<p>all right, so where I come from, blonde chicks are hard to come by, mkay?
So my friend, fresh off the boat from Korea, was going to take the Korean Language SAT II with listening, right?
I mean, for us internationals, language tests are given, no kidding.</p>
<p>He got 600 something while me and all my friends got 800.</p>
<p>What do you know? Collegeboard should never let proctors, especially HOTTT proctors, wear short skirts while proctoring. </p>
<p>Poor guy. </p>
<p>I happened to have encountered a similar problem during the behind-the-wheel testing. Failed the test by two marks. One of the reasons was "please look at the road while driving." Gimme a break, DMV should never let their employees wear short skirts while giving out tests.</p>
<p>This has become a serious protestation against the institutions that employ young and beautiful female proctors. I suggest replacing all current employees with young and beautiful females so men, I mean people, can be used to the surroundings and resist the temptations, I mean distractions.</p>
<p>I do have one point of contention: having a hot interviewer (it wasn't for Yale, sigh), is a definite plus. It makes the 'make eye contact to communicate sincerity' bit VERY easy.</p>
<p>Right before I took the SAT for the first time in the 7th grade (Duke TIP), my father called me "incorrigible" because I hadn't even gotten around to doing the practice test that the Duke people had mailed. So you can imagine my suprise when the word appeared in one of the vocabulary sections... though I didn't really know what it meant at the time, I could tell it was probably something really negative (knowing my father) so I guessed and got the question right. Thanks, Dad! :D.</p>
<p>EDIT: I didn't apply to Yale for SCEA, but I thought this was a cool thread so I decided to reply.</p>
<p>"taking the subject tests, there was the this one kid in there, i swear he took roughly 30 minutes on the handwritten "i didn't cheat", and when he finished, me and my friend definately started a slow clap in his honor.... it was ridiculous"</p>
<p>HAHAHAHA It always takes me FOREVER to do those cause I suck at cursive...also, some kid started an argument with the proctor that the sentence didn't contain subject-verb agreement!</p>
<p>The second time I took the SATs someone pulled the fire alarm! TWICE! By law we had to be evacuated into the frigid March air both times, and we were given the option of canceling our scores and getting a free waiver to take them again. I was thrilled with my score, so maybe the breaks helped!</p>
<p>When I took the SAT IIs my proctor was this odd young teacher who seriously looked like he was 15. As I was leaving he shook and my hand and told me to "have a nice life."</p>
<p>I also took the SAT while sick. I nearly passed out during a math section, and my hands were shaking so badly I couldn't write. But somehow I did okay.</p>
<p>Once when I took my SAT I, were were on like the 7th section, and the proctor said time was up. And according to my timer, there was TEN MINUTES left. ten whole minutes! And so as everyone freaked out about how they couldn't finish, I shouted loudly above the uproar that there was 10 minutes left. And finally, after some time, she agreed and gave us the time.</p>
<p>Grr.</p>
<p>Okay. It wasn't a BIG uproar, but the kids were all complaining amongst themselves. =]</p>
<p>i took the ACT the first time as a sophomore and had forgotten i signed up to take it....i was at a party the night before and remember at 1 am that i had the test....i quickly got my stuff together and went to the test on 3 hours of sleep.....at the test the first section was writing and the proctor cut out time 5 min short....i told the proctor it was short and she realized her mistake and let us have the 5 extra min(ended up getting a 35 on that section).....then 5 months after the test a lady called me asking about the test because there was an investigation of plagiarism in my testing room and was wondering if i had seen anything....i ended up getting a 34 on the test so i was happy regardless of the drama</p>
<p>local private school wouldnt give me and any of my class mates a spot. The usual university that proctors didn't proctor. So we road tripped to the nearest city that offered them...2 hours away. 4am wake up hahaha</p>
<p>Canadian--that's what I had to do for my SAT II. I drove two hours to the nearest town and took it -.-</p>
<p>tennisboy -- (I love tennis!!) how do people plagiarise on the SAT? I don't think anyone can really copy anything from the internet while in the testing room. =]</p>
<p>Not really funny, but the first time I took the SAT IIs:
After 2 tests, when the proctor was collecting the papers from those who were not taking a third, a girl went up to give in her paper. The proctor looked at it, saw that the girl had filled out the wrong page with her answers (she had bubbled in her answers on the area meant for the third test), and basically told the girl too bad. The girl had to go fill out a request-to-cancel-scores form.</p>
<p>I went to get breakfast before my last subject test in June, and as I was driving to the testing center, I made an illegal left turn RIGHT in front of a cop. So the cop tailed me for about half a mile, never turning on his lights or anything, and right when I was pulling over, turned off of another street randomly. </p>
<p>I was hysterical the whole time he was following me, so I got the testing center with runny make up and bloodshot eyes. And of course, I had to take of the sunglasses. </p>
<p>So YAY! for looking like an abuse victim, lol.</p>
