How did you get motivated to study for the SAT/SATII/ACT?

<p>I have NO motivation. I've even tried to pay for my tests on my own to motivate myself and NOTHING works. What did you guys do to motivate yourselves to study for these tests?</p>

<p>I looked up some stats of those who got into the colleges I want to go to. I went like “Oh **** I have to compete with these people.”</p>

<p>I realized that one of the major driving forces behind getting into the university I am going to attend is ACT score, so that was enough for me to go through a couple practice tests out of PR.</p>

<p>My D visited Yale and that was all the motivation she needed. She went from a 2070 to a 2340.</p>

<p>My main motivation was looking up Columbia/MIT sat scores, and find out 2000 wasn’t going to cut it in the beginning of the summer, and studied like crazy over the summer aiming only for a perfect score, looking back now i don’t i can get more than a 2300 but all i know is that i did a lot better than the first time.</p>

<p>i thought maybe that if i got a perfect score they would announce over the intercom and a certain girl would think i was awesome</p>
