Please stop wasting my time.

Btw, it turns out on the SAT it read 21 instead of 217 on the free response so I'm telling them to rescore it.

What are you talking about? The SAT doesn't have free-response questions.

And I recommend you stop wasting your own time.

No, Ted, you can't take a page of the test booklet, even if it is wrong...


By the way, Adam, I think the world is dying to know whether you were able to squeek by in McFarlane's class, and all your other grades.

Ah crap. You're right. Let's just say that it's been a while since the SAT and I last met. Unfortunatly it won't be so long before we meet again. By the way, do any of you think that it's worth taking the PSAT? The only decent thing that I know about it is that it can qualify you for National Merit Scholarships (hence the NMSQT part of the name). There's also this research thing for which I'm thinking of applying that might require it.

I actually don't think I've gotten my report card yet (I'm CA temporarily, so I don't know). I better have gotten all As or there will be hell to pay. Actually not really. But if I don't get all As I will go to school and demand to see the percentages themselves. I know I have all As unless I bombed my physics final (I would need something on the order of less than 60% after the curve).

I managed to get McFarlane to like me a fair amount in the last few weeks of school, so that may help. As you know Maxwell, I was really pushing it in McFarlane. I was struggling severely throught the entire year. Somehow I managed to ace most of the tests, but I don't know... it was rough. At least I didn't make the mistake of skipping the last page of the Ch. 9 test. That would have ended my grade... if it's not toast already :)

Ted, how did they miss the 7?

I didn't fill the bubble in all the way.
