I did the standardized tests all through grade school, then I took a high school placement test and did freaking great on that. Standardized test math for my area is ridiculous. like 20 minutes for 50 problems that you have to use scrap for. Thats why i didn't get offered to take the psat

yeah, our ISTEPs (Indiana State Testing something something) are pathetic...I scored in the 92 percentile for Language Arts and the 80 percentile for math...

i've been getting the 'past high school' grade on the ITBS since at least junior high, it really ticks people off. i havent taken the ACT's yet, but i took a practice online test and it was all algebra stuff and i took that stuff in 9th grade, its been a year since i've seen any of it since i had geometry this year, so i pretty much failed the math part, i got 12 out of 20, that's not too bad, i did well on the other stuff.

That really ticks me off to with the math. I get like high 80s, but I always get high 90s on vocab, reading, lit.
But what kills me the most IS THE BLOODY MAPS! WERE SUPPOSED TO MEASURE STUPID MILES WITH OUR BLOODY THUMBNAIL!

yeah... but don't tell anyone (government) that I'm really brain dead... it's just i'm one of those guys that's really good at taking tests (you know, the one that does no homework/classwork and just does his tests and quizes and aces 'em and gets a C-B for the grade...)
lol... i know i've ticked off a lot of people who actually work hard for their grades... it's just I'M REALLY, REALLY lazy... and I've NEVER learned how to actually work for a grade... (Elementary and home, where you're SUPPOSED to learn how to study and do your work, never really taught me b/c everything came so easily to me)
