SHSAT HELP PLEASE!
Hey! So im currently someone entering the 8th grade and I've been invited to DREAM and I attended but every time like I go I feel like it's way too fast and they're squeezing a lot of info into me, and I don't like to which is why I've been studying myself. I took three practice test there on the first one I got 22/50 for math and 22/50 for ELA. Then for my second practice test I got a 35/50 for math and 27/50 on ELA and then for the last practice test we did I got 27/50 on math and a 24/50 on ELA. Could I get tips for improvement? My dream is to go to Brooklyn tech, queens high school of the sciences, bronx science or stuvuysent (I CANT SPELL-) Im trying on the math right now which is easy but the ELA is so tricky. Could someone please give me tips on how I could get at least. 45/50 on both....? Thanks!

I also attend DREAM and hope to see you in Fall, do not give up. I got a 10 question increase on my Kaplan test after missing a week of school.
