ahhhh... i have to take them on saturday! *cries*
and i'm still a lil sick... lol, this should be fun. 3 hours of sitting there, going crazy cause i dont wanna cough or blow my nose and disturb everyone, while trying to concentrate on the test that controls which college i get into!
and i think the SAT people are evil... the next test date after this one is on November 1st!!! the day after halloween! that sucks! and i wanted to hang out with friends till late, but since im taking them again then, i cant!
-
The whole goal of the college board is to screw students over...
-
don't they have them in may again too?
-
I'm so lame, I enjoyed taking the SAT'S. :D
-
I have psats next weekend
fun fun..
although I already tooook them last year :X
-
egh, holly, i feel your pain. i already took the SAT's, got a crap score in math (which brought my score waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down), spent the last three months getting tutored in math, and i still dont' think i'm going to do very well. :( however, the SAT's aren't the only thing that determine whether or not you get in. At all the college's i've visited, they all said that your SAT's weren't everything, they looked at the things that you've done, the person you are, etc. don't worry, i'm sure you'll do awesome :)
-

that's nice, but I really haven't done much :cry:

my PSATS are next week..homecoming weekend..how horrible
lol so i'm unintelligent and dateless..sounds like its gonna be a fun weekend =)
luv you guys
<3 mells <3
<3 especially for my joey <3
-
aw how sweet...
does honors classes count as "doing stuff" cuz I am so school spirited :? .
-
yeah, honors classes look really good. colleges would rather see you take an honors class or an AP class and get an 85 than take easy classes and get a 100
-
hmmm what should i do that would interest a college?
I don't like regular sports...and When tennis starts i'll be busy....and I quited golf, cuz I hated it.

Yeah, everything she said. "sept my PSATs aren't on a weekend. They're on a Tuesday. Which is weird, 'cause I thought everyone took them the same day.
Yay! I sooo got that 85 in Honors Classes thing working for me. lol

The Big Brother Big Sister program is a good one to join, and so is (what we call)"Service Learning" (basically just volunteering). Clubs and/or organizations like SADD, Key Club, and TAP are good to join too.
-
Yay! (P)SATs. Yay? I don't know. I really wouldn't know, but I hope you all have foon. Yes, foon. I always cough during tests. It's like this disease I have. Kind of like when it's funnier when you're supposed to be quiet or when someone tells you to stop laughing. Like that. Kind of.
I don't like regular sports...and When tennis starts i'll be busy....and I quited golf, cuz I hated it.
I tried golf once. And that's 'cause my Dad made me. It was awful. I kept hitting it AT people or in the random bodies of water they have. I lost, I think, probably 6 or 7 golf balls.
-
don't they have them in may again too?
yeah... they have them on May 1st... but by then i should know where i'm going to college
-
hmmm...my school is havin the PSATs but i really dont see the point in em...im takin mine in the spring :? Anyway...GOOD LUCK!!!

the psats are just for practice... i guess just to give you a feel for what the sats will be like and give you an idea on what you might get when you do take the sats. i had to take the psats 3 times! my school made us take them in 9th, 10th and 11th grade... we'd take them in the morning at school and then have classes in the afternoon. but this year us seniors get to sleep in instead of going to school and we only have to show up for afternoon classes.
-
lol...well thanks for the info. Lucky for me, our skool doesnt make us do the PSATs...u hafta pay for em...and tek em early on a Saturday morning...no thanx...lol...once again, good luck.
-
thanks! good luck on the psats too!

certain scholarships also require the PSAT's be taken during your junior year.... at least that is what they told me.
-
A good score on the PSATs will qualify you to be a National Merit Scholar. ;)

...I took the SAT when I was 15 and got an 1130. (650-V 480-M)
I would have had higher, but I didnt have my calculator, plus I hadn't done any practice. :?
I guess I should take them again, but can you do that now that you're out of high school?

thats about what i got on the psats when i was 15 too! but i didnt take the sats till i was 17
i dont know if you can... but if you're done with highschool why would u want to? unless you want to apply for college... then i think you can
-

sure, they'll still let you take the SAT - it'll set you back $30 or whatever they charge though.

