Alrighty. So I will take some time (or maybe a lot of time, idk, I always write too much) to ramble on about standardized testing. If you don't know what standardized testing is, then:
Um, where have you been your whole academic life?
You know what it is. Long hours of sitting there and doing nothing but filling in bubbles for things you should have already learned in normal classes. I.e. taking a test you've been studying for but didn't know you were studying for. Writing in your full name, first in little squares (one box per letter!) and then filling in the correct bubbles underneath, along with birthday, grade, ethnicity, gender, and all sorts of other official stuff.
Ring a bell?
If not, this entry may or may not be of help to you, depending on whether you plan to take the tests or not. Either way. :V I'm gonna write about them. What a boring life I live. Writing blog entries on tests, ha. (Well, it was either this or chem homework. It's too early for me to think about balancing chemical equations, so here I am.)
Most of you I guess are probablyyyy high school juniors or sophomores. So you should already know what I'm talking about when I mention the ACT, SAT, or SAT II tests. Mmhmm, fun. I'm a senior myself, so I'm pretty much done with the testing process. While it is against SAT/ACT rules to talk about the test itself to anybody (even other takers of the same test), I will muse a bit on my experiences taking them and maybe you can learn from those yourself! c:
Warning, this is going to be long, I can already tell. OTL
Nobody has to read any of this, but if you do, you can skip sections to what you're interested in. The PSAT, the ACT, the SAT. Or just the tips at the end.
