Good luck tomorrow! My advice to you is: remember to bring all the necessary things like extra pencils, calculator, snacks, ticket and ID. If you must bring a cell phone, turn it OFF once you sign-in. When I took the test last fall we were told if any cell phones were even SEEN it would result in a cancellation of your scores
.
As far as the actual test goes, just remember to not stress out. On the essay, think about/plan what you will write, but not too long, you only have 25 minutes! Also, the questions about the passages will always go in order of how they occured in the story.
I took the SAT in June of 2007 as a Junior. I got an 1800/2400 (560 CR, 610 M, 630 W) I was pretty happy with my scores, but when school started my guidance counselor urged me to retake. I didn't want to because I was content and my scores were well in the range of my schools, but I did anyways. I ended up dropping in math & writing and ended up with like a 1670 or something ridiculous.
I did not really study or prep either time. But I don't think I'd highly recommend hard-core studying like weeks in advance. Maybe some vocab, and review of algebraic concepts or whatever. They give you geometry formulas so don't waste your time studying those.
Also, if you can, try to remember the order in which the sections went. It always starts with Essay, but if you can remember the 9? sections after that it's helpful because one section will not count. There are like 3 different sets of test, so the random section is different.. If you go on College Board next week it will say something like one section will not count towards your score.
Sorry that was really long! Go to bed early, get a good night's sleep, eat breakfast and remember all your things in the morning and just try your best!
