Compass test- Whitney Wagganer

The compass test, the test you take, if you can not make a nineteen on the ACT, for placement in advanced placement classes, is the most stressful thing i have ever done in my entire life.  The test itself is not hard at all, but preparing for it and actually making sure you get them right, is stressful. There are five questions on the first couple of passages. On the next few, you have eight questions and generally a pretty long passages. Each time i have recently taken the compass test, i made a seventy-nine. This time on August twenty-sixth, i pray that i actually made at least an eighty-three. On each passage, i wrote down a whole bunch of information to help me stay focused on what i was reading. Also if you write down information on the passage, you tend to actually remember what you read. Another good reason to write notes down, is for only your benefit, it can not hurt you to write down what you think is important, but it can hurt you because you won't remember what you even read if you're not paying attention. if you're not paying attention, then there's not possible way for you to even pass the compass test.
   On August twenty-sixth, on the compass test, i made an eighty-nine. After the test, a couple of us taking the test like Preston Nicholas, Wesley Jordan, Kylie Huth, and Carson Smith, patiently waited for our results. We all were very eager to know what we made. We sat, and waited, and waited. Once we finally got on the bus, Mrs. Shey Williams gave us our compass scores. Everyone got their scores before i did. I got so nervous after people had token me that they did not past their test with an eighty-three or higher. Finally, Mrs. Shey had given me mine, and I was so overwhelmed with joy. i smiled from ear to ear. and called my mom immediately. After i had talked to my mom, i called my dad and he told me he would cook me steak, hots dogs, and cheeses potatoes. On each passage, i wrote down many things on the passage i thought was important. I was the happiest person ever.

    Hey whit
    first of all life is hard. life is hard to prepare for because you dont know whats about to hit you.
    second of all ACT is the most stressful thing in the who entire world. because you have to wake up at like 7:00 in the morning and your hungry throughout the whole thing. and then you get to the math and your just like what the hecking???!!?!??! and then I get my scores back and im like WHAT THE HECKING. But by the sounds of it the compass seems pretty stressful. yea and just waiting forever to get your scores are so depressing because you dont even know. But im so glad that you made above what you wanted to make. good job whit. now lets go make a 36 on our ACT. you want to??!?!!
