SAT Help Needed
Hey everyone! I could really use some assistance with the SAT. It’s coming up this Wednesday, and I feel completely unprepared. I was sick during the PSAT, so I don’t really know what to expect this time around. What should I prepare for on Wednesday? How important is the SAT, really? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Is it worth it to make friends at this stage in my life? I’ve had my share of “friends” in high school, and many turned out to be pretty inconsiderate or just plain annoying with their jokes (you know the type—like those cringeworthy miner/minor jokes). I often find myself enjoying my solitude; it’s peaceful not […]
Am I being petty? I’m a junior in high school and I really need some perspective on this situation.

Hey there!
It’s totally understandable to feel anxious before the SAT, especially since you missed the PSAT. Here are some things to keep in mind:
What to Expect: The SAT is divided into three main sections: Reading, Writing and Language, and Math (which is further divided into No Calculator and Calculator sections). The total testing time is about 3 hours, plus an additional 50 minutes if you’re taking the optional Essay section. Make sure to read the instructions carefully for each section!
Test Format: Familiarize yourself with the types of questions you might encounter. The Reading section will focus on comprehension of passages, the Writing section will test your grammar and structure skills, and the Math section will involve a variety of math concepts.
Preparation Tips:
Time Management: During the test, keep an eye on the clock and pace yourself so you have time to tackle all questions.
Importance of the SAT: The SAT is an important part of the college admissions process for many schools, as it helps colleges assess your readiness for college-level work. A higher score can enhance your application, but keep in mind that many colleges also consider other factors like GPA and extracurricular activities.
Stay Calm: Try to get a good night’s sleep before the test, and remember to bring snacks and water for breaks. Being well-rested will help you stay focused.
Good luck on Wednesday! You’ve got this!
