<p>Hi CC! I know this forum is specifically for SAT/ACT test preparation but I was wondering if any of you had any good tips to keep my confidence level stabilized? The thing is, my scores tend to vary depending on my confidence level; I do better when my confidence is up, and much much worse when its low. My aim is to get a minimum of the following, as I have consistently been getting these scores on my practice tests from the BB: 700-CR, 800-M, 800-W. Thanks!</p>
<p>It is important to relax the night before. Maybe you want to look over some notes the night before, but 2 hours would be the absolute maximum in my opinion. I would watch some TV after 7. Or whatever floats your boat. But studying a little bit after school will give you the confidence that you did indeed study a bit and you are not going to the test cold, but also helps you calm your mind down a bit.
I would also read a newspaper article during breakfast to “warm up” your brain. This is what I did and got close to my practice scores.
Rest assured that BB scores correspond pretty good to actual test results ;)</p>
