<p>I"M FREAKING OUT. seriously the Critical Reading is killing me.
i got a 680 the first time i took the SAT
and the thing is, i've been missing only 2 or 3 questions per SAT on practice tests (on CR) but i can't seem to do well consistently
AND it seems like i do well on the SAT after i read for 2 hours continuously right before and sleep >9 hrs the day before</p>
<p>i just did another set of CR questions and i missed 9. </p>
<p>how can i expect to do well this saturday, the day of my retake??
WHAT CAN I DO? Obviously, i am capable. sometimes.</p>
<p>yea, but that's what happened last time i took the real thing
i missed 8. how i can be sure that an offday won't happen again?
i don't even know what to do anymore.</p>
<p>Okay, you can't be sure. Just do your best. Get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast; make sure you bring water and a snack.</p>
<p>Get pumped! This is it baby! But you can always retake. Get excited! You prepared well for this test, and you're going to shine! Pretend that you're taking a final exam and your professor is your test proctor. You're surrounded by a bunch of morons who haven't prepared. But you have prepared; you are ready. </p>
<p>Show 'em what you've got! </p>
<p>(When you think about it, is there any way to guarantee that you won't miss more than 7? Of course not! That's a silly question; I'm sure you know that. I think that what you really want is some consoling, and that is what I'm trying to give you. Come on, get confident! you're ready for this!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot... I really do appreciate it :)</p>
<p>but it's just that i failed once already, and my parents are giving me crap about not retaking it "you're not ready. it'll look bad if you do worse" blah blah </p>
<p>2190 on last SAT and the WEEKEND before i got a 2300 on the official SAT practice test. that was terrible...
and i was really nervous the day before, and i got barely 5 hours of sleep, plus the entire week i had a hectic workload, so the days before, i only got 6 hours per day.</p>
<p>i know i sound like a pathetic, whiny moron just about now.</p>
