| Rewarding yourself for a high score
Has anyone decided that if you get above a ____, you will reward yourself with ______?
I told myself that if I get above a 33, I will buy myself a Chanel purse. I told myself that if I get above a 30, I will buy myself Chanel sunglasses.
What are yours?

Probably GTA IV, I decided to not buy it before ACT so that I won't get distracted from studying.

IF it's either 1350 with SAT(come June 26th) or like a 29-31 on the ACT, then my parents would give me a 52" Samsung LCD, but I'm going to college next year, so what's the point of buying such a big TV for one year?
I'll probably just buy a PS3 with Metal Gear Solid 4, that is if I get the score.

I told myself in April that if i got a 34, then I would never take this test again. Well, I got a 34 and said to myself that I was done with his test. BUT, I got talked into the June one last week because I could possibly do better, and even if I don't, no college will ever see the score in this case. So it was no-lose for me. But, not matter what now, I'm NOT taking this stupid test ever again!!!!!

The fact that I won't have ANY standardized until May next year is the greatest reward I could ask for.

The fact that it gives me a better shot at good scholarships and also that I'm done with standardized tests till the MCAT is good enough for me!  I just really hope I get a different score. My October scores were: eng35, sci27, math27, read32, cum30. Then my december scores were: eng33, sci26, math28, read34, cum30. grrr!

seems like your science and math are the ones bringing you down.. what math and science classes have you taken so far?
and taking a lot of practice tests with math strategies will help your math score jump at least 3-4 points... and for science, just take a lot of practice sections.. you'll start to recognize some similarities

i'm gonna take some time off to do something I love: art, and play music. that's something I haven't been able to do in a long time (maybe a little shopping won't be bad for me either)... then i'll go back to college/scholarship searching, and school stuff.

i'm forcing myself to be happy with any improvement, even if it is just one point. If I do really well, then I'll probably buy myself a HUGE ice cream sundae :]
