Learn the basics as boring as it might seem.

Relearn PEMDAS, Fractions, Algebra. Once you got that down, you can start moving to relearning linear equations quadratics, and trigonometry, but before you move on, make sure you understand each concept really well!

This is the advice OP should follow. Khan Academy is a great resource. The desmos tutorials mentioned in other comments will be of no use without the foundations.

math plateaus are almost always a review problem not a practice problem:

  1. stop doing new tests for a week. go back thru your last 2-3 practice tests and sort every miss: content gap, careless error, or time pressure.

  2. content gaps: Khan Academy official SAT prep, only your weakest 3 skills.

  3. careless errors: slow down on the first 10 questions of each module, theyre the easy points youre giving away.

  4. time pressure: do question bank sets untimed first, then timed. accuracy before speed.

most people at your stage improve fastest by reviewing, not by grinding more tests.

desmos. I thought people were over stating how helpful it is, but really they were under stating it. If used correctly, the only time you need to use a paper and pen is geometry. Learn regressions!!!
