Is it normal to feel nervous after taking the SAT?
I took the SAT today. I found the CR quite difficult, but the math and writing were pretty good.

Is it normal to feel anxious? All I can think about right now is that test....

No. You are a complete outlier and should consider self-exilement from society for being so out of line psychologically.

Do you know of a local psychologist, or maybe psychiatrist if its needed, that you can go to?

Don't worry the hundreds of thousands that took it today feel the same way.

Whoever says they aren't nervous is a damn liar.

I am literally refreshing my browser over and over again to see if someone posts a math or writing problem that I got wrong.

^ Haha, same here. I feel so lame, but I can't wait 19 days to know if I got certain answers right or wrong.

And yes, it's very normal to be nervous.

Totally! But checking college confidential every 5 minutes isn't going to help quell that anxiety XD

I always get anxiety attacks after taking SAT/AP tests. :/

But I also feel a sense of relief that it's over.
