<p>I am currently a senior preparing to redo the SAT (not Subject Tests). However, I have to do the subject tests next. I am trying to focus only on the SAT for now until it is over. My plan was to do Biology, Chemistry and Math 2. If I have previous knowledge on the topics tested in these examination, can I use a month to study for these tests and still get near 800 scores. I know this is a tough question since no one would know my potential but I was wondering how much did you all study for the Subject Tests and your scores. Thanks for your time! I appreciate it! Also, any tips would be greatly appreciated!!</p>
<p>What are your SAT scores and to what do you want to improve them?</p>
<p>Out of the 1900s and into the 2100s and above if possible. Is this possible?</p>
<p>You are right that your potential is obscure. I have left a year for my studies, for example. But if you are sure in your previous knowledge in these fields, go for it. However, don’t underrate the potential of ETS (the folks composing the SAT test). They know how to trick you, and have met various of high-school seniors. Furthermore, I advise you not to cram the whole test prep in one month. Even if you were Einstein, it does not worth sweating for it. Take it easy and don’t thing of it as it is such a big deal, because it’s sometimes freaking.
No matter what you decide, be sure you feel it right. If you don’t just look around and think again.
Good luck!
(Chemistry is a real pain in my ass, so I really wish you luck!)</p>
<p>@maskerade. Freaking is my problem and it is seen to be most evident in hindering an increase in my Critical Reading section of the test. Have any tips to curb it? I have tried to tell myself that it’s just a test but I can’t get over the fact that it is just that. Also, I was planing on applying ED and that’s why I only would have a month after October SAT.</p>
<p>Anyone here to help?</p>
<p>You can definitely get your SAT scores to that level; however, if you want to get those subject test scores as well, you should be willing to put in the effort. With the the right amount of motivation, anything’s possible.</p>
<p>That’s good. Off course I am going to put in the work!!</p>
<p>I hate Critical Reading Section! It drives me crazy because it is the last thing that I cannot take to satisfying level. Just hate it!
I suppose your problem is the same as mine - can’t concentrate.
My brother ones advised me to think of this test as a game. “Before a prep test” he said, "breath deep, run three times around the house and remember that ETS are donkeys that are only trying to dupe your future. Then ask yourself “Am I going to let some guys I have never seen and will never see trip me?” Well, I cannot let this happen.
You see, don’t sweat it. Thanks to ETS you have the opportunity to show the world and yourself mainly that you can deal with the hilarious questions they ask you. I, for example, have 5 tests to take till the end of 2011 summer. Tests such as SAT I, TOEFL, and 3 SAT Subject tests ( they may have to be taken in one day because of the shortage of dates). So, I really freak out sometimes. Now school’s coming. What to do? Well, put as much effort as you can spend, don’t freak out in terms jump-off-the-roof, and take the test. When you think positively and don’t worry about the result so much, you just concentrate. And, of course, what helps me the most is the well-experienced notion concentration =good results and absent-mindedness =game over.
And one more thing. Some time ago I used to spend averagely 5 min a day thinking how I can’t do it. 5 min per day…hmm… 35 min per week… 35 min together=an essay or a Critical Reading Section and the time required to make 4 portions of Italian spaghetti.
Just think critically, and ask yourself does the worries worth.</p>
