<p>Does this happen to everyone? I take about a test per two weeks and my SAT score is dropping!</p>
<p>WHAT IS HAPPENING? DX</p>
<p>happened to me before. its quite depressing really. but after a few more tests they’re getting back to where they were a bit before or a little higher but im not making any significant improvements.</p>
<p>I know ^ Seriously I dropped roughly 300 points in one month D:</p>
<p>And I really hope so. Because there is no way I am going to start school with a score like THAT (It’s too embarrassing to even SHARE) -___-‘’</p>
<p>It’s probably due to loss of focus from doing too many tests and losing that ‘edge’. The SAT is 50% focus.</p>
<p>So do you think I should rest for a while then take another one?</p>
<p>Absolutely; there is such a thing as too much SAT prep. Take a break for a week or two and I bet you’ll be back to where you should be, if not higher once your brain has more time to categorize and store everything you’ve picked up so far.</p>
<p>Thanks (:
But I really doubt, I felt like I learned NOTHING the past week. And everytime I look at a SAT problem I fall asleep (or something along the lines).</p>
<p>But also tomorrow I have to go to school to take a practice SAT test, so I’m FREAKED NOW DXXXX</p>
<p>What practice tests have you been taking? Have they all been from the same book or are you alternating?</p>
<p>No. it’s like this school thing. I think it’s like a practice test from Barron or something third-party.</p>
<p>And well I got a 2040 in the BB, then I took a few PSAT and got like a 187ish. Then I used PR and it DROPPED. Like I kept on getting 1700s-1800s (mostly high 1700s)</p>
<p>The 2040 on the BB test, was that the lowest score of the range, the highest, the middle, or did you take a previously administered exam with the exact score given? I don’t see how you could have gotten such a low score on your PSAT compared to a BB test…</p>
<p>And I haven’t heard great things from the PR so I wouldn’t really trust that. Try to stick with released exams and the BB as much as possible.</p>
<p>The BB is actually the highest score o:
And I have no clue about the PSAT. It’s like I failed completely. XD</p>
<p>Well if the BB test was the highest score that means the range could have been around 1850 - 2040? That would be closer to your PSAT score which I still don’t think is accurate. Its possible you have just been taking too many practice tests and need to even them out a little more. i know that when I do too much practice in a short amount of time my brain just gets fried and I can’t think anymore -.-</p>
<p>Yeah, exactly. But I think it’s because I’m trying to prep for this school event. I promised my parents to score 2000+ (Just to get them to stop recommending prep classes) and now my situation is NOT good!</p>
<p>And I hate prep classes. They are so annoying… /:</p>
<p>You probably got lower on your PSAT because there are less questions, which mean more impact if you get a question wrong. Don’t stress it. You should be worrying about the SAT, not the PSAT.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s what a lot of people say but wouldn’t that mean that there are less questions to get wrong in the first place so it would pretty much even out???</p>
<p>^ Yes, but the OP might have not taken advantage of that since he probably got plenty of questions wrong. Many people are different.</p>
<p>(no offense to OP)</p>
<p>Nothingto: I probably should be worrying about the SAT, but I really want National Merit (since all of my cousins got it).</p>
<p>lol it’s fine. I usually always get at least one wrong on any level test</p>
<p>Concentrate on the SAT and the PSAT should come naturally…or maybe not compared to the last 2 practice tests you’ve taken…;)</p>
<p>haha. Thanks. I think I’ll take the break. Tomorrow I’ll take a practice SAT at school. And then just chill for like 2 days.</p>
