Am I done for if ...?

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>Hello CCers!</p>

<p>I'm going to be going to a bigger college than mine as an upper-level transfer (I'll have earned an Associate's) in Fall 2012, and I'll be taking the SAT in December. I have a 3.8 GPA at this school right now (though that will probably drop a little if the way one of my courses this semester is going turns out the way I suspect it will), and am not applying to Ivy League schools or anything, but I am very anxious about applications all the same. Particularly what effect my SAT score will have on my acceptance.</p>

<p>I'm not terribly concerned with any section of the SAT except the Math -- I've always been super-proficient in language in general (thank goodness), so the Critical Reading and Writing portions are not scary to me at all.</p>

<p>But I am beyond dismal with numbers. No, really. Really really. I am doing everything I can think to do to try and raise my chances of scoring well, but I am still incredibly worried.</p>

<p>So my question is, if I do poorly on the Math section of the SAT but do very well on the others, exactly how dismal do my chances at acceptance get?</p>

<p>Help!

<p>It really all depends on where you’re applying to and exactly how poorly you think you’ll do on the Math section (have you tried a few practice tests to see how you score?).</p>

<p>Do you need SAT’s to transfer?</p>

<p>@bumbulbi The upper-level transfer application asks for your SAT score and all of the admissions pages from the schools I’m applying to say you do, so … yes, I assume so. I’m on my own figuring all this out, as the academic advisors at my college refuse to help me look into other schools.</p>

<p>@EdoDodo We are still trying to decide which program/book series will be the most worth the money (we don’t have much to spend on it), so I have no practice tests to take just yet. But I can assure you, I am not a math person in the least, so odds are I won’t do all that well at all. I am applying to New College of Florida, University of West Florida, University of North Florida and Florida Gulf Coast University, if that helps.</p>
