May 2012 SAT Support Group

<p>Hi everyone! </p>

<p>I'm sure many people are nervous about tomorrow so I thought we could help each other alleviate some of our stress here! Feel free to offer any useful advice, tips, tricks and stress relievers for the exam. If you want to blow off some steam with writing, feel free to do it here!</p>

<p>Personally, I'm going to focus on being excited to do my best on this exam instead of worrying about the score. Hopefully, with this positive outlook, the stress won't contribute to any careless mistakes and a good score may come naturally.</p>

<p>Im kind of excited as well!</p>

<p>My feelings were a roller coaster today. For a few hours I was so excited to take the exam and then the next few hours I was really nervous. It kept repeating every few hours and right now I’m nervous again but starting to transition to excited ! My mind is weird today, haha.</p>

<p>^^^Not the only one, lol!</p>

<p>2100+
:(:(:(:(:(:(</p>

<p>For me, 2000+</p>

<p>Should I do a practice test now? I haven’t done one at all these 2 weeks. Except 3 math sections from one test.</p>

<p>I did some today, but Untimed and just relaxed mode style.</p>

<p>Essay is just going to be what is on top of my mind… And I’ll pray.</p>

<p>I’m only going to use two examples also. Unless one of my versatile examples have done different things that equally support my argument. I’m only using two because I tend to write slowly :(</p>

<p>Anyways, I’m off to do a a practice test in “relaxed mode” ( thanks for the idea Eric!) </p>

<p>What time are you guys going to sleep and waking up? I only slept 3 hours last night , so I’m aiming for 7 hours tonight. And is there anything we could eat the night before to keep our mind stimulated in the morning?</p>

<p>Am I crazy for having fake names prepared in case I forget my example’s actual names during the essay?</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I’m just probably going to stick with my regular schedule…I don’t want me brain to be outta wack. But I am going to eat breakfast in the morning! :)</p>

<p>A tip: don’t be nervous. It’s really not a difficult test. Freaking out will make it ten times worse. </p>

<p>Anyway, I’m aiming to get over 2200.</p>

<p>I’m nervous for the essay :frowning: it’s my first actual SAT that I’m taking, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to think of any good examples. Let’s hope it’s an easy prompt :/</p>

<p>For me, the SAT is definitely a tough nut to crack! I took it once before, in January, and obtained a 2110. In contrast, I’ve gotten a 34 on the ACT last month. Anyways, my biggest mistake was freaking out during the CR section! I really hope my score is at least a 2150, if not a 2200+ this time around.</p>

<p>I’m awfully thankful for score choice; it allows me to not beat myself up if the CR is insane, and focus instead on bringing my Math and Writing scores up. :)</p>

<p>6am. I get there around 7:30am-7:45am.</p>

<p>I’m kind of excited guys. I wanna take this. I was disappointed with my ACT score. 29. Hopefully I’ll get at least 2100 tomorrow. September retake for ACT planned and October for SAT if it doesn’t go according to plan. </p>

<p>Good luck to all you guys. Remember, don’t over think and don’t panic. To me, it’s a logic based test.</p>

<p>I’m going to bed now, Good Night everyone! Don’t be nervous. You’ve prepared for this. /cheesypeptalk Don’t forget to check for careless mistakes!</p>
