Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 03:04:58 AM So over the next 2 weeks our school gets to take the CAT6 every Tuesday and Thursday. The only thing good about that is that I get out on 12:30 on those days, but I do have to go to practice. We already did that stupid lame ass goal setting. I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't do better even though I got Advanced in all categories that I tested in. I think Kevin only got better in math b/c he had Geo. and I had Alg. II, but w/e. Anyway I just wanted to say that this is a pain in the butt. The only thing worse is the CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam).
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 03:09:56 AM an exit exam? you have to take an exam to exit school? LOL
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 03:30:13 AM Yes...I could have taken that in 7th grade, but they choose to give it to us in 10th b/c other people are so dumb.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 03:34:54 AM which one? the CAT6 or the CAHSEE?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 03:36:58 AM Well both of them but I was talking about the CAHSEE. If everyone could get out of high school knowing the subject matter on that test I fear for all.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Lord Lanair on April 16, 2004, 03:52:05 AM I praise New York for only having Regents' at the end of most class. LOL
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 04:49:55 AM <_< tell them to make the math B exam easier so i can ace it :P
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:29:38 AM What is math B?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:31:24 AM the second year-and-a-half long high school math course in NYS. it's got a bunch of algebra, trig, statistics, trig, and trig :P
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:32:27 AM So it's like Algebra II honors I guess eh?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:34:29 AM i...suppose....whatever that is :P
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:36:11 AM Anyway the CAT6 is some easy ish too. It's kind of pathetic that I'm stuck in the state with all of the dumb kids.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:37:30 AM oh don't worry, every state gets the rotten eggs <_<
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:45:07 AM No but they make those dumbass commercials when there are elections about how the new governer would raise testing scores and w/e.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:46:19 AM yep, just like NY :P
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:47:18 AM But California is like in the lower half of the testing category.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:48:24 AM oh....hmm....i guess that sucks for california then :P
at least you get to look like a supergenious :D Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:50:15 AM I know, but that sucks b/c then people label you as smart and then they ask you tons of questions just b/c of that label. I don't want to deal w/ them b/c all of the questions are moronic b/c they come from morons.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:51:07 AM LOL i get that alot too, especially in chemistry class :miffed:
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:51:56 AM Are you taking AP?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:53:03 AM well...i'm taking chem a year early...there isn't a honors chemistry :(
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:55:04 AM No AP at all??!!? :/ weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrd. Anyway I was going to tell you not to take it b/c it's hard.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:56:19 AM there is AP for some courses, but not chem :(
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 05:58:05 AM Regular chem is hecka easy, but then when you get to AP it's too much memorization. I have like 4 pages of ions, oxidizing/reducing agents, solubility rules, and reactions to memorize.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:59:25 AM ouch...that sucks...:blink:
they make the chemistry regents really hard though :( Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 06:09:13 AM Is it just like multiple choice?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: matt_the_shark on April 16, 2004, 05:23:20 PM some of it is, but there's alot of calculation stuff too. i havn't taken it yet but i've heard it's one of the harder regents to take
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Uber Peasant on April 16, 2004, 07:35:55 PM too bad it doesnt have a reference table that you can use for the whole test like earth science....
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: RipperRoo on April 16, 2004, 07:42:00 PM Oohh oohh, new guy! Can we poke it?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: FragMaster1972 on April 16, 2004, 07:47:43 PM Depends. Think it bites?
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Perdition on April 16, 2004, 07:50:20 PM i would hope so :P
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: FragMaster1972 on April 16, 2004, 07:55:59 PM well, seeing as how you're into that stuff <_< you poke it first! just in case. LOL

Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Uber Peasant on April 16, 2004, 09:39:07 PM *eats the cookie*
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 16, 2004, 11:57:48 PM Quote too bad it doesnt have a reference table that you can use for the whole test like earth science.... We have a reference thing...but the stuff that is on it doesn't really cover it all. Title: Standardized Testing Post by: evilknight on April 17, 2004, 01:20:36 AM you complain too much.
we have tests like that... EVERY FUCKING YEAR!!! north carolina is filled with sadistic bitches who thought it would be funny to give us about 10,000 tests at the end of the year on stuff that we learned two years ago (that means we've forgotten) Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Uber Peasant on April 17, 2004, 01:37:14 AM ouch....
i remember in like 4th grade we had things like the terranova and ugh the stupid ELAs that never want to stop appering, its like every other year we take them. so many $%*@)#^@ english tests and there is too much writing Title: Standardized Testing Post by: evilknight on April 17, 2004, 01:48:55 AM *sigh* i have to take a damn writing test every year to. <_<
and also, i recently found out that the government is adding an essay portion to the SAT (basically the SAT decides wether or not I go to a decent college, just for those who dont know) Title: Standardized Testing Post by: underruler on April 17, 2004, 01:51:38 AM I hate writing tests. Especially timed essays; I'm not as dumb as other people in English, but it is quite a bit more challenging than the other shiz.
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Saladin on April 17, 2004, 02:04:40 AM we only have the Regents in NY
Title: Standardized Testing Post by: evilknight on April 17, 2004, 02:22:22 AM yeah, i know.
actually, i think like north carolina and only a few other states actually do these end of course tests. most states don't bother, cause you know, they're sane. ;) Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Uber Peasant on April 17, 2004, 02:52:53 AM someone in thier right mind should run the education system, and make these tests better. like a student. but then that wouldnt work, cause they would do something stupid like allow teachers to be beaten up. some SMART sho0uld run education.
essay on SAT is so darn stupid.... Title: Standardized Testing Post by: Lord Lanair on April 17, 2004, 04:09:20 AM Quote north carolina is filled with sadistic bitches who thought it would be funny to give us about 10,000 tests at the end of the year on stuff that we learned two years ago (that means we've forgotten) North Carolina is also where some of our tests are graded.
