get 770+ on math.

Guys what do you recommend me to do?
