Is the SAT attractive?

<p>Is it modern-looking? How are the aesthetics of the book itself? If it’s ugly and all Times New Roman-ish, I think I’ll do poorly.</p>

<p>Please describe it. Is it colorful or black-and-white? Is the answer sheet seperate? And, most important of all, am I aloud to use my gorgeous $7 mechanical pencil?</p>

2

<p>It’s a beauty, but it’s a bit too testy for my taste.</p>

3

<p>It’s very…functional looking.</p>

4

<p>No mechanical pencils allowed (killed my test score). The aesthetics didn’t do too well trying to compensate for it either. <em>sigh</em> I expected much more from you CollegeBoard!!! Now if you’re talking 'bout the ACT…</p>

5

<p>is the ACT prettier?</p>

6

<p>I wouldn’t ask it out.</p>

7

<p>Sometimes at night, I stay up in bed thinking about it.</p>

8

<p>Some kids in the SAT forums have the same problem.</p>

9

<p>on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your first impression of the SAT? how about the ACT?</p>

<p>SAT: 3.
It’s black and white. Obviously made of this disgusting paper you might use to wrap a dead cat in. The papers smell like newspapers, and leave a stinky smell on your hands (at least on mine)…</p>

<p>My first crush was the SAT Booklet. I looked at it and I was like, “I love you.” <em>swooning</em> :D:p;)</p>

<p>The SAT is so ugly. It has grayish, disgusting paper… and TIMES NEW ROMAN!!!</p>

<p>The ACT, on the other hand, is hotttttt. I think that it has Times New Roman, too, but it makes it work. Also, taking the ACT is fun. Taking the SAT is hell.</p>

<p>ACT 4eva.</p>

<p>Why can’t you use mechanical pencils???</p>

<p>Most mechanical pencils are #2 anyway. Some people prefer mechanical pencils and it isn’t fair to discriminate against mechanical pencil users.</p>

16

<p>lesos> i have to say that I disagree. I think the SAT was far more… enjoyable (if one can say that about a test) than the ACT.</p>

<p>No, you can’t. Just no. :D</p>

<p>I definitely prefer the SAT over the ACT.
I hated the ACT.</p>

19

<p>You are from IN, and so would the majority of students from your state. (The one non-coastal state that prefers SAT over ACT.)</p>

<p>^so what’s your theory for me?
oh, and it’s B.S. that a school prefers one test over another. It’s just that the majority of students from a certain region tend to take one over the other. No schools in the midwest (say, Grinell… or KU…w/e) is going to see somebody with a 2200 and say, "if this kid had taken the ACT, they’d be in.
“Rejected!”</p>
