<p>Or is it not allowed until scores are sent out?</p>
<p>Not until the scores are sent out according to CB. </p>
<p>BTW, do you not find it amusing that they tell students to "[not] eat, drink, or smoke" during the test? :P It's just very ridiculous if one pictures this in one's head.</p>
<p>They made that rule because of me. Sorry guys.</p>
<p>I also like "you shouldnt have brought your cell phone, but if you did, turn it off" Not having a cell can be a safety issue, as well as a major inconvenienced to those who relying on a parent for transportation.</p>
<p>BTW, do you not find it amusing that they tell students to "[not] eat, drink, or **smoke" during the test?</p>
<p>it was a good joke. everyone laughed.</p>
<p>i smoked a blunt before and after the sats.</p>
<p>some kid in my room went "are you serious?...god dammit" rofl and he was serious about it...seemed like a complete jackass. He finished early on the writing (sec 10) and was sitting there grunting cuz he wanted to leave. I was about to get up and punch him in the face, but I was stuck for time.</p>
<p>is it just my test center, or is it a new policy that you can't have a water bottle under your chair?</p>
<p>hmm, yea they didn't bother me for have my water under my desk. I think it's probably just your center.</p>
<p>maybe they're scared your bottle water will tip over with the cap off and fall on ur calculator. wow, w00t runonsentence</p>
<p>or maybe they think the water really isn't water :o</p>
<p>Lol, it's just that some test centers are ANAL as hell. Even within test centers, some people are just more stricter than others. </p>
<p>I.e. Brea-Olinda: One time I took it, this person went around the room EVERY TIME we started a new section to see if we have a calculator out when we should, not when we shouldn't. He wouldn't let us have ANYTHING else out, not even on the ground. He was to the second on time, and he was always walking around the room, making us nervous. o.o He was like a scary stalker man.<br>
Another time, we had this reeeeally lax person, and she was like "EH, just 2 more minutes left. Everyone's done? Okay! Chill for 2!" She was constantly going in and out of the classroom.</p>
<p>So yea.</p>

People seemed to do fine without them; I'm also sure that the number of people who have been injured or killed by people talking while driving is more than the number of lives they've saved.</p>
<p>the proctors for my SAT told us not to even show them water and go outside for break and do it. O yeah, whats the reason we can't talk about the essay until we get our test? is it because some people might like accidnetly retake or soemthing like that???</p>
<p>That is crazy our proctor allowed us to have water bottles out on the table. As long as they had a cap and were put to the far edge she didn't seem to mind. Maybe that was because there were so few of us that she thought that she could keep her eye on us the whole time.</p>
<p>wow that's news to me, how come we can't talk about it anymore?
can we talk about it on other forums, or is this a complete new rule "no discussion of the essay you took, ever."??</p>
<p>In my state, I can not sign a legal binding document until I am 18, so I am free to talk about it.
Or we can say, if I were to write an essay about leadership, I would make it a political essay, analyzing the pool for our top elected officials, and its limitations.</p>
<p>If I were to write an essay about political leader and give examples about how every President in the U.S. so far was a white male, and most were rich, regardless of how inclined to lead they were, about how ambition often takes precedence over leadership skills and cited Hamlet and Othello, about about how leadership by force often occurs (citing Fidel Castro), and about unequivocal demonstrations of incompetence (citing FEMA director Michael Brown), would it be bad to end the essay with a sentence about what Socrates believed to be the ideal government, and say that against his standard, many of today's leaders fail to show a propensity for leadership? Normally I'd have to qualms with doing so, but if I were only able to write one sentence about Socrates's ideal government due to time and space constraints, would the fact that I didnt develop it enough render my ending a poor one?</p>
