Once again you beat me to it. A busy schedule has made it hard for me to catch up on this, but I'll be sure to do better (not fair for you to do all the work).

Once I wake up tomorrow, I'll update this list (as long as deadly-app doesn't beat me to the punch.

good luck on your sats. i hope you had better conditions than i had. when i took my sats, it was at school with no a/c, windows open, allergies like a mug, football practice and lawnmowers going on outside, and i didn't take my a.d.d. medication. needless to say, i didn't finish the test. i wanted to take them again, but my parents said a 1420 was fine and there was no reason to take them over.

almost the same damn thing happened when i took my acts, minus the allergies. i didn't finish that test either... i was forced to bubble "c" all the way down half of the science section (i have accommodations during testing, so they didn't stop me after every section... they just lumped all my time together and let me pace myself... THAT was a great idea).
