<p>^ Ok. Why is it that every time I go on a thread, I see the two of you always get into some sort of argument? It’s getting kind of ridiculous now.</p>
<p>LOL well maybe she shouldn’t think that everything is about her. i mean, she just argued about something she agrees there was no reason to fight over.</p>
<p>Yikes…</p>
<h1>totawk</h1>
<p>Why does this thread even exist? Seriously, when I saw it I thought it would be a joke.</p>
<p>If the SAT actually made some kind of impact on your life that doesn’t have to do with college admissions, you should go get a hobby.</p>
<p>Also, why are people arguing over vocabulary? Anyone who judges others based off their vocab variety (passed, let’s say, the stuff in ‘A Catcher in the Rye’) isn’t really worth talking to.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Selective colleges will tell you that most of their applicants are *qualified<a href=“that%20is,%20ready%20for%20college”>/i</a> even if they don’t get accepted. But in “real life” it’s not a bad thing to not have a 2300, and it’s not a bad thing to have to go to a college that regularly accepts people without insanely high SAT scores. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>About people on here being crazy?
I’m a person on here, so it can’t mean anything especially awful. 
But CC people just don’t think the same way about college as the average person does.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>When I commented I was mostly thinking of people who use big words for the sake of using big words. If you’re just using them as a means to an end like I assume most academics do, you’re probably using them correctly.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because it’s fun to argue over stupid stuff on the Internet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol in my life, with my pARENTS, it is. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wat</p>
<p>… news to me!! what is life</p>
<p>@migraine lol, so true.</p>
<p>This was…entertaining.</p>
<p>As for impact, it’s made me more stressed out.</p>
<p>That’s about it lol</p>
<p>It wasted many hours I spent doing meaningless prep which I could have spent doing waaaay better things. It turns out, I took the ACT 1 time, no prep and got a 34. So all the time is wasted time for me :’(</p>
<p>I didn’t take the SAT.</p>

<p>Hmm…</p>
<p>Answers all questions in class.
Thinks classmates should know better.
Decides to rant via CC.</p>

<p>Some people still act shocked at a person with SAT top 2xx words vocabulary knowledge even through Senior year after SATs are over…</p>
<p>Well, it just annoyed the heck out of me (didn’t study much, got an average score). The value of studying the material beyond a good score just isn’t the most practical asset to have on hand if you’re not going to be an SAT tutor later… 2/3s of it is a marathon of mastering trick questions, writing philosophy papers, and spotting grammar errors. Nope, time better spent learning math and science or even AP classes to knock GE’s out of the sky if you’re going to be an (engineer/insert other applicable thing here). Writing skills are good, but the test orients them in the wrong direction. So I watch people toil in misery studying / can’t go to or do things because of SAT classes, etc–this is how it affects me… (I feel how they already do is good enough)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>(I know that wasn’t meant seriously, but a philosophy paper is not a five-paragraph essay containing your personal opinion on some fluffy question taken from a Lifetime movie.)</p>
<p>The SAT raised my confidence, honestly. I never had much trust in my own skills and I always thought I was rather stupid until I scored well on that test.</p>
<p>That said, I’m not jumping into this argument. / pops popcorn</p>
