So I took the sat's this morning. The big changes aren't all that dreadful that people have made it out to be. The essay was really easy, I finished the whole two page thing in just under 25 minutes(alloted time). It usually takes me an hour or two to write that much about a topic.
So, discuss.
I hope I did good, I don't want to take them again if i don't need to. Five hours of testing is way too long.
hehehe they made it five hours now, aw poor you guys <3 The essay section is ridiculous, I think. It was way too long already without it ^_^
We don't take teh sat here.
Everyone takes teh act.
I read this as SARS, and thought PG was back. :/
I'm so glad I'm past that stage of SAT and AP testing. It must suck to be in High School right now. :p
In my high school, we toop the PSAT, then the ACT. Still can't figure that out.
But it was cool, 'cause I was one of the highest scorers in the history of the school for both :D .
My problem with the essay tests is that I don't have enough time to write all the drafts they want me to, so I just write one and hope I don't mess up.
They give us the PSAT's too and the ACT and AP tests are optional.
Yeah, they're constantly giving us standardized tests. I dont know about other states but in CT they have CAPT tests sophmore year where they give us an essay thing in just about every subject math, history, science(comes with a lab project), and english. Like the english teachers don't already shove enough essays in our face.Quote:

SAT = stupid American test. I remember those wasted mornings. I got excellent scores, excellent grades, but the US colleges I applied to wouldn't take me because I'm not sufficiently disadvantaged...
it is a pity...no acceptance
Am I the only one who found the SAT fun?
I didn't find the SATs fun, exactly, but they weren't bad. I was indifferent, for the most part. Now, the ACT and APs sucked.
Anyway, five hours? Holy [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img].
five hours? man that sucks!
Here in the UK we dont have SATs. We have something else, dunno what they're called now, what with the education system being re-vamped all the time.
Anyhoo, i did what i usually do for my exams- the bare minimum, and passed.
:p
I curse you and your family to death... in a fire for the next 5 generations for such a blasphemous statement.Quote:

The SAT was neither bad nor was it fun...somewhat in the middle for me. I didn't score that well on it (only in the 1300's) but it means nothing! Nothing at all. It's really a worthless test.
eh, dont worry about it del
they usualy dont happen anyway :(
I took it because I had to. I don't derive some sort of perverse pleasure from taking standardized tests. Besides, within the Arts, true knowledge of a subject can only be guaranteed through essay writing.
No! Multiple choice tests are the only way to discern true knowledge!

I liked taking the SAT, which is good since I tookl it a few times throughout my school days, but I didn;t have to write an essay back then. I took the GRE last year and it has essays now and I just kinda half-assed my way through the essays because they were dumb.
