<p>Does anybody else here have serious issues blocking out the sound of everybody using their calculator? All i can hear is clicking and i cannot focus</p>
<p>i noticed it once and kind of laughed out loud…then i went back to my test</p>
<p>Didnt let it bug me, i was too focused.</p>
<p>I feel like i was bugging everyone else cause i would pick up my calculator and just sorta drop it on the desk to finish writing</p>
<p>The kids in my classroom weren’t so bright, so they didn’t take full advantage of the omnipotent calculadora (or they were geniuses and they did all the numbers in their minds…)</p>
<p>Either way I didn’t think it was that distracting.</p>
<p>Only thing distracting are the “power flippers”, you know, the peeps that flip their papers hard to let everyone know that they’re going faster than us… etc…</p>
<p>Haha oh the power flippers.</p>
<p>Or the really, really, REALLY loud throat-clearers.</p>
<p>lucky… some car alarm right outside out classroom went off for 10 minutes…</p>
<p>I wish I was in one of those classrooms. It seemed like mine was completely silent and I was too afraid to clear my throat/blow my nose.</p>
<p>I have problems focusing period.</p>
<p>The only thing that got me past stuff like that is, I turned my iPod on real loud when I did my homework.</p>
<p>Then that stuff didn’t bother me as much, but it’s stell annoying.</p>
<p>I hate it when somewone has a blunt pencil and it makes that skreaching noise.</p>
<p>and those crazy pencil smackers.</p>
<p>and the hand drumers that remind you of donky kong.</p>
<p>ect…</p>
<p>So during the writing section, literally everyone surrounding me, including moi, sounded like they were trying to write 4 words/second.</p>
<p>…so…how many words would that be in 30 minutes?</p>
<p>Honestly, i barely used my calculator during the math section. Only for a few problems to check things or make large computations but i just wrote out the majority of the questions.</p>
<p>^^7200 words. That’s pretty beast.</p>
