Well, today is my SATurday. I took my very first SAT this morning and it was a good experience overall, I think. I'm pretty sure that I did very well on all of the math portions, just because they seemed easy and I'm a "math person." On the reading/English sections, I think that I did well, nothing seemed too hard. I'm not sure how well I did on the essay because the topic was really simple and kind of hard to do an in-depth discussion. (I'm way better at analyzing than opinion or other writing.) So, to make a long story short, the SAT was easier than I expected and I think that I did pretty good on it.
I must say though, they REALLY need to reorganize the way they administer the break time. For those of you unfamiliar with the SAT Reasoning Test, there are 10 sections. The first section is an essay and all of the following portions are either regarding math or English/reading. Well, after the essay section and the first two other sections, they administer a 5 minute break. Then you do 2 more sections followed by another 5 minute break. Then, you end it all with 5 sections, no breaks. I must say that they should either add another break or put the breaks closer to the end of the test. The end of the test is when most people are harried by the fact that it is a 3+ hour test, the stress that this test can "determine your future", the desks are uncomfortable, your brain is tired, and the room is stale and stuffy because of the other 30 students wracking their brains to solve seemingly pointless questions. Personally, the last three sections were the worst for me because I was tired from taking the test, I had to use the bathroom, and from hunching over the stupid desk all day, my back was hurting. How lame right? Well, to say the least, my performance declined I think as the test wore on, mostly because I got to that stage where it is like, "either I do well or I don't, so I don't really feel stressed anymore." Despite these feelings, I must say though that I did my best, just so you don't think that I gave up, wasted my time and wasted my $45.00. :-D
Now I must prepare myself for the ACT on the 25th. YAY! :-/

Glad to hear the test didn't kill you! Come and play with us soon. Will wants to take you on a tour of BYU. :)
By the way, Will wants to know why you have word verification turned on when you have a private blog.
Oh, I didn't realize that I had word verification turned on. I will fix that, thanks for pointing it out. Word verification is just annoying. :-D
I love you! The word verification is gone! Now we need to convice all others that word verification (especially on a private blog) is just annoying!
Don't you mean Dad's $45? :)
Glad you feel confident. Good luck on the ACT
Yes, you're right, it was Dad's $45 dollars, it was just easier to call them mine. :-D Sorry.
