With the PSAT coming up, Juniors everywhere are reminded of their failures to get any studying done this summer. Remember how you “just weren’t in the zone” every time you went to open that giant SAT book you ordered from amazon at the beginning of the summer? Yeah, I’m sure you’re thanking yourself for that magnificent decision.

But no worries, just let someone in the same boat as you create a overly idealistic study plan that you can blindly follow.

1. Find your SAT book. You may have to dig it out of the closet that you conveniently placed it in so you wouldn’t feel that rush of guilt every time you saw the unused book just sitting there – judging you.
2. Take some practice tests! Because Junior year is  famous for constantly having three disposable hours at any given time, you’ll be sure to easily fit this into your schedule.
3. Practice, practice, practice! Thought you were done with homework at two in the morning? Nope, you’re forgetting those thirty SAT practice problems that you circled, underlined, and wrote in all caps across your agenda pages. So just crawl out of bed and think about how great you’ll feel when you wake up with four hours of sleep tomorrow!
4. Don’t stress! Remember, this is the most important test that you will ever take. This will dictate your future. And if you stress out then you will fail, and if fail then you’ll never get into college. So just. Don’t. Stress. Easy!
5. Missing any tips here? Go check out some great educational YouTube videos. It is 100% a good use of your time to sit and watch varying renditions of “How to get a 1600 on the SAT in 5 minutes” for 3 hours. Could you have done a practice test in that time? Sure. But just think of how well you’ll do on the next practice test now that twenty different people have told you basically the same information I’ve iterated here.

Hope this helped! And remember, even if you fail the PSAT, there’s always those sweet PSAT memes to make you feel better about your shortcomings.
