For all who live in the US and are taking the SAT's tomorrow, I wish u all good luck. These tests are a complete waste of time and money, but if u do ggod, then college searching is more easier. Math is easy, but English is a nightmare.

Once again, good luck for all who are taking them and DON'T worry. You'll do fine.

I heard that on the announcements today they need to be at school by 7:30. The inhumanity!

Good luck...i only took them once...i did well, but still...

I wanna do em

Yup. I got mine tommorow too fear I hope I do well
GL to every 1 else taking it

So....what the hell is this SAT thing? Oh wait, another of north america weird things....

It's basically an I.Q. Test, my teacher gave me prep books for them

Oooooo, I see...

its not really an IQ test, because you can study for the SAT's...they used to be called the "Scholatic Aptitude Test"...it basically is used by colleges to determine how scholatically minded you are...but they are BS...my friend, who never does any work, got like a 1450 on them... and other people who work all the time got like 900 on them...

Although I'm not American, you can take them here I think
I always wanted to go to a state college

My teachers incouraged me

It is too an I.Q. test
I don't do much work, but get high marks, and I did a mock one, and scored very well

It follows the same thing
Just questions from general knowledge

7:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats pretty much against the law here to make kids go to school around that time.

but its not general knowledge...its totally different...general knowledge would be the ITBS or the TAKS...the SAT is very specific in what it tests...it tests more innate reasoning than IQ...yes, they are similar, but not quite. you can't 'cheat' on an IQ test...but teachers have taught the SAT for so long they can basically teach students how to legally cheat on it.

ACT is easier i think. The two tests test two different abilities. I'm not realy sure what the difference is.

Yea, but don't they test what you learned your whole school career?
So it is general knowledge

no...there are logic problems, metaphors, geometry, algebra, but they are timed in such a way that it is not what you know, but how your mind can process information.

Just from that description, I think I.Q. test

Yay! I started a discussion!

Ok, yes, it is an IQ test...but an IQ test is not a general knowledge test...IQ determines how your mind is logically and reasoning based...general knowledge just determines if you know material you should know at a certain point in your life. IQ also shows how quickly you can learn and process information.

I.Q is general knowledge

Knowledge is that cereal they sell at the market right?

I.Q. stands for Intelligence Quotient.

dictionary.com says IQ is The ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient multiplied by 100.

That's not general knowledge

yes because it's what you have learned in relativity to your age

*sigh* JUST GIVE UP!!!!

YOU FIRST

jerry

I'M RIGHT!!...why should i give up when i'm right? that makes about as much sense as saying an IQ test is general knowledge...

and it is

ffs

Good Luck to everyone who is taking any exams!

I just took my Geometry First Semester Exam to place out of it next year. I have my next semester next Saturday!

im in england and i have SATs in 3 day maybe i should start revising....o well lol

Finished taking it about 3 hrs ago. It wasn't hard, but it wasn't easy. The English section had a lot of vocab words i'd never seen before. That made it a little harder.

I got my sat's on tuesday

that's odd. They're usually on Saturdays

Heh, SATs...you poor juniors, I had to take the SAT and the ACT last year (and I had to take the SAT the day after the last day of school which SUCKED). The ACT is a lot easier, but I still did damn good on both -- 1340 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT

a 32, yeah, that's believeable.
SAT are as hard as hell, but ACT is much easier. Less english and more science.

Yes...(I got a perfect 36 on the science part of the ACT...)

I did a lot better on the math parts of both the ACT and SAT than the English section, which is odd because I'm better in English usually

I took the SAT II

The SAT's i took last year, and that Srah's taking on tuesday is different to you americans. It's the Standard Assesment Tests.
baically it determines what tier of work we go on to do.

Srah???? *hemhem* i tink youll find it has another A in it -_-

SAT's are today and I'm taking them again. What was I thinking? Hopefully I'll do better this time. I did good, but I know I can do better. Time to waste 4hrs of my life

Sat's in england dont actually mean anything, there not even used to put you in sets for your next school. the only important tests are gcse's
