DON'T STUDY TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Okay, I took the SATs in March. I did fantastic - I never have to take them again now. But I know I did more poorly than I could have done because I studied the night before. I had nightmares ALL NIGHT and only got 6 hours of sleep! Here are sure-fire tips to help you do well!





1. Don't drink coffee before the exam - you'll buzz your brain only to crash.





2. Get a lot of sleep! Drink Chamomile tea or warm milk if you have to before bed.





3. Eat a nice carby dinner, like pasta.





4. Relax the night before by doing something like watching a movie or taking a nice bath.





5. Make sure you're not drowsy by the time you get to the testing area! Get in the shower and turn it on cold if you have to for maybe 30 seconds (then just go on warm if you can't stand more than 30 seconds of icy water like me, hahaha) but don't use like any drugs like caffeine or sugary things like soda or candy to wake you up.





6. Eat a big breakfast (but not so much that you'll be completely stuffed, which will make you tired!), maybe eggs and toast, or something with peanut butter... Just make sure you have loads of protein and fiber to fill you up and keep you going strong!





7. Don't freak yourself out! My poorest score was on the writing because I flipped out when I started the test (THE ESSAY PORTION IS ALWAYS FIRST!!!)... I kept thinking, ';OH MY GOSH! I'M TAKING THE SAT THE SAT THE SAT! AHHHHH!';





8. I don't care what anyone tells you, guess! You never lose any points for not doing anything, but you gain a point for every answer you get write. Technically, though, you do lose 1/4 of a point for every time you get an answer wrong, but if you can eliminate 2 choices, that means you actually have a 1/3 chance of getting it right! Oh, and on the grid-ins (the math ones which you use bubbles to write your answers instead of letters a b c, etc.), a wrong answer NEVER counts against you.





9. There are very very few triples on the exam, the collegeboard purposely makes sure there aren't as many as there should be mathmatically so you don't Christmas tree the exam and get more than you ';should';.





10. The SAT will NEVER say anything bad about a minority group or women, so if you're reading something and it asks you what word best describes Chi Lin, it's ALWAYS going to be something positive or neutral.





11. The SAT also goes up in increasing difficulty in the grammar questions and the math questions, but every single one of them are worth the same amount of points, so don't spend too much time on one. Pacing yourself is the KEY!!!





12. Also, on some word inserting questions, there'll be two blanks or one... Use context clues but also, there's the ';positive, negative'; approach. Here's a question I made for you.





';Simon was dejectedly dragging his feet as he walked down the street, but when he saw his girlfriend, he ____.';





a) smiled b) frowned c) scoffed d) ululated e) cacchinated





Okay, so you many not know the last two words (or at least pretend you don't if you do because you're a latin nerd like I am hahaha) - don't WORRY! Use the negative word ';but'; - it implies that Simon wasn't dragging his feet when he saw his girlfriend. What would that mean? It's sort of like saying ';Simon was feeling bad but then he felt ____';... Simon felt good when he saw his girlfriend! The ';negative'; word, but, means that the blank has to imply an opposite feeling, right?


So the answer wouldn't be b or c... And since you probably don't know what the heck the last two mean, the answer that makes the most sense would be ';a) smiled';. Even if a) was wrong, you still had a 34 % chance of getting it correct - but a) is right, just so you know, hahaha. :)





ANYWAY!





BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!! :) You'll do your best, don't worry! And it's not the end of the world, whatever you do get!
