Biggest blunders and regrets on Oct 2010 SAT?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Well the score reports were just released. After reviewing what I got wrong, I missed FIVE Sentence Completions on CR. My last 3 practice tests I’ve never missed more than one or two so this was a major shock.</p>

<p>Biggest regret: Not buying Volume 2 of Direct Hits (only bought volume 1)</p>

<p>What are your major mistakes to improve upon?</p>

2

<p>STupid math mistakes. I got 1 medium and 2 easy questions wrong.</p>

3

<p>My essay was terrible and even though I had the chance to cheat I didn’t. I wish I did. I knew about 3 answers as a friend told me but I assumed the invigilator was very aware , turned out she wasn’t. Damn me for not exploiting such an opportunity.</p>

4

<p>Stupid math and writing mistakes. :<</p>

5

<p>

Wow, you’re mad with yourself for not cheating?</p>

6

<p>Horrible essay. I don’t know how. But that doesn’t matter. My colleges will see my writing first hand. 2 wrong, 2 omitted. Ended up with a friggin’ 690 on writing. Ruined my (almost) perfect score.</p>

7

<p>I got sick on the test day…
I think catching a cold and having a fever on the test day is the worst thing you could have.</p>

8

<p>-1 on Math, for an EASY problem…</p>

<p>-3 on Writing, again, 1 easy problem and 2 intermediate problems.</p>

<p>Worst part is my score of 8 on my essay.
Admittedly, I only practiced 3 times for the essay and only bothered reading a few examples. But an 8??..:(((</p>

9

<p>MATH!!! I hate dumb errors and how they absolutely sabotage your score.</p>

10

<p>Changing one of my answers on critical reading last minute…would have had an 800, got a 770.</p>

11

<p>Didn’t check over every math problem. I KNOW I made stupid mistakes after i found a lot of them on the 2nd math section. :frowning:
And not studying vocabs. Probably main reason why my CR was so low.</p>

12

<p>yeah… I also screwed up pretty bad… This time though, I am going to be more strict with timing EVERY section i do and do about 14 practice tests by the time i actually take the real dam thing… I need to rape the SAT…I have a vendetta to settle…</p>

13

<p>2 wrong in Maths costed me 60 points!!!</p>

14

<p>“Changing one of my answers on critical reading last minute…would have had an 800, got a 770.”</p>

<p>Same here dude.</p>

15

<p>Rushing my essay. :frowning: Would’ve had a higher writing if I had gotten a 10 like last time instead of an 8. -3 + 8 essay= 690. Sucks.</p>

16

<p>Writing mistakes. Could have easily gotten a 750+, but a few mistakes and I got a 710</p>
