The OGT...

I think I'm going to be aliright.

I have no midterms!

Since I passed the 4 practice OGT tests, I do not have to take any midterms! My scores were actually pretty good (I never cheated off the internet… although I was trying to find the answers but never succeeded).

Math-98% (Surprising to the effect that I was getting a C in Geometry.)

Science- 89% (I am almost positive, either that or it’s in the 80’s somewhere)

Social Studies- 83% (This was the hardest test in my opinion, and again, I am not for certain on the score, but I know it’s in the 80’s somewhere.)

Reading- I do not remember how many points she said it was out of… But I got 41 points and the minimum points to pass was 29.


Well, just wish me luck in March!

Good luck with the test!

Do I understand correctly that if you pass all the sections this year in the spring that you won't have to take any more exams your entire high school career? Let me make sure that's true before I go on my tirade about how full of crap it is.

yeah, that's right... alithough it might not be a good idea because our high school exams will prepare us for college. But, oh well. What can you do?

Exams are like 2 days out of regular classes, I'll take anything from the norm that I can get. But yeah, that's definitely crap. I can understand if you don't have midterms this year and maybe finals, because that's all you've been focusing on in class. But for the rest of high school?!?! That's a joke. You need to be evaluated with exams, not to mention most of the teachers base their teaching towards an exam.

And yes, here it is: Another prime offspring of No Child Left Behind. The Ohio Graduation Test. Utter bull.

Yeah, luckily I passed all of mine with really low scores! lol.

English~ 67%
Math~74%
Science~ 73%
Social Studies~ 63%

Yeah, they're really low, but what can I say I really don't care for english and history. I hate them. And plus, half of the stuff I hadn't even heard of on these tests so I merely guessed. Obviously by the looks of my scores, most of my guesses were wrong. But I'm so glad that the passing grade is a 42% and on the practice it was 60%. I think if I can pass the practices, i'll do fine on the real thing.
