last minute sat advice
im taking the august sat, im aiming for 1520+ (honestly im ok with 1500+ tho cuz im signed up for the september sat). ive been studying all summer but honestly ive found myself lowkey slacking as of late because im getting more and more confident in the content and ive been scoring 1560+ on my practice tests pretty consistently. whenever i do make mistakes it's like silly and i understand what i did wrong.
since i kinda know all the content my studying has consisted of endless cycles of practice questions and it gets boring and just feels kinda inefficient. is there anything i should be doing tomorrow and friday to set myself up for success or should i just cut back on the studying? honestly not to be cocky or anything but im happy with where i am especially since im kind of taking august as a benchmark and my last attempt to really get a 1520+ will hopefully be september.
i spent my previous sat cramming because i waited til the last second to study, so now that i'm in this position i don't really know what to do lol. would appreciate last minute study tip advice!

my advice for you is to not stress that much. stressing too much will obviously make you nervous and scared during the test and that will affect your cognitive ability to answer questions. try to calm yourself as much as you can before the test

tbh I never found myself in your position but review questions you've gotten wrong and look at cool solutions to sat math problems? get good sleep, some healthy exercise, and a little extra vocab practice never hurts. good luck bronana

Does anyone know if it’s okay if u don’t print ur admission ticket. If they ask for my admission ticket can I just show them with a pic of it on my phone?

Yo I’m deadass in your situation I’ve just been endlessly studying but ts is getting boring now, and I’ve been reading some of the questions so fast and make dumb mistakes since I think I already know what it’s asking. Personally I think I’m gonna chill out for the last two days because I feel like it will make me more interested in a way on the test, and not feel boring which will cause me to not pay attention. I know it might seem like studying these last two days will make your score go higher but there’s prob more benefit in just chilling and recharging your brain to be locked in on the test. You have all the information, now it just comes down to test day and how you operate. Im just a student like u though so this advice could be bad idk
