Feed as in Feed by M.T.Anderson (but I think you knew what I meant... )

Well, good luck.
I know what you mean by the writing section... but I really think the MCQs are so much easier than the essay. (I usually get all of them right but score an 8 on my essay which brings me down to a 730... which sucks major marshmallows).

I can't wait either.
I really want to know my scores.

No, I don't know that book. Is it a school-curriculum book or more like a pleasure reading? Fahrenheit was from last year...one of the few books I read for school that were actually enjoyable, which is probably why I remembered it...

The MC throws me off all the time because they have such weird sentence structure sometimes, so even if they're technically correct, I want to say that they're wrong. I think I got a -2 on the PSAT writing, and that was because I marked a sentence wrong for being in the passive voice...and then later discovered that it was actually No Error!!! Argghh!

Like I said before though, this was my first SAT, so any guess I make for myself is probably not accurate. Do you know if collegeboard posts scores exactly at midnight May 22 or if I have to wait till I get home from school or something?

8:00 EST.....May 22...Thursday...YES! That's my study hall! Which means I can go use the computer hooray!

Although, if I did really bad, it might not be a good thing to get hit right in the morning =(

I would've done the same thing if you hadn't told me...I can imagine myself sitting, red-eyed, constantly hitting 'refresh' every 10 seconds lol

F5... yes, that was me. In fact, I even had my dad's laptop in my lap to see if they put it there first... (which is a really stupid notion ... but at that time, I didn't care...)

LOL.

Well, don't be too excited... (prepare your mind for the worst during these 2 weeks b/c it sucks if the score is much lower than you wanted it to be AND you've been waiting the whole morning/night for it).

Eeeek, that's true =(
I think I'm going to stop reading the discussions because I already have like 3 wrong in the math and 4 in CR.
Wow, I didn't know F5 was refresh. The things you learn while waiting for SAT scores.... =)
