I'm being pressured to study by my parents. I've been studying and all it does is confuse the crap out of me. I'm also stressed from trying to do my drivers ed, marching band, school and drama with friends.
What should I do to either study efficiently to get a higher score or tell my parents to give me a little bit of a break because of how stressed I've been?

You cant exactly study for the test.
The best way is to spend your time on it wisely.
Study ways to manage time.
I did really well on ACT (33) and SAT (2250) because I would answer 5 questions on the packet, then bubble them all in.
It gives your brain a bit of a break from answering, and saves time going back and forth constantly.
Try it out.
It would probably be best to work on the other, more important things if that is what you need to do.
You cant read books and do better on the SAT, the questions are just random stuff you learned since you were in first grade.
Dont stress, just manage your time...a watch would be a good asset.
Good luck :)

Okay. First off, I'm sure you will get through all this stress fine. Just this winter, i balanced being drum major, working retail during the busy holiday season, taking 2 AP classes and the rest honors, and still got through it all. Just take some time to yourself. Definitely do not stress yourself out on the SAT. Personally, i believe it is kind of difficult to study for that test. I take my SAT this upcoming Saturday, and i prepared for it by taking a SAT prep class. It really does work, and i would say that is the best way to go. See if your school has a SAT prep class, or if your local community college has one.

The more stressed you are,the worse you'll normally do on the test.Most people I know didn't study a wink for it.I didn't and I hated it either way!Now if there is some area you are struggling in or are rusty on,then you might want to look over it a bit or ask a teacher to explain it to you again.That would probably come in handy.

study math and reading more.
For the science part the answer is always hidden somewhere. If you are goin to guess, guess C. 50 percent of the time it is right. For the english just be careful.
I used this and got a 31

study:
do a bunch of practice tests, time yourself, get an advanced calculator that can solve functions and reduce thinking on your part, study more vocabulary
i did this and my score jumped 150 points
tell ur parents to fudge off:
make sure ur parents are watching when u do this.....study and lay all these papers out in front of you. all of a sudden, throw a fit and lay ur head down and pretend to cry from stress. then they'll feel bad bwahahha
or....just study

Try computer software...and remember you can take it more then once and they keep your highest score from each section.
