SAT scores

I went to check my SAT scores for the test I took on December 1st, and OH MY GOSH WHAT THE FUDGE, A TWENTY-TWO-TEN. I was in disbelief for about five minutes. I seriously didn’t expect to do so well. I got an 800 in the writing section, even though I didn’t get all the multiple choice right (Apparently I got a writing multiple choice score of 72 out of 80). I never thought I’d get a 12 (out of 12) on my essay, especially since I didn’t even have time to write a conclusion on the test.

Got a 760 on the math, and a 650 on the critical reading. I’m pretty sure the vocabulary (that I did not memorize at all) was what messed me up, but I still got an awesome score. I mean, I kinda expected around a 1900, but seriously, a 2210? wtfzszfzsf. That’s just crazy. Very unexpected. Well, I’m not much of a “HEY WHAT’D YOU GET? OH THAT’S NICE, I GOT A SCORE OF ____” kind of person, so I probably won’t be showing it off or anything. Except to everyone who comes to this site, of course. BUT SERIOUSLY WTF THAT’S JUST CRAZY. If I ever see that SAT prep instructor guy again, I’ll be all “THANKS DUDE, YOU OWN.”

SATs are over!

I finished taking the SATs a few hours ago, and I think it went pretty well. It seemed a bit too easy, though… all the things we went over in the prep class and all those practice tests we took seemed so much harder in comparison. It was supposed to start at like 7:45am, but I got there about fifteen minutes early, and we ended up starting at 8:30 anyway.

In the first section, the instructor lady didn’t tell us when we had five minutes left, so I didn’t get to finish the conclusion for the essay. I don’t think I did that well on the sentence completion parts, because I don’t really know that many SAT words. But that’s only a small part of the reading section, so I guess that’s okay.

We were taught in SAT prep that questions 17 to 20 for the math section would be the hard questions, but the easiness of those questions surprised me. I’ve improved a lot on the grammar sections, because now I can easily identify errors and stuff like that. Yeah… I guess that’s it. I’ll be getting my scores on the 29th! I’m just glad all this SAT stuff is over.

In other news, I don’t really have an idea for a flash to make this week, but if I get one, I’ll try to start on it. And today is the first day of December! Woooooo!

SATs and whatnot

I don’t really have much time to do stuff today. Got home from my last SAT prep class a few hours ago. I got a 2040 on my last practice SAT (even though it seemed like the hardest one I’ve taken), which is awesome. That’s like… a 200 point increase from the last one! Yay! I’ll be taking the actual SAT tomorrow, so I’ll be reviewing stuff now. Hopefully, I can get around the same score as I did on that practice test.

Took a four hour practice SAT today. Got home at 8:15. Bleh. If you’re wondering, the flash goes on forever.

Editorials

I really hate homework assignments that involve your real-life interests. We’re supposed to write an editorial about something “that I am passionate about”, but the only things I can think of would probably sound really stupid. And since when am I passionate about anything? Not that often, actually. Unless it comes to making flashes, but it’s not like I’m going to write an editorial about flash-making (Flash-making… like, what’s the deal with that?). I won’t be working on a daily flash today unless I can write three paragraphs about something (Coincidentally, this blog post is three “paragraphs” long), which may actually take me awhile because I don’t really care much about anything that would sound interesting for an editorial.

In other news, SAT prep went by pretty quickly, actually. It’s probably because we took two drills (math and reading), which took up about an hour combined. In the end, the instructor ended up teaching us how to read Korean, and I actually learned quite a bit. I never knew that the different parts of Korean characters had specific pronunciations.

The thing is, the instructor is not Korean, he’s a white guy from Seattle. He’s a really interesting person, who has done and seen a lot of interesting things, and always has these really neat and funny stories to tell. When the SATs are over, most of this knowledge about what to do on the test will become useless (unless I’m not satisfied with my grade and I decide to take it again), but these stories will be what I get out of this course in the end. Good times… good times. We have like one more week left, and then I’ll be taking the SATs on December 1st.
