Another SAT hint…
Nov 19th, 2007 by Academics Plus Tutoring
Hear ye, Hear ye, all SAT students….Steer clear of making comparisons….
It is very common for SAT prep students to compare themselves to their friends and classmates. And, it is not uncommon for SAT prep students to try to live up to their siblings’ or parents’ successes, such as the phenomenal SAT score that ensured a father’s acceptance to Harvard or the ease with which an older sister sailed through the test preparation process. Comparing oneself to others can be defeating and confusing, and may undermine self-esteem and confidence. Every SAT student begins the standardized test preparation process with his or her own set of skills and abilities, and responds to the challenges of the test in a unique way. It is much more productive for SAT students to endeavor to make steady and constant progress with respect to their own personal starting point, and to set personal goals, and monitor their own progress at cumulative steps along the way with this starting point in mind.
