 [02:58]  Same [02:59]  The first draft of /anything/ is absolute crap [02:59]  It's why I hate the SAT/ACT essays [02:59]  Agreed, I have many assignments like that though too. [02:59]  to grade someone based on a first draft is outrageously unfair [02:59]  Essays for standardized tests are idiotic [02:59]  though tbh i have turned in rough drafts and made perfect scores [02:59]  Plus it helps when your professors are all brilliant and fun people that can guide you properly [02:59]  when I took the ACT I did the test with no essay [02:59]  because i never write second drafts [03:00]  Tho I knew I was going to community college, so when I transfer, they won't even look at my ACT [03:00]  act writing?? [03:00]  that's my favorite. :P [03:00]  the essay portion? [03:00]  why? [03:01] <HyperFlash Studios> I live [03:01] <TeeTeeTim88> because they expect everyone to do terrible [03:01] <NXTein1996> The essays were so stupid... [03:01] <TeeTeeTim88> so if you even put in the slightest amount of effort [03:01] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> you don't say, Hype? [03:01] <TeeTeeTim88> you'll make a perfect score [03:01] <Impossibubbles> There's no possible way to not do terrible [03:01] <TeeTeeTim88> I made a 6 on mine. :P [03:01] <Impossibubbles> Not true [03:01] <Impossibubbles> I took an ACT prep course [03:01] <HyperFlash Studios> I do say, Salt (derp3) [03:01] <TeeTeeTim88> same. :P [03:01] <Impossibubbles> and all the practice tests had an essay portion [03:01] <HyperFlash Studios> Oh, did you change your avvie back? :P [03:01] <Impossibubbles> I tried my very hardest. I put all I could into those essays [03:02] <Impossibubbles> And I scored very low [03:02] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> About time I did [03:02] <Impossibubbles> so when it was time to take the real ACT, I said screw it, and refused to do the essay [03:02] <TeeTeeTim88> Meh [03:02] <TeeTeeTim88> It's not a big deal [03:02] <TeeTeeTim88> Nobody really requires the ssay except ivy leagues and private universities [03:02] <Keplers> &gt;nobody [03:02] <Keplers> excuse me [03:02] <Keplers> lol [03:02] <Keplers> everyone big does [03:02] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> all the ones I applied to did [03:03] <NXTein1996> Same [03:03] <TeeTeeTim88> where all did you apply?? [03:03] <TeeTeeTim88> :P [03:03] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> USC, Clemson, Georgia Tech, MIT, and Yale :P [03:03] <Keplers> Texas A&amp;M, Rice, Chicago, and Yale [03:03] <TeeTeeTim88> those are all really good universities :P [03:03] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> the real usc, tee [03:03] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> not the fake one [03:03] <NXTein1996> Oakland, Duke, Stanford, Penn, Hillsdale [03:03] <Keplers> Ehhh some of these are mediocre [03:03] <Impossibubbles> It didn't matter for me tho. Because once you have a college transcript, when you transfer, no school requires you to produce an SAT/ACT score or a high school transcript [03:03] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> per kep [03:03] <TeeTeeTim88> ^^what i'm doing imposs [03:04] <TeeTeeTim88> What I did* [03:04] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> I chose USC because I won't be in debt after graduation (derp4) [03:04] <TeeTeeTim88> I ditched my HS gpa did rly good in my freshman and sophmore year of college [03:04] <Impossibubbles> So I'm finishing up at community college rn [03:04] <TeeTeeTim88> applied to USC, UCLA, columbia, texasA&amp;M, UC Berk, calpol, ohio state [03:04] <TeeTeeTim88> got offered admission to almost all [03:04] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> *fake usc [03:04] <Impossibubbles> I have to take a few extra classes to pick up an associates xD [03:05] <NXTein1996> More like ew Ohio [03:05] <Keplers> I'm applying to Yale just to frame the acceptance letter and give their communist butts a huge middle finger [03:05] <Impossibubbles> Plus I'd like my transcript to say I graduated with honors, so [03:05] <TeeTeeTim88> ohio state is great for architecture :P [03:05] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> I almost applied to The Citadel, but... [03:05] <Keplers> Then keep my framed acceptance letter in my A&amp;M Corps of Cadets barracks [03:05] <NXTein1996> It is. :P [03:05] <TeeTeeTim88> i'm an architecture/math major [03:05] <Impossibubbles> I've already applied to a few schools [03:05] <NXTein1996> Ayyy another Math major! [03:05] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> noice [03:05] <Impossibubbles> I really wanted to go to University of Minnesota [03:05] <Impossibubbles> I got accepted [03:06] <Impossibubbles> Just don't have the funds, so, oh well [03:06] <TeeTeeTim88> any of fellow math majors take topology yet then?? :P [03:06] <HyperFlash Studios> Hi Slice [03:06] <TeeTeeTim88> Im so scared. :P [03:06] <Slicer Vorzakh> hi [03:06] <NXTein1996> I've yet to take Topology myself [03:06] <TeeTeeTim88> I've heard it's incredibly hard and I'm taking it next semester. :P [03:06] <Impossibubbles> I'm done with math forever thank GOD [03:06] <TeeTeeTim88> I'm horrid at math. :P [03:06] <TeeTeeTim88> And I'm a math major. :P [03:07] <Impossibubbles> but...why [03:07] <NXTein1996> I've always been strong in math, not my favorite subject but it is important for my plans [03:07] <TeeTeeTim88> When I took the ACT [03:07] <TeeTeeTim88> My math was only 27 [03:07] <NXTein1996> That was me the first time... [03:08] <TeeTeeTim88> I made a 33eng,32reading and 34 sci [03:08] <TeeTeeTim88> not that it really mattered :P [03:08] <TeeTeeTim88> because I started at a community college :P [03:08] <NXTein1996> Those are still good scores tho [03:08] <Impossibubbles> My math score was very low, which sucked, because my English was a 35 and my Reading was a 32. And then science was really low [03:08] <Impossibubbles> so [03:08] <Impossibubbles> brought down the whole thing xD [03:09] <TeeTeeTim88> The science is so dumb. :P [03:09] <Impossibubbles> I know [03:09] <TeeTeeTim88> It's not even actually science. :P [03:09] <Keplers> My math was a 26 but my English and Science are 36s [03:09] <Impossibubbles> yeah [03:09] <Keplers> Science is just reading comprehension with charts XD [03:09] <NXTein1996> Per Keps [03:09] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> yeah, science is the easiest section (XD) [03:09] <NXTein1996> It's literally basic analysis [03:09] <Impossibubbles> But yeah, I ended up with only a 25 because sucky math and science [03:09] <Keplers> "Can you match figure 2 to experiment 1 and the correct answer" [03:09] <Keplers> "you're so smarrrrt" [03:09] <Impossibubbles> but it doesn't matter anymore cuz community college :P [03:09] <Keplers> "real STEM master here" [03:09] <TeeTeeTim88> It's jsut the time they give you [03:09] <Keplers> "go into theoretical physics" [03:09] <TeeTeeTim88> You get like what [03:10] <TeeTeeTim88> 35 minutes for science now?? [03:10] <Impossibubbles> The problem for me was [03:10] <Keplers> you have like 45sec/question [03:10] <Impossibubbles> by the time I got to science, I was tired and almost falling asleep xD [03:10] <Impossibubbles> And I was so over the test [03:10] <TeeTeeTim88> It's a long test [03:10] <Impossibubbles> and was like, screw it xD [03:10] <NXTein1996> Haha that was my problem too [03:10] <TeeTeeTim88> Especially for people who took it this year [03:10] <TeeTeeTim88> They supposedly added an extra section for testing [03:10] <Impossibubbles> Oh yeah [03:10] <TeeTeeTim88> that was like 45 minutes long?? [03:10] <Impossibubbles> when i took it there was an extra math section [03:11] <Impossibubbles> but that section wasn't counted in the score [03:11] <TeeTeeTim88> Hahaha. :P [03:11] <Impossibubbles> they were testing it or something [03:11] <TeeTeeTim88> I wish I was rich. :P [03:11] <Impossibubbles> don't most people? [03:11] <TeeTeeTim88> I got offered enrollments to good schools, but I really don't wanna be 120k in debt. :P [03:11] <Impossibubbles> Oh yeah [03:11] <TeeTeeTim88> It kind of sucks. :P [03:12] <Impossibubbles> Like I got accepted to my dream school [03:12] <Impossibubbles> and I can't pay for it [03:12] <Impossibubbles> so I can't go [03:12] <TeeTeeTim88> I mean, I got scholarships [03:12] <Impossibubbles> It doesn't matter in the long run I guess [03:12] <TeeTeeTim88> but those can only make so much of an impact [03:12] <TeeTeeTim88> and i was planning on going to grad school too :P [03:12] <TeeTeeTim88> LIKE I HAVE THE GRADES :P [03:12] <TeeTeeTim88> JUST LACK THE MONEY [03:13] <Impossibubbles> I plan on getting