ThisIsTheDay Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Me! :D I was very happy with how well prepared dd was this morning. It's a bit early for her. Now I can stress at home and wait it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira in MA Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not my student! She's done, and most thankful to be so. But I did drive her to the T-station early this morning to get to work and she was pretty grumpy! As I came to the rotary where we'd have had to turn off for the school where she took the SATs, I suggested that her day could have been worse...I think she *almost* smiled. Good luck to your dd. ~Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My daughter is taking it now! I am sitting in an internet coffeeshop 45 minutes from home, since this is the closest town that offers the SAT. My daughter doesn't yet have her license so we left our home at 6:45 am. Now just sitting and...yawning...and drinking coffee while I wait. :) She was studying flashcards in the car on the way over.

I just thought that most of the schools offered testing today, lol. It wasn't until another mom there said that she'd driven 30+ mins. to get there. It took us 5 mins. to get there, so I'm very thankful about that!! My poor dd is convinced she'll "fail," that all of her dreams will be scrapped, and that she'll have to settle for a teaching job instead. (Yes, she said that, but it's not her first choice!) She's been a bit stressed about all of these big life events. Tomorrow we're going to a college fair, and getting her driver's license is next on the list. I'll be glad when this morning is over.

RoughCollie Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) DS1 is taking it now. He ate breakfast first: 4 XL eggs, 6 slices of bacon, 2 pieces of toast, milk and OJ. I think he was more worried about getting hungry during the test than anything else. He wouldn't take a snack, except for lemon water.

J-rap Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Ha, I remember my son thinking more about the food part than anything, too. He packed a big snack -- like a second breakfast -- when he took it (three times). My daughter wasn't too worried this morning; I told her to think of today's test as more of a practice. (Maybe not good parental advice!) I'm just planning that she'll take it again next fall, after she figures out what she REALLY needs to work on.

Her advice: "You know you're homeschooled when you don't know how to work an old fashioned pencil sharpener." She kept trying to stick the pencil in each of the holes. lol.

Cinder Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My older ds took it today. I think it was a rough day for him. First there was a major accident on the road and he had to go a different way. He wanted to stop at the store on the way to the test center--to pick up a pencil sharpener. Store was closed. Had to go to Walmart instead. At the test center he saw a friend of ours--she's my age. I think she's trying to go back to college. Anyway, that threw him off a bit. Then when the test was over he called to let us know he locked his keys in the car. Lucky for him we were just 5 minutes away, on our way home from younger ds's soccer game. And extra lucky that I happened to have the extra set of keys to that car with me; I usually don't.

J-rap Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 My daughter reported that she definitely needs more math work before her next try! It was a small group -- just three students taking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope his confidence will stay up, and if he's not happy with his scores, he can retake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I just saw this thread, but EK too the SAT today. She took the ACT last month, and much to my surprise, she has decided that she really, really likes the SAT better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
