<p>I feel so honored to be the 400th reply. All of my hardwork and dedication has paid off. Getting the 400th reply has been a dream of mine for many years, and i would like to thank those who have helped me along the way. First and foremost i would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity. Next i would like to thank my parents. I want to thank my dog Nelson, for always being there for me. I would also like to thank my pet tadpole for surviving against all odds for over a week. Next i would like to thank the squirrel that lives in my backyard for climbing trees because that gives me inspiration that i need to get through the day. I also want to thank Corey Nelson for giving me someone to beat in Mario Party. This is a special moment in my life and i would like to thank any of my unmentioned friends and family that have helped me along the way. This moment will be a moment that i will never forget. I just remembered a few other people i would like to thank; college confidential, the fish i caught in the third grade, my light in my room bc i wouldn’t be able to see the keyboard without it, the internet for letting me go on CC, my house because without it i would be homeless, and last but not least i would like to thank all the people out there that actually took time out of their day to read this. I cannot stress how much of a big deal to me this is. I have been trying to be 400th reply on a post for years, but that has not been possible until this amazing day. Hopefully my good luck will continue, but this is undoubtedly a rare occasion. If you asked me how i did this, i would say, you can achieve anything u set your mind on. To all the kids out there reading this, i would like to tell them to follow their dreams. Being the 400th reply is amazing, thank you everyone.</p>
<p>Its 401st post… atleast this is what my fone shows -__-</p>
<p>400th reply 
posts were indeed 401</p>
<p>Ok … fone doesnt show the reply counter… and you could ve written a clg essay for me instead of such an extensive speech :P</p>
<p>Dude xD this is an internet trend. I merely altered small parts of the speech to make it fit.</p>
<p>But that’s exactly my point! Everyone has different backgrounds. And I’m not limiting this to Pakistan. Some in Pakistan might find 1k Rs a hardship. Some might have to work in order to earn enough money to give the exams and apply.</p>
<p>There is no such things as “natural ability”… no one is born knowing the rules of punctuation lol….</p>
<p>I strongly believe that an exam…any exam… is a test of nerves more than knowledge…, some people are just better standardized test takers than others….does that mean that a person with a 2200+ with a week of prep is a genius…no…</p>
<p>That being said, u do have a personal positive experience. So kudos to u!
Sadly, not everyone is as lucky as you are…</p>
<p>@EarlyAction xD dude, we can keep debating about this for ages. By natural ability, I imply: ‘The ability to absorb knowledge and extrapolate’ <— This is something that we are born with and the people who posses greater degrees of this ability usually score higher. However, I am 100% with you on the fact that the SAT is not a good representation of this ability. It only gives reasonably accurate data when a large applicant pool is considered. As for the punctuation thing. English is after all something that can be learnt and greater degrees of natural ability absorb it better. As for the test working out for me, yes it did but I do not have great natural ability. I had to work continuously for 7 months. I believe that hard work to a great degree cancels out the need for natural ability.</p>
<p>Lets agree to disagree. because i strongly disagree with the “It only gives reasonably accurate data when a large applicant pool is considered.” part :D</p>
