Next week is my favorite week of the school year, SAT week! Now you may be wondering why would someone like to take tests that decide how you compare to other kids your age and what high school programs you will take. My reasons are very simple; FOOD, FOOD, and more FOOD! Now you're probably wondering how does food apply to SAT's? Well lets just go through a normal SAT testing day.
First thing is that you should get a good night's sleep and eat a healthy breakfast to come mentally prepared for testing. The next thing is as soon as flag is over, everyone goes to the assigned classroom and get in their seat. For SAT's everyone needs to use number 2 pencils that are provided from the school. So you get your pencils and then take about 2 hours a day to do testing and then when you are finished you have to silently read a book at your desk. This is another reason I like testing, you get to read. I like this factor because I do Language Arts reading extra credit and getting to read my book for about 45 minutes everyday helps me finish my book early on in the month. So after everyone is done testing Mrs. Hewitt will call over the intercom that everyone's done and you can leave the class room and head out to break. At break is where the food comes in! Everyday you are offered a different snack. Usually the snacks are donuts, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, and Twinkies. Then on the last day of testing everyone gets ice cream sundaes with whatever you want on top! That is amazing to someone who loves food! So after you eat your snack we then go to play practice the rest of the day!
Another reason I love testing is because that week we don't have any tests or homework! having no homework is so good when you have like 2 hours every night with added studying depending on which test is coming up. So I'm so excited for next week, my favorite week of the school year; SAT testing week!
