Chapter 292 Familiar Test Questions

"Come on! Dude, you're the best! After you finish the test, we'll go eat your favorite roast suckling pig. The tender little piglet is shaking its pink tender to our little genius at Brownie's." Little trotter~"

"Oh, Dad, there are so many people here, don't. I won't tell you, I'm advanced to the examination room!"

On January 1981, 1, outside the examination room of Mercer University in Macon, many young people gathered here, waiting for the start of the sat test.Faced with the SAT, which is called the American version of the college entrance examination, many young students, including their families, behaved no differently from their previous lives in China.

After all, it can be said that it is one of the most important tests in a child's life, and going to college is also a heavy burden for the family, so it is not a trivial matter.There are always college tuition fees, and people naturally hope that their children will get higher test scores and apply to better colleges.

It's just that compared to taking the college entrance examination in China in his previous life, Carter, who was squatting by the flower bed outside the examination room, can still clearly feel that the atmosphere here is much more relaxed than in China.
Compared with the Chinese college entrance examination, which is a life-long test, the American SAT test, as mentioned earlier, is only a very important reference index and does not play a decisive role.Similarly, as long as they are not afraid of burning money, American students can take the exam again and again, seven exams a year, even if only the eleventh and twelfth grades are counted, this is enough to take the exam 14 times, and then take the highest score up!

Under such a background, although the atmosphere around the examination room is similar to the previous Chinese college entrance examination, in fact, it is much more relaxed.

Except for a few parents who are free and caring, most of the candidates are like Carter, driving their own cars, and coming by beeping.A few big-hearted guys, plus Carter, squatted on the side of the road, quietly watching the candidate named Brownie and laughing
"What a baby!"

"Who said no, hey, exams, exams, it's so annoying! Hey, buddy, can I have a cigarette?"

Suddenly, one of the young men squatting coldly stood up and shouted at Carter.After taking the cigarette thrown by Carter, the little brother talked to Carter quite familiarly.

"Thanks, buddy! Gehrman, Gehrman Daslin! How many times have you taken the exam?"

"the first time!"

After exchanging names, Carter looked back at Ma Baonan and answered casually.

"The first time?! Wow, why are you so confused, you want to choose the first exam in this cold season. Does the spring breeze in May make your skin itchy?"

"Because the application season is over soon, if you don't take the exam, you will lose your grade!"

Carter shrugged helplessly.For many American high school students, the time to take the SAT for the first time is generally in the spring of the 10th grade, which is the first year of high school.Even in some four-year high schools, this time is often accelerated to 9th grade. (same volume as the volume)

Then take the exam for the second time in the next year, and this time you will get a score!Generally, as long as the SAT score reaches 1500 or above, they will temporarily put down their test preparation work and shift their energy to other standardized tests such as AP, GPA and other exams, as well as various campus activities and extracurricular activities.

The progress of these activities and projects is also related to whether they can get an admission notice from a good university.Compared with the practice of Chinese candidates who "keep their ears off the window and only read the test books", Carter has to admit that American students generally mature earlier than Chinese students in terms of learning to make personal plans.

In the situation that many people don't know what their goals are until they enter college, these American students are almost 15 years old, when they just stepped into high school, they need to make a plan for themselves.For example, which year will I mainly do what and what to accomplish; which university I want to apply to, what are their strong subjects, what aspects should the application requirements focus on, etc.
All these miscellaneous things require American students to think clearly and make a clear plan for their high school life.Otherwise, it would be Carter.
"Huh? Dude, are you sure you're not joking? You're in twelfth grade?"

Gehrman and his friends were stunned.The look in Carter's eyes is no less than that of Carter's previous life in the examination room, when he handed in the test papers for certain subjects and left in advance.
"Hmmmm~"

Carter snorted, without the slightest embarrassment that an older candidate should have.

"Heiburou! You know that it will take more than 10 days for the SAT to be released, right?"

"University applications usually close on February 2th, and you have to go to various cities to attend possible interviews"

"Also, are your application materials ready? You actually plan to pass the test of the recommendation letter! Dude, you are too fierce!"

"I know, I'm getting ready. Well, guys, I'm ready to enter the exam room!"

Originally, the college application season was rather hectic, but after being pushed by these chattering brats, the irritability became even heavier.Seeing the door of the examination room open, Carter quickly got up and threw off these passers-by who could only shout 666 in the novel to set off the protagonist's awesome Klaas.
But it's very strange, because Mao's family is supporting the protagonist, and when it comes to me
never mind!

Some didn't, I was thinking about doing it under the seat of the examination room.After the invigilator announces the discipline of the examination room, hand out the papers and open the papers!
"One's life is always making all kinds of decisions."

"Some of these decisions seem trivial - whether it's reading a book or not going to a party - while there are clearly other, more important decisions. But even important decisions, even with potentially serious consequences, should not be taken lightly Or ignore the small decisions. These small decisions may have the biggest impact on our lives!"

"Will small decisions bring about major consequences? Take this as the topic, plan and write an article, combine your reading, experience, observation and research, and use logical reasoning and practical cases to prove your argument!"

After reading the first question, Carter touched his chin, and a familiar feeling came to his heart.The first question directly brought Carter's thoughts back to the days when he was bombarded by more than a dozen essays a week, or propositional essays, semi-propositional essays, topical essays, material essays, etc.
Except for the language difference, this topic can hardly be said to be similar, it is completely the same!

"Composition on the topic! What are we going to do, explain the argument~"

"Don't talk nonsense at the beginning, just point out the point of view you want to express, and then what? Less! Reduce language, reduce words, and three lines are better!"

"Don't write a lot at the beginning. If you write so much, who will read it? I have a headache when I correct the papers. Think about how many copies the college entrance examination marking teacher has to correct."

The words that the Chinese teacher once emphasized on test-taking skills during the review stage of the college entrance examination, under the stimulation of this similar topic, instantly appeared in Carter's mind.

While feeling the care of the old grandson for himself, Carter raised the pen
　This question comes from the North American SAT test paper that I forgot for a few months in 2010. I did it when I was bored.Then I was deeply impressed. I have never actually taken the SAT test. According to the information I found, it is said that there was no writing project before 05.

　　I'm not very clear about this, so let's take the exam with writing items later on for the time being.
