So I go in for the ACCUPLACER tomorrow.

Post by RyaNtheSlayA »

...and I'm scared shitless. I normally am never really all that excited or scared before tests but this test is going to be the make or break your life test for me. I'm trying to get out of highschool 2 years early, and this test basically says if I can go down the path I want to in life, and if I don't pass, that means 2 more years of being spoonfed information that's largely useless and dealing with the most stupid people on the planet. Anyway, I'm very good with language and writing, but math, that's what worries me most. I'm horrible at math, I used to love it, but now I just suck. It's one of those things where if you haven't learned or practiced it at all, you're pretty much screwed.

I guess I'm just rambling trying to let off some stress.

IF you fail, can't you just take it again? I'm in a similar boat, I have to sign up to take the A+ Cert exams soon. I think it's like $160, so I REALLY don't want to fail.

Good luck, nonetheless.

Yeah I can take it again, but I really wouldn't want to, and it could mean another year in high school for me, which is bullshit.

No matter where you go or what you do, you'll still be surrounded by the most stupid people on the planet!

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

It's probably worth taking it at least twice. Just having a little practice on a test format can really boost your scores. I hope you've taken some of the practice tests.

I have. I'm fairly confident that I'll do well, except for math... damnit I hate math.

Don't worry Ryan, you can always fall back on your Saturn 2 idea.

Good luck!

And Ryan, excuse my ignorance but what exactly is the ACCUPLACER? How did you find out about it? Where do you go to take it? Edify me! :D
