*Glares at the standardized testing* Testing. Is. The. Bane. Of. My. Existence.

Seriously.

Well, I don't know all the fancy names they give testing nowadays, but my advice is don't worry about it! All they are doing is comparing you to all the others nationally to make sure you are up to par, and we all know you are extremely smart. Even if you were only mediocre – which you aren't – you would have no issues. Just think of it as the final unit exams your teacher might give you. Nothing special, just making sure you know at least a bit of what you learned.

Now that I took the PSAT (it's to prep for college) I don't have to take standardized tests for this year, which is awesome. But I know the dreading feeling, just don't worry about it. Good luck and get plenty of sleep!

I have to take the SBACs. It. Is. So. ANNOYING!

We used to take CMTs, which everyone would joke stood for Child Mind Torture. Hah. We haven't come up with a clever name for SBACs yet, though… It's a running joke/ competition thing among the eighth graders.

I take PARCC, MAP, DCA, and normal tests. This year I have to take math finals (they aren't real high school finals, as I'm only learning 7th and 8th grade math. I'm in 6th grade, if you were wondering). But, I'm going to be out of town the week we are studying. I'm probably going to be studying 3/4 of the trip, sadly.
