(no subject)

My tutor says that I'm improving. I really don't see it. I feel so nervous taking a test when he's waiting for me to finish up a section so that we can review it. That is one reason I think that I make the mistakes...that and not understanding the wording of the problem. I'm so crap at this. My essays I wrote for him were quite bad but he gave me a 4/4.5, which is okay. I'm too vague, my examples suck...I need to have something concrete. I don't know how to do that. I mean, I do, I just can't think of how to do it when taking the test. Between today and next Friday I will do a full length test and see just how awful at this I really am. Fun. Fscking SATs...

You're not stupid. Don't worry. When you least expect it, you'll rise to the occassion. :) What are you having problems with?

I make stupid mistakes in both math and English. English is my better subject, though, so I get more disappointed in myself when I go over what I got wrong again and know immediately what the right answer is. I'm going to review my answers before finishing the section during the real test...

I mean, it's not like they are extremely hard, I just don't like timed tests. I prefer to take my time. But the SATs are extreme testing...I just need to get used to it. And wear a watch.

Urgh. Standardized testing is always the worst. I don't know how the SATs work. Are you able to do different sections of the test before others, or do you have to do it in order?
