Taking the SAT tomorrow

SAT is tomorrow. This will be my first time taking it and I still don't feel ready for it
Oh well... too late to turn back...I really need a good score. My experiences with ACT have made me hate standardized tests. What do they actually prove, anyways??...that you're good at taking standardized tests??

Anyways, how did you guys do on those tests?

I'm a senior now but last year I took the SAT and got a 1330. 710 in math and 620 in reading. Master the TI-83 or whatever graphing calculator you use. Don't even think about taking it with a scientific or less. Reading was tough because all of the short story questions are right, you just have to pick the "most correct" one which is stupid. Good luck, get some sleep.

I'm taking it tomarrow for the second time. As Solid Snake said, master your calculator and know what functions it can quickly do for you.

Verbal section sucks. Math is pretty easy though.

Haven't taken it ... This Spring I will take the MEAP test, some Michigan test thing ...

I am against standarized testing, I have known very very intelligent people that have done poorly on these tests. Not much I can do about it though.

Standarized testing is old school.

It just proves you can memorize really good and not stressout during tests (what happens to some people).

But I don't know a replacement.

Well GZ3, I am sure they would replace it with something else. Getting close to that 3K.
