PSAT today. And I won't be there. Which is actually a good thing, because I'd never be a merit scholar, and tests freak me out quite a bit, so what's the point? I got sick during the ACT. I think I have test anxiety. I mean, it's weird, because I took standardized tests every year as a kid and I did MathCounts which is just a lot of tests and I never had a problem, but there's something about the fact that these tests are actually /hard/ and they really /matter/ that freaks me out.
Funny story: I actually thought that if you went to the bathroom during the middle of a test segment they wouldn't let you finish, so I sat there, waiting for a break, trying (and failing) to finish my test before I decided that I /needed/ to go puke my guts out. So I sat in the bathroom puking and then I just hung out there for a while because I figured they wouldn't let me finish my test once I got back in because I so easily could have cheated. And then I'm walking back to the room and the lady's like "oh, come on, you have five minutes left". >.> Surprisingly, I still got an acceptable score... Except for the fact that I did better in the English section than the math. That was just weird...
"I decided that I /needed/ to go puke my guts out."
What?
It isn't worth worrying about. If you really are worried, go ask for classes and additional practice test. Besides, it's a practice test. It doesn't mean anything.
In general they don't care. I went to the Holocaust Museum in Israel with my camp a few years back. The common topic upon coming out?
The cheesecake factory.
