Score Anxiety

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Well I need to calm down :)</p>

<p>Just the thought of my SAT score makes my heart race and makes me feel uneasy. I have fears of misbubbled sections (Imagine seeing a 490 in math when you were expecting an 800! :D ). It's also essentially my last shot. I'm a senior applying to my ED school, so this is essentially the end of the road for me. The most frustrating part is that I've practiced so much (40+ practice tests?), only to receive a very subpar (100-150 pts below my avg) score in June because I was very nervous (at least, that's what I tell myself. I don't know how true it is). I can't afford to have this happen again. </p>

<p>But at the same time I have to accept it. Whatever happens, happens. And that's life :D</p>

<p>So be it. </p>

<p>How do you all feel?</p>

<p>I’m still a junior so you have more of a right to be scared…but I’m still terrified.
Good luck to you! (and on college stuff too!)</p>

<p>well good luck anyways!! :stuck_out_tongue:
SAT Math II scores come out thursday… so yeah, I’m pretty nervous too.</p>

4

<p>@megan Ahh don’t worry about Math II, the curve is SO lenient. Apparently I scored in the top 88%, and still got an 800…</p>

5

<p>Gooood luck, everyone! </p>

<p>In thirty-something hours, hundreds of nervous CCers will be frantically refreshing their computer screens, panicking over their SAT scores and then (hopefully) celebrating their successes!</p>

I am pretty much in the same boat. I am a senior who didn’t score high enough last March, and now this is my last chance… Also, I am applying EA, and without improving my last score I have no chance of being admitted. I get extremely anxious as well before and during the test, which is why I make so many dumb mistakes…
I am so scared for Thursday; this whole week I’ve been having nightmares. Best of luck on your score!</p>

<p>How will our scores be presented online? Will the first page have a breakdown of each section, or will it just show our composite score?</p>

8

<p>I’m so nervous, I’m thinking of not checking my scores until I get home from school.</p>

<p>@Subsidize </p>

<p>It will look like this if you got a 2400 for example --</p>

<p>Critical Reading 800 Percentile 99
Math 800 Percentile 99
Writing 800 Percentile 99
MC:80 Essay:12</p>

<p>Wait seriously. Oh god that is so much worse than just a composite.<br>
How am I supposed to do mental addition whilst having a panic attack???</p>

11

<p>@atmtangerine thats why I always have a calculator with me before i check my scores lol</p>

12

<p>I set such a high standard for myself, and if I don’t get what I expected, I will definitely be depressed for a few days. What’s worse is that I bombed the math section. I usually do superb, but on the October one, I don’t know what happened.</p>

<p>Oh, and when does it come out? Thursday 2AM for pacific? So basically a Wednesday night?</p>

13

<p>Ill be jittering.</p>

14

<p>^^Yep! Wednesday night. </p>

<p>Here comes the pre-test score anxiety…I can almost feel a panic attack coming on… Good grief!</p>

15

<p>Just be patient and see the score in the morning…
When I checked my score (January) @ 2am (Hawaii) …
…
Couldn’t sleep for the rest of the “morning…”</p>

16

<p>If I get a 600 in math, I won’t be happy, but with the toughness of the OCT test’s math sections…wow…just wow…</p>

<p>I was hoping for something like 700+ in math, but it’s a no go.</p>

<p>If I get a 2100, I’ll scream with joy. If I hit 2000+ I’ll be happy as well.</p>

17

<p>sorry bro, but math was superbly easy.</p>

18

<p>Yea math was easy. Im hoping for 700, and worst case scenario 680 hopefully</p>

19

<p>AH totally share your fear of misbubbling! I’ve been so anxious all week 2 am can not come soon enough. Also scored about 150-200 below my average the first time, but got right around my average score the second time, so hopefully it will be the same for you.</p>

<p>when do the scores usually come out central time?</p>
