The standardized testing starts today at my school. I'm SCARED!

:O
You'll be fine :)

Thanks =)

No problem :D
They are standardized tests anyways. (like you said >.<)
They aren't based on what YOU know.

Standardized tests are EASY. You'll be fine.

I have my final one on Tuesday. They're easy, especially due to the fact that they give you so much time to do them. I had 1:45 Hours after finishing my Reading Test (I'm an Advanced English / Engrish Student) to doodle in my Notebook. I've been drawling out units for games for around 2 weeks now and have 4 Pages of them.

Lol, ACT's, they don't give you enough time. Have fun doing that guise.

Standardized tests: Although they are made out to be difficult, they are extremely simple. Then again, this is from somebody who is advanced in all of his subjects, so…

Anyway, it'll be easy as long as you know… your meme?

IT will desanate you as a Hobo.

Hay guiz, guess who's a senior this year and doesn't have to take anymore standardized tests?

I'm jealous.
I'm gonna be a senior next year. D:

senior year is easy.

Woo!

Seniors FTW!

Senior year is great. You spend a lot of time eating in class, I find.

School sponsored standardized tests are stupid.

Waaaaay too much rides on their scores, in the case of policy making. As for the student, they're absolutely useless.

A lot of internet people I know keep saying that their state tests start today. Yet, mine just finished yesterday…weird.

Tests in general are really, REALLY overrated. In Australia we have a test at the end of High School called the HSC, its a huge deal and the way everyone goes on about it, its like it will make or break you. I didnt study in school so needless to say i got crappy marks, a few weeks after school finished i got a good job with nothing more than smooth talking and bs answers in the interview. Flash forward a couple of years and the people who got great marks are flipping burgers at McDonalds (Not that theres anything wrong with that).

The point is, after the test all you have is a number. Thats it.

Hell yeah bein' a Senior is awesome.
I'm goin' bowlin' tomorrow.

Junior and Senior years are hell.
150 hours of service, 5 hours of homework a night, Philosophy at 6:30 in the morning, 4000 word essay, 2 different finals in each class, internal assessments, culminating project, that's what I have to do.
It makes our HSPE and the SAT look like a joke.

Up until sophomore year all the teachers were always like GET A GOOD BREAKFAST MCA'S ARE IMPORTANT (the MCA is the state test for MN)

But all through Junior year it's just like AP TESTS ACT ACT SAT AP TESTS ACT and by the time someone mentions MCAs everyone just kinda smiles and laughs.

I won't go into detail on Ireland's testing; it's tough to explain. All I'll say is that around about the time your 18 you've to do 2 full weeks of final tests that pretty much decide the rest of your life, owning to Ireland's "points" system. Quite easily you can screw yourself out of collage, and if you do that then chances are you're not going to be having much fun, especially job wise for a bunch of years.
