hi
hi i'm in 7th grade and i recently took the SATs for the talent search (not for college lol!). well i took it and got a 1060 which i think is actually pretty good for a 7th grader. but 3 people in my grade got like 1100 something and this boy even got a 1370 (which is unbelievably good! that's almost a 1400!). idk..but i'm just so mad, i mean how come i couldn't get those scores? am i just stupid!! my sister also got a better score. i always thought i was pretty smart since i got good grades a lot, but now for the first time, i feel stupid. what's wrong with me?

There is nothing wrong with you. You might have had an off day. Also the # you get on a test really doesn’t show how smart you are. No test is going to show what you really know. It's just a way of society to try to control you. Grades aren't everything even though they matter in this world. It's not like you got a bad grade anyway, you tried your best and that’s all that can be asked of you. Don't stress too much about it, you're really getting worked up over nothing. Just think about all the people who got a lower score then you. Just try better for next time. Hope I helped, if you have any more questions just ask :)

aww don't worry! Try on thinking of yourself and not comparring yourself to others. I think its a pretty good score and now your just know what you want to work on. And DEFInitly- do not say your stupid. I don't even like know any of my frinds who would take an SAT and i'm in high school. You have it going well for you, the people who got better than you are robably just saying that to brag, don't listen to them. Be your own person and don't get hungup on those type of things, you'll do better next time! good luck with everything hope i helped

Hiya,
Well...I'm not American so I'm not sure on how good or bad the grades are, but you say 3 people in your grade got 1100 - that makes it sound like most people didn't!! I always think that over half marks is good, over three quarters is excellent, so try judging your marks on that :)
And just because you didn't get the top score doens't mean you're stupid - it just means that that one boy has no life and probably spent the whole of the last year revising :P
If you still think you didn't do so well, then I would put it down to a bad day or just being unlucky with your questions!!
Here are a couple of exam tips for next time anyway -
*When you get stuck, or get a mental block, recite the alphabet. Going through familiar things in your head can help you concentrate :)
*Read the question through lots and break it up until you understand it.
*However tempting it is to cram-revise, don't revise during the half an hour before the exam!! It'll just muddle you and you'll be fine if you've revised enough beforehand anyway :)
Good luck and I promise you you're not stupid!! I know it's hard when you don't get the best results ever, but the main thing is that you tried your best and got a good result, no matter what other people got!
Blessed Be,
Rach xxx
