October 2010 SAT Emotional Support/Venting Thread

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Blah blah consolidated lists/answers and curve predictions. What about your emotions? I’m pretty sure you guys felt unstable at one point today because of the test. Vent and discuss your emotions with one another.</p>

<p>Personally, I feel like banging my head against a hard wooden table. I made 2 stupid mistakes on Math. I really hope that the curve is set for -2 760; 750 at the least. Thing is, I had 5 minutes after each section of free time. I could have checked them. But I didn’t. Sigh. And then Critical reading…I missed at least 4. I hope it doesn’t go past 5 and I get at least 740. I hope Writing will be my high point/buffer; I think I got perfect. But still. Sigh. I don’t feel safe for a 2300+. Plus, I still have to retake to superscore the Math. maybe Critical Reading. Not in a good mood.</p>

<p>are you trying to **** ppl off?</p>

3

<p>I’m feeling -0, -1 at the most in math.
-0,-2 at the most in writing (I write crappy essays tho).
And -4 to -6 in reading (that doesnt tick me off, but I WROTE THE RIGHT ANSWERS FIRST, THEN CHANGED THEM!!! VSUHFIUWEFHWLFIUWEF)</p>

4

<p>^^ No, I’m not trying to **** people off. I personally feel like my head is going to explode and I really want to cry, and there’s probably people out there who no doubt feel similarly. They need to be able to vent.</p>

5

<p>I forgot that 6/9 = 2/3. AHHHHH!!!</p>

6

<p>I’m very angry because I probably would have gotten an 800 in CR if not for being an idiot and changing my answer on a vocab question (ANYONE READING THIS NEVER DO IT UNLESS YOU ARE 95% SURE YOU ARE CHANGING IT TO THE RIGHT ANSWER, NO HUNCHES!) And because I read “Passage 2” not “Passage 1” so answered the question for the wrong passage.</p>

<p>Other than that, I FAILED math. And when I say failed, I’m thinking like 640-650. Rofl. D: And Writing, I would feel good about but the essay screwed me big time.</p>

7

<p>I only used one example for writing, but filled up both pages and thought my example supported my thesis quite well. </p>

<p>Chances for 12 dashed?</p>

8

<p>Thanks for making this thread. :|</p>

<p>I suck at math. I studied for it and everything, but I skipped SEVEN problems. FIVE in just one section. It was horrible. And I know already that I got a couple wrong, and I probably missed a few more. I’m predicting low-600s, just like last time.</p>

<p>I feel so bad because I wasted my chance to do well. Now I have to study more SAT I math to retake in November and December.</p>

9

<p>I made too many stupid mistakes. For the 5 rectangles one I over thought it and didn’t just realize that it’d stay the same. ■■■. Based on the thread I’m getting most of the hard ones right, but not the ****ing easy ones. UGH.</p>

10

<p>^Tehe. Why would the area change if they were the same exact five rectangles? lulz</p>

11

<p>@gensis for what its worth, my SAT tutor says that the highest scoring essays are ones that have 1-2 examples. :)</p>

12

<p>what was the answer to the dice question on math? i put 1/108</p>

13

<p>Its 1/54, definitely (coming from someone whos taking multivariable calculus).</p>

14

<p>blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh argggggggg skghaosigtu9hkdfg</p>

<p>ok done venting ;D</p>

15

<p>dude do you think collegeboard will remove that dice problem and/or make the curve more lenient? that was tricky as ****.</p>

16

<p>I will probably be joining the venting tomorrow. please keep this thread alive till then. thanks :)</p>

17

<p>CB isn’t going to remove the dice question nor is it going to make the curve more lenient. So just get that idea out of your head.</p>

18

<p>its always nice to hope boston lol</p>

19

<p>I missed like 8 on the CR and am quite mad at myself. I should have missed like 3 or 4. Here I come ACT!</p>

<p>Vent:</p>

<p>Before the SAT</p>

<p>Isolated my friends for a week and studied the vocabulary during school breaks. Barely slept the night before; I was too agitated. Did not practice the essay part, since essay is usually my strongest point. <- Turned out I was terribly mistaken. :/</p>

<p>After the SAT</p>

<p>Keep rechecking my answers, worrying about ridiculous things. I’m sure I would have got at least 2300 (even a 2350) if I had written a better essay. My essay is not well-supported, doesn’t have a conclusion. My mind just blanked out when I read the essay prompt, which was supposed to be pretty easy. I hope the other writing sections will cover my essay and boost my score. Otherwise, I’m screwed. :)</p>

<p>Bright side:</p>

<p>It’s finally done. :D</p>
