<p>Here's an article I found out yahoo and wondering if you agree.

<p>i agree, that test is long as hell, and students in america are not used to such a long test, it will make a difference in scores...on the other hand there are 9 hour tests in India for college admissions so idk lol...</p>

<p>In my opinion, it was TOO LONG...we were in there for almost 5 hours...I started to phase out by section 8...I was just ready for it to be over</p>

4

<p>w/e...its ovr i dont care nemore...until april 11 at least</p>

5

<p>yeah...the test is extremely long.
What I don't understand is why they added the last section instead of simply revamping the SAT II writing and the fixing Verbal section on the SAT I. </p>

<p>HA...the last quote in that article cracks me up. '"it's sad because my whole life is the SAT"...
if your life revolves around the SAT, I think there's a slight problem....</p>

<p>The SAT is three hours and 45 minutes. If you were in there for almost five, then it's a memory problem.</p>

7

<p>no i was there for five as well... we started 15 mins late, and there were maybe 20 mins for all breaks... and 30 mins for preparation of the overall test</p>

8

<p>My test didn't start until two hours after the scheduled time. Also, after we finally got the test, we had another half-an-hour delay because all the walk-ins who came from schools that closed. We didn't finish the whole exam until seven hours after the College Board told us it would start :)</p>

<p>scoliosis ->back pain.</p>

<p>S was there from 8 until 1, including breaks. 5 hours. He was not happy.</p>

11

<p>Yea, I was at my test center for 5 hours as well. There were a ton of people late so we sat there (since it was before the test, it was pretty stressful just stitting there). That combined with the test, breaks, passing-in and -out tests, more waiting... totaled to about 5 hours roughly...</p>

<p>Harsh...</p>
