Hey guys I just finished the SAT

they told me not to talk about it.


let's talk about it.

 

That is not even remotely applicable to what I said.

If you're trying to be funny, you're failing.
If you're trying to be sarcastic, you're failing.
If you're trying to do anything other than post memes with the hope of getting a "lol so true" in response, you're failing.


leave, please leave.

 

lol so true

 

I took it again today
it ****ing sucked
waste of time

 

He's trying to make of the fact that it seems like you feel like such a badass for talking about the SAT.

 

People who take it more than once are cray. I mean I understand if you got a **** score the first time and studied more and stuff but... dayum. A lot of schools are looking at ACTs nowadays anyway.

 

So far the only school I've applied to is SAT optional, so basically the only reason I took it is just for. I'll probably get into that school, even though it's not my first choice.

I'll definitely be taking it again though. I didn't prepare for the test at all, so my scores are probably abysmal.

 

I really want to take it :c

 

I think you accidentally a prepositional phrase.

 

It's loads of fun.

 

I didn't prepare at all and I did pretty well so that's no guarantee.

 

That's what I was told.
I'm still pretty confident I did terribly though.

 

You never know haha, I thought I did awful on the ACT and while my science scores were pretty low, my Math & English scores were quite high. I guess it depends on what you've learned so far though, if memory serves the SAT had a lot of geometry and trigonometry, by the time I took it I was in pre-calculus so that was all easy for me (or, at least, I recognized much of it).

 

The majority of the math sections were geometry and things that borrowed principles from geometry. None of it was too hard, however I haven't had geometry in two years so I was lost on a lot of the questions. The English section was really easy, aside from some of the vocabulary. Though I've always been good in English so I wasn't expecting that to be much of a problem.


I probably wont bother with the ACT. I can't stand Science.

 

This. Either I'm a genius, universities have ****** standards, or the tests are a joke. I know that the first time I took the ACT, I simply took it because my high school required it to graduate. I didn't care about my score as long as it was at least the minimum of what I would need to get into the college that I wanted. I didn't study, I didn't pay more attention in class the week leading up to it, I smoked a lot of weed the night before, fell asleep, and woke up just in time to take it. Not to mention that I forgot my calculator. And yet, comparing my scores to my more studious friends, I found its standards to be...well, bull. I took it again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke and something similar happened.
I figured the SAT would be a lot more difficult, but I felt that the pressure on it was more on the atmosphere of "NO TALKING, NO MOVING, NO CHEATING." The atmosphere was serious, but I just felt like I was taking a final for several classes in one day. I thought it was supposed to be something special.

 

Same. I thought it would be hard, so I was disappointed when it was all over.

 

Absolutely, yeah. I never know if I'm just really good at school or if it's something else controlling this test, but doing zero prep work got me an 1800 on my SAT and a 28 on my ACT. Neither are super stellar scores, my essay score on the SAT I knew could be a lot better simply because I wasn't really certain of what they were looking for (which would have been easily fixed by prep work), but all of the schools I've looked at I could easily get into with those scores. Some of the more unrealistic ones I do fall a bit short on (Smith primarily but I've not seriously seriously looked at it), but it's like... idk. haha.

 

I agree. They take their standards for test taking to ridiculous heights. Whenever I would leave the room for a break they would have to check my ticket and ID and examine them as if it were the first time they had seen me. I understand they need to know that it's me, but the person knew I was in the room, they saw me leave, the saw that I had a ticket and ID as I was returning to the room, so the fact that they reexamined the ID and ticket as if for the first time is crazy.
I didn't think the test itself was notably difficult, it was more a matter of exhaustion towards the end that made it a pain to take.
