SHSAT STRESS?????!!?!?!?

well i didn't get a 82/ you mean 82% but don't lose all hope, first you have to remember study only if your really willing too because you have a lot of work to do then, if your not going to use your time then you might as well forget about it. about the barron book i thought was the same but more effective to my learning. Also most of the books should show how to do these problems,my cousins all got in and gave me tips btu then again i did alright and i got in brooklyn latin high school(which sucks). if i remember well the formulas for the test are already in it so you don't really have to worry about that. i know it sounds a bit stupid but get your times table really GOOD. because all fo the test is about it in some way. the english, the most effective way is to read fast but also get it the most. and questions you don't get, skip it and come back to it later. also if you really have abit of chance to a different high school, then go to (bronx last year cut-off was 509 and brooklyn was 490ish). Also get good sleep and rest. and don't come late and nervous it will really kill, happened to me and results came out ugly as i didn't expect. if you don't get into the specialized High school then do the summer discovery, i know you don't anything about it but my friend tells me it can get you a chance of getting into a specialized High school, far as info as i know about the summer discovery. i got a 472 and my cousins got 587 and 566, so don't worry i felt very shameful in my family. i'm not a honor student so you don't have to have to be honor the test is not designed how smart you are, but how well you studied over your past years. i'm taking the 9th grade test in the beginning of nvember and i remebr the 8th graders get their results at feburary( i got mine at feb. 13) so maybe the same.getting a 82% is really ntoa that bad. also the test is every piont 8 and 16. they have different points for each question, something the board of ed. does. GOOD LUCK =]
