SAT Subject Test: Things You Should Know + Test Day Procedures

Hey all,
Just wanted to make a quick post about SAT subject tests since I took it my first time today. I hard SAT 2 Math 2 and Bio M. I'm not going to write much about the actual tests themselves because other people aren't done with it but I just want to give you some test day advice. Wish I had known these before I actually took it.


  1. You get to choose which subject test you want to take first. 
  2. You can basically choose the subject you want to take on the test day. It is not a big deal at all if you want to take a different subject test.
  3. You can only take up to 3 subject tests per day.
  4. Everyone that takes a subject test will sit in the same room, working on different subjects.
  5. For math, you can only use one calculator at a time.
  6. Don't forget to bring your passport (if you're from a different country than where you plan to take the test)
  7. PACE YOURSELF. I cannot say this enough.
  8. Bring a jacket. My test center was freezing cold. 

And that's about all I can think of right now. I'm going to go chillax and play some Sims 3 now.

P.S. Math was easier than I expected but Bio was seriously hard as f---!.
Anyways hope some of the points above helped you.

Good luck!

First Day of School Today


Its my first day of school as a junior today. I didn't sleep well last night because... well, I just don't sleep well ever so I was so groggy and tired at school today. Plus, my contacts suck. I just never had a good vision with contacts on. Anyways, first day of school was just so-so. Everything pretty much felt the same except 1)my classes are wayy more challenging this year 2)so many of my friends have left school 3)the dynamic in the classes are different.

I only had 4 out of my 8 classes today. And here's a little recap of them
Block A- Mandarin 3: didn't do much. conversed in Chinese with my teacher about summer.
Block B- American Hist: pretty much like World Geo except that the people in this class is less boring. Still, its Mr. T so that always sucks. stupid, boring, lame collage about "myself" and an essay for homework.
Block C- Physics: great long chat with V about Harry Potter because we are just that awesome. Mr. N is pretty much the same except his new classroom got 5 times cooler. We actually have lab tables and stools now.
Block D- AP Eng. Composition: I was totally fascinated by Mr. J. He is a really good speaker. In fact, he talked for the whole period without any guidelines. He just talked and talked and talked about books, AP exams, goals, and class. I'm really worried about AP English now since I'm not a very good writer. Oh please, hope that it is not too hard.

Student Council meeting: talked about plans about lock-in and clothing drive. Had a much better time at the meeting compared to last year's.

Will give a review of Thai, Honors Precal, World View, and AP Bio tomorrow.
