Are you feeling the stress?
According to a recent National Public Radio segment titled School, Study, SATs: No wonder Teens Are Stressed if you are feeling overstressed and overscheduled you are not alone. The highly competitive college admissions process is increasingly taking its toll on teenagers preparing for college.
According to NPR, "To help teenagers cope, the American Academy of Pediatrics is launching a new Web site where teens can go and design their own stress-reduction plans, described by the doctors as a "prescription for balance."
If you are feeling the pressure of academic and extra-curricular demands of your life, here are the steps the site recommends for reducing your stress:
Point 1: Figure out what the problem is and make it manageable.
Point 2: Avoid things that bring you down.
Point 3: Let some things go.
Knowing how to successfully manage and reduce the stress in your life is an important skill. The pressures of high school and college admissions will eventually end. College studies, work, family, and the bumps and tumbles of life will introduce new pressures. Learning the skills you need to manage stress now will help you for years to come.

In the final days before the big test, you may begin to feel anxious about the things you don't know and you may be tempted to start cramming. Although it may seem like a good idea, last-minute cramming can negatively impact your performance - causing unnecessary stress and a false sense of confidence. Instead of worrying about what you don't know, focus on feeling confident about all you DO know. You've worked hard to prepare, so relax and give your mind some time to digest everything you've learned.

People who made the most of their Boston Test Prep course
"I enjoy the simplicity of being able to easily access all of my study materials online and from any location. The content is clear and concise and easy to understand and digest. The audio track is helpful if I cannot correctly read a passage. The program is also available at any time and is fully functional which is also a major plus. Funny side comments too :-D I must say that the program is visually attractive and that helps a lot. No one wants to see dull and atrocious textbooks all day and believe me I have spent many a long and waning day pouring over SAT books and studying for the SAT online is much more-well, fun." -Jivan, BTP Student"I live in Georgia (the country) where the SAT is not well known. I decided to prepare for it so I could continue my higher education in the US. Since the SAT in my country isn't required for getting into college, it is a challenge to prepare for it while still being competitive with students studying in the US. After unsuccessfully searching for SAT tutors in Georgia I decided to continue my search online. Fortunately, I found Boston Test Prep Online SAT Program. I have gone through many online preparations, but this is the best by far because of your approach.
I love the Boston Test Prep Online SAT Program because it is smart. I first took a Pre Test which indicated my current skills. This is great because one can check his improvements after some time. The best thing about Boston Test Prep are the lessons. I have seen a lot of SAT prep courses, some online some not, but in most of them there were just tests. One couldn't really improve his knowledge. Using BTP I had access to every sub topic of the SAT, including explanations for everything. For example, I always thought functions were difficult, but after using the Boston Test Prep Online SAT lessons i found them very easy. The lessons have a special approach to the topic. They explain difficult things in a way that's easy to understand--I love it!
The writing section of the online review is great! I found some very useful tips and tricks and also useful essay writing lessons. I've always wondered how an online test preparation program could cover the writing part of the test. Now after using the Boston Test Prep Online SAT Program for several days I believe it's possible." -Nick, BTP Student
