Talking about the SAT I... let me warn you, it is IN MY OPINION, one of the worst administered and worst exams I have ever seen in my life. And there are many reasons for it...
Firstly 25 minute essays... yeah right.. they expect us to be 25 minute essay writing machines or something...
Secondly, their bloody vocabulary questions... I mean really, I am an engineer, what do I need that grandiloquent vocabulary for?
Thirdly, that practice section. Oh right, you may not have heard about it yet... one of the sections in the SAT doesn't count for anything... in fact you're doing them a favour by helping them decide what future questions will be best to ask, but you don't get anything in return for the help. So they are using us like guinea-pigs... The best part is you don't know what part this is in the exam so you can't just leave it blank and **** them. Moreover if you had a section where you know you did pretty good in and came out of the exam pretty confident you may get a good mark in that section, well then surprises may come when the results show that, that particular section was the "test section"
Fourthly units. Mathematical answers require units, how long is...? and the answer has no units, that mathematically incorrect. Plus they just can't keep it to the SI system can they... I mean really SI stands for International... and I am pretty much certain International concerns USA as well...
And I would go on like this forever if I had to... but unfortunately I got tired of writing... I mean really, I did the bloody exam because they asked for it... otherwise I'd looked for any excuse whatsoever not to do this... I mean really, the Collegeboard really expects people to believe the crap they sell about "College success" they must be really dumb.
