<p>My worst moment was my looking at the clock and thinking I had 5 minutes left, then realizing that the proctor was using a different clock which was faster... I had to guess on my last to grid-ins for math :(</p>
<p>there was so much rampant cheating in my room. The aisles between the desks were like a foot in width. Seriously, stupid ETS doesn't know jack squat.</p>
<p>I had to pee really bad during the 7th section of the SAT. >_< Although I do believe that was my best section (lol), I don't want to relive that again. Ever.</p>
<p>my proctor closing the door after the break and starting to read the instructions while i was still outside. jerk..</p>
<p>Worst moment: my arse was starting to ossify by the eighth section. Also, stomach grumbles were going around the room like mini-earthquakes. My own stomach, in particular, was making some unpleasant sounds. I guess half an egg-salad sandwich doesn't cut it.</p>
<p>i wanetd to snap my pencils after the second CR section for not finishing.</p>
<p>so close to going crazy...</p>
<p>Our stupid college student proctor didn't even let us start the test until around 9:15... and then wouldn't let us talk during breaks. <em>**... that's NEVER been an issue before. I think he said "This is your last warning. Drop your pencil!" or "This is your last warning. Stop talking!" more times than he blinked. Pretty much, even though no one was talking whenever he said that. If someone was yawning, he would say "Stop talking!" Like.. *</em>*FFFFFFFFF.</p>
<p>He then proceeded to walk around the room, and randomly attacked people, asking them for their IDs. He checked our IDs between EVERY SINGLE SECTION. He made us show him our IDs after breaks before he would let us back into the room. </p>
<p>He wouldn't let this girl go to the bathroom during the test. :/</p>
<p>I'm pretty upset that our testing room got out around 1:30. He was so irritating. I wanted to rip his head off. AH</p>
<p>I've got you all beat: my car broke down on the way to the test. I went for coffee the morning of and was driving to the testing station on a backroad when a branch fell over the road, leaving no time for me to swerve...I passed right over it and ended up with a two-foot long HUGE stick wedged into the bottom of my car and dragging against the road. I was competely freaking out, so I pulled into a parking lot about twenty minutes away from the center about 15 minutes before I was supposed to be there and called my mom (lol) to come and give me a ride....we ended up speeding through the rich neigborhood with their private cops, but luckily didn't get caught and I got there on time :) (Oh and my car is fine now)</p>
<p>Also, my proctor stole my mechanical pencils and made me use the cheap CB-issued pencils with crappy erasers. If my score is messed up because something didn't erase completely I'm going to be ****ed.</p>
<p>Whatever I ate last night gave me really bad gas. Fortunately, there weren't a lot of people in my room and none were near me.</p>
<p>haha my proctors cell went off half way through the test for its entire ring...but that wasnt the worst.</p>
<p>the worst was finishing the 10 questions on the first part of the last section in 7 minutes. then thinking iwas done, i sat there for two minutes. with 1 minute left i flipped the page. SURPRISE!! 4 new questions. i rushed off some answers that are probably all wrong</p>
<p>I checked College Confidential.</p>
<p>It killed my optimistic mood.</p>
<p>There was a jackhammer running right outside our testing room for approximately 2 hours of the test.</p>
<p>I had just gotten new braces and an expander the day before, my mouth hurt like hell, and my proctor confiscated the Tylenol I was trying to take during the break. I also couldn't really eat anything besides mush, so I didn't have anything for a snack to tide me over. And our proctor was really slow so we didn't get out of the testing room 'til 1:30, by which time I had a screaming headache and was about ready to faint.</p>
<p>Three interesting/unusual things happened while I was taking the test.
1) I got a nosebleed, spontaneously, right in the middle of the test. I NEVER get nosebleeds, but just my luck... There weren't any tissues nearby so I just kept wiping the blood on my pants.... it sure was distracting though..
2) I noticed in one of the sentence completion questions that there was a glaring grammatical mistake (the one about the deafening resonance of the cheering crowd.) Clearly the people who wrote the question were not the people who created the Writing Skills section.
3) THIS FREAKED ME OUT! I recognized one of the math problems from one of the practice tests that I had taken at home! It was the one about the rectangle and increasing its width by 30% and decreasing its length by 30% (this might have been in the experimental section; I did have an experimental math). Even so, this was the EXACT same question as one of the questions in the first practice test in the Kaplan book. Yes, you read that right, the book of another company... The SAT people, although perhaps inadvertently, copied a problem from the test booklet of another company. Talk about a major screw-up...
nosebleed, copied question, grammatical mistake</p>
<p>was the answer to that questions dec. by 9%?</p>
<p>damn it. i missed a lot of questions...</p>
<p>i was so nervous that i ran out of time. ARG...............</p>
<p><em>SIGH</em></p>
<p>yes dumbstruck</p>
