<p>makeyourselfxo- Yes, it is kinda common sense. Most people just went to sleep, though; they didn't even try to take the exam. I got a 4, btw.</p>
<p>our room was at least 95 degrees, not air conditioned and i had a fever going into the test (I was actually considering not taking the test because of the fever a few hours before the test)...sweat was dripping down everyones face,the proctor actually told us that we should not have to take the ACT under these conditions, and guess what? ACT people forbid fans!....I thought i did terrible...I opened my scores a month later...very slowly, knowing I would see something terrible...but I was surprised to see a 33, I was expecting no more than a 29</p>
<p>i was taking the SAT I, and i was so cocky that i came across the experimental section that i decided not to do it at all. i thought it was experimental becuase of the short passages (this was back in the days of the old SAT). When I turned to the next section, THERE WERE SHORT PASSAGES! I took the rest of the test not knowing if i just bombed it or if i did really well. i came back to collegeconfidential and found out that the one i didn't do was the experimental. pure luck. i ended up getting 1570, i could have gotten 1100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Eww you suck.</p>
<p>My 8th grade (or freshman, since I'm graduating early) I ate breakfast of stale pizza with my friend (who is now going to Princeton, yay) and I left to take my AP Comp Sci Exam. I was SO nervous and just continued to drink Mountain Dew on a basically empty stomach. </p>
<p>Thirty minutes into the MC of the exam, I barfed on my Exam. I wanted to stay but the lady made me leave.</p>
<p>I got a 1. Canceled later, but it still sucks. NEVER drink LOADS of Mountain Dew with a cold pizza in your stomach. UGH.</p>
<p>You threw up in the middle of the test? That's disgusting. No wonder she made you leave.</p>
<p>Hahah ouch. Man, that sucks.</p>
<p>We had a 5 minute break in between SATII's (I was taking MATHII and Chem that day). During the break, we all got to go outside and chat. Anyways, most of my friends were taking one and so they were about to leave. We stayed and chatted about what we thought about the test, and I literally forgot about the time. Needless to say, I sprinted into the room, red as a tomato, extremely embarassed, 15 minutes late (Haha) and went to write my Chem SATII. To top it all of, we had one MEAN proctor, who said that if we would drink water, he would disqualify us for cheating.</p>
<p>my watch alarm went off and i almost got DQ'd from the ACT</p>
<p>I was at a huge party one night and forgot my SAT2s were the following day. Needless to say I was a little tipsy the following morning with a huge headache -- I normally don't party like that and I regret it quite a bit. I couldn't concentrate on any of my tests (Math IIC, Writing, Chem). Unghh. Had to retake em later (but did Physics, not Chem on the second session).</p>
<p>Nothing can be worse than a hot girl in front of you.
Seriously, you cant concentrate on your test.</p>
<p>its really annoying when the proctor is standing above your head because she wants to see what the questions are!</p>
<p>1) Right before the Calc AB test, some kids outside were psyching themselves up. One of the boys had a backpack on, and when he went to give someone a high-five, the backpack came down on the fire alarm. I was already in the room, and all these security people came dashing in, looking wildly about for the "culprit." It was embarassing for the guy, but hilarious for the rest of us.</p>
<p>2) I'm not sure this one is appropriate, but I'll post it anyway and someone can hit 'report offensive post' if they want:</p>
<p>I had lost a lot of weight running cross country, so I had developed amenorrea (too low estrogen for normal female cycles). So I hadn't had my menses in a year. But in the break during the AP US History exam, I went to the bathroom, and it was like, "Yes! I can have children! No! I have to do the essay section!" So I dashed back up to the proctor, begged him to let me go to the nurse (he wouldn't until I threatened with "women's issues"), ran down there and banged on the door to make them help me, then leapt back up the steps to the testing room a minute before they began again. Phew.</p>
<p>it's really <strong><em>ing annoying when the proctor is talking to another *</em></strong>** when you're trying to take the goddamn test</p>
<p>i agree with chochocho</p>
<p>Well, the second time I took the SAT I, this guy diagonally in front of me had on a really tight pair of women's pleather pants, so every minute of two he would squirm around obviously very uncomfortable, and that was right in my line of vision, so it was a little distracting.
During the AP Chem exam two years ago, a car alarm went off FOUR times for about thirty seconds or so each time with about five minutes or so in between. Finally, the proctor had to tell someone to go ask whoever it was to stop it.</p>
<p>When we did english placement tests, there was a essay. During the middle, there was a fire drill. My teacher got SOOO mad at the school. It such a long time, that they gave us extra time the next day.</p>
<p>I accidentally locked myself out of the house 15 minutes before my AP Physics C exam. My car was outside, but I couldn't get in. I ended up borrowing a neighbor's phone to call my mom and have her come home to get me back into the house. Thankfully, I made it in time for the exam.</p>
<p>Redcomet- I KNEW there was a reason I always leave so early for tests...it's in case something like that happens.</p>
<p>The morning I was taking the PSAT, I wanted to get my brain up, so I drank Red Bull. Except I think was allergic or something to something in the drink, so I felt like puking all the way until the Writing Section. Was forced to go to the bathroom during the break and during one of the math sections. . .</p>
