So yesterday I did my Science GED test ... and I did a little better than my previous exams.
800/800 this time, which yes, puts me in the top 1% again.
In true "Samantha is stupid" fashion, despite getting some great results so far, I can still hear my father saying something along the lines of "Well the tests must be easy if she's getting such high marks" - Which to be honest is kinda what I believe too, although I am allowing myself a bit of cocky smugness every now and again.
I dunno, they are easy, I don't even feel you needed to know anything beyond the very basics of science to past the test I did, just an ability to read and understand the questions. 85% of the questions have the answers right there on the sheet (and I don't mean in the multiple choice answer bit either).
For example one question gave you a chemical formula and asked you to say what it was long hand / how you would pronounce it.
This could of been challenging and you would of had to of had the at least basic understanding of chemistry to be able to do this, however, they then tell you what element the abbreviations stand for and then go on to explain that the what the little number means in relation to how its written long hand.
Question : If N = Nitrogen and O = Oxygen, and when there is a little 2 after one of the chemicals you put a"di" before the word, then what does NO2 Stand for?
Answer : Nitrogen dioxide
So really I didn't need to know anything about chemistry to get this answer right, as they had giving me all the information, I just had to use what I was given to work out the answer, and if I was struggling to work it out then they have given me 5 answers to pick from, and 3 are obviously incorrect making it much easier for me to simply guess the answer, should I not know.
I dunno, I should just take the scores and be happy, its a great thing, and a lot of people are talking about scholarships to me (Lets be clear, I haven't been offered anything, its just been suggested that I would have a higher chance of getting one). So I should be all proud and bouncing off the roof etc. It just all feels too easy and like any second now someone's gonna pull the rug out and go "Ha Ha, your not really that smart".
God I'm a miserable b*tch sometimes ~laughs~
So what other news do I have ....
I was over at the office last week, getting the warehouse floor ready to be painted (needs to be cleaned with a solution of acid to roughen up the surface for the paint to stick), thats all been done, and hopefully I can get that painted this week.
Jacob as got himself into something really stinky and he smells like ass, so he's getting a bath tonight.
Monday, I have the dentists.
Tues, School and then Debra
Wens, I have my Zappings
Thurs, School
Fri, Appointment with a career councilor at school
I have a load of algebra homework to do before Thurs, as well as a Essay to write. Don't think I have any homework for Tues. Doesn't matter really because I'm now working on stuff thats 2 or 3 packets ahead of what is been taught in class so if I don't do any homework, I'm still ahead for a week or two, although I'm actually looking forward to the challenge of Algebra so I'll probably start that today.
I also have a few craft projects to complete, a Cross Stitch Thank You card, a coupe of blankets, and then I have to make a start on my Christmas Cards, so that they are done for the 1st Dec.
Gonna be quite a busy little bee over the next week.
See ya on the flip side.