a job and then getting my masters [03:13] <Impossibubbles> then I'll probably go one to get a PhD [03:13] <Impossibubbles> *go on [03:13] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Oi, Kep [03:13] <TeeTeeTim88> i'm getting my masters and getting out :P [03:13] <Keplers> /yo [03:14] <TeeTeeTim88> dont wanna drop the extra what [03:14] <TeeTeeTim88> 100k?? on a PhD [03:14] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Have you heard of Cyberpunk 2077? [03:14] <Impossibubbles> Everyone and their dog has a masters, so it means nothing [03:14] <Impossibubbles> PhD is more important [03:14] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It's an upcoming game by the creators of The Witcher, set in a cyberpunk setting [03:14] <TeeTeeTim88> the thing is, i've already worked in architecture and design for 3 years :P [03:14] <NXTein1996> I'm going to use my degrees here to go to a graduates program in my field of choice, the graphic arts. [03:14] <TeeTeeTim88> I have 3 years of experience, and I will have a masters degree [03:14] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It's going to have a huge city, with people speaking different languages that require a translator implant to understand [03:14] <Keplers> I've not [03:14] <TeeTeeTim88> that will get me really anywhere I wanna go :P [03:14] <Keplers> Sounds niiice [03:14] <Impossibubbles> But the job I'm going into should keep me well funded for continuing my education [03:15] <Impossibubbles> so that's nice [03:15] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Yeah, the few things they've confirmed make it sound awesome [03:15] <TeeTeeTim88> what are you going into imposso [03:15] <Keplers> It's from them so it won't NMS [03:15] <Impossibubbles> I'm going to be a technical writer. Specifically I want to work with doctors, writing up their studies for journals and whatnot. Basically it's one of those jobs where there's a big need, and few people want to do it xD [03:16] <TeeTeeTim88> ohhh ok [03:16] <TeeTeeTim88> that sounds pretty cool [03:16] <TeeTeeTim88> I'm in a Psychology class right now [03:16] <TeeTeeTim88> 45 people [03:16] <Impossibubbles> I think it's a good fit. Apparently if i can get a medical writer job, I get to travel a lot. xD [03:16] <Impossibubbles> So that would be awesome [03:16] <TeeTeeTim88> 35/45 are radiology majors [03:17] <TeeTeeTim88> apparently that's a really big field right now [03:17] <Impossibubbles> I'm in a psychology class rn too. It's an honors class tho, so really small [03:17] <NXTein1996> It'd be awesome if I could land a position that requires travel, I want to see the world [03:17] <TeeTeeTim88> International Business major for junior+senior year, swap for graduate school [03:17] <Impossibubbles> My new life plan involved moving to Europe by my mid twenties xD [03:18] <NXTein1996> Hmm very ambitious of you XD [03:18] <TeeTeeTim88> that's what my best friend did [03:18] <Impossibubbles> I want to see the world while I'm young. I don't want to get stuck in the US for the rest of my life [03:18] <Impossibubbles> Gotta take some risks [03:18] <NXTein1996> Yeah me too, and I agree [03:18] <TeeTeeTim88> He got to visit a ton of places right after he graduated, then went back to grad school for architecture [03:18] <TeeTeeTim88> and international business is really versatile [03:19] <Impossibubbles> I want to go to Germany. I know basic German. I wish to immerse myself in the language [03:19] <TeeTeeTim88> Idk I'm kinda biased it's really cool though. :P [03:19] <Impossibubbles> Then perhaps I can find work there [03:19] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> kek [03:20] <NXTein1996> Germany would be a cool place. For me it depends on where I end up... [03:20] <Impossibubbles> anyway a writing professor suggested technical writing to me, just because of how versatile it is. [03:20] <TeeTeeTim88> I'm hopefully Canada bound. :P [03:20] <Impossibubbles> Like I could find work anywhere [03:20] <NXTein1996> Like it depends on what type of graphic art/film animation stuff I'm doing [03:20] <TeeTeeTim88> born midwest, university california, grad school canada [03:20] <Impossibubbles> lol tho, I'll probably have to sneak out of the country against the will of my parents (as) [03:21] <Impossibubbles> "You're going closer to ISIS??????"

