PSAT Stress

So we have the PSAT/NMS... ,it goes on forever, next week. The administration handed out these booklets that tell us about the scholarships involved with the test, how to answer the questions, what will be on it, and then a practice test. I read the booklet and now am in the process of doing the practice test. These tests are supposed to help, right? But they just discourage. I did not need a reminder before I take a big, stupid test that I am bad at these standardized Math questions. I am good at math, I am ahead in math, i get good grades in math. These tests show that i can't do math well. I do some math well...most math well. But everyone at those stupid PSAT and scholarship places will think that I'm bad at it. It's very frustrating. I don't understand why I can't do these kind of math tests, I do fine on the English sections. I am better at English than i am at Math anyways---but I'm certainly not as bad at math as those tests make me seem like i am! And the really dumb part of it is that there's only math and english sections. So these tests don't really care about the important things that make a major difference in college--they just want to see if you can understand passages and if you know how to get the average of a set of numbers.
Well, i really shouldn't complain because there are people who can't do any of the test well. I feel really bad for them.
