Ok so I am signed up for the SAT tomorrow.It will be my second time taking it and my first was in May.I don’t know what I got on the other section.I talked to my sister and she said it is stupid to take it if i don’t know what i got before.But i feel like if i did horrible on the May one my only redo is in October which will be so stressful.And what if i do worse on the one tomorrow and colleges see.I might actually lose my mind and have a brittany spears mental breakdown.My dad will accuse me of being lazy if i don’t take it tomorrow but i don’t know what to do.OMG i just don’t even know what to do.Wont it seem bad if i do worse on the one tomorrow.Advice please!!!
As far as I know all colleges take your highest score. Chill out.
Please calm down. Your past test score does not matter , what matters is whether you studied for this test, and how you take care of yourself as you prepare for tomorrow.
Eat a nutritious meal tonight, but not too much food, you don’t want an upset stomach. Try to rest and relax, stay at home and watch a movie that comforts you or makes you laugh. Avoid stressful conversations. Do try to get to bed and sleep enough hours tonight. Eat some breakfast in the morning , wear a watch so you can pace yourself during the test, and bring along pencils and calculator. Bring a granola bar or other light snack and a water bottle.
You can allow negative feelings to drag you down and defeat you before you even start the test. Or you can choose to be confident and positive and try your best.
Good luck!
If you don’t like the scores on the May and June SAT then you will have some time to study until October, or you can try the ACT.
Go over your wrong answers and see why they were wrong, work on the areas you have the most trouble with.
All you can do is do your best.
Colleges will take your highest score. Take the test and do your best. Skipping the test brings you absolutely no benefit, but there are at least potential positives for taking it. Such as you’ll do better than you think or maybe you’ll get some more preparation for a future test…
Don’t worry. You made the right decision - most colleges superscore so even if you dont do as well as you hoped, you’re good.
Relax, check that you have registration, ID, some water and some snacks (apple slices with lemon), answer everything, and good luck. Come back to let us know how it went, how you handled it for students who’ll be freaking out in October.
I think i did better on both sections!The essay this time was way harder.But the experience as a whole was a little rough.There was a fire drill during the reading section which happened right after i finished reading the story which completely threw me off.We had to sit outside for 15 minutes.There was 2 proctors and the assistant one was so annoying.She sat near me during the test and was eating crackers which was so distracting.Will the fire drill affect anything,because I tried to google it but couldn’t really find a clear answer?That would be infuriating because I think I actually did way better this time.I guess that is just my life, nothing can ever go right.
