<p>It’s so nice being a senior during this crap for once…</p>
<p>we got 4 hour late arrival and only have classes for 2 hours…all week…it’s nice to sleep in…good stuff</p>
<p>Do any seniors actually have to go to school while juniors are testing? (sophomores practicing and freshmen learning character building/internet safety)??</p>
<p>Last year, Freshman/Sophmore/Senior were allowed to come in the 2-4 hours late depending on what subject the HSPA was that day.</p>
<p>Now, only seniors get to come in late and freshman and sophmore come in the same regular time but we have to take PSAT and practice HSPA.</p>
<p>I’m taking PSAT in, ohh…20 minutes :D</p>
<p>our school during the HSPA everyone is at school the usual time.</p>
<p>hspas are a joke, the science section was a plain joke seriously…</p>
<p>not for some of the kids in my school…</p>
<p>You should have seen the juniors in my gym class after the test</p>
<p>“What’s ATP?”
“I don’t know, I think it was a trick question and it’s not real”
“No! I researched it and it’s a satellite”
“Oh! That makes sense!”
“Why would they put that on the biology part?”
Finally someone was like “It’s freaking energy for Christ’s sake!” I wanted to amaze them by telling them that it was adenosine triphosphate…I would have been a god to them…</p>
<p>So boring. I finish ~20 min early and just twiddle my thumbs.</p>
<p>haha I’m a sophomore, and since half the desks in the school are being used for testing purposes, we have folding chairs set up in classrooms, which means we end up watching movies in class. :)</p>
<p>I’m a senior and HSPA testing is like a week sent from GOD. I did have full day today, which was a waste of time- they herded my whole class into the auditorium, where we watched a movie and then listened to a presentation on drunk driving. And then we went to a couple class periods (where we did nothing) and then went home.</p>
<p>Tommorow is a half day- we just have to sit in the auditorium and amuse ourselves until they free us. And Wednesday and Thursday we have off. Yippee, I’m going up to the Poconoes on Wednesday to get some last minute skiing in. XD</p>
<p>Thank god for HSPAs.</p>
<p>ahaha.</p>
<p>i’m a junior and had to take it. biggest waste of my life ever.</p>
<p>everyone had to arrive at school on time, and for once, my school took this “security” shazam seriously.</p>
<p>hahaha math today. the security was “bad”, cell phones were going off like crazy lol. man this is a joke, speds should be taking this stuff.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think it is a bit of a joke. A friend of mine said today that one of the math questions was “If you roll two dice, what is the probability that you will get a sum of one?”. </p>
<p>Wooooow.</p>
<p>er. . . what are HSPAs? Do they have them in New York? Are they like Regents?</p>
<p>Yeah, they’re pretty much the regent tests. Probably easier, it’s such a joke.</p>
<p>Our school does nothing like that. We still have class and such. ;(</p>
<p>probably? definitely.</p>
<p>jersey, represent!</p>
<p>lol im taking HSPA now and i wish the SATS were as easy as this…we get to leave at 12 20 but the seniors get to stay in the auditorium and watch movies or play games =/</p>
<p>We have to be there ALL day. It sucks. Today was pretty much the last straw for seniors. The roads were really bad bc of snow, but they didn’t have a delay becuase of the HSPA. Tomorrow will probably be an unofficial skip day</p>
<p>Haha…I took them last year. They are a joke. I though the science section was hard b/c I’m a chem/physics person not a bio/geo person.</p>
<p>I came into school today late…it was great.</p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>question: how many of you killed off the grandparents?</p>
<p>HA!!! YEAH, I heard everyone killed off the grandparents. what did you make of that half-naked guy??? colored pictures rock.</p>
<p>Well, we all sat in a group and argued afterwards of whether he was Latino or black (definitely Latino). And then everyone made fun of me for cursing in the essay. I mean, I wasn’t taking this test seriously, and honestly, they didn’t specify that profanity was banned or anything, so I went with it.</p>
<p>I’m a sophmore and the state doesn’t allow us to come in late anymore. So I was taking the Practice HSPA…</p>
<p>My answers for on of the open ended questions were</p>
<p>-Yes
-No
-Sometimes if he wanted to</p>
<p>LOL</p>
