<p>Has anything crazy ever happened during any of your SAT/SAT II/AP Administrations? </p>
<p>We had the fire alarm go off in the middle of an AP exam at my school this year. It was an interesting break in the middle of the essays.</p>
<p>hshahhaha! fire alarm.? what happened</p>
<p>That's sooooo great!</p>
<p>When we had our AP chem exam, the administrator just walked out of the room to go to the bathroom leaving us all unattended at the end of the MC portion of the test. You can figure out what happened after that haha.</p>
<p>Once there was a fire drill in the middle of a math quiz, so I and a few friends went over to the cafeteria, had an ice cream, and came back (with the unoffical permission of the teacher ;) )</p>
<p>We all looked at each other, looked at the proctor, and she told us to go outside. We did- and got the time we spent outside added back on. There wasn't all that much talking about the exam- the first essay was to compare/contrast two poems we'd already studied, so no one needed help on it, and no one had gotten past the first essay. It was a nice break though.</p>
<p>misbubbled and got 5 verbal wrong in a row</p>
<p>I self studied Environmental Science last year, so I was the only one in my district to take the exam. I had my own proctor in my own room. He was asleep for most of the exam, but I decided not to cheat (everyone else was on a different floor and my backpack with all my study materials was right next to my chair). I even coughed a bit when my time was almost up so he wouldn't think I cheated or anything. I'm such a good student.</p>
<p>I had the dumbest SAT proctor, she let people go back to old sections if we finished ahead of time. She really didnt know what the test was about.</p>
<p>The most hilarious/awful test ever was the October '04 PSAT. During the test, the fire alarm went off the minute before we were to finish the fourth section. A bunch of people cheated while we waited. It was great, and I strangely consider the day one of the best ever.</p>
<p>I was also in horrible shape for it, too -- I had slept about five hours in two days, had eaten literally nothing in those two days, and was out with friends until late the night before. However, I ended up getting about 20-25% higher than most of the people I knew who were juniors. They weren't happy.</p>
<p>Annoying person behind me with a cold. 'Nuff said :(</p>
<p>ya, i don't know why, but it seems that i always get a cold during standarized tests</p>
<p>My first SAT I - back in seventh grade. I'm pretty sure our proctor let us start early or something? The first section was math, and I finished it with something like 20 minutes - literally - to spare. It was weird. I felt like I did something wrong.</p>
<p>no, that's normal. i finished the chem one with around 10 minutes to spare, and i'm pretty sure i started on time.</p>
<p>"ya, i don't know why, but it seems that i always get a cold during standarized tests"</p>
<p>Stress cold? I always get stress-related illnesses during the school year. They're not really colds, but they have all the same symptoms. I'm convinced I make myself get them, though, by stressing out over exams, papers, deadlines, etc.</p>
<p>Anyway, my exam horror story: someone's watch kept beeping every minute or so. It was right near me, too. It was really annoying at first but then I could've gotten over it... except the proctor, EVERY TIME IT BEEPED - which was seriously every minute, she'd say something about it. And her talking was a hell of a lot more annoying than the beeping! Ugh. And I was on critical reading section when she practically exploded. It's hard to concentrate when you have the proctor bending down at your watch, listening hard to see if you're beeping. Ughhh. She was nice because she wanted to stop it for those who it was annoying, but it was more of a distraction to hear her yapping and practically laying on people's arms.</p>
<p>After we were done with a section she lectured us. I have this issue when nobody speaks up about things - I can't take silence. So just to get something said/action taken I said "Well, I hear it in this area, and I know my watch beeps quickly once on the hour, but if one beep an hour is annoying I can put it away. It's not beeping every minute, though." And then after silence the kid next to me was like "No, it's not your watch." But the proctor was like "Well lets just take your watch and put it up here in front so we can tell if it is or not." And my watch is what gets me through tests sanely but I let her have it and stare at it hawk-like. And magically, as soon as I handed over my watch, THE BEEPING STOPPED. I had given the beeping-watch-***** time to stop the beeping and thus, in result, I didn't get my watch back until the end of the test.</p>
<p>RAWR >></p>
<p>In 10th grade I had to temporarily abandon my physics final exam because I had to go to the bathroom to take a ****.</p>
<p>Or you could get a cold if you don't get enough sleep; your immune system becomes weaker.</p>
<p>The worst exam I had was AP Environmental Science my sophomore year. We were supposed to have the exam at a local church, but the day of the exam came, and it turned out there was a wedding also scheduled. Needless to say, we had to relocate to my school. Unfortunately, the Honor Roll celebration was also scheduled for that afternoon...we had to try to take the exam with people yelling in the halls and constant announcements over the PA system. </p>
<p>Once the exam actually started, it got worse. Our APES teacher was really slack, and we learned nothing in that class (most people just watched MTV and played cards in class). Most people just gave up during the first part of the exam and went to sleep. When it came time for a break, half of students headed for their cars to leave. They had to come over the intercom and threaten them to make them come back for the second half. Most people just gave up on the second half too, and the few of us that actually tried to take the exam got yelled at for holding them up. </p>
<p>There was one 5, two 4's, one 3, and 76 1's. :eek:</p>
<p>WOAH - No offense, but I've always heard the apes exam is a lot of common sense?</p>
<p>No, it isn't. Maybe enough to get a 2? But it looks like most people realized that there is no difference between a 1 and a 2.</p>
<p>During the ACT I was in a lecture hall at Temple and I was wearing flip flops. My right foot slid under the seat infront of me and one of my toes met something sharp... My toe sliced open and started bleeding, but I didn't know what to do! I thought, "Do I tell a proctor and stop taking the test, only to have to come back at a later date or do I just keep on taking it?". I chose the latter, and ended up just wrapping my toe in tissues. I managed a 32 on the section that it happened during so I guess I did the right thing by just dealing with it!</p>
