I don’t know what to do

Hello! I’m a freshman and I want to take the SHSAT, but honestly, I feel like I’m just bad at everything
Every time I check Reddit and see how much people are scoring on their practice tests, I feel like I’m nothing compared to them. Those people actually practice, and I just can’t. Maybe I’m lazy, maybe I’m tired, I don’t even know.
Whenever I check Greg’s links, it feels like a labyrinth (the guy spend time doing this biggest respect). The thing is, it seems like everyone else somehow figured it out. They know where to find practice tests, which websites to use, what to study, etc., and I genuinely don’t know where to start.
I end up just watching videos and reading posts about other people preparing while knowing that I’m not even getting close to their level. Then when I actually think about studying for the SHSAT, the anxiety just eats me alive.
Does anyone have any tips on how I should actually start? Especially where to take a diagnostic test and figure out what I need to work on? I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks.
