For everyone who took the SSAT today

<p>The football One wasn’t so bad. I guessed on alot of the analogies. And the question where x and y do not equal zero was the only math question I wound up skipping.</p>

<p>ugh i had to skip those football questions at first, then i came back to them. i think i didnt answer either the second or the third one.</p>

<p>anybody got those football questions right?</p>

<p>i think they were about basketball not football (maybe I’m think about a diff question?), and I think the last of the set had a negitive number…(for the math)</p>

<p>Hey i have taken 2 ssat test and the last one i got a 2022 score and the one i took yesterday i dunno i’ll have to see.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what scores are needed to get into really good private schools like Phillips & Dover, Deerfeild, Windsor, Weistminter, etc?</p>

<p>im actually taking the one in Jan. too.</p>

<p>I ommitted 4 verbal </p>

<p>and 10 math…is that bad??</p>

<p>“And the question where x and y do not equal zero was the only math question I wound up skipping.”</p>

<p>I got that answer. it was E on my test, that’s all i remember. i think it (6.25/y)x = what. I solved it by replacing the numbers. I put x as 1 or maybe two, i think and y as 6.25. so the equation should equal 1 or 2. so i just guessed and checked the possible outcomes. I forgot my answer.</p>

<p>What was the answer all of you just said like it how difficult it was…but what did u guys put for the answer…I got 2 and -2 and 13…pleez anyone…help!!!</p>

<p>What did u get for the one with drawstring and sweatpants and also what did u get for the one with memorandum and something??</p>

<p>YEA…I got -2 for one of the football question!</p>

<p>Oh. I get it now.. that’s normally how’d I’d solve questions. But I got scared by all the weird numbers.. so I stayed away.</p>

<p>I just looked up stratify, and am annoyed. I mean, I NEVER learned that word, and we already did rocks and minerals…</p>

<p>Someone Pleez Tell Me The Answer To The Football Questions!!!for The Billionth Time!!!</p>

<p>For the drawstring - sweatpants one, I put shoelaces - shoe or whatever it was.</p>

<p>ah sweet. i put shoelace for that too</p>

<p>you need to chill out, I would suggest watching orange county.</p>

<p>oh wow. </p>

<p>.</p>

<p>i put the shoelace one too
for the basketball/football question
i skipped all three, went back in the end and understood it in time…phew
that question seriously confuzzled me at first</p>

<p>I remember an exam in high school that tested some sort of aptitude and there was a reading section. In it there was this description of a cattle rustler who came onto a ranch, grabbed a lasso and started rounding up cattle. And the cattle were going in some gates and out another and there were different types of cattle and we had to answer how many longhorn steers were rustled and how many of another type of cattle were left behind in the green pen and so on. The last question was “How many units overall were stolen?”</p>

<p>Well, after this test we all gathered in the Junior Common Room to go over our answers. And I announced my answer for the last question which was higher than most everyone else’s answer by 1. And I explained that “units” wasn’t limited to cattle. And that he picked up the lasso and it never said he returned it, so the lasso was a stolen unit.</p>

<p>Everyone was convinced I was right. I remember there were two kids who were extremely competitive who were downright sick about this. We left for (spring?) break that day and I remember feeling quite smug as other kids mumbled about the “freaking” lasso and how could they fall for that so easily. It spoiled people’s days on varying levels – from severe and extended to mild and momentary – that they missed the lasso.</p>

<p>Well, we got back from break and the scores came back and they were what they were. Someone asked about the lasso and the teacher laughed. He said we were all idiots if we were counting the lasso as a “stolen unit.” Well, I was the only idiot who did so and answered the question that way. But I had my score in front of me, so it really made no difference anymore.</p>

<p>Then there were the other kids who got it right – most of whom did just swell anyway – but had spent 10 days thinking that their college options would be restricted because they hadn’t thought to include the lasso.</p>

<p>And, well, what I’m trying to say is that you may as well be carefree and dumb, like I was, instead of worried and miserable like those other guys in my class. You’ll get your scores soon enough. And whether you freak out over an answer given here or feel comforted by one…none of that really matters. Sometimes it pays to be the happy idiot. Watch Dexter or something mindless:</p>

<p>[Dexter</a> Television show - Dexter TV Show - Yahoo! TV](<a href=“http://tv.yahoo.com/dexter/show/38195]Dexter”>http://tv.yahoo.com/dexter/show/38195)</p>

<p>It’s time to disperse and enjoy school or study for exams or do anything besides dwell on a few exam questions that will have surprisingly little impact on your life. Though I do have to say that the lasso has had an enduring impact. All someone has to do at a reunion or alumni gathering is mention “the freaking lasso” and it will induce groans from everyone in the class of '80.</p>

<p>you have been severely mistaken. I watched 10 minutes of that show and would not recomend it at all</p>

<p>referring to the movie with colin hanks, you’d get it if you watched it :)</p>
