Hard decision, can you guys offer some opinions? Go on camping trip with classmates

or study for SAT? So I have the SAT coming up on December 5th and this Friday I have a camping trip to go to. I go to the camping trip on Friday and arrive home at about maybe 5:00 PM Saturday. I usually spend my Saturday mornings taking SAT practice tests and reviewing the answers for them. I took the SAT on October 10th and my SAT score was a 1940 (a huge increase from my first time score of a 1470 and I want to get at least a 2100 now). So I have a tough decision to make

Either I

1. Stay home and get some good sleep on Friday, wake up early in the morning on Saturday as usual and then do the SAT practice tests. Go over the answers after I am done with the practice test. This will of course help prepare me for the SAT which is about 3 weeks away.

OR

2. Go to the camping trip and enjoy the trip with my friends. I am a senior and I will be graduating so this school year is my last year with them. We will be going on another camping trip in April. Also when we go camping it will be cold so I am a little worried about getting sick.


What should I do? (if you cannot tell me that then tell me the negatives and positives about each decision).
 
Go ahead and go on the trip. Study while you're there if you want. Have some fun. When you come back, get back into studying. No biggie.
Or if you don't want to get sick and don't want to miss one practice test, stay home.
 
I recommend you go on the camping trip. Just be sure to do the practice you usually do Sat am, later in the week, in small bits. It's just as important for your mind to have time to file, sort and store information, as it is to keep pumping information in. You'll get a mental traffic jam if you don't take a break now and then.
