Well, that day has finally arrived, and I'm sad to say that my score got one point worse. It's disheartening news, however, I really did do my best. I took a professional prep course ($849), did all the homework for it, never missed a day, and seemed to be doing pretty well in the classes. I was not even nervous or anxious about the test, for the prep course boosted my confidence from when I took it in October.
Although this was a disappointment, I still have not lost hope, and I won't give up. It's not in my nature. I'm already thinking of a contingency plan...
In the meantime, I will be conducting research on why people, especially some people of color, in my category (high GPA, low standardized test scores) do so poorly on these types of tests. I'm really interested in seeing what scholars have to say about it because I've always bombed these tests.
