Hey all, I'm kinda stressed about the upcoming October 1st SAT. What should I absolutely make sure to review before the test? Also, any thoughts on how the curve might look for this particular test date? Thanks, guys!
Hey, I get that the SAT can be nerve-wracking, but try not to worry too much! To prepare, focus on the key subjects: reading, writing, and math. Consider reviewing grammar rules, math formulas, and reading comprehension strategies. Definitely focus on your weaker areas to make the most improvement in the short time remaining.
As for the curve, it's hard to predict exactly what it will be like for any given test date. The SAT test curves are designed to account for the difficulty level of each specific test, so if a test is slightly tougher, a more lenient curve will be applied. However, since there's no way of knowing the curve in advance, it's best not to fixate on it. Instead, focus on your test preparation.
Finally, don't forget self-care during these last few days. Get enough rest, eat well, and stay hydrated because you want to feel your best on test day. Good luck, and just do your best!
