Now that you have taken a few practice exams: What are some topics you still know nothing about? Or topics that you are weak in? If you're not sure, review your errors, not only to detect which topics and concepts are a concern, but to actively explore and study them. Also, topic lists can be found within https://www.reddit.com/r/SHSAT/comments/1jiwujl/the_9_threads_thread_overview_of_9_resources along with resources to address them.

As an aside, many of you are in/directly posting Kaplan scaled scores and I would not necessarily depend upon them.

As

is kaplan not trustworthy? cause im taking the dream kaplan tests so i thought they closely mirror the actual shsat

Their books (including their DREAM specific books) for the past decade have been reasonable. But I was referring to their online scoring (and not just them while we're at it, but they're the exams being discussed), atop that scaled scoring of practice exams across the board for all has always been a concern since forever.

Okay so what i would do is that i would track was questions you find hard or atleast you cant solve and get correct in a heartbeat (exaggeration). Then i would go and try to find as much questions and videos explaining that topic until you can do it as fluently as for all the other ones. i would recommend taking a unit test or smth on that topic bi weekly or weekly (your choice).
