It’s basically the same with the ACT too, but the reading/writing sections seem to be a lot less nitpicky compared to the SAT.</p>
<p>
Yeah… I’m thinking about registering for an SAT II math thing on that day instead… Gonna talk to my counselor and see what he thinks. I’ve only talked to maybe 5 times my whole high school career, so I need to make sure he knows who I am too…</p>
<p>Knowledge in Chaos, I like your description of SAT vs. ACT. For me, the SAT format seems to work pretty well. But I know A LOT of people who have done considerably better on the ACT as well. Maybe I will try both. :/</p>
<p>Taking the SAT for the first time this month as well!</p>
<p>And KiC, I totally get what you mean about the counselor thing. Not many people take the PSAT at my school (2 this year, actually) so I took it at another school. When I went to get my results, the first thing she said was, “I didn’t even know you took it!”</p>
<p>Yeah… I remember going to turn in some forms to my counselor for something, and he looked at me and said “so, should I prepare to write some college recs for you later this year?”…</p>
<p>I don’t think most counselors know their kids that well. I’m just hoping that if I drop by my counselor enough times and give him very clear instructions for what I want him to write about, I’ll be able to avoid a rec that’s basically a copy of my extracurriculars list… (According to a conversation that I had with a teacher at my school who was on my school’s NHS board, that’s what most counselors do when they don’t know a student.)</p>
<p>Wow… Have I managed to kill this discussion?</p>
<p><em>Goes back into the shadows of internet</em></p>
<p>Taking my first SAT this month, hoping its a 2350+ one and done.</p>
<p>Uggh, fist day of classes after break was today. Waking up was horrible. On top of that, it was the coldest day we’ve had all season. 37f may not seem that cold to a lot of you, but I was under the impression that I lived in FLORIDA. >:-(</p>
<p>Was below freezing in Jersey today, my track coach decided to continue conducting practice outdoors.</p>
<p>Wah wah</p>
<p>jk…sorta, I’m envious of 37 degree temps being really unusual. </p>
<p>It didn’t seem that bad, they were predicting low teens and some snow, but it took 3x as long to get to school than it normally does. But maybe we can get a snow day tomorrow, the snow keeps coming…</p>
<p>i went running 2 days ago and the wind was super nasty. that’s jersey weather for you, cold and relentless. i felt like throwing up after.</p>
<p>Yeah, I live in Southern NC and EVERYONE was complaining about the weather. It dipped below the 30s for the first time all winter. :eek:</p>
<p>over here,we were in the 18s and 17s</p>
<p>jersey winter weather is not fun. i wish it was 37 here haha thats toasty</p>
<p>haha, we’ve had at least five <0 degree days so far. 
Oh, the wonders of the Northeast.</p>
<p>37 sounds so nice. It’s like… 18 here.</p>
<p>haha it was -8 below today for me. So no complaining haha
omg 37 sounds tropical</p>
<p>Didn’t east coast have a monstrous snowstorm or something???
Jealoussssssss!</p>
<p>lol at currently 51 and 78 tomorrow. XD</p>
<p>hi guys whatchu dooooin</p>
<p>Wow, guys. I’m in Hong Kong and it’s more like 18 CELSIUS here. o__o
We consider 50°F to be really really really cold (the HK Observatory issues a cold weather warning…).</p>
<p>Woke up at 5:30 this morning to go running with my friend and it was actually pretty nice. We decided not to take our usual route because it was too dark, so we ended up running to McDonald’s and pigging out :D</p>
