Extremely nervous and losing sleep

Test Preparation
1

<p>Ok so the psat is coming up on saturday. Do i bust my but studying? or what</p>

<p>Every time i go to sleep i wake up because the test is so close. Im half delerious what do i do?</p>

2

<p>calm down?</p>

3

<p>uhh I’m kinda studying but not that hardcore yet. It’s just the PSAT.</p>

<p>I’ll study hardcore for the SAT tho =]</p>

4

<p>Yeah my PSAT is this Wednesday and i’m pretty nervous too. But you’re going to do better with a relaxed mind on test day, so I would just try a practice test so that you will be a bit more confident when saturday rolls around.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>True that. Just relax and be sure to get a good night’s sleep the night before the test (perhaps by exercising outdoors the day before the test). It’ll be fine. All these tests are nothing to worry about.</p>

6

<p>this is a super big thing in my family. Oh well im used to dissapointment in my life.</p>

7

<p>You should go out for a run or some other exercise, take a tablet of melatonin at bedtime, and sleep as long as you can tonight…At this point, sleep is much more important than how you do on the PSAT…</p>

<p>^-- I agree. probably the most efficient way to do WORSE on the PSAT is by being, as your title says, “extremely nervous and losing sleep.” I can totally understand that standardized tests can be important to families (it was a big thing for my family as well) but you need to move beyond your family’s perceptions/priorities. if you want to live up to those expectations, relax, be confident on how much you (hopefully) prepared, and please please please understand that the P in the PSAT stands for PRACTICE (or was it pre? lol anyhow). GOOD LUCK =)</p>

<p>P for Practice.</p>

<p>V for Vendetta, what is that supposed to mean? Im sorry if i sound a little crazy but 3 and a half hours of sleep a night is having its toll on me. Im going to get some sleep.</p>

<p>Would you guys advise skipping school on Thrusday and Friday and just get a nice sleep break and then study some more?</p>

11

<p>NO!!! PSAT score will account for very little, your grades for much more!! Just take 2 or 3 sections each day from now till Saturday…it will familiarize you with the test and that’s all you can do at this point anyhow.</p>

12

<p>are you even a junior?</p>

13

<p>^lol…</p>

14

<p>P for practice, S for…singing to make yourself relax, A for…acting cool on test day? and T for try your hardest !!!</p>

15

<p>^— hahah YES!</p>

16

<p>If you think you even have a chance of getting National Merit Semifinals, then MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME SLEEP.</p>

17

<p>Wishing you all a peaceful night’s sleep that leaves you feeling rested on PSAT day, whether that is tomorrow (Wednesday) or Saturday.</p>

18

<p>Completly focus for a couple hours and take a break. Your frustration is probably the lack of focus you emit.</p>

<p>OP!</p>

<p>It’s 2:28 a.m. (ET) and I hope you’re not awake to read this. :)</p>

<p>You are going to be <em>fine</em>. Your dedication is a really good sign as far as your SAT goes. But your PSAT score is <em>not</em> make-or-break. The PSAT is not going to be a major factor in your college apps. . . just a little icing on the cake and a chance to try out the waters for your SAT. And even for the SAT, you have 2 or 3 tries and quite a few months ahead of you before you take it for the last time. </p>

<p>Don’t worry! I swear to you, you will not be judged on this exam when it comes time to apply to your dream schools. Think of it as a practice, and good luck!</p>
