S.A.T. = Suck Ass Test.
Although everyone says that the S.A.T.s are easy...They're not. It made me feel like that once I walked out of the Media center at a foreign high school called Osceola, I felt like I had officially failed at life...and potentially, soon at death. Now if you fail at reincarnation, that's an EPIC fail.
Granted, I know that I can take them over again....but after sitting in a room for about six hours when they said that we get out at 12:30, they lied---(from eight until one), I would rather not waste those hours of my life, failing again at the S.A.T. I wanted to cry. Actually, I sobbed a little when I got home, crying to my mother on the phone of how I just watched my life go down the drain.
Me? Being an English genius? Well, here's the thing: I'm not the brightest when it comes to analyzing. I may write a lot of stories, and have a lot of experience when it comes to editing other people's work, but I felt very stupid while looking over the passages to analyze. I'm not saying that it was impossible, because since I'm in AP English that's all we do in that class: read essays. It helped, but not by much. Not to mention that we had a time limit of twenty minutes, requiring you to at least answer thirty to forty questions O.o That just screams WTF?!
And to top it off, the essay was the first thing we had to do...in under twenty minutes DX. But, I've been trained from my English class to write at least a four paragraph essay in fifteen minutes using examples and elevated language. I think that was the easiest part of the whole test. However, the damn essay DOESN'T EVEN COUNT! I was tempted to write, "Eff my life" on the last line, but I restrained myself to not do so.
I know I failed at the math. Oh dear God, I did. A second grader would've done better than me. And everyone on Facebook is like, "OMG, the SATs we're so EEEEEEASY XDDDDD OMGWTFBBQ!!!!111one".
...Bullshit.
(excuse my French there).
I know I haven't gotten my scores back, so I cannot say that I failed the S.A.T.s. But it feels like I did. I'm just not a good test taker, yet everyone else is...or maybe I'm just not intelligent, like some of the bitches in my class who are rather snobbish and arrogant, biting my head off if I get the answer right before them.
The only good thing about this is that I know what to expect on the S.A.T.s if I take it again.
However, I am taking the A.C.T.s in the summer. My guidance counciler had told me that Freshmen year, the plan test we took was a test for Sophomores and it was the Pre-A.C.T.s in which I scored a 26/36, two points away from the Bright Futures scholarship, scoring 85% higher in English and Science than Sophomores and Juniors....so maybe I am smart. Or I Christmas Treed it, and somehow I got lucky. I don't remember. But I am hoping that I will score high on those, and come out with a smile instead of a frown. I'm praying for the best.
Sorry for this rant, but I had to get that off of my chest. I feel like my English teacher who tends to rant for fifteen minutes straight on a completely different topic than the essay we're reading....XD
So for those of you who haven't taken it, don't let this rant discourage you; it's not the worst thing in the world. The worst thing is the night before you go in for your colonoscify (sp?). Or marrige if it makes it simplier. Don't fear the S.A.T.s when you walk into it; just fear it after your done.
My mom said, "Hey, at least it isn't a test from the Nuring College Board, in where you can't take the exam again." And she's right. "At least you got it over with." And she's right there too.

For my final words I would just like to say that....S.A.T.s suck.
