<p>I am going to apply as well this year ! I cannot wait However, I still need to take my current SAT reasoning test which I registered for March. Will it be too late? I don’t want to send my PSAT scores though. >__></p>
<p>I didn’t like my PSAT score, I got 194, and when I took the November SAT I got much higher (PSAT=a lot of stress for me). But I still feel that the only score I want to send is the March one.</p>
<p>It’s just intimidating because a lot of my friends go to these ornate, super advanced and expensive SAT courses and they’re all doing pretty well. I just don’t have that luxury even though I’ve always been confident that I’d do well alone. Hmm oh well.</p>
<p>and prep is just so freaking expensive.
my friend who is an average student has been taking prep since freshman year scored a 2300. </p>
<p>the SAT, in my opinon, is not really an exam that truly tests knowledge/aptitude. if you get prep from 9th grade, it’s is inevitable that you’ll get an amazing score. </p>
<p>it sucks because we’re all bright students but not all of us have the luxury of getting SAT pep courses.
oh well. such is life.</p>
<p>I know, there are so many people in my school like that. Studying those prep books can get you so far. And lol just looking at all the scores the CC people have, it’s hilarious because it’s so unreasonable! And when they complain about not getting over 2350+, that’s when I start logging off and not coming back to CC for a while. haha.</p>
<p>Haha… I know; when I see those threads I’m like if you are not getting it in anywhere with a 2380 then I might as well dropout of high school now. Sheesh some people…</p>
However, I still need to take my current SAT reasoning test which I registered for March. Will it be too late? I don’t want to send my PSAT scores though. >__></p>
