My Journey to a 2300 (A Truly "Inspirational" Story)

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>My journey began in November, when I took the SAT and scored an absolutely horrid 2250. At first, my only thoughts were, Why me? Why was I given such lackluster mental capacity? Why was I doomed to be the only Asian who scored below an 800 on the Math section? Why didn't the graders like my essay, peppered with vocabulary words that I carefully crammed into my brain for months? After getting over my rationalization that the College Board was in fact created by Hitler and out to get me, I looked deep down and decided... I will take the SAT once more. Determined to please my Asian parents and satisfy the oligarchies of plant-covered institutions, I battled with test book after test book until, alas, no more was avail. Then I went in, took the test, and on decision day... a glorious 2300 appeared before me. </p>

<p>Now, I know what you may be thinking... how was this possible? Can I achieve similar results? Does this mean I, too, am not doomed to failure? Well fret not, fellow CCers. Your dreams can become a reality. Your incessant worrying about your sub-2300 scores will soon dissipate. Just do what I did. Be a boss.</p>

<p>Impressive job in redeeming yourself from that terrible score- though you’re still 100 points short, bro.</p>

3

<p>Drat. Must-inflict-pain-upon-body.</p>

4

<p>Those 100 points will haunt you for life.</p>

5

<p>What a tragedy, a 2250? Just shoot yourself already.</p>

6

<p>Try a TI-89.</p>

7

<p>2300?.. 2300!!! Are you effing kidding me? That’s horrible. I don’t care whether you’re a senior or not; you better take another SAT and score a 2400. </p>

<p>Ridiculous.</p>

8

<p>2/10…that was a weak ■■■■■■■■ attempt/attempt to be funny. You have a lot to imrpove on in this aspect.</p>

<p>hahaha the “absolutely horrid 2250”…50 points is no “inspirational” improvement.</p>

9

<p>2250 horrible? What the **** is wrong with you. Tragedy? ppppppssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh</p>

10

<p>Really? Does ■■■■■■■■ give you some sort of pleasure? Does it really feel that good?</p>

<p>ah come on! youre nagging like you scored below 1500 ! im not sure whether how many of you are international students or not (which doesnt really freaking matter anyway) but 2250 is considered a pretty damn good score in our organization</p>

13

<p>Wow I really hope your ■■■■■■■■ or else you just made yourself seem like a very big jerk…</p>

14

<p>Does not matter how well you did the second time around…only first time counts.</p>

<p>You have failed yourself as a human being.</p>

15

<p>Trolllllllllll</p>

16

<p>Apparently the people of CC don’t understand the concept of satire…</p>

17

<p>You can see it coming with the title. </p>

<p>“inspirational” in a sarcastic tone. Obvious</p>

18

<p>Wow, you’re clearly using this as an outlet for bragging…about nothing. A 2300 is fine but not incredible…haha.</p>

19

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, apparently not. I thought it was understood that I wasn’t trying to ■■■■■ or be funny but rather mock people who write fluff stories about magically improving their scores over time when really all they do is work hard for a long time. Either way, whether or not people saw into this, it’s absurd that someone actually thought I was being serious.</p>

<p>IDK, the quotation marks around inspirational were pretty clear.</p>
