SAT/ACT Freak Out Thread

Test Preparation
1

<p>SAT scores for the October test come out in two days, and every time I think about them, I want to die a little inside. I got a 2110 on my last SAT, with a 780 in Writing, a 760 in Reading...and a dreadful 570 in Math. </p>

<p>I NEED my math score to go up. By at least 100 points. Preferably 200 (kidding. kind of). Especially since my ACT score was only a 29. </p>

<p>I'm applying to a lot of competitive schools, and if this stupid math score doesn't go up...I'm probably screwed.</p>

<p>So this thread is dedicated to anyone/everyone who feels the urge to have a nervous-rant about their upcoming/previous SAT/ACT scores. We can all comfort each other, support each other, congratulate each other, or just cry together.</p>

<p>Anyone else feeling the pressure??</p>

<p>does it count that I’m freaking out and I’m just the mom… I keep checking the college board thinking just maybe it will be released early, but it’s not.</p>

<p>Yeah im freaking out too, I have 2320 super scored, but all my friends have 2300 + single sitting, so Im kinda embarrassed. Hopefully Ill get the max score this time. I’ll be crushed if I don’t get atleast a 2300 =(. </p>

<p>Chill out. Its just a test score. These kids nowadays care too much. Instead spend your time doing some innovative, like started an initiative or curing cancer.</p>

4

<p>Yea me too. I’m really freaking out but just watch, in a few years all of this will seem very juvenile and we’ll wonder why we were so worried in the first place.</p>

<p>KITKAT I FEEL YOU. I have a 770cr, 750w, but 640 on math. I studied my butt off for this test and I better get 680+ on math or I will cry, bury my face in sand, and die. I’m in the same boat, applying to a lot of reach school I know for certain I’ll be rejected to unless my math score goes up. On all my practice tests leading up to the test, I would only miss one or two on all the math sections combined. But after reading those threads where everyone illegally talks about the answers immediately after the test, I feel like I’ve missed around 5 and that almost certainly puts me out of 700 range, which imo is so lame and stupid. Like whyyyyyyyyyyyyy</p>

6

<p>OH MY GOD. I have 680 CR 770 M and 800 W and I really need that CR to be over 750. I think I did it but I’m really not sure!!! I can’t wait 15 more hours!!! AHHHHHHHH!</p>

7

<p>Less than 12 hours now…</p>

<p>Took it my first time on the 5th. I really hope I get above a 2100, but it might not be likely. Lot of really high grades on this thread make me feel pretty stupid though.</p>

<p>Going to stay up tonight until it comes out. I don’t think I’d be able to sleep if I tried. Have an AP Physics test in like 10 minutes, yet I care more about venting my stress on the internet.</p>

8

<p>Ahhh I feel like my head is going to explode, and I have two essays to write tonight! Will tomorrow morning just COME already =(???</p>

<p>I have entered a strange state of calm. I really need to improve my score because of the schools I’m applying to, but I don’t see the point of stressing over what I got. I know tomorrow when I check I’ll have all these nervous butterflies floating around in my stomach and then that crushing feeling when I see how much I DIDN’T improve, but right now I don’t feel anything about it. I’m not going to let that score affect the way I view myself as a person. How many adults even remember what they got on the SAT?</p>

<p>To put out some perspective, no one in my entire school got a score in 2300’s at all. Not on the first time, second time, or third time. I completely and utterly fail to understand why anyone would retake a score in the 2300’s.</p>

10

<p>T minus 11 hours</p>

11

<p>Just about 4 more hours left for me! 1st sat score so kind of expecting a bad score but also want a good score since its pretty much my last act/sat test try! Also act saturday, and crapload of college apps to complete! Aghh dying here!</p>

12

<p>I hope you know it’s 5 am EASTERN time. So no matter where you live, everyone will get it at the same time.</p>

<p>@ctneal21, Thanks for confirming it. After I commented, I saw someone else say the same thing in another thread…</p>

14

<p>Guys, just study your but off for the December Sat.</p>

15

<p>Im the one who has to make a minimum of 200 pt improvement from an 1860…yeah good luck for that happening</p>

<p>k i think I let it all out</p>

17

<p>Usually when I take practice tests I get 780-800 on Math. It has always my best section. In May, I got a 670 -_-. Thats lower than my lowest grade on a practice test! And now I’m hoping for at least a 750. I don’t know if I should stay up to find out either, I don’t want to be a zombie at school tomorrow lol.</p>

18

<p>Seriously so nervous. I don’t want this to ruin the rest of homecoming week for me.</p>

19

<p>Moment of truth is coming…we’ve got like 4 hours to go, guys =(…</p>

<p>I couldn’t go to sleep if I tried. Guess I should be glad it’s 2 AM for my timezone, although east coasters would probably just have to wake up an hour early.</p>
