The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Pfft, I took the SAT before the essay was added and got a 1030 on it. I didn't give a shit. I got a 24 on the ACT, which is the equivalent to something in the 1200s when I took the SAT. The ACT was far better at testing the application of what you've learned to that point anyway.

Off to Easter lunch now.

Than tomorrow I am off to San Francisco.

dont feel sorry for me. i wasnt exactly interested in the test, or getting into a good college. i didnt study or anything. actually, the only reason i took it was because my friends were taking it the same day. we hung out during the breaks.

but i didnt exactly need a good SAT score and a good college degree to do what i wanted. i made it into the intel career field without all that.

i guess im just that damn awesome. or good scores =/= being smart
~gR~

Yeah...tbh the questions felt vaguely demeaning to my intelligence. Not at all a good indicator of intelligence.



Which isn't to say that I'm not a genius.

Good job. I am planning on doing my SAT exam this summer.

You take it in Lebanon?

Yeah. I would have taken the ACT, but I did well on the SAT, so...

WeAreInFlames if you take some SAT2s or some AP courses you should have no trouble getting into University of Toronto, or whole lot of other schools for that matter

 

[waif]

Taking AP history. Soon gonna start worrying about Science SAT2s...I suck at science.

Most schools require ACT and SAT

 

[waif]

None do, actually...most require one.

 

[The Ozzman]

None do, actually...most require one.

That's how it was when I took them anyway.

 

[waif]

Nobody requires both the SAT and the ACT. That would be ridiculous and redundant. Most schools require one of them. Most accept the ACT, some require the SAT. Some require neither. None require both.

 

[The Ozzman]

None require both.

Sure about that?

I don't know myself, but it wouldn't surprise me if some did require both.

 

[waif]

Yes, I'm quite sure. Nobody requires both.

 

[rms]

I think the ACT was given more credit than SAT's and our school pushed that we should take both. idk maybe it's because NY has a higher standard than most states or something

 

[waif]

Almost no one has higher standards than Brookline...

 

[rms]

Counties don't mean shit since they have to go through the state for the reagent exams or whatever you take in MA.

 

[waif]

Yeah. But the emphasis they give to shit makes a difference. Also, Massachusetts in general has high standards.

listening to Pyramaze with Matt Barlow, he is such a meh singer.
a couple high screams and the rest is midrange crap.

Just did a bunch of Greek History reading and now I am installing Rise of Nations on my computer

 

[waif]

Good game.
I just found out that I beat my other friend by 80 points on the SAT. Just one more, and I'll be the champ! He hasn't taken it yet, though...I'll have to wait.

Came back from Connecticut. I saw some friends and cousins. One of my friends that I've known since first grade turned into a druggy.

 

[waif]

Odd choice. Did you perhaps mean
