Really Frusturated About SATS :(

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Hey i took the December 3rd SAT(im a junior) and Im getting my score tommorow.Im really worried about my score because i know i did very bad. Like my biggest problem was my speed(couldnt finish on time). In Math i omitted like 12 and Verbal 20!!! And in Grammer i think i got most right, but still i omitted bout 14. Overall in Math and Verbal i knew what i was doing in the questions, it was just i couldnt finish in time cuz i proly analyze too much. In Verbal i guess im dumb lol:(.</p>

<p>OK so my question is if i do really bad on these sats, like 1600-1700 prly(cuz of the omitting)?(idk), and then get a 2000 or above in the Spring2006 SAT(I KNOW I CAN GET THT, cuz i have started 2 practice and pace myself every other day now)…will the colleges i applied to(Penn State, TCNJ, Rutgers), be like eww you got a 1650 on the 1st SAT, n be like u r rejected???Or are you sure they will just look at my 2nd SAT(which hopefully will be good)</p>

<p>Uh. 1) You’re a junior. You have a million more test day options ahead of you.
2) >_> that’s a lot of omitting. If you want more than 700 per, then you better start getting more right answers, and less empty ones.
3) But it’s ok. Just get a good score later on. They don’t care if you did BAD on your first one ever. Just… don’t keep taking SATs like 7 times.</p>

<p>thnx bro…made me feel a lil better</p>

4

<p>How did you already apply if you’re a junior? And if you think you’re score’s too low, you can just cancel it (though you do have to pay a fee for it).</p>

5

<p>When you omit that many, you’re better off guessing on most of them. You’ll be bound to get more right.</p>

6

<p>oh mah bad… lemme correct "will the colleges i will* apply to?)</p>

7

<p>ahhh damn i failed. i got total a 1650!:frowning: :(.
i knewww it. cuz of the big omitting.</p>

<p>so far i didnt click"SEND SCORES" to college.
and i do not want to.</p>

<p>hopefully i will try to do awesome in spring</p>

<p>I’m on the same boat, I got an 1850, and my friend got an 1740, and we’re juniors too, and we want to be in the 2100’s… Don’t feel bad, we’re all unSATisfied.</p>

9

<p>Don’t worry I pretty much failed the SAT too in October since I got a 2100!!! But then, I literally rocked the PSAT’s about a week later so it’s cool. Just retake that shiz and do pimpin’ on a later date thug.</p>

10

<p>I got a total of 1790 :frowning: :(</p>

<p>That blows dude. You need to work on timing!! Process of elimination helps there. How much did you practice before you took it?</p>

12

<p>IHATESAT…i thought you got like, a million 800’s on every SAT and SAT2…were you just bluffing? :slight_smile: </p>

<p>evil<em>asiain</em>dictator…You are obviously a socially challenged loser. Go find a volley ball to befriend.</p>

13

<p>Ummm … why is this thread on the ACT board? Heck, if the SAT frustrates you, see the light and take the ACT :)</p>

<p>One nice thing about the ACT is that you only report the test dates you choose to report. So the pressure is less; you know that if you bomb it, you can simply take it again and no one will ever know. With the SAT it is on your, gasp, permanent record.</p>

14

<p>yea i knw it blows. i just practiced a few times in the summer, thts all. and i knw i can do much better then a 1650.
hopefully i will break 2000 in spring.</p>

15

<p>evil<em>asian</em>dictator: a 2100 is not bad. you are making the rest of us feel bad.</p>

<p>IHATESAT: ummm. i thought you had like 5 800s on SAT IIs, and a 2400? umm…</p>

16

<p>OK.
im askin the pple who got ABOVE 2000…
for me now on, to get tht score…is this the best way for me to get it?</p>

<p>-Read wordsmart and readingsmart 20 mins each day
-Memorize about 5 words from my Barrons sat word flashcards
-Take a 1 or 2 practice tests everyweek
-get an SAt tutor</p>

17

<p>yes PakiThug thats exactly what you need to do. And if you can fit in like 4 or 5 practice tests a week that will be best. This winter break I’ve been taking one every day. A tutor would really help as well</p>
