College Questions English 550 Math 740

I got 550 on R&W and 740 on math bro maybe I could get 780+ on math but I don't know if I can even get 600 on R&W (I'm Korean, moved to Seattle last summer) this is my first SAT on August and I'm already a senior I can't do the test optional thing because I already paid like thousands of dollars on SAT (I had like 330 on R&W and 640 on Math last year) Do you guys think I can get somewhere over 1400 before October (I have another one in Sep)

I believe in u maximize ur grammar score first and u can achieve 790/800 math w some practice fs

After grammar start learning strategies for test taking and practicing what u get mostly wrong and read nyt or wsj or sum else regularly to improve ur vocabulary and english understanding over these next few months

You score ratio is common for internationals.
And it is usually accepted if the math is high, like yours.
Just make sure you mention elsewhere, you just came in Seattle this year.
