Weekend Warrior

Well this weekend is a crazy busy one for juniors across the country, thats for sure, so what did I do? I locked myself away in the solace of my bedroom with my trusty laptop and SAT prep book, only emerging for an emergency two and a half hour tutoring session with my strange but ever-so-hilarious SAT tutor at 9:00 last night. Fun, no?

Luckily for me my tutor has assigned me some homework for the next 5 days before I take that dreaded test and that includes cramming for vocab, a small handful of practice questions, and even a few 20 minute periods of meditation. Yup, meditation. I told you, this guy is strange! But seriously though, without having been given an assignment to meditate, I probably would have driven myself bonkers with studying.

It feels so strange thinking that five days from now I'll actually be taking the SAT. Like, you always hear people talking about it and it seemed so far-off really up until last night when I was given a final pep talk. I feel as prepared as I possibly can for someone who has never taken the test before, and with the schools that I'm applying to I really don't think I have anything to worry about (I mean the average score for Tennessee is like 1190), but I still can't help but feel a little bit of anxiety going into it, and I think that's normal... or at least I hope it is. How was y'alls experience with the SAT, or the ACT for that matter? Any advice for a first-time test taker?
