Hi and welcome to my blog,
I opened this blog to help anyone who is preparing for his SAT.
I remember myself when I started - I was so lost and in such a panic.
Luckily I got this great SAT guide that helped me a lot . So study hard and good luck!
All high school courses are honors, you have a B-plus average, you have taken an SAT-prep type of course, however, your SAT scores come back on the middle to low side. Would colleges you are applying for even look at you?

They should. The college application process is not all about scores and gpas. You have to remember extracurriculars and the essay and/or interview. Try your best to show your personality throughout the entire application.
Also remember: It depends on where you plan on applying to. Schools such as community colleges will be easier on you than private schools.
It really depends on the college you want to go to. Would you have your pick of any school, including ivy league universities? I’ll be honest–probably not. Right now, you should focus on writing strong entrance essays, and gather letters of recommendation. Talk up your extra-curricular activities.
Another option would be to attend a community college for one or two years to bring your GPA up. Once you’ve attended a community college and are applying to transfer to a 4-year university, most SAT scores become secondary to the grades in college level courses you’ve taken. If you decide to go this route, get involved with activities that show leadership and your potential for contributing great things to the community at the university you really want to go to. Not to mention that you can save money going the community college route.
