I don't remember. It was the newer one and I don't have that score system memorized so I can't even guess. Nothing spectacular probably. I was just teasing him.  |

In any case, I likely will do the same on the SAT, and the ACT. As my counselor pointed out, it's a larger group of people who take those that the PSAT and PACT. The only ones who take the practice test are the ones who really care and want to do well. That means my chances of having a high percentile actually go up when I take the real thing.

Just hope you have a reasonable proctor. The second time I took the ACT, I had about the worst possible testing conditions: I had to pee like crazy as soon as the test started; it was freezing, and there was no heat; people were making so much noise with their feet they were essentially tap dancing; the proctor had kind of a cough, but he actually just yelled every time he coughed, so it scared the crap out of me every time, and was very distracting.
I kind of blew the ACT.
And then the SAT was fine, except I could have done a lot better on all of it but the writing, so I sort of want to take it again. But it's good enough to get me into MIT, and I'm not even considering schools like that, so I'll be ok with it.

lol @ working hard. I remember when I did that on school work.
A tenth of the way done? Wouldn't it be an eighth? Unless you're going to school for 5 years. gg math : )

eew, super-senior. I had a friend who did that. I hated him. Actually, I've got another friend, who's a year older than me, and he's still a sophomore. Smart guy, but no work ethic whatsoever. I'd suggest you avoid the term super senior. Try something like saying you're on the "5-year plan," or you're a +1 senior or something.

My guess is Francis is either being sarcastic, or he just wants another year to take classes. From what I hear, hes not exactly the type to flunk out.

I was held back a year in high school, for the work ethic reason as well...

When it comes to college, being a super senior isn't that frowned upon and happens often when you have multiple majors, like me, since I have two. I pretty much am on a 5 year plan and I'm looking at the list of classes I still have to take and I can tell it's gonna end up that way, even though I've been taking full loads of 5 classes every semester.
In college I can't tell what grade anyone is anymore. The age range is so vast, from freshmen in their 17's and people way past 30. I have someone who started the same time as me and we have the same classes and he's 27. It gets even weirder if they bring their kids into class.
Flunk out? NEVER!!

See? I was on the right track.
As for me, I'm taking the bare minimum in order to get a degree and escape. I hate homework, and I hate paying someone else to do work for them. At least after college, I can have people pay me for a change.

I'm registering for another semester soley to postpone having to start paying back my student loan and so I can stay on my dad's medical insurance plan. I'm awesome like that.  It really is a big deal though. I take 4 different meds everyday, and the one med alone costs about $200 a month so...not something that is easily affordable....  |
