SAT & ACT - Too Stressfull?

In 2008, 1.5 million students in the U.S. took the SAT. Students begin preparing for these tests months ahead of time. They take prep classes, carry a two-inch thick prep book with them everywhere and even buy electronic SAT prep questions for their iPods. However, come test day, some still feel like they could have done more. The pressure to do well is overwhelming. 100 points could be the difference between getting into a "dream" school or a "safety" school. The stress can put a toll on anyone. Usually, during SAT or ACT week, students stoll around campus stressed and with a dull expression on their faces clearly showing their lack of sleep. The ammount of stress a student can obtain in this time can't be healthy. This, is one of the most severe problems with the SAT & ACT tests.
