Okay so this is half rant and half school stuff.

So today, a Saturday, a day I should be able to take off and sleep in, I was up at 6:00 am and off to take a 3 1/2 hour test. And of course this past week was probably the most draining I've had since the start of the school year in August Ughh. I was so annoyed and tired, and filling out 300 little bubbles and a couple essays today didn't make it any better. And to make me even more annoyed I missed 9 whole questions (due to time shortage) on Quantitative Reasoning -- that part at the start with all the pictures and the "Bob was shorter than Joe, who is taller than Fred, so who is the most annoying" kind of thing. I know it's only 3% of the questions and probably won't hurt me, but I was still upset and it's still bugging me. I won't know how I did until after Christmas

But anyway, who had to take an exam in order to get into high school or whatever the upper grades are in the UK? (sorry, I'm an American who's never looked much into the system there ) . My cousins didn't have to and they only live 45 minutes away from me, I think even in the same county. If you did, How long was it? How'd you do? Were you nervous before you took it?

@PandaGirl that sucks.... Here in new York we take regents given by the state of New York and it is hard but you get left back only if you fail 2 or more classes... A regents is a test given at the end of the year but you have to apply if not you can't take it.... If you don't pass the regents you don't pass the class even if you have a 100% in the class...
