i'm home from taking the SAT
Edited on Sat Jun-07-08 02:18 PM by Ava
first of all, that took for EVER, lol. i woke up this morning and everything went well. i got to the testing center and had to wait for about an hour before i could go in and test.. the person with the keys was late. :eyes:

i used the wait time to think positively and chill out. i had put my bob marley CD in the car last night, so i chilled out to that, did some law of attraction stuff, and then went in and took the test.

i really think it went well.. i was surprised at how quickly i breezed through the questions and even had time to check my answer more than once! even the math section(which is what i was worried about) was pretty easy to me, and most of the questions i got were more like puzzles and logic based.

i look forward to getting my score, because i think it went really well. thanks for all the good vibes everyone.. they worked!

3. Call me when you take the LSAT
Don't they let you use calculators on the SAT now?

5. my mom said that i would do great on the LSAT
she and i think almost identically and our ACT scores were the same both in subjects and the composite scores. she took to LSAT and went to alabama and she would have had the highest LSAT score in the history of the law school there had it not been for one guy who got a little bit higher than her who also attended that year. she's purdy smart ;) :thumbsup:

and yeah, they let you use calculators :P

21. I heard it was the other way around. Hmm.
I never bothered, I was lazy and I was only trying to get into a halfway decent school. So my 1330 was good 'nuff. :)

15. That's great, Ava!
Told you you'd do fine. You should listen to me more often! I had confidence in you. When you get the results, let us know, OK?

Khash.

23. Hey, I took it this morning too!
I haven't taken it since 8th grade, with the old SAT, so I was jittery.

Writing and critical reading were a breeze--only like four of those questions total made me seriously think. My essay was nothing spectacular but certainly above-average.

Math was also pretty easy. I felt that frustration that comes with knowing I could have done all of them, if I had more time. I omitted 2 questions and 2 student-produced questions and answered the rest.

:)

27. I just hope my scores are all right.
I tend to vacillate wildly in my thinking until I can't even begin to judge how I did. :D
