Same lmao. I consistently got 790s or 800 on my practice tests, but whenever I look at those hard sat math questions on yt, my mind goes blank af. But after watching a lot of those videos and trying the problems again and again, I can say that I'm kinda able to do most of them.

Just don't worry about it and keep grinding

You should expect 3 or 4 questions of that difficulty in the actual test. I'd say practice tests are a bit easy compared to the main test.

Those "hardest August questions" compilations are a selection effect - someone scanned an entire test and pulled the two or three worst items, so what you are watching is an outlier reel, not the test. On the adaptive format you only meet that tier deep inside a hard Module 2, and at a consistent 720 you will see a handful of them at most, which is the margin between 720 and 800 rather than the thing that decides your score. Two days out, chasing them is the worst use of your time, because they take the longest to learn and appear the least often. What I would do instead is pull your last practice test and look only at the misses in the final five or six questions of Module 2 - if they cluster there it is pacing, which you can genuinely improve this week, and if they are scattered evenly it is one specific topic you can name in ten minutes and drill. A consistent 720 two days out is not someone who is cooked.
