<p>I had a guy in front of me who kept scratching his head. I don’t know if it itched or he couldn’t figure out a problem…
It wasn’t that distracting though, but it was hilarious. haha</p>
<p>And another time, everyone finished the essay like 5 minutes ahead of time and I was still writing because geez, I mean, you only get 25 minutes…how do they all get done so fast? But they were all seniors who wanted to give the SAT one last shot, so they were all veryyyyy used to writing these essays and it was my first time.</p>
<p>The last time I took it, and before the test started when we where in the hallway, these two girls were talking about how wasted they were the previous night, and how hung over they were that morning. </p>
<p>Not really weird, but I found it humorous nonetheless. Idiots.</p>
<p>^^^When I took the PSAT in 10th grade we did it with our English classes and this one guy who was a total druggie talked about how high he was the night before. He probably still did okay.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I always go super fast and I still do very well. And I don’t just do the SAT quickly, I do that with all multiple choice tests. If I’m going slowly it’s because I don’t know the answer. But a lot of people are the opposite.</p>
<p>I took the ACT hung over, it was one of my best friends parties and not worth missing for a test I can retake. PLUS the testing center was just a few minutes away from her house so it worked out alright. When I was about to crash at 3 I thought to myself there was no way in hell I would get up to take the test but when I woke up I felt pretty good and got a 31.</p>
<p>The first time I took the SAT, I had a horrible sinus infection. Not only did I feel gross, but I felt horrible for being that annoying sick person in your testing room. Also, one of my good friends was in the same testing room as me and she stood up in the middle of the 4th section and ran out of the room and vomited right outside in the hallway, this was very distracting. She came back and finished the test. a crazy time!!</p>
<p>When I was taking the SAT II’s, two girls showed up in footie pajamas. With dinos and ufos on them. We’re talking full-on bodysuits. I only WISH I’d thought of that.</p>
<p>Hahah yeah I usually wear a vneck, plain colored tshirt and pajama pants…and slipper socks to SATs. Sorta weird because I see some of my teachers there hahaha. But everyone else is wearing the same thing.</p>
<p>Except for this one time, I had to go somewhere after the test (it was in June so school was out already and there was some party I think)…and I wore a dress. It felt prettyyyy awkward. I was really focused but trying not to get my hair messed up at the same time</p>
<p>I really hate it when people read questions out loud. I hate it A LOT. My best friend was doing it while we were retaking the SAT and I wanted to die.</p>
<p>this kid finished the test like in the first 40 minutes and fell asleep
and then like 10 mins before the test ends she woke up and began working like a mad man</p>
<p>The last time I took the ACT, there was a girl to the right of me (and about 2 or so inches forward) who kept on looking at the answer sheet of another girl in front of me. It was really distracting, and I felt like it wasn’t right, but what could I do?</p>
<p>wooow. some of these stories are pretty bad. sorry you guys had to put up with that.</p>
<p>We actually had some sort of athletic game going right outside the testing room. We could hear the coach yelling at all the players to “get their head in the game” and “hustle” and whatever else he had on his mind at the time which can get pretty destracting i must say.</p>
<p>also, the proctor was talking on her cell phone during some parts of the test, then wandered into the hallway and started talking to other proctors that were wandering around and everything echoed!! eaugh. </p>
<p>The first time I took the SATs, there was this one guy who was so strange
He finished in legit the first 5 minutes then he would sit there munching on his chips and crinkling the bag when it was dead silent. Awkward.
Then he turns so that he’s facing me and watches me taking my test. It was the most uncomfortable experience ever. Man, there were really strange, socially awkward people in my class that day.</p>
<p>I live in the midwest and the closest school is a mile away. I was driving my car but the tires started acting up. I got out of my car and realized the tires had frozen to the road. I start treking the remaining 4 miles in the minus 50 degree weather with the artic winds blowing on my back. The sun hasnt even risen yet.</p>
<p>I pass in the middle of my 3rd mile and wake up in room. They hit the lights the instant my eyes open and ask me who I work for. I tell the bastards to go to hell. The next thing I know, I’m on the ground. They start hitting me again. After about 10 minutes I pass back out.</p>
<p>They dump me at the closest abandoned farm house and I crawl half a mile to my school. As I sit down to take the SAT I realize my hands are too frostbitten to grasp my pencil. I bleed out all over the test and hand it to my proctor as the SAT ends. </p>
<p>A few weeks later I found out i got a 2400. They appreciated the artistic experimentation of my essay</p>
<p>For my ACT the proctor could not find a suitable timer. But there was a microwave in the room and for the first few sections he would turn on the microwave for the alloted time. The microwave was running for about 40 minutes! I almost started banging my head on the desk because of the noise. </p>
<p>Needless to say the proctor got in trouble and they brought a real timer after the first two sections! I got a 28 :)</p>
