    much easier than the sat. go very quickly. if you dont know something skip it. dont leave anything blank, guess because they dont penalize you for getting it wrong. also, take it at least twice. i ended up scoring 2 points higher everytime i took it.

    Definitely do well on the Science portions. I've been a tutor for a long time and really just keep practicing, know your faults and try to fix them.

    adderall??

    I took it for the SATs, but it made me very, very talkative and made my butt sweat a lot for some weird reason.

    I scored decently on it after taking it twice with absolutely no practice. Get at least some practice and you should score pretty high (but if you just wing it you should be fine although I am not advocating it, I'm just trying to reduce your stress by saying others like me have). Also unless you are planning to go to a highly regarded academic school it probably won't mean that much (your GPA is your golden ticket). So just don't stress and you'll be fine. :up:

    There really isn't a science portion, it is just another reading section loosely based around the idea of what science covers. :yes:

    True enough but you gotta at least know something about science. Colleges will give that portion a bit more weight especially if you want to go into engineering, etc.

    But I never took it in high school, my SAT was pretty damn good, and I only tutor others with the reading and math portions so I'll take your word for it.
