<p>Hello help me please , this is eating my mind, </p>
<p>Ok this is the deal.... I'm going to take the SAT this Saturday and the thing is that I'm not feeling prepared at all, Im feeling so upset about it, mainly upset about myself for not studying hard enough, I signed in for this test date since people told me: well you can always take it again!. And yep! that was my idea that if I do bad this Saturday then I'll take it in May................ BUT then i started thinking (and this are my questions):</p>
<p>If I suck on this test: 1. Will this hurt my chances when I eventually take the Gmat for a MBA????(I know it is like 6 years from now), I'm convinced that I'll be following a major in Business, so I wanted to know if somehow this can affect me, like if they have some sort of record or something (I might be just paranoic...)</p>
<p>I dont care to much what colleges think (about a first bad SAT score) since I would not be applying to any Ivy LEague or wathever.</p>
<p>I HOPE U ANSWER THIS ASAP PLEASE!!! CAUSE IM CONSIDERING OF NOT SHOWING UP ON TEST DATE AND JUST WAIT AND STUDY TILL MAY!!, IM REALLY DONT FEEL PREPRED AT ALL!!!!</p>
<p>THANKS SO MUCH FOR UR AWNSERS...</p>

<p>Don't worry about this. Some companies (Google, McKinsey) look at test scores even the SAT as a way of screening applicants, but MBA programs don't. The bigger question is: are you sure you want to sit for the test if you are certain you aren't ready? Maybe you should take more time to practice.</p>
<p>As an aside, I actually had a friend Duke undergrad, Berkeley MBA who was offered a job at McKinsey and actually turned it down partly because he was so peeved at this practice of them considering the SAT. He's lucky he did: he just sold his company for millions.</p>
<p>You're as prepared as you are going to be for the SAT. It is not really something that you can study much for. A pillow is your best study aid for the SAT. Get a good nights rest, wake up and eat a healthy breakfast. bring a snack with you for the breaks and just try your hardest. That is how you will get your maximum results. My SAT score raised 210 points just because the first time I went to a party the night before after working, and I didn't eat breakfast. The second time I slept well and ate breakfast and my scores drastically improved.</p>
<p>Thanks gor the responses, I really appreciate it.</p>
<p>"RealityCheck2":
Why do companies consider your SAT scores at that point of ones life, I mean from the time you took it.. by that time you are probably a "new" person... But anyway RealityCheck2 you mean only your highest SAT score right? Or do they have acces to ETS(test makers) recors or something like that??????</p>

<p>McKinsey is famous also for checking high school grades. Don't worry: most companies don't do things like this, and anyway, if you are not caring what your first score on the SAT is and think it might be low, you probably weren't going to be McKinsey material to begin with. Same with Google. It's just the way they are.</p>
<p>Though do keep your credit nose clean because more companies do undertake credit checks of potential employees. I don't know exactly what they look for, but I can't imagine lots of non-payments/defaults would look good.</p>