[03:28] <NXTein1996> How did it not pass? [03:28] <Impossibubbles> I legitimately thought it was unblocked [03:29] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> HOW DID THEY NOT PASS? [03:29] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> (UD) [03:29] <Impossibubbles> Random inactive people showed up to tip the vote [03:29] <NXTein1996> tsk tsk [03:29] <Keplers> Hmm [03:29] <Impossibubbles> 18 to 21 [03:29] <Keplers> How does this [03:29] <Keplers> sound [03:29] <Impossibubbles> a real shame [03:29] <Keplers> familiar [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> Sat [03:29] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Same reason that "autistic" is unblocked, but the word used to describe the mentally disabled is not (UD) [03:29] <HyperFlash Studios> Lol it didn't pass? [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> I have a reasonably built figure [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> And I have people ask if they can feel my chest [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> so often [03:29] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> kek [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> And it's so creepy [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> Like that shouldn't be a thing [03:29] <TeeTeeTim88> :P [03:29] <GandalftheWizard> wait, douche DIDN'T pass???

It has nothing to do with how smart you actually are. [03:50] <Keplers> KEK [03:50] <Nart L. Chipikal> i'm taking the sat again on saturday [03:50] <Nart L. Chipikal> hoping to get a higher score than last time [03:50] <Keplers> Yeah, but the C students think it actually shows your knowledge [03:51] <Riolu777> i care about standardized testing insofar it gets me moneys from college [03:51] <TeeTeeTim88> standardized testing has nothing to do with intelligence level [03:51] <Keplers> ^ [03:51] <TeeTeeTim88> everyone knows that :P [03:51] <Keplers> Per both [03:51] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> yeah [03:51] <TeeTeeTim88> well [03:51] <TeeTeeTim88> except for stupid people [03:51] <TeeTeeTim88> :P [03:51] <Impossibubbles> Standardized testing just shows you know how to study and retain information for that type of test. It's honestly so stupid when you think about it [03:51] <Keplers> SAT World History subject test was a farce [03:51] <Riolu777> the english part of the ACT is the only fun part. I LOVE looking for grammatical errors [03:51] <Keplers> It had nothing to do with an understanding of history so much as random trivia from six continents in ridiculously specialized fields [03:51] <Riolu777> everything else is a slog [03:52] <Majolo9050> bubbles, that is seriously the whole reason i'm homeschooled xD [03:52] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Only took AP Art History [03:52] <Riolu777> wait majolo, I'm homeschooled too [03:52] <Riolu777> :P [03:52] <Impossibubbles> Oh yeah, the english portion of the ACT was pretty fun, rio [03:52] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Completely made crap up, still got a 5 [03:52] <Riolu777> and I've taken both :P [03:52] <Majolo9050> So that there's no standardized testing [03:52] <Keplers> Maj, you need standardized testing even if homeschooled... [03:52] <Nart L. Chipikal> i think i messed up during the science part of the act [03:52] <Riolu777> are you planning on going to college? :P [03:52] <Nart L. Chipikal> i didn't take physics [03:52] <Majolo9050> So far, the only test I've ever heard that I'll have to take is the SAT [03:52] <Impossibubbles> Well you'll still have to take a standardized test, maj [03:52] <Impossibubbles> Yeah [03:52] <Keplers> We're not talking about public school tests, we're talking about college entry :p [03:52] <TeeTeeTim88> english and reading parts of the ACT are just patterns [03:52] <Impossibubbles> SAT or ACT [03:53] <Majolo9050> That's it, and mom doesn't even want to teach me that [03:53] <Impossibubbles> Well she should [03:53] <TeeTeeTim88> I didnt even read 50% of the questions and made a 34 [03:53] <Majolo9050> Actually, I think she wants me to take both for some reason [03:53] <Riolu777> well you gotta do it for college :P [03:53] <Keplers> How do you "teach" SAT [03:53] <Keplers> "for some reason" [03:53] <Impossibubbles> if she doesn't prepare you for those tests, you will fail them [03:53] <Riolu777> and it's best to take both, you see which one you prefer [03:53] <Majolo9050> Teach the answers [03:53] <Impossibubbles> and as stupid as they are [03:53] <Riolu777> but you gotta take practice tests [03:53] <Impossibubbles> they are kind of important [03:53] <Riolu777> not just look at