Help..?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I took the SAT for the first time in May. I went in cold, with no practice. Throughout the test, I was extremely nervous...borderline panic attack, and thus, not particularly productive. I barely finished any of the sections. It was a REALLY bad day. </p>

<p>That said, I got an 1830. </p>

<p>I'm retaking the test in June. </p>

<p>I'm aiming to get at least a 1950, and was wondering how likely that is, because with finals the week before the test, I won't have a lot of time to prepare. Will lack of nerves alone make a significant difference? </p>

<p>If anyone has thoughts on this, or stories about being in a similar situation, please share. I'd really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Are you a junior? If youre panicking and think you aren't ready, then don't take it. i know its like what 40 bucks [or 20] to reschedule, but seriously. Don't take it if your dead scared. Lol why'd you take the sat in may without any practice...haha, waste of money?</p>

<p>Yes, I'm a junior. </p>

<p>I'm not nervous for the June one at all. I was just wondering how much the fact that I'm not nervous will help my score (as that was what messed me up the first time).</p>

<p>As for the practice thing..time conflicts, mostly.</p>

<p>Oh it helps a great deal! You're clearheaded and youre not like panicking and getting nervous, so it helps a whole lot. It helped me too</p>
