Sat for SATs on Sat

If you couldn't get the title by any chance, I took SATs (for US college admissions) last Saturday. If you wanted to know why I took the SATs, I honestly don't really know. Maybe its to substitute my lackluster A'level results or maybe it was just to please my parents.

I wouldn't say i did well for it. Completing a short draft essay in 25 mins isn't as easy as it seems if you were trained to write an 800-word essay in 90mins for the last 2 yrs of your much missed student life. Sadly I'm expecting both my essay dices to roll 4, and I'm lucky, 1 of them might roll a 5 and save me. I couldn't really see how I could squeeze in "strong critical thinking" like my GP essays (which gave me plenty of time and space to do that). The time constant pretty much prevented me form formulating a good plan.

The rest of the writing section should be fine. I trained quite a little for sentence replacement. Maths was quite fine too. But i risk not getting the full 800 due to some thing over looked. My greatest weakness would be from critical reading. I was never really good at compre passages, and I always use my essays to tide me over.

Results are projected to be slightly above 2000. Its definitely not good enough for me. Knowing the fact that I can retake easily probably made felt more at ease than my A's. It unlikely that I'll retake it, I need to find a real good reason to do it.

Meanwhile, priorities will remain to figure out which degree course to go take. (and convince that faculty to accept me)