the answers [03:53] <Riolu777> :P [03:53] <Keplers> please come back when you're not 11 and you understand just what's at stake and what you're talking about [03:53] <Keplers> you can't even teach the answers to the SAT [03:53] <Impossibubbles> Khan academy now has test prep [03:53] <TeeTeeTim88> khan is good [03:53] <Impossibubbles> which is super helpful [03:53] <Riolu777> for the SAT sadly [03:53] <TeeTeeTim88> thats wha ti used [03:54] <TeeTeeTim88> when I was studying [03:54] <Keplers> Khan Academy was really good [03:54] <Keplers> It's good all-around [03:54] <Majolo9050> Please come back, Keps, when you realize that I am much more knowledgeable than you think [03:54] <Impossibubbles> I use it for chem help. It's pretty good [03:54] <Keplers> Maj, your attitude toward the SAT proves far otherwise [03:54] <TeeTeeTim88> Khan is go to place for like [03:54] <TeeTeeTim88> entry level alg, geometry and trig [03:54] <Majolo9050> My attitude towards the SAT is the attitude of a person who's just doing something to get somewhere [03:54] <TeeTeeTim88> it was for me at least [03:54] <Impossibubbles> The SAT is haaaard. It's designed to trick you up [03:55] <Impossibubbles> which is so nasty xD [03:55] <Keplers> Maj, you basically told us it's worthless? :p [03:55] <Riolu777> the SAT is stupid [03:55] <Impossibubbles> As far as measuring intelligence, it is worthless. [03:55] <Majolo9050> Yes, I just did, to me anyways [03:55] <Riolu777> so much ambiguity [03:55] <Impossibubbles> But like, you really need this stuff [03:55] <Riolu777> and nonsense [03:55] <Majolo9050> You need to learn the stuff, yes [03:55] <TeeTeeTim88> the SAT is better at measuring intelligence than the ACT though [03:55] <Impossibubbles> so you do have to take it seriously xD [03:55] <TeeTeeTim88> I mean, neither are reliable [03:55] <Riolu777> ACT is straightforward [03:55] <Keplers> I think we can all agree it is an absolutely worthless test, as far as measurement goes [03:55] <TeeTeeTim88> But the ACT is just STUPID. :P [03:55] <Keplers> But it's more than mandatory [03:55] <Majolo9050> And you do have to take it seriously [03:56] <Riolu777> we obviously have very strong opinions about the tests :P [03:56] <Impossibubbles> Yeah but not studying at all for it, or ignoring it, that's a bad idea xD [03:56] <Impossibubbles> [03:56] <Keplers> ^ [03:56] <Impossibubbles> Unless you don't wanna go to college [03:56] <Impossibubbles> which [03:56] <Impossibubbles> then I guess it doesn't matter xD [03:56] <Majolo9050> Bubbles, I'm planning on majoring in Comp Sciences [03:56] <Keplers> College used to be a place of academics, but it's more or less just an expense prerequisite for a job now [03:56] <TeeTeeTim88> good luck. CS is hard. :P [03:56] <Majolo9050> So yes, I do need to take the SAT [03:56] <Keplers> You gave to go to school no matter what [03:56] <Impossibubbles> Ah ye. Gonna need those scores then [03:57] <Keplers> *have [03:57] <Impossibubbles> the PSAT is good practice for the SAT [03:57] <Majolo9050> Eh, I'll be doing Calc by the time I'm 15 anyways [03:57] <Majolo9050> so at least the math part won't be too bad [03:57] <Impossibubbles> well [03:57] <Impossibubbles> that's not entirely true xD [03:57] <Riolu777> the PSAT is also important in distributing your juicy info to colleges [03:57] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> PSAT has its advantages [03:57] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> like the NMSQT [03:57] <Keplers> PSAT scholarships [03:57] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> if you can get the scholarship, it's amazing [03:57] <Impossibubbles> Because the math, while not complicated, is worded in such a way, that it makes simple math stupidly complicated [03:57] <Riolu777> like your race and religion, if you have any that can get you the moneys [03:57] <Riolu777> :P [03:57] <Impossibubbles> it takes practice [03:57] <Majolo9050> Other than the Linear Algebra that I have to do, according to my most hoped-for college [03:58] <Majolo9050> Which is weird, because I do that rn and I actually enjoy it xD [03:58] <Keplers> Tfw Asian is now a stereotypical college race and it's getting harder [03:58] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> Yeah, there are more asians at my college than blacks. :P [03:58] <TeeTeeTim88> linear algebra is entry level stuff for every university [03:58] <Dr. Satl, M.D.> It's very odd, seeing as it's a majority black area. :P [03:58] <Impossibubbles> Not really, sat [03:59] <Impossibubbles> it has to do with culture [03:59] <TeeTeeTim88> you're required to take pre-calc alg, pre-calc trig freshman year alone
