There was an incident that took advantage of the 3-hour time difference between the East and West Coasts - basically, accomplished SAT takers in NY or wherever back East would take the test, memorize the answer choices and send them in code (the cheating ring used specially inscribed pencils with the choices written on the barrels of the pencils) to students in California, Oregon, Washington, etc. Here’s the link to the article: For $6,000, You Get A Pencil With The Answers Inc https://www.newsweek.com/6000-you-get-pencil-answers-inc-176368 From Quora: "What is the possibility of not getting top 10 in high school if I’ve been suspended?"6/6/2022 Click here for the original Quora post:
It really depends on number of factors:

Yes, if you can spend at least an average of an hour per day on the test. That would be roughly 90 hours of practice. That’s enough to learn what you need to know about the math tested by the SAT. I suggest you obtain a review book such as Barron’s SAT, or similar books by Kaplan, Princeton Review, of Gruber. Books that are a few years old are still fine, as long as they’re not older than 2016 editions (2016 was the debut of the “New SAT.”). Even older editions are still pretty good, but they don’t cover right-angle trigonometry or imaginary and complex numbers. You can often get these from your older classmates who’ve taken the test, public libraries, Amazon, half dot com, Craigslist, Rooster, Nextdoor, etc. Searching online might help. It’s a great idea to use the Khan Academy (it’s good and it’s FREE!) as well as the official practice SAT exams (you can download the math separately from the English). Here’s the link to College Board and Khan Academy and the link to free SATs you can download. Downloadable Full-Length SAT Practice Tests https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/practice-preparation/practice-testsI also recommend the Barron’s SAT book, and Barron’s SAT Math Workbook. They’re not expensive new, and if you may be able to get used ones from older friends, Craigslist, etc. for free, or use copies at public libraries, etc. If you practice basically every day for about an hour per day, you should be fine - the books will teach you the substantive math, as well as the “tricks” can use to solve problems faster and the “tricks” that let you see through “tricks” the SAT uses to fool students into choosing wrong answers.

No. Your SAT score was just about perfect, and most, if not all, colleges accept both SAT and ACT scores interchangeably. Use the time you would have spent studying for the ACT on studying for AP Cal (Calculus?) or Stats, or working on extracurricular activities. Good luck! Click here for the original Quora post.
Look up the official SAT practice tests, available for free from the College Board. You can find them here: SAT Practice and Preparation https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/practice-preparation You can also find access to the Khan Academy website from on that website. Khan is the official SAT prep provider of the College Board, and its resources are both free and excellent. If you can get a practice SAT book such as Barron’s, Gruber’s, Princeton Review, Kaplan, etc., that would also work. You can often borrow these books for free at public libraries, or get them for free from people who took these tests in prior years (the SAT hasn’t changed since 2016, so any test book from 2016 or later should be fine). For the reading, I suggest you just read many challenging essays - you can find tons of free articles on the Internet - from literally any newspaper or magazine. It’s a good idea to study how essay/editorial writers structure their arguments. Additionally, you should study the grammar and punctuation that is tested in the writing section, and also learn word roots so you can tackle unfamiliar words that use Greek, Latin, or Anglo-Saxon prefixes, roots, and suffixes (suffices? Hmm, I’ll have to look that up). All of these will be in any good review book, such as the ones I’ve listed above. Here’s a website where you can look up word parts to learn to decode vocabulary words: The web’s largest word root and prefix directory https://www.learnthat.org/pages/view/roots.htmlFinally, you can look at YouTube videos such as those on my channel. SAT and ACT https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF09TfOt7OnlxnTpeSHz7I0DlbXcrK7ifThose are also free and helpful. Good luck! Click here for the original Quora post.
I’m not sure which Barron’s AP test you mean, but most likely, it’s that several of the tests are available only online. Look for the “online” part of the book, which should give you a URL (web address) to find the online tests. The website will then ask you to type in a word or phrase on a given page of the AP book you have. That should solve your problem. Hope this helps, John Linneball P.S.

Yes. It will show you’ve managed to overcome whatever academic problems you were having. Good luck! Click here for my original Quora post.
Talk to your guidance counselor. If your school doesn’t one have those, speak to the principal, vice principal, etc., basically anyone who can let you modify your class schedule. I’ve known people who graduated from high school a year early by taking the classes most students take in the junior and senior year (e.g., chemistry in junior year, physics in senior year), all in the same year. That leads to a busy schedule, but you can do it if you work hard. Alternatively, the school may let you take some courses in summer school. I’m fairly certain the high school I attended didn’t have any summer school courses other than driver’s education, and remedial courses students who failed the “normal” versions of those courses. The idea was driver’s ed was more of an “elective” than a real academic course, and summer-school English was meant for kids who failed English and needed that English course credit to move on to the next grade and/or graduate. If you plan this early enough, you might even be able to start taking extra courses in your first and second year, thus making your third year less demanding, while still allowing you to skip senior year. But your school might offer “real” (non-remedial) academic courses if there is enough demand for them. You can also see if your teachers/counselors/the principal can and will accept test scores as proof deserve course credit for a course you didn’t take in school, but obviously studied on your own, which is probably what you meant by “test[ing] out of high school early.” I know you can “challenge” an AP (advanced placement) test from the College Board, simply by signing up to take the test. Challenging a test is taking the test without having taken that course. If you get enough AP scores, or school credits, or things like New York Regents Exam scores, you can pass without get credit for courses in which you did not enroll. See, for example: Get Ahead with AP - AP Students Get the Most Out of AP Taking an AP course this year? Sign in to AP Classroom using your College Board username and password for all your AP resources, including AP Daily videos. https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/TL;DR: Ask your school’s principal, counselors, and teachers. Look into taking AP courses or whatever state, local, etc. tests you need to take to get course credit. Click here for the original Quora post.
