Haha that's a good one.
I got a more detailed SAT letter in the mail today, it talks more about %s. To put it bluntly, my SAT scores sucked bad for me. Maybe not for someone else, but they did for me. Let's start off with the best scores first. Nationally, in math I scored higher than 75% of people that took the test, that's quite good and if my other scores were similar I would be content with my scores, but no. For my reading I scored higher than 50% of people, so I was dead average. That's no good, I read all the time. I know what antipathy and romanticism is, but the questions I got weren't really words I knew. For reading I scored higher than 35% of people, yes I was below average for that. The writing is split into two parts, one is normal multiple choice answers like the rest, I scored a 50% average on that. The other sub part was an essay, and I should have done better, but I didn't. English is my worse subject because of essay writing, I'm too limited, constricted. It's like editing on Wikipedia instead of TVTropes. In math I can solve the answer anyway I want, as long as it's right. In english you have to follow a specific format, which I did. The problem was the whole "content" thing. Set yourself in my situation here, I woke up on a Saturday morning with no breakfast, I got there at 8am around I think and I don't even remember when I went to bed. I had school the whole last week, taxing in a way. Guess what, we did the essay first, blasphemy. I remember it being about why discrimination is wrong or something really boring...I tried to stay on topic, but I started writing about ad companies and the ocean. That's probably why my score dropped, but hey hey hey hey hey I filled in every line.
