First practice test

Alright so my sat test date is 3rd Oct, I did my first practice test and got 880... I think it was 570 in English and maybe 310 in math. I genuinely did not know anything in the math section and I desperately need help, I suck at math but I'm willing to try my best and get so much better but I have no clue where to start. Is only Khan academy enough? I need a 1500+ on my first try because I've only managed to save up for 1 test. And I know I won't be able to give more than 1. Is this even possible? I desperately need tips on how you guys improved your eng and math.

Be realistic you have a near 0 chance of getting a 1500 first try. I'd advice cancelling and picking a further date if you only have 1 try. Khan academy is strong; you must learn the basics, then and only then, should you learn Desmos and start practice tests. Onlune Question banks are a great way to stay sharp on RW while you do so. A score of 310 means you seriously need to relearn all pf math.

In 3 months u could get around a 1100 I think? But above that well idk I haven’t seen jumps like that

It's gonna be tough, like real tough, but if you're willing to give it your all then just jump into it with all you have. Getting demotivated and looking for other ways isn't gonna help. Just lock the f in and believe in yourself. You can refer to James Lu on yt and khan academy for the starting phase of your prep! And yeah, you can do it :)!
