What year are you?

youre taking the sats on saturday.

I'm taking my SAT's next month, personally.

Senior Year. Just taking some Subject Tests (Literature and US History) because the application for Delaware's Honors program "recommended" them. If I do well, awesome; if not for some reason, my main SAT is already taken care of, so I'll just do without the subject tests.

And 1234turtles, yeah. They tend to be on Saturday mornings, or, at least the tests near me.

God that test was so dull.

It felt easier the second time though, they omitted retarded essays about reality TV and retarded stories about Persian rug makers, if you remember the last SAT at all.

Taking my test on December 3rd. First time ever pretty scared about it.

Oh God, I do. I guess they were trying to be "hip" and "relevant", but Jesus Christ, that just hurt. At least the Subject Tests were just multiple choice questions.

And now I am done with the SATs forever, unless I wake up to find that I am trapped in a Groundhog Day-style time loop, in which case, I'm boned.

And like I said, they aren't as horrible as you might think. They are annoying, and eat up a lot of time, but the PSATs make it out to be much, much worse.

Just study, take a prep course (often times the course itself doesn't help too much, but the textbooks they provide can be invaluable), and focus and you should do fine. And if you don't? Just take another one, and colleges will only look at your best scores.

It's not particularly hard, it's just really dull. Roughly 4 hours of testing. You just need to brush up on your vocab, some basic math, and common logic. At most, problems are meant to be time consuming, not hard. The test is more of a judgment of your testing skills than your math and English ones, it seems.

Huh. Never woulda' guessed that Guild was only a year above me.

Huh.

I'm a senior in high school. I took my first SAT as a junior, figured I may as well do another one.

Would you think it would be hard to at least get 550 for the Reading part and 580 for the math?

Well I always assumed that you were in college.

I'm a Junior, just thought I'd throw that out there.

*lesson about not making assumptions about people*

I never took the SAT just the ACT and now I have to prepare for the GRE.
