<p>I took a practice SAT and lets just say I got around 1,300. I am a smart kid but I struggle with math and I have a 3.8 GPA. This test just stresses me out and how can a kid get a freakin 2000 with a drop of a hat ugh.
If anyone can give me some encouragement or advice I would love it. Thanks!!!</p>
<p>I am trying everything
*tutor
*blue book
*online research and practice questions</p>
<p>I have big dreams and goals and I don't want one dumb test to affect my chances into getting into a decent college. I have plenty of time till oct 6 (I plan to retake it anyway)</p>
<p>What are you weakest points? Try to improve on those (either math, English, or writing skills). SAT sample questions online? SAT review online? </p>
<p>Paying attention and learning in school are also important. Maybe try the ACT?</p>
<p>Good night sleep prior to test, stop stressing, don’t panic?</p>
<p>Thanks your right lol it’s really hard because of the time constraints in the test. Hmmmmm I’m going to try the act. I am a strong reader my essay is good but the sentence correction is bad.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the trick is knowing how to take the SAT (e.g. strategies to minimize reading time, knowing which grammar rules or math formulas/theorems appear most). Presuming you know grammar, some vocab, and some algebra/geo/probability/number theory you should be set for a 2000+.</p>
<p>Taking a 5 hour energy might help as well… No jitters or anything and it eliminates tiredness. Took one for the apush exam and SAT. In the 5th hour after the APUSH exam I still had the energy to go out and dunk water bottles during 5th period (ah, if only I could palm a ball well!).</p>
