Im scared please help

Answer 1

As someone who has taken the SAT three times, I can honestly tell you that you'll be just fine. Some tests seemed harder than others in my opinion and perhaps you were not on your game when you first took the test.  Your practice test scores obviously suggest that you have been thinking and working hard about the test.  You seem prepared, get a good night's sleep, and eat a good breakfast, and good things will happen.  Best of luck, my friend!

Answer 2

Get a good night's sleep and relax

Answer 3

Since it's already Friday, you shouldn't do any studying.  Watch a movie or some tv and just stop thinking about the SATs.  Go to sleep at around 10PM if your test is at 8AM.  You don't want to get too much sleep or you'll be groggy while you're taking the test.  Before I took the SATs/SAT IIs/AP exams, I would always do a few random math problems from a study guide right before taking the test to warm up my brain (that sounds weird, but it works).  During the test, don't panic.  If you can't figure out a question, skip it and come back to it later.  You've probably heard this already, but if you get a question wrong, you get points deducted so if you seriously have no idea how to do a question, just omit the answer.  Okay now relax and stop thinking about the SATs.

Good luck tomorrow!
