Scheduling Conflict with Jan SAT, What to do?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>I have an AP Calculus midterm and Honors Chinese final the day before the January SAT. While I only need to improve my Math and Writing scores (I aced the Critical Reading section but did only so-so on the other sections), I don’t want to risk taking two MAJOR tests (3 to 4 hours of midterms/finals the day before) before an actual SAT. I DON’T want to wait until March to take the test again so it’s a tough decision.</p>

<p>I have a few options:

  1. Skip school that day and take finals/midterms another time, which may be difficult
  2. Pay the fee to reschedule in March
  3. Take my finals and take my SAT the next day</p>

<p>I can probably slack off during the critical reading section (that would probably give me around a 750 or so); it was never difficult for me in the first place and I already have an 800, but I’m not sure what I should do.</p>

<p>Advice? Thanks :)</p>

<p>I think you should just take the finals and the SAT (no skipping, no rescheduling, etc.). They’re all pretty important tests and I don’t see the point in avoiding them or putting them off. If you’re prepared, you’re fine.</p>

<p>Of course, that’s just my advice. Ultimately, no one can make the decision for you and you need to decide for yourself.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I would just say suck it up and take the tests. As long as you plan ahead and get plenty of sleep that week (no all-nighters for ANYTHING), I think you should be fine.</p>

<p>Skip classes that contain finals; that’s what I did.</p>

<p>All of my classes have mid-terms (when I have a class that lasts the entire year) or finals. I’m on a block schedule and my second semester ends the day before the SAT :/</p>
