Indeed.

Why did you guys have a late start?

TAKS (Texas of Knowledge and Skills) Testing...standardized testing basically.

[Localonthe8s]

Is the test easy? A lot people say Texas, Iowa and Tennessee have the some of the easiest standardized tests in the nation.

The ISAT (Iowa State Acheivement Test) is rather easy.  I took that back in Elementary and Middle school.

yeah. its very easy...though after 2009 the TAKS Test will be discontinued and end of the course exams will be replacing it...which is said to be a lot harder than the TAKS.

also - in February i upgraded and bought a new phone:

a sony ericsson W580i



they're amazing phones, but beware of the following possible problems (if you're considering):

-LCD Breaking
-Keys Cracking
- + More

just recently, my LCD on that phone broke, and it's costing me $129 to fix it. i'd recommend getting insurance.

i'm basically broke (as in out of money) now. haha eh.

On Thursday I'm going to take the science TAKS. BTW, I need 80% or higher to passed it. I don't like that passing grade. I prefer 60%.

I took the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment, one of the hardest state-mandated tests in the nation) Science section today and yesterday. Yesterday was easy (global warming, earth, bio stuff, etc), but today had a lot of advanced chemistry, and I'm not to good there.

BTW, it's now a state law in PA that a student must score no lower than "Proficient" in Math, Writing and Reading (a science requirement law is near) to graduate. On the PSSA's, you can score the following:

Advanced
Proficient
Basic
Below Basic

Every Pennsylvania student in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11 is assessed in reading and math.  Every Pennsylvania student in grades 5, 8 and 11 is assessed in writing. The 11th grade scores determines your graduation eligibility.

In My Opinion, Learning The Subject (Like Bar Graphs, Pie Charts, Some Otehr Work) Is Harder than taking a test with the things u learned.

In the 11th grade PSSAs, I believe I got Advanced on the reading section and Proficient in math. I'm just glad I got out before the science section was added.
