haha i got this one too, such a rediculous question but overalll i thought they were pretty easy, i got a 1260 on the PSATs for reference but yeahh they werent that bad, the essay actually kinda made sense it was "do rules and limitations contribute to a person's overall happiness"

That sucked. Math questions test nothing at all relating to math.

When I took them a few years ago, for the essay part I put hidden messages in it, like the first letter of each line I capitalized and made each letter dark, so they clearly stood out. The letters down the left side of the paper said "OBAMA" (This was during elections). I wrote a one paragraph essay. That's it. I got a 8 on it.

i know what question you were talking about, it had something to do with a percent I think. Something like that

I loved the essay question, because all I did the night before was read Into The Wild.

My best friend in high school took the SAT's and in the math section was a word problem about Johnny having to build a fence for his dog and how much wood would you need for the yard. He wrote Johnny should fuck himself and fuck the dog too. The school adminstration didn't like that too much.

haha dang man you got lucky with that one. i hate the essay topics though they're so vague its hard to form an argument. thats just me though. i did take a prep course from feb. to may and we took 5 full length tests so i was feeling pretty comfortable yesterday.

it was one of those change the underlined section of the sentence to what makes sense, but none of the options made sense.

they make you write the cursive paragraph because each person has originalities in their handwriting and they want to make sure somebody else didn't write the essay/take the test for you.

i said no to the essay and used egypt as a current event example.

the math section was easy as usual, i think i got shit on in critical reading tho. even the fill in the blanks seemed much harder than normal

$exts = 'jpg jpeg png gif';

$files = array(); $i = -1; // Initialize some variables
if ('' == $folder) $folder = './';

$handle = opendir($folder);
$exts = explode(' ', $exts);
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension
if (preg_match('/\.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive
$files[] = $file; // it's good
++$i;
}
}
}
closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore
mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000); // seed for PHP < 4.2
$rand = mt_rand(0, $i); // $i was incremented as we went along

header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!

SAT/NECAPS/ACT/ AP Exmas/Any form of Standardized testing is all about $ and not actually a reflection of someones intelligence. Public Education in America is fucked... the majority of it.
