<p>During the Jan SAT, I had this big dude constantly shaking his foot on the base of my chair. I told him to stop, he gave me a look. Then he stopped. He began tapping his foot loudly during the CR section, then the proctor finally told him to stop.</p>
<p>ARRRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>we had a >>beginner<< band practice right above us throughout the whole test…</p>
<p>hahaha, that’s worse…omg im so sry</p>
<p>Punch his stories?</p>
<p>And that sucks… October test, this girl didn’t bubble in her answer sheet and time ran out so she had a hysterical breakdown, with waterworks and everything.</p>
<p>omg…lol if I have to listen to a band practicing during my test, I’ll have a hysterical breakdown, with waterworks and everything (after my test).</p>
<p>lol but one never gets tired of Ode to Joy…-__-
i just closed my ears and focused on dinosaurs… =)
and how could she forget to bubble everything in?..</p>
<p>The panic alarm set off on a car just outside the building for the better part of a CR section, which is probably the worst section for that to happen. It wasn’t as bad as the band playing one though.</p>
<p>I took the Jan SAT too, and guess what? This big 12th grade kid was like cheating off of my sheet the ENTIRE time. </p>
<p>I didn’t want to tell the genius that he was copying down all of my Math answers for his CR sections. hahaha, wonder what he got:p</p>
<p>200 for that section. Too bad College Board doesn’t create a 0 score to show how stupid he is.</p>
<p>It was quite apparent that I was using my calculator while he was reading a passage, but I guess he didn’t put two and two together. It was pretty amusing, and I didn’t want to create a scene so I just didn’t say anything. He was doing a bunch of wierd things, like skipping to the last section and our proctor didn’t say a word. Ahh too bad for him:)</p>
<p>^ Haha that guy sounds like an absolute tool.</p>
<p>I had this one kid who would ask the proctor for the time every minute (there was a clock in the room…)</p>
<p>It is actually pretty hard to get a 200 on the test.</p>
<p>what’s so weird is that in my room we had those old clocks where the second hand moves smoothly around, like, it doesn’t tick
so usually during school, in class, when i look at the clock it looks like the second hand always seems to slow down RIGHT when i look at it
during the test, it was quite the opposite…the second hand was speeding up and before i knew it, it made a full rotation T_T i was like “noooo!..”</p>
<p>The first time I took the SAT, the entire room was brought to the school’s auditorium. The chairs there had tables that pulled out from the left side, and they were literally only a few inches long so only the answer document fit on it. Long story short, it was really uncomfortable, distracting, and downright unfair.</p>
<p>^ omg if i were you i would go into the isle, lie down on the floor and do the test on the floor =D</p>
<p>Last year while I was taking the SAT test, there was an incredibly loud high-frequency buzz that went on through the entire test. Our proctor was old and couldn’t hear it. Quite Annoying.</p>
<p>This might top everything:
A kid a row to the left of me and 3 seats ahead of me was so nervous that he soiled himself. No lie. I’m thinking holy **** (literally), it smells like *<strong><em>ing *</em></strong>.</p>
<p>And I don’t know how she forgot to bubble everything in. She started saying “But on the June test, they let me bubble it in!” And it was overall distracting. She went to the office (not sure why, they can’t really do anything). And she came back even more hysterical than ever. We were near the end of the section and she just came back and started doing it, without finishing on time. Quite a tragic story since she’s a senior, and it was the October test.</p>
<p>Luckily, March SAT went pretty smoothly, aside from the mild chair-foot tapping and the 10 snifflers throughout the room, constantly sniffling every other second.</p>
<p>@mybmanglass
omg didnt the proctor notice?</p>
<p>@superexcited
lol i know! i hate when that happens. i bet the january SAT was even worse since more ppl were sick and kept on sniffing the whole time…</p>
<p>The sniffling thing gets to me, but the chair knocking is TEN time worse. It’s so incessant and I just want to yell SHUT UP. Especially since this test is like so stressful, I hate when people make the testing site even worse.</p>