I HATE standardized tests. l LOATHE and DETEST them with a passion beyond all passions. They are simply EVIL, and the GRE is the worst of all. I did pretty well on the sat.....but this is just.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I HAAAAATE THE GRE!!

It's a grad school admissions test put out by the same people who put out the SAT. Apparently, they are pretty similar.
-
oh! thanks Will!
-
Apparently, they are pretty similar.
yes similar, except that the gre is like 1000000 times more evil b/c
1.its on a computer that times everything to the second
2 you cannot use a calculator
3 you can't skip questions and go back later, you have to answer everything and you only see one question at a time.
4 every time you get a question right the next one is harder and everytime you get one wrong the next is easier (ok...punish me for actually getting stuff right...thanks)
5. Its just EVIL
The test is designed to make people like me who have standardized math problems to beging with, fail miserably. Its unfair and completely EVIL
grrr I am still so pissed off about this test I have been up since 6:30am.
-
No calc and it's adaptive? At least it's adaptive, which means it's a shorter test. I would blow it without my calc. All I would need was a simple four function + exponentiation one.

awww... sorry i'm late! when did you take it? did you get ur scores back, or are you just saying that?
-
I'm not sure if she wants me posting her score or not, but she got it back immediately (it was a computerized test) and she bombed math, while getting a pretty respectible verbal.
If she wants to post her score, she can.
-
if she wants to post her score she can
yea there will be none of that but if you reaaally wanna know how stupid I am all ya gotta do is click the link to my journal. Be forewarned..I am extremely stupid, and extremely insane.
-

oh and did anyone take the ACT's?

*covers eyes*
:cry:

*covers eyes*
aww, i bet you didnt do THAT bad...
jw, but isnt there an essay section or something silly like that, that was added to the sat? or were they just talking about doing that?
-

Well yeah, see my PSAT was sorta a waste becuase they change the PSAT next year and the SAT the year after . . .*read* the two years I take it
-
SAT's can blow me.... i got a 1090... and i wanted an 1100 because the college i wanna go to you can get mucho scholarships if you get an 1100. DAMN IT ALL
-
*covers eyes*
aww, i bet you didnt do THAT bad...
jw, but isnt there an essay section or something silly like that, that was added to the sat? or were they just talking about doing that?
yeah, they're getting rid of some of the english questions and adding an essay, and taking away some of the math questions and added a different style question....it was in Time magazine a few months ago i think....seems kind of ridiculous to me *shrugs*
-
Oh man.. I should be getting PSAT results any day now..
hmmm.

It is! 'Cause I know I'd do much better on the current stlye. The one I got results in. hehehe Not amazing but . .. pretty good.

I wish they would change the GRE.....like, LET US USE A CALCULATOR! :evil:

i think they are getting rid of the analogies... which is what i did best in when i took the sat. i needed to get a 1200 for scholarshippy stuff, and i only got a 1110... but i only took it once and never studied. i had no idea what the heck i was doing. i was told that i HAD to take the SAT before I left for Brazil, and they told me I could take it at about 5pm the day before the SAT would be... so I had no time to do anything. I don't even think I skipped questions because I didn't know you could. Aaaah
-

haha my soc/psych teacher was complaining about that today.....does NOT sound fun. hopefully they'll change it before i have to take it, i need a calculator!!
-
Okay - NOT SATs, but Entrance Exam Sat'raday morning. :X :X :X So, like, I don't want to go! But, it's all good 'cause there's apparently a lot fewer questions and such in Math than I thought. But who knows. I'm a dumbass, we all know it, so they might as well just put me in remedial classes without a test. :D
-
i got an 1190 on my last one!
i know its not the best... but o well, its not like the schools i'm trying to go to ask for much more than that anyways! so i'm happy with it!
i'm just glad i'm done and never have to do SAT's again, lol
