    As long as you're not nervous enough to vomit on yourself and/or your test, you're probably gonna earn at least an 1100.

    Get enough sleep and make sure you eat something before heading out to take the test. Taking a long test when you're either tired or hungry really kills all motivation.

    3rd is just the 2nd loser. Use a #1 pencil. Better yet, carve the ovals out with a knife, then sign your name in blood

    If you are a senior, make sure you take it at least twice before you apply for college.

    If you are a junior, keep taking it and if you are happy with it make sure to check with your school of choice before applying early as it may keep you from being accepted. My dumb *** high school advisor didn't know that and it kept me from getting into UNC-Chapel Hill while classmates with poorer credentials got in. Meanwhile you're stuck at the University of Duhhhh...

    So I just finished. Did pretty well I think. Not amazing but quite well.

    I think the amount of practice tests I took really helped since the time didn't really kill me too much. I was used to it

    ...the blood of your peers. This shows you are a winner; on many levels. Shows you are driven and committed to getting the highest score possible, by any means necessary. If you don't get a high if not the highest score, then they obviously didn't get the hint.

    Judging by the Hebrew on his avatar, I'd say he's going to do just fine.

    If you aren't happy with your scores try the ACT. I remember the ACT being much easier when I was in your position.

    Thanks for the advice. Unfortuantley, I dont think I'll ever be happy with my scores. I want to go to UF but its so random getting in or not. People have gotten into Harvard and rejected into UF. Im a very impatient person, so if there's a shot I wont get in, I'll want to take it again. Even though I want to be over with this ****.

    I got my scores! My sister had my password and woke me up at 8AM with the scores. Wanted to kill her.

    I got a 670 on the math, 640 on the reading, and 640 on the writing. Thats 1310 on the reading+math, and a 1950 total. That's really good.

    But I think Im going to take it again in like March to see if I can improve the Math a little.

    Live from the Internet.
    Why improve math if you got lower on reading? Lol
    I enjoyed all of my language arts classes more than math, I hate math.

    Well, but they were all close. 30 points is equal to about one question. I think I can improve on all of them and am going to study for all of them equally.

    Math is practice, and reading and writing are techniques.

    Plus I am pretty good at math

    That's great news! Congratulations. Also glad to hear that you want to take them again. It's a lot easier with no pressure. Keep us updated and once again, congrats!
