Moira in MA Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Seems to be way less popular than the June test date -- dd only took a subject test then, but the test site was a zoo. Today was empty by comparison. I get to collect her in about an hour. Any reactions from your test takers? Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira in MA Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 I guess not. I'll report on dd's reactions in case anyone is interested... 22 kids were assigned to her room. 21 kids showed, 3 shouldn't have been there and were sent to the office. Either they were unable to correctly alphabetize their name or couldn't remember a room number between the lobby and the social studies wing. The 4 missing test takers never showed. The test was long...the chairs were uncomfortable...the room was next to the bathrooms and therefore noisy when any other test group was on break...it was also stuffy...and 4.5hours is a long time. On the subject of the test itself, she said the essay question was way better than the one on the 2008-2009 practice test, she could actually make some good arguments. She's hoping not to have to take it again. Moira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sounds like quite an ordeal. Here's hoping that she won't need to do it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Oh my!! My dd took 2 subject tests, there were 8 in her room - this is our first experience with SAT and this school (she took the PSAT in October at another school). Her proctor couldn't have been nicer - he reminded her of the teacher in "Emperor's Club" :) The school was a zoo - about 800 kids total but the rest were doing the Reasoning. I didn't think about the spring dates being more popular - I can't imagine how that will be!! She came home and took a nap - something she NEVER does. Getting up at 6am is highly unusual for her :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
