<p>Have you ever witnessed some weird behavior from some people on test day?
Today this Asian kid was doing full on yoga and stretching in the classroom right before the test. His mom was also outside the room the entire time...reading a book.
Just something I thought was a little strange. Anything happen to you?</p>
<p>Not really weird, but very annoying. There was this kid that had his leg bouncing up and down the ENTIRE TIME. And he had some sneakers on that would make a sound every single time. And I sat next to him. It seriously screwed up my thinking on a couple of the critical reading sections. I wanted to punch him in the face.</p>
<p>Not really.</p>
<p>There were just some kids in the room who seemed too stupid even to read a book, let alone take the SAT.</p>
<p>And a girl with an eraser the size of a Hershey’s bar, maybe a little bigger (so cool.)</p>
<p>Also a bunch of people who took their shoes off.</p>
<p>^ lol lots of people that sit around me probably get ****ed off at me because if there’s a song in my head I tap my foot to the beat. It’s not super loud though, but I can see how it’s just loud enough to be slightly annoying</p>
<p>So, since I signed up late, I couldnt go to my usual testing site, and I had to go to a ghigh school a few cities north. There, the schools are no the best, and its kind of ghetto. </p>
<p>Anyway, the people around me acted as if they had never done the SAT before, even for practice. You know how there are more answer spaces for each sections than there are questions, aounr 40 spaces? Well, he just continuously filled in the spaces, and he KEPT asking the proctor why there wasnt enough spaces. Aghhh. </p>
<p>Another person forgot to bring a calculator. In the classroom was one of those gigantic, colorful calculators that you see at Target or something, and so, the teachers let the student use it on the math sections! Whenever he types numbers, it would make this annnnnoying clicking sound, probably because the buttons are so big. It was really annoying, but hilarious! everyone couldnt help but laugh. LOL, I hope it doesnt affect my score though. It was definitely a distraction.</p>
<p>The first time I took the SAT I was really unlucky. The guy sitting next to me answered about five questions, then put his head down on the desk and fell asleep. He then proceeded to snore and drool, making it incredibly difficult for me to focus. I hate to say it, but some people just don’t care about their academic performance.</p>
<p>Way back when, I kicked the guy in front of me once. It was an accident, and it least it wasn’t during the actual test.</p>
<p>I was also annoyed by people sharing answers between sections.</p>
<p>Well, not a person, but a fly kept buzzing around my head while I was writing my essay.</p>
<p>One of my friends said that the proctor looked over her shoulder the entire time while she was writing her essay. Guh - that literally gives me the shivers; I hate having people look at what I’m writing . . . er, while I’m writing.</p>
<p>My stomach kept growling today the entire time I was writing it. It probably distracted other people as much as it did me.</p>
<p>Wicked’s “Popular” and Taylor Swift’s “Our Song” were in my head the WHOLE FLIPPIN’ TIME.</p>
<p>I’m so cool.</p>
<p>The girl next to me did every section very fast and closed the book after finishing, without checking her answers or anything. Asked what tf she was doing (in a subtle manner), wondering if she was just that smart and fast.</p>
<p>She said that she is “bad at standardized tests,” and wants to “get it over with.” Maybe if she took more than half the given time she wouldn’t do so bad.</p>
<p>There was this girl there who is on career track and sleeps through all of her other classes. I did not expect her to even be taking the SAT. During the first break she said she had a complaint. She told the procter that the essay was the “most confusingest (this is not a paraphrase)” thing she had ever read. Needless to say it was a long day for her.</p>
<p>Oh and I forgot to bring my admission ticket into the test room, so I filled in my registration number during the break, if that counts as weird.</p>
<p>Once there was a guy sitting next to me said that he was a sophomore at some college. I thought that was odd.</p>
<p>i was in a class full of alot of 8th graders taking the SAT</p>
<p>This guy in front of me had really bad B.O.</p>
<p>Other than that I didn’t notice anything other than the test booklet and answer sheet during it…</p>
<p>@einnob: welcome to my world. my high school is super ghetto, and when i took the SAT in march, about half of the people in my room didn’t even bring pencils. which made me confused about why they were even taking the test to begin with.</p>
<p>Stomach growls are the worst.</p>
<p>Someone released some gas too. (It was quite loud…)</p>
<p>When I was in eighth grade we had a fire drill during the SAT. They had to call up the official office or whatver and we got some extra time because of it.</p>
<p>
Athletes who aren’t very good at academics will often do this so that they don’t mess up later in the test and still get “an acceptable” score for a scholarship.</p>
