Well, I took the SAT for the first time today.
I was really stressing about it, especially last night, but you know...I think it went pretty well, actually.
To be honest, I thought that it was easier than the ACT.
First of all, there weren't any ridiculous science sections on the SAT, so that was nice.
Secondly, I liked the shorter sections that the SAT has. The ACT just throws a big ol' section at you and it's just...I don't know...a little overwhelming and long, but the SAT is broken up into ten shorter sections (most are 25 minutes long). It starts off with the essay, and then you get alternating Math and English sections. I just really preferred that set-up.
I think that I did pretty well, but I don't want to be too cocky or anything. I'd really regret being so arrogant if I got a pathetic score. I'm pretty sure I did above average, though...at least on the Writing and Reading sections. The average scores are about 500 per section, and I'm sure I did better than that on the Writing and Reading sections. Math wasn't bad---I'm just not all that good at math, so I don't want to make any predictions about that. :P
Anyway...basically, the SAT was a pleasant surprise.
A few people had told me that it was way easier than the ACT, but others told me that it was way harder, so I didn't really know what to expect. I came out of it thinking that it was easier, but who knows... I guess I'll see how I did in a few weeks. :)
Overall I had a pretty good week. The beginning of the week was really great... I just felt really happy. The end of the week became a bit tiring, though.
Hmm...what a relief to be done with the SAT!
I'm going to go do something relaxing now. x]

The SAT is apparently a lot more memorization of information, like vocab and such, while the ACT tries to test you on applied knowledge. I do not plan on taking the SAT, hah. Good luck on those scores! =]
