ok, really guys...CHILL OUT!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>everyone really really needs to calm down. seriously. yeah, i KNOW it's the damn SATs and it's important, but IT'S OUT OF YOUR HANDS NOW. there is no use spending all day on the computer trying to justify answers because frankly, there's nothing you can do about the answers you've picked. </p>

<p>i've spent the last few hours on CC trying to figure out how I did, but i only end up frustrating myself. positive thoughts and optimism, guys. i wish everyone the best of luck and we're all gonna tear it up.</p>

<p>Seriously, avant! I hate the threads that rehash every single problem on the test. They serve no purpose...the test is over and there is nothing you can do about the problems you missed. If you need to confirm all your answers, then you have problems...And anyway, those threads just make you depressed when you find out you missed a problem. Same thing happened to me last year...I visited an SAT II thread and I discovered that I missed 3 questions...it made me really depressed, and then I ended up with an 800...stupid forums...That's why this year I refuse to look at the threads. So what if I missed one? I don't need to know about it. My score will come in a few weeks and if I really care that much about the math then I'll look up the concept in my textbook...I don't care to find out that I missed problem #43 because the answer was E and the trick was to use your calculator...</p>

<p>you got a 1400 mallomar, and avant got a 1650 ..
congrats</p>

4

<p>that's rude of you, foxshox.</p>

5

<p>i hope you get 1760 avant-garde</p>

6

<p>Foxshox, what are you talking about? If you care to know what I really got, look though some of my posts. If you know how to do that.</p>

7

<p>I'm disappointed after looking at those threads.</p>

<p>Oh well.</p>

8

<p>Yes, so don't look at them! I depressed myself also. Last May it reassured me but I ended up getting a lower score than I anticipated. So, depressed now means high score later. LOL.</p>

9

<p>Exactly! Ignore those threads, save your sanity, and concentrate on things you can fix and change now</p>

10

<p>Well, these people are obviously obsessive neurotics. Including myself, of course.</p>

11

<p>foxshox is an axehole</p>

12

<p>no i dont really care what you got, and maybe it is out of our hands, but it isnt out of our heads, and people want to be reassured. They dont want to be suprised, and most of all we want good scores. Theres only so much positive thoughts and optimism can do, and where that fails, i get cold hard facts. I dont see how you can pretend to be optimistic if you know you did bad?</p>

<p>Plus people might be taking another one after this, they want to know how to solve problems they dont know how to do. They want to be able to do them in another situation. Maybe you need to calm down, let people be, some people have more than just lackluster things riding on this test.</p>

13

<p>I'm just off to cram for SAT IIs.</p>

<p>Then applications and essays...</p>

<p>And torture myself while waiting for acceptance or rejection letters...</p>

14

<p>I so agree! (with the OP) Thank you!</p>

<p>Though I admit, I'm guilty of looking over the forums for a few minutes too, but then I came to my senses.</p>

<p>I think part of the problem is that CC brings out the obsessive perfectionist in all of us.</p>

15

<p>Chill out guys. The test is over. Browsing through the threads is relaxing, don't you think ?</p>

16

<p>It's relaxing for me because I aced the exam!</p>
