wat are number 3 pencils? lol. I think I've never seen those before... ;)
Harder then #2. More clay and less graphite. They won't make as dark of a mark.

A girl in my 3rd grade class had to use #3 pencils because she pressed down too hard with a regular #2 and her writing was sooo dark. I saved my class in 4th grade because my teacher gave us number 3 pencils for the MCAS [my state's standardized test] and about a quarter of the way through the test i noticed that my pencil said 3 on it so my teacher had to let us use our own pencils.

I found it pretty easy. There was so many reading sections, and they were all the same format. That got boring. Then there were 3 math sections, which were pretty easy. I also found the essay simple to respond to.

I got a good score on my essay, but I took the whole 20 (or 25) minutes writing it. I forgot to use examples from literature and used my own experiences... Does anyone ever do pre-writing (brainstorming) before the essay? I know I don't

I took the Bio-M and the Math Level 2 yesterday. I think they both went pretty well... The Bio was on the easier side, compared to all the practice ones I've taken. The Math didn't have the usual one question on matrices, which was surprising (but made me very happy, since I don't know ANYTHING about matrices).

My essay on the SAT was about Scio :D
The question was something like "Do you agree or disagree that to work well together, people must work independently?"
So I wrote about Scio and how for the team to succeed, each person much independently study his or her events. Then I wrote about a book by Asimov called "Nightfall".
I got a 10 out of 12 :D
