<p>I'm sure that it is quite out of the ordinary for a CC'er.</p>

<p>Yesterday, while taking the SAT, I kept getting distracted by what I saw outside the window, which I was sitting beside. It was a distracting kind of a distraction.</p>

<p>There were COWS wandering across the street from my school (the test center). Just...ambling there.</p>

<p>You have no idea how mesmerizing that black and white blotch pattern can be.</p>

<p>It's not that I didn't try to focus; however, every time I made an attempt, I swear, I'd hear a loud, "MOOOO~OOOO~OOOOOO!"</p>

<p>...Takes the nervous edge off. Also takes any semblance of concentration off.</p>

<p>...Those cows hate me or something...</p>

<p>Yeah, the field across the street from my school is used for grazing cows, with a manger-ish building for them to stay in spring and summer. The stench is none too pleasant.</p>

<p>Figured I'd share the story, what with the weight of the SATs permeating this board.</p>

2

<p>hahahhahahah; moooo moooo-</p>

<p>do like half of this board and complain to ets</p>

3

<p>I can just imagine the complaint:</p>

<p>Dear Sir or Madam,</p>

<p>I am humbly requesting leniency on my SAT score, or an opportunity to retake without fees. Throughout the test, my concentration was unfairly compromised due to bovine intervention.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<hr>

<p>PS - Bovine, not divine.</p>

<p>Wouldn't that make a fun prank letter?</p>

4

<p>lol, that would be a funny prank letter.</p>

5

<p>And now I have this urge to write it. I mean, if asked, I could even justify it!</p>

6

<p>Hahha, this is helarious.</p>

7

<p>u win sir.</p>

8

<p>No, I lost!</p>

<p>Freakin' cows...</p>

9

<p>u should have chose a better test center.</p>

10

<p>I <em>kinda</em> had that happen during one of my AP tests, except...</p>

<p>it was a wall instead of a window
and
white to off-white paint instead of cows</p>

<p>I like cows. They're nice, usually...</p>

11

<p>I had a similar in my AP test. This drilling and noise of construction (they were addign rooms to school). I died.. luckily I passed chem well and history OK.</p>

12

<p>@ AznN3rd - well, didn't really have much of a choice. It was this one with cows on most days, or the other one with cows AND chickens virtually every day.</p>

<p>...Man, I live in a backwaters city.</p>

<p>I've got nothing against cows. Just wish they could've left me alone.</p>

13

<p>During the last SAT, I stopped sloving during the CR section and looked outside the window. A shepard was moving all of his sheep across the street.
What really ****ed me off was that at that very instant, I thought of a perfect example I could have used on the essay...but it was too late.</p>

14

<p>I get so easily distracted when I'm taking standardized tests. Lucky for me, when I took the SAT's my room didn't have any windows. Sure it was gloomy, but it kept me focused!</p>

15

<p>we took the ap calc test at the racetrack. and man those horse s h i t really smelled bad. thank goodness the proctors finally closed the windows ten minutes after the start of the test</p>

16

<p>we had the fire alarm pulled in the middle of our APUSH test. that was pretty unexpected</p>

17

<p>was it a prank?</p>

18

<p>madamebovary..was it at the arcadia racetrack?</p>

19

<p>yup..........</p>

20

<p>lol, cuz i've never had that experince at the santa anita racetrack, it's actually quite fun to look at the horses between breaks</p>
