1. DRIP : GUSH ( ... )

Also, Holy shit, they gave you an SAT test?!!!

zevhonith February 13 2009, 19:06:22 UTC

Also also, I think Eli's answers are better than mine. :P

And this is why the SATs are goofy. I never actually took them. Maceration is something I knew about because of wine making, for example. Do they expect people to memorize the dictionary?

zevhonith February 13 2009, 19:34:42 UTC

Well, yeah. A big part of SAT prep has to do with memorizing root words, tricks to figure out what stuff means. That's why a lot of snootier schools include Latin as part of SAT prep.

netan9el February 13 2009, 19:46:47 UTC

You did pretty well. You missed 2 and Eli missed 1. I'll post the answers later.

elijahdprophet February 13 2009, 20:11:42 UTC

Damn, I missed one...

Now I'm curious which one it was.

zevhonith February 25 2009, 00:48:09 UTC

Hey, I only missed one! (Thank god I came back and checked!) :P

netan9el February 13 2009, 19:45:07 UTC

LOL no this was not from the test I took yesterday. Yesterday they gave me a grammer/spelling thing, a Typing Speed test!!! and a timed transcription...

These are from a practice test for the MAT but they also give these to people taking the GRE.

I HATE these because often 2 answers could be right.

zevhonith February 13 2009, 19:47:44 UTC

Oh, okay. :P That makes much more sense.

How do you feel about the stuff yesterday, was it okay?

netan9el February 13 2009, 19:56:06 UTC

eh...

I think I did fine on the grammer part as it was pretty simple. The spelling I probably did alright on.

However as soon as they said I had 3 minutes to type 2 paragraphs as many times as possible my nerves kicked in and I did awful. My hands began to shake and everything. So I know I didn't do that well. I can type super fast now but not yesterday. Then for the transcription part I was so off that I mess that up to and couldn't spell anything right... *sigh*

I did tell them I normally do better and tha tI was super nervous. We talked a little about just the word "Test" freaks people out.

eh... What will be will be right?

blah

zevhonith February 13 2009, 19:57:55 UTC

What will be will certainly be. :) It doesn't sound awful!

netan9el February 13 2009, 20:05:36 UTC

I'm hoping to get 3 recommendation letters to give them Monday. They said I could scan them and email them. So maybe that will make a difference. If not life goes on.

Really right now I'd be very happy if the sun would come out... *sigh* I'm tired of being cold on top of feeling down.

zevhonith February 13 2009, 20:13:01 UTC

I know what you mean. :( It's hard to muster enthusiasm when everything is chilly and grey and damp.
