<p>Is it unheard of for people to have extremely good grades but not do well on the SAT or ACT?</p>
<p>Maybe I just have anxiety towards these tests (I'm taking my first SAT II's in January..) </p>
<p>I mean I have all A's.. I take AP classes and honors classes, yet when I take those practice tests, I literally bomb them and I don't get why..: S</p>
<p>Does it just depend on how much you study out of the prep books?</p>
<p>I would think that’s very possible. Maybe a student attends a school with major grade inflation. Just do your best and don’t get too wound about it.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s very possible.</p>
<p>I think it would help you greatly if you took a lot of practice tests.
Time yourself, take the test, and work on the problems you got wrong (with a help of friends and teachers).
From my experience of taking numerous practice tests in the summer,
taking the SAT became easier with practice.
I now finish each section with five to ten minutes to check my answers.</p>
<p>Don’t sweat it. Once you get used to the test, your anxiety will go away.</p>
