Hey all,
I just took the SAT over the weekend. It's to help me get into a Big 10 school that I'm applying for. As I've mentioned,I attended college before, and didn't do so hot because of being unmotivated. Applying as an adult, a good SAT score can help show what I'm capable of academically, and then I personally sell them on the point that I really care this time, unlike 10 years ago.
I felt self-conscious showing up at the local high school to take the test with a bunch of 17-year-olds. But nobody pointed fingers. The proctor even smiled slightly as I handed him my entrance ticket.
I was also very anxious about my performance before the exam. I forced my partner to take me to Perkins at 6 am the day of the test just to get me out of the house. I couldn't sleep any longer, and I couldn't wait 'til 8:30 am for the test to begin!
But once the test began, I felt calm and focused. Everything was just one question to the next, try to complete as much as possible in the time allowed.
Now I'm just waiting to get the results -- both of the SAT and my subsequent college application. I'll try to let you guys know.
