How did SATs go?

[edvard978]

REALLY REALLY WELL.

i knew like everything on it. there were maybe two, three words i didnt know and a couple sketchy sentences. i used the word 'spizzerinctum' and 'brio' in my essay, which i wrote really well. it was just...soo long. and i finished everything.

[almost_elysian]

Great!!
I don't even know what those words mean, lol

[edvard978]

thats because you dont have hepburn for english

The SATs were so monstrous in the amount of time that they held us there, I just about died from dormancy exhaustion when I got home.

I hated the essay. It was ridiculous.
I felt better about all of it in general as opposed to the old test.

[edvard978]

totally. four hours sucked. but i was sitting by an open window and it was beautiful out today so it was perfect, i had the great breeze. if you've got to take a test like that that's the way to do it.

that essay was so stupid. i used big words so i hope that counts for something.

i never took the old test. did it take this long?

[urbanette]

the old test was long, but not endless, like this one.
I used big words, too. I heard that the essay grader only takes 1 minute to look over your entire paper, so I really pushed the elaborate clauses. If one actually took the time to thoroughly inspect my paper, they would probably get a laugh out of how non-sequitir it gets at times. I thought it was really hard to squeeze a good essay out of that topic in 25 minutes.

[edvard978]

yeah. that essay topic was pretty abstract. i heard the same thing, people said they really only look at your opener. so i put some big words in it.

[surestarshining]

Congratulations! Hope you did/do well!

[edvard978]

me too! i knew a lot that was on it so, here's hoping.

have you taken the new sat?

[surestarshining]

No, and I don't plan to. I'm good with what I've already got.

[edvard978]

What did you get?

[starryellie]

oh man oh man oh man that US History test destroyed me.

this one kid suggested writing our christmas wish-lists for the essays. It was so tempting.

[edvard978]

yeah it was. that dbq was stupid. they gave maybe like one document for a big part of the question and like 7 for another part, and like 2 for another big part, and then a bunch of documents dealing with things that had nothing to do with anything.

[starryellie]

plus i just don't care about that time period. The 20th century and the cold war I'm really good at. Revolutionary War is boring. It was weird how there was practically nothing from the Civil War on the whole exam. I would have expected more questions on that, being as it's far more important than the Mexican War or any of that other useless crap.

[edvard978]

yeah, i definately didnt know anything about the mexican war.
