<p>You’re studying the SAT too much if you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Skip ECs to study for it.</li>
<li>You’re GPA declines even a little because you’re studying schoolwork less to make room for SAT. </li>
<li>You’re scores are already in the ballpark that the college you like is accepting. At this point, ECs, grades, teacher recs, essays will make or break you, not SATs. </li>
<li>You change your sleep pattern to make room for an extra hour each day.</li>
<li>You transform yourself into an uninteresting person, with a 4.0 and a 2300, but nothing to distinguish yourself.</li>
</ol>
<p>As long as you don’t fall into these traps, SAT study can be very beneficial. You have a limited amount of time in high school, so you need to prioritize, and as long as SAT doesn’t take up time that higher priorities should be recieving, then studying can be worth it.</p>
