i don't think i've ever had a more horrific experience taking the SAT I. i won't go into further detail, but i shall give some tips to all potential test takers:
1) never be sick on the day of the test. oh my goodness. sniffing and wiping snot on your sleeve all throughout the test is not fun.
2) never start the essay portion thinking you know what to expect. because you don't.
3) math experimental sections are evil.
4) bring a watch. the clocks in the room are usually broken.
5) go to the bathroom before the test begins. holding your pee through 4 sections is not pleasant.
6) relax as much as possible. pretend the test goes on until eternity so no point in rushing to get out. go in with the belief that time stops during that test b/c the proctors are actually witches who put spells to slow down time (like mrs. harrington).
7) bring tissues. lots.
8) hope that there isn't someone uber hot or uber ugly sitting near you that can potentially distract you. your test might read like this instead: "three more than five times a number is the possibility that that is the ugliest outfit i've ever seen."
9) never take the test at the same test center as your overacheiving friends.
10) when all else fails, know how to cancel your scores.
i came out of the test and said to my dad, "GAHHH! that was my last SAT. ever." my dad replied, "...wanna take the november test?" i gave him the death glare.
it's time...to bomb the college board.
