Beckham & the SAT
May 2nd was the birthday of David Beckham, but also it was the day where millions of high school students around the world were waking up in the morning to take one of the most important tests in their lives. On May 2nd I took my SAT test in Houston, in a school that I have never been to. As the teacher passed the booklets, my heart started beating like a rock band’s drum. Throughout the test, I skipped a lot –and I mean A LOT- of questions. The timing was what most bothered me, if only I had more time. Now I don’t want to scare those who didn’t take the test with my negativity, but the SAT is not hard as much as it is confusing. My tutor once told me:” You can never be fully prepared for the SAT, they will always bring something new to you” So my advice to you that you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself, just practice whenever you have free time in your hands. Most importantly, read! Most of the SAT questions that I had trouble with was the vocabulary material questions. I recommend you to read a book that is called “Tooth and Nail” this book is an amusing novel but at the same time it has the SAT vocabulary. One last thing, don’t punish yourself or feel bad about yourself if you didn’t get a good grade, it is a test of “al dunya” what matters is the test of “al akera”
The purpose: I wanted to give my young readers something constructive, and I was bored.
