I'm taking the SAT for the second time this Saturday.
It really isn't all that bad when you think about it. I mean, the essay is pretty easy, basically asking your opinion, and the math is basic algebra, geometry, and common sense questions. The reading is more of a gut-feel-answer kind of thing, and writing questions are pretty much the same as reading. No biggie. I scored 1140 my first time, which people say isn't that bad considering it was my first time, but I want a better score than that. More like in the 1200's.
It's funny because every other day I'll bring my HUGE SAT prep book to school to study and I'm only focusing on the math- I got a 540 in the math so I want to bring it up to a 600- so I'm reading it and I'm like," This is so easy! It's all common sense. How in the world did I get a 540?"
I want to get a minimum of a 600 in math. There are a TON of smart people in cypress and even being just a little bit above average in smarts is not going to do much for me except to scrape the bottom of the admittance door to really good colleges. I'm not a genius and that is totally not fair that it is that much harder for me.
Maybe one day I'll open up my own university for moderately to a little bit above average students. That'll be the day, a triumph!

Yeah, I'm taking it this saturday as well. Only this saturday will be my first time. I usually don't get nervous during tests, but this one will be completely different from any other. This test is not just for a simple grade, it will determine what you will do for the rest of your life (at least for most people). The only thing I dislike is the length of the test. Well anyways, good luck.
ReplyDeleteThe SAT seems really intimidating. I'm usually ok when it comes to testing, but i have to admit that i am one of those people who there mind goes somewhere else. I really need to work on that especially because the SAT takes forever and a day. For your first time i think that your score was pretty good, better than most people anyways. I hope you do, do good because i have read your blog and it looks like you are working extremely hard.
