<p>so here is my story
i was getting 790-800 on iic
600-650 on writing
and about 700ish on bio M</p>
<p>then, while i was reviewing this week
i found my math at 640
writing at 500
and on sparknotes, my bio was 580, what do i do???
i got barrons for bio and math and kaplan for writing. tried pr for writing and math as well. any suggestions?</p>
<p>i say you’ve prepped too much and you need to stop, take a break and don’t do anything till Saturday</p>
<p>Get some sleep, keep the mind fresh and clean</p>
<p>Amen. 
Listen to your favorite music, laugh/cry at your favorite movie, and for heaven’s sake, indulge yourself. Above all, sleep with a peaceful mind. The standardized test system can only control you if you let it ;)</p>
<p>definitely stop. Then, cram in everything for about two hours the night before . read: review.</p>
<p>if i preped too much, then y a low score???
it doesn’t fit together!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because you’re a human?</p>
<p>does prepping too much actually effect your score? have there ever been any studies on this?</p>
<p>don’t get kaplan. </p>
<p>i am really displeased with them- did no prep for writing (730) barrons IIC (750) and kaplans physics (630)</p>
<p>thinking about claiming back my money</p>
<p>i always study up to the last minute. then again, i never really study that far in advance, so i never have the opportunity to overstudy. the longest i ever studied for a test was for the IIC and i got an 800. I wouldn’t dismiss what people above say, but then again, taking the actual test is going to be MORE, not less stressful than studying, so do a little more and try to get those scores up. Take lots of practice tests.</p>
<p>Do more prep, I’ll say. Getting lower scores after prepping happens to me, too. It’s a period of re-adjustment–you’ve just begun to learn some new things, and those things haven’t yet registered quite well with the rest of the knowledge you had. Once you’ve studied more, your scores will increase to a point higher than those before prepping.</p>
