Has anyone ever done this???

I am going for my PSAT next Wednesday and I am really nervous. I know its not the real SAT but I am really bad with tests alone. Then they're timing you on each section. So my question is have you ever taken an SAT or any kind of huge timed test and if so any tips on how to get through it?

I've taken the PSAT last year and I am taking it next week on the same day. Anyways,I try to relax the day before the test and before the test itself. I sometimes try to think of something else for a bit. It helps me. Don't rush because it's timed. Answer the questions you know first and then get to the ones you don't. Read the questions before reading and make a mental note in your head for important information. Stay relaxed and be focused on the test. You'll be fine.

Yes, I've had quite a lot of exams - most recently, 12 in May/June. All you need to do is stay calm. Remember to breathe. If you don't understand a question, move on. Don't spend ages agonising over it. Move on and continue through the paper, then go back and try the ones you left out again. Never leave a blank space - use process of elimination to guess the most likely answer. Don't panic, don't freak out. Keep an eye on the clock and figure out how much time you have left. You should try and complete a couple of practice papers beforehand so you have an idea of what you have to do in the time you have. Read the question carefully at least twice.

(on SATs they penalize you for wrong answers so if you can't narrow it down to 2 or 3 you should leave it blank)

Really? Oops. I haven't ever done SATs (I don't think they're done where I live) so maybe don't answer every question

Yeah, I've taken PSATs, SATs twice, and SAT subject tests once. Idk, they're really not that bad, just tedious and tiresome. Just don't get hung up on one question, especially in math. If you can't figure it out in a minute skip it and come back if you've got time. *shrugs* It's just another test, don't freak out.
