Hi! If there's any new spam it would have to be from an old account that didn't get banned the first time. I'll look into that.

Anyway, I'm back in CO from anywhere from a few weeks to a few months depending on a few different factors, the main one being my job search. I'll get caught up on all forum related stuff tomorrow night at the latest.

And, to go a bit more indepth on mute's answer to Opal. SATs are one of the two main standardized tests that colleges/universities/etc look at when you apply. The other test is the ACTs. Some places only look at one or the other, some look at both. Your scores help determin whether you get into the college and can also play a roll in schlorships.

Konbanwa!

I totally died these days. * sigh* I'll pop in and check on the roleplays now and then, but yeah, busy time for me. APs at school, and another SAT in June. Crazy things...

Oh, and while we're on the subject of SATs...
The SAT Reasoning test has a maximum score of 2400. It has three major sections: critical reading, writing/grammar, and mathematics. And then there's the essay. Each of the three major sections has a maximum score of 800. The essay can get a total of 12 points, which is a seperate subscore. Kinda. I think. And it affects your writing/grammar score. Oh, and the test is 10 sections long, and all the sections are timed. @.@
I know pretty much nothing about the ACT. I just know that it requires higher math levels than the SAT and that it includes a science section. And the essay is optional. Only colleges expect you to write the essay anyway. So...that sucks.
And then along with the SAT Reasoning, there are various SAT Subject tests. Which are, as the name suggests, SATs focusing on one subject. These include various languages, mathematics, sciences, and history.There's also an English SAT Subject test. The total score on these is 800, and it's all multiple choice. The language tests have a listening section though, so that requires a working CD player and earphones. And charged batteries would probably be good too. Universities of California require at least two SAT subject tests in completely different areas; for example, Biology E/M and Chinese. Private schools require three tests, but they can all be science or something like that.

...I just wrote a rant about tests...I'm so ashamed...

Hi! Actually, SATs and ACTs are optional, but if you want to get into college you'll probably have to take at least one. The only mandatory stuff here is achievement tests which you take every year or two.

I posted my friend code in pokémon! Looking forward to trading and battling with people.

I'll be posting a lot of RPs and stuff sometime tonight. Now that I'm home I'd like to get things moving again. Plus, I've got an idea for something new...

Hi

*pant pant*

Dam, did a very big post in ROM that I've been meaning to do for a long time now. At least since it went of vacation here.

Anyway, I'll try and get some more done with other RP's if I can and even on my stories this weekend.

Heso!

okay so out of pure curiosity to see if it still worked I got my SNES thats just been sitting there for the past few months and plugged it in and set it up and Behold the thing still works!
Okay so this SNES is about 12 years old and last time I played it I had trouble getting the picture to show on the TV because of the cable clot was strange and the thing wouldn't stay in poperly, and if the SNES got bumped it would freeze, mind you it still does but its sitting on the floor so less chance of that happening now.

And last but not least I beat dad at tetris! First time in my life have I beaten him, cool huh?...

Okay so I think it's cool, but still, It works, now to see if I can find Secret of Mana.

We bring you greetings from Lazer.

In Florida, we have what's called the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test) that you have to take every year starting with 3rd grade. It continues until 10th grade, which is the FCAT you need to pass in order to graduate from High School.

The last FCAT is the 11th grade science test.
