What was your SAT score?

1200 on the old test. Drank the night before and didn't do an ounce of studying aside from brushing up on my math. If there is one thing I would recommend, it is solidifying your math knowledge before taking the test. A lot of simple procedures are easy to forget if you haven't dealt with them for awhile.

The verbal isn't as easy to study for.. I would recommend focusing more on math and study that hard before the test.

1400/1600. I did a few practice exams, but they didn't help. I averaged about the same on all of them, and certainly didn't get any higher on the real thing.

I skipped most of my homework and didn't do half the studying I was supposed to. I also have several learning disabilities. On the other hand, I'm extremely smart and I have an exceptional memory for facts (though not for things I want to get done, which is quite irritating). I got a 33 on the ACT with no practice at all. I think practice is a very good idea, but keeping your GPA up is even more important. If you don't do your homework but cover it up with a superior test score, you'll just find yourself out of your league in the wrong college or program.
