I will be taking the SATs in 12 hours. Shocked Please, pray for me, I'm a bit nervous. I'll tell my results (maybe) on May 9th, when the scores come out.

I know some of you may think this is spam, but I just "needed" to post this. Whatever. Confused

SAT's are in no way as hard as they make them out to be...it's really nothing more than your average fill-in-bubble test, and your score supposedly goes up by 100 points every time you take it. Say you start with an 1100...next year, you take it again and get 1200. Then 1300...you get the idea. I took the SAT for the first time in 8th grade, and have taken it twice since; my last score was 1300, and I'm taking it again soon. Score well on the SAT, and you'll wind up with a mailbox full of college brochures begging you to come to their school.

Never, ever take those SAT prep courses and never, ever study for it. In my experience, all that does is make you more nervous, resulting in poor concentration and bad scores. A friend of mine who is otherwise one smart dude took one of those courses, crammed, and proceeded to get a low score on it because he was too busy worrying to just take the test. Instead, put the whole damn thing out of your head until the minute before you go in to take it. Also, get a severe overdose of sleep, since it IS almost 3 hours long and you don't want to doze off in the middle. Oh yeah, breakfast helps too.

Just chill...they aren't that hard.

I remember taking mine, got drunk at a Tom Petty concert the night before the tests. Wink They aren't that difficult, as long as you don't stress out about them, and have your brain go blank on you.

I read an article a year or so ago that says chewing gum before a test raises your score.

Yeah, it does. I think eating jawbreakers or whatever helps too.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

I took it in the summer between 7th and 8th grade and scored something like 1100, then I took it in high school and got somewhere between 1350-1400. Between that and my 99th percentile ASVAB scores, I was pounded with mail for colleges and stuff so badly!

I'm the bawss.

Just took them this morning. I guess I did alright, but we'll find out on April 9th. Smile

Anyway, I wasn't really worried. I somewhat embelished my feelings in my post.

Don't worry - the test is pretty straight-forward. Essentially, it does not test how good you are at English or Math as much as it tests how well you know the SAT.

I took it cold last October just to see how much I'll need to prep when I go for my real final score - I got a 1540 (800 math, 740 verbal). I'm going to take it again in October and will shoot for a 1600 - maybe this time I'll go get a prep book or something... Smile

Im not sure if they give the same test nation-wide, but if they did...

Which do you think was the experimental section? IMO, it was the verbal section with the two consecutive, paragraph long, passages. (not questions on a SET of passages, it was one SHORT passage, then questions, then a second passage & questions).
