SAT on Saturday, October 10!

Wednesday October 7, 2009

Well, kids, it's that time...SAT time! Saturday, October 10, high school students around the country will be sitting down for the SAT test.

Are you one of them? Have you prepared?

If you're relying on your good looks to get you the SAT score you really want, you should consider looking in a mirror.

Ya just ain't that pretty. No one is.

The fact is, the SAT test doesn't care how you look. You know what the SAT test cares about? The right answer. And your parents (and prospective universities) care about the same thing.

So don't disappoint everyone, okay? If you've waited until now to start preparing, you're a little late.

But late is better than never, so cram for the SAT a little bit while you're busy explaining the late registration fee to your parents.

Good luck!

I took the SAT this saturday. This was my second time taking the test. I’m afraid for my essay score but I believe I did better. Now I get to fret until the scores are posted on the 29th.

Hey Kimberlee,
Don’t stress out about it. =) Stats prove that when you retake the test, your score improves. And the essay is just a portion of the writing section, so you’re okay.

Write back after you get your results and let me know how you did, okay? It would be great to hear from you in my forum
