California Achievement Test (CAT)

First i would like to say that it is really stupid and yet good that we use California's standards since they SUCK. I took the 8th grade one today and it was really easy. To start we had to check in then take our seats. I was sitting next to Connor (the one with face hair) and Shellie. I was talking to them for about 20 minutes since the tester guy was late. Then it started. The subjects were (i think) Reading comprehension, Math, Math concepts, Vocabulary, Grammar stuff, and 1 other thing i cant remember. To do the test easily all you needed were basic math skills (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, percentages, and fractions) and common sense and you were pretty much good. There were a couple times when I was glad I had gone over punctuation with my mom. The thing I had the hardest time with was Reading comprehension just because I had to read the paragraphs several times over and was worried about running out of time. Sure enough, I finished the last question 30 seconds before time ended. I was WAY over prepared for the math stuff. I was worried about not having done percentages in about 2 years. As it turns out there was only 1 really easy problem that i had no problem with. It was really funny there was this 10 year old reading his calculus book in the breaks for fun. He was also taking the 8th grade test, and was usually first to finish. I guess he just another child prodigy. I almost forgot to mention that i woke up at 6:20 this morning and went to sleep at 11 last night. Lucky for me they had lots of sugar on hand. =D
