<p>Life goes on. Don’t dwell on one thing too much. It is not worth it. Yolo.</p>
<p>But if you were me, in MY position. What would you do? & how would you react to this? & react to your classmates, thinking you’re “smart” when ur score was lower than them?</p>
<p>Meh. I don’t really care if people see me as smart or not. I rather be known as a guy with a good personality and full of happiness. I don’t want to be pessimistic and negative all of the time. Life isn’t just about one little thing. Can’t spend your life worrying and wishing you could have done better on one test. Life is just too short.</p>
<p>I guess youre right. Well my dream school, UC Berkeley, is now far from my reach. I should just live my life like a normal teenager & be an average student and who the heck cares if I’m smart or not… Life is not measured by the ability of someone’s intellegence, but rather the ability to learn how to accept yourself and be happy. Im going to live my life & lower my standards. I still would like to go to UCI though. That’s my back up plan if things don’t work out. Thanks dude :]</p>
<p>Who says UC berkeley is out of your reach? The CAHSEE isn’t even going on your application. All that matters is your GPA+ACT/SAT+ECs+Recommendations. You can’t live life with regrets thinking, “I wish I did this or that…” Life is just a game we play filled with twist and turns. You just have to figure out what to do when your approached by a conflict.</p>
<p>We all have bad testing days. I took a practice SAT Subject Test in Lit today and got a 720, but when I took another one later I got a 610. But that doesn’t mean I’m stupid or bad at literature.</p>
<p>As for you, you say you knew the meaning of the words and thought the test was easy. Maybe you misbubbled in an entire section (I don’t know how these things work…). My understanding is that if you understood the material on the test, you aren’t stupid; you knew exactly what it was that you were tested on, even if you got a low score for some reason. Don’t judge yourself by your score, and certainly don’t shoot yourself. It doesn’t make you any less of a person if you get a lower score. Some people are getting by with 1100 SATs and they are perfectly happy.</p>
<p>Aww look at this freshman :] You have very profound feelings, you know that right? But unfortunately my last year PSAT was 130 & my SAT was 1800. So yes, I have to face the fact that UCB is out of my reach. The only thing that is good right now is my GPA, which is 4.2 & my CST, but they don’t even look at that XD</p>
<p>@ aerobug
Maybe you’re right 
But I have a question, since u mentioned… I was right about the “tongue… Blah blah blah unwrap” is an imagery, I’m sure right?</p>
<p>& @ aerobug
I don’t knw if u read that post where I stated about my bubble issue during the test…</p>
<p>It’s not imagery. It’s a literary device.</p>
<p>It’s not literary device cause literary device is when an author uses to it create some sort of “tone”</p>
<p>Btw I totally made the question up… I don’t remember what was on the CAHSEE xD l</p>
<p>you ‘totally made the question up’? huh? whats that supposed to mean?</p>
<p>Haha no you got it all wrong. This is a total misunderstanding XD. That was meant for my post on pg 5 of this thread. I didn’t mean this that thread is “made up”</p>
<p>That would be weird…</p>
<p>yeah right. it would have been absolutely ridiculous if that had been the case. more so since you kept on screaming for us to take this thread seriously.</p>
<p>That’s cause everyone thought I was “trolling” & what not. </p>
<p>Okay CASE CLOSE hah DON’T POST ON THIS THREAD ANYMORE!!! IT’S DONE & OVER WITH! I DON’T EVER WANT TO MENTION THE CAHSEE EVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE!</p>
<p>Wow, i’ll admit you had me going with this ■■■■■. 9/10 Not bad OP.</p>
<p>(that should be enough motivation for you to waste your time bumping this thread for a few weeks)</p>
<p>ok i didnt think this thread was ■■■■■. i only suspected 'cause you mentioned it yourself. but i see it was a misunderstanding.
to answer your original question, just stop worrying. and i’m sure you arent ‘dumb’. everyone has a bad hair day. especially me, i have it about once every week. i’m not boasting, but people do think that i’m smart &, lets say, have an intelligence above the average person’s. and fyi, i’ve got below-average marks in a hell lot of tests. its not that i didnt know the stuff. rather i made a lot of mistakes due to my carelessness. so do my friends think i’m dumb? definitely no.
trust me, your friends wont lose respect for you or think you are ‘less smart’ just because you got low scores in a test. and if they do, they arent worth your time. intelligence can never be represented with a bunch of silly numbers.
so my advice- RELAX.</p>
<p>@akashdip</p>
<p>Your posts is the BEST advice & reply given :] I was talking to my friends about this… & they said “Maybe you had a bad day” or “You probably over analyzed cause you’re one of the smartest I know & that’s just ridiculous” things like that make me feel way much better. Thank you & I knw I said I won’t reply anymore BUT your post was the so great that I needed to mention it. Your post is the the only one that makes me willing to forget about it & just move on… </p>
<p>Thank you for that :]</p>
<p>I thought I got over this…but up until this day, it still haunts me. People still make fun of me because of it. They’re always saying “You’re so smart” ← with sarcasm & “Do you know how to speak -___-?” or " are you sure it’s right?, I’ll check with the teacher." I feel like crying every timethey mention stuff like this to me. They don’t know how much it’s killing me inside. No one understands… </p>
<p>I think I care about what people think of me way too much. I wish I didn’t make dumb mistakes so I wouldn’t regret it.</p>
<p>lol, 2/10, lol</p>
