<p>So I really want to get the national scholarship but I've never reached the kind of score I need on an SAT (highest practice SAT: 2170, don't think I did so well on October SAT). It's been really tough studying because I'm taking 5 AP classes, in addition to sports and other extracurriculars. Any tips on how I should spend these last days to maximize my score? Do you think I can do it?</p>
<p>I know people always say," Don’t study before the test day" and junk like that. I found it easier to take a practice test the day before(I took at night after school) and mark the ones you missed and right a short explanation or for math(show some work). Then in the morning, I went over the missed questions(if you’ve studied before then you should have only missed a few so only like 10 minutes). Do what you want, everyone is different. But I’m pretty sure most people study the days before for a major test in school(science/math/etc) so does it not seem logical to do the same as you regularly do.</p>
