As some of you consistent readers know, I took the SAT in early May (I posted quite a bit about how nervous and tense I was while studying, followed by another post saying how excited I was that it was over with). A few weeks ago, I received my scores (1890! also see previous post) and was in general happy with what I got.
Since I wasn't worried and generally pleased with my score, I didn't really go all out studying for this SAT. This means I didnt skip school and didn't spend the whole day hovering over practice tests and SAT prep books. Nope, this time I took a casual approach: went to school like a normal day, came home and relaxed, went out to dinner, did a few small problems, and went to bed early.

I actually felt really good. I woke up the next morning, ate a nice breakfast, and arrived at the school in due time to sign in and get ready to take the test. Everything was going smoothly as if it was picture perfect.
After filling out all the necessary forms, the test began with an essay, which I wrote one of the best I have ever done (5 paragraphs in a 25 minute time period!). I was so excited, that in the next section (section 2), I placed all my answers in the wrong answer sheet (I put them in the section 3 bubbles). After I realized my error, I approached the proctor, who gave me a whole new answer sheet form, which I had to fill out all my information AGAIN, and told me to finish the rest of the test on this form. She then had to fill out an "irregularity report" saying I made a fault and that my answers are on two sheets and all the details, etc.
Hopefully this won't happen to me!
This sort of stressed me out during the rest of the test, however I still think I did ok and hopefully I can push that score into the 1900's! Now, I'm all finished with testing until October. This was just another link thats bringing me closer to summer!
