^Woah a huge rant there beeish haha jk I have to say that Maths II curve was quite lenient for me I left 3 questions blank because I couldnt be bothered to do all the algrebra and still got 800 and 'm pretty sure I did sume stupid mistakes along the way.

AND OMG MY TURN TO RANT: I realised that you can start registering for oct/nov SATs a week ago and went to sign up just then AND OMG the sydney centre's listening seats are FULL!! Omg now if I want to do my language lang test I've to go adelaide, brisbane or hobart!! I'm feeling so sad and stupid now and now I'm considering the lit test even though I suck at reading poems etc

And to cheer me up, did anyone do physics SAT II and can rec a good review book for me since i need to self-study parts of it?

beeish

PRINCETON REVIEW! Used them for my chem (didn't take physics) but highly recommend them

and @Aininor I sooo hate you that is NOT fair! I got like 760 not that I exactly studied that hard... took it a week before my HSC

st.g.i.dragons

hi5 aininor! i left 3 questions as well and still got 800!

i didnt do any science so dont ask me

Aininor

^@dragons: then did you happen to do the literature SAT? If so, how did you prepare for it?

st.g.i.dragons

haha dont ask me about the literature. i did it and only decided to do it on that day. therefore i did not prepare for it at all. not a good option.
id definitely recommend finding a source of questions on the net or something at least.

Whoa, this thread exploded.

Aininor, I think sparknotes is good enough for Physics to be honest. The concepts are quite straight-forward and if you've done Physics in school, there's nothing new. Heck, sparknotes went into *too* much detail even.

But yeah, I don't believe you need to find a book for it, just abuse sparknotes. =) I did, and I did well enough in my SAT Physics.

With beeish in full rant mode, this thread is alive and kicking. Keep up the good work, folks! And don't worry about the SAT too much, coz you boys and girls will be able to abuse - to borrow a word from Shoyz - the SAT Score Choice. Happy SATting!!

beeish

I don't rant, I just ramble, there IS a difference :P besides I wasn't the one who "exploded" this thread, I just often give my two cents, or in most cases, my like 10 dollars!

OMG I found the CUTEST cafe today! Just for everyone's information. Sat there and did my French revision for my placement test (placement test bleugh) but they made goooood mocha

st.g.i.dragons

i dont drink coffee

theGame

I drink Mocha. Why? Because it sounds cool and apparently has more goodies in it than plain old cappuccino

theGame

Pardon me, but how can a cafe be "cute"? You're not guiding prospective SATers with your English here, are you?

natalle

Perhaps she is referring to a cafe with pink walls and teddy bears? =P

theGame

..so you've been there too? Two of a kind

beeish

it was nice okay nice. And quaint there you go. I did my SATs I don't have to do them again ergo I can use whatever sucky vocab I want. I used superfluous and hyperbolic in my college essays therefore I used my SAT vocab for some good use and now I can forget it

Shoyz

HA! SAT Vocab. Perhaps one of the most useless things you'll ever need to know.
