I enjoy following politics, so I know who most of the US Senators are. It's really useful in Quiz Bowl, too!TheGenius wrote:How do you know that Jerry Moran is a Kansas senator when I when I've never heard of him?Luo wrote: At first I didn't get that because I thought it had something to do with insulting Jerry Moran (Senator from Kansas).

Heck, all I know about Moran is that he puts up really obnoxious signs on the side of the road come election time.

) from freshman year. Frankly, they kind of sucked -- I bombed the science portion, of all things! I've scored consistently - if twice of two times counts as consistently - high on the English/writing sections of standardized tests, though.
Haha, I know what you mean - when I took the PSAT this year as a sophomore I did worst on the math section because I misbubbled 4 answerschia wrote:Our sophomore class was required to take the ACT (I think it was just a practice one, though) this April. Our teachers told us we'd get our scores back before the year ended, but we didn't, and I really want to know :/
I was looking over my PLAN and PSAT scores (I've never taken any actual SAT/ACT besides the aforementioned ACT, and I'm going into junior year
Even though I've always been decent at math, I am just awful at math tests. I have the tough concepts down - it's my addition and subtraction I have trouble with! 
Hehe, I have the same problem. I'm taking Physics as a summer class right now in college (not fun >.>), and I got an 85 on the first exam. Now, that's not bad, considering that we're going blindingly fast and physics isn't really my strong suit, but there was one question that I lost 6 points on. I spent around an hour just on that question, and I finally thought I knew what to do, but when I plugged my answer back in, it wasn't working, so I assumed that I was wrong so I just picked some other method and got it wrong, giving me half credit. Turns out that I did it completely right the first time, but I got the wrong answer because I kept putting that 400 + 480 was 980, and it skewed my answer. So I can understand the complicated procedures, but I can't add 400 and 480 together in my head >.>chia wrote:Nah, my problem is the other kind of stupid mistake: misreading the questions and/or answers.
