<p>We should all just calm down, a single test isn’t going to define your life. A couple stupid mistakes here and there are expected.</p>
<p>ahwejfka i missed the dumbest question ever. the stupid wx is greatest. i didn’t think and just chose yz. -_- hoping for a 780 or higher on math. i’m pretty sure i missed three on critical reading. all of them were ones that i changed from the right answer too! D:< so hopefully i can still get a 770 or higher. i’m confident that i didn’t miss any in writing. i would love to see that 2350 when scores come out…</p>
<p>Good, a place for me to vent.
October SAT 2010 was…I don’t even know.
And now I will recount my experience, not that anyone would read my post because I’m assuming it’s going to be relatively long.
So…
Essay, what the heck was that. Creative arts? That’s a little out of the blue isn’t it. I sorta had to think how I could use my pre-planned examples to come up with something. Bleh, hopefully my readers won’t be experts about the topics I talked about. But then again…knowing my luck they probably will be. I’m hoping I won’t get less than a 10, because then I would be miserable. I mean my essay sucked last time and I got a 10…maybe because I used a good vocabulary. This one? I had a nice vocabulary at first and then I just wrote. Whatever. Just whatever.
The rest of writing wasn’t bad. I thought it was really easy, thank gosh I did all those practice tests because I recognized a lot of errors I wouldn’t have recognized before. Yay me…
I just want a 750+ in one section, and Writing is my only hope</p>
<p>Critical reading? Meh… According to the consolidated list on CC I only missed 3. But of course I probably missed more. My predicitions are never accurate. Ha and to think I almost put illicit. Yes, I know that was ‘easy’ but thievery and bribery are soo provocative. It wasn’t the best choice yea, but still it’s reasonable. Plus it was like #2 so I didn’t think they would use such a “big” word for an “easy” question. And the passages? Annoying. But hey I’m not the biggest fan of analyzing literature. Maybe a 700+? Hopefully…</p>
<p>Math. Just ■■■. Honestly I practiced math the most, I wanted that to be my best section. I love math. Well no, I like math. I like it more than the other sections for sure. But then the math section for this test was just weird. And to top it all off Fate had it that I had a math experimental too, more torture. It’s sad, knowing that I worked so hard but I probably missed around 5 and skipped…3? And then some people on here freak out for missing 1 or 2, which I understand is a legitamate reason to freak out but it makes me feel dumb. I don’t even remember what I put…well just for a few questions do I remember. Ugh, I’m an idiot.</p>
<p>So the test was stupid. The SAT is stupid. And please, don’t get onto me for calling it stupid I just call anything I don’t do well at stupid.</p>
<p>But that’s not all folks. Of course there’s more.</p>
<p>17 practice tests. 17. Was it worth it? I guess I have to wait and see don’t I. I’m just disappointed in myself, I felt as if all those hours studying would sorta guarantee me a 2100+, but now I’m not sure. Not sure at all.
And you know what’s worse? Everyone is expecting a 2100+ from me. I hate expectations. Especially when people expect things from you. Yea I’m the smart kid in school, that doesn’t mean that I’ll get the greatest SAT score. But no, people say “O wow your so smart you’ll get a 2100 easily”. Yea, thanks. And then when they ask about my score and I reluctantly give them something lower than they expected they give me a “Good job”. Yea, I know it’s good but not what you expected. </p>
<p>But if by some twist of fate I do get a 2100+ I will be very, very happy. My official SAT practice test resulted in a 1550 (no that’s not Math+CR combined) and if I improved 500+ points I will be so proud in myself. I mean wow…I did it. I improved, I can do a lot with hard work an determination. But if I don’t even break the 2000 mark I will feel like a failure. No. Joke. </p>
<p>So on Oct 28th I finally see if it all paid off. 17 practice tests. Months studying. All for 3.5 hours. All for a college education that I may not even be able to afford…but that’s a vent I’ll save for a different day.</p>
<p>^ Wow, story of my life except with a higher sat score and less practice tests :)</p>
<p>yea people expecting 2300+ from me. idk im still a junior so i have time. i took around 14 practice tests. got one wrong in math so far, one wrong in W but maybe one more becuz i only had one no error and it was the mammal one, and 3 wrong on CR with every single one of them being vocab. wonder what ill score. wonder if i remembered my answers correctly. wonder if consolidated lists were even accurate. who knows.</p>
<p>wondering about the curves the most.
hoping M-medium curve with -1 being a 780 or 790
reading being a nice curve with -4 being a 770 and writing being at least a medium easy curve witha -1 being a 78 or 77. hopefully got a 12 but idk. got creative arts essay. wrote about anthem and the giver and how societies without creative arts failed. wonder about my essay score. filled up both pages so i guess i did okay. put in some vocab. did what i could do. now just time to wait till 28th.</p>
<p>@appleandrice I know what you mean and all bro, but there are more important things than the *<strong><em>ing SAT. You think 10 years from now, your employer’s gonna ask you what you got on a test? No chance. And *</em></strong> those expectations that people put on you. YOU’RE the only person that can establish those expectations. YOURSELF.</p>
<p>lol @appleandrice.
that sounded like a blog entry ;)</p>
