this is an official scan of the essay i wrote for the SATs. i just remembered that i can't really let you in on the question (it's in the rules) but i'm pretty sure you can get an idea just by reading the essay. it got me a score of 8, out of a perfect score of 12, with two raters each giving me a score of 4 (naturally, out of a perfect 6). apologies for the unusually unruly penmanship, i was wielding a trusty yet slightly alien #2 pencil.
the topic of my SATs came from a little minor discussion on a forum i habit - you can say they were trying to up each other's scores (so far no one has topped my 1800) so i went back to good ol' collegeboard.com and after overcoming minor amnesia with regards to my password (forgot that i needed to use a number) i saw my scores, and to my amusement, scans of my essay, which you can see up there. i was tremendously amused, although i have this nagging feeling that i've already seen it before, because it brought back memories of that cold december morning in brent mamplasan, where i took the SATs with a bunch of foreign kids. oh, and mel aka lisa. familiar faces always bring relief.
my hopes of the SAT scores still being of some use are still up. it does feel kinda cool and special (the non-retarded kind) to be part of a group of few people here in this country, a land of college-specific entrance exams, who can say that they actually have internationally-recognized scores to boast.
good mornin'.
