That was the most retarded thing I had ever seen, and it's now a fad at my school. At least I don't have to actually take those tests again.

Also, you're not supposed to sleep during or after the test, at least that was the rule last year. Funny they're encouraging you to pack pillows.

Really?
That only applies when you're taking the test.
After you're done, you can sleep all you want.

Nope, since sleeping sounds (snoring) can distract other people. You're just supposed to read or twiddle your thumbs.

PACT
Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test.
Haven't taken it in a few years, and it was discontinued recently. :O

In Arkansas, we have to deal with the ACTAAP, which means 10th graders spend all year preparing for the EOC (End of Course) Biology and EOC Geometry Exams, while us 11th graders get to spend time prepping for the EOC Literacy Exam.

Also, the video wouldn't load for me. It says something about an error.

Ugh, I had the Geometry test today.
I don't live in Texas though. CA.

Don't worry, I can get the swine flu too.

I have to take applied next year, so I might have a chance.
Anyone know what it's called in Ontario? The exams, I mean.

Wisconsin Knowledge Concepts Examinations are the only ones around here. Not really sure when, or it, I have to take it again.

I had the MCAS in high school, if you didn't pass it you didn't pass high school regardless of how well you did in your classes

Us Arizonans have to take the AIMS. (Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards)

Took it a few years ago. It was so easy. The standards are so low.
NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
No child was left behind. They were all put at the same, low level.

Or just kicked out.

NY utilizes the Regents tests. They're such bullpoop. They don't actually test you on anything, other than the ability to read and interpret questions and the reference tables.

This.
