A week ago tonight I had atrocious nightmares about bad incoming SAT2 scores, imagining that the scores from the June 3 testing were due out June 20th.一个多星期前，我今晚有残暴的恶梦约坏来袭sat2分数，以为这次分数，从6月3日被检测出是由于6月20日。 This was of course not true which meant that this past Sunday I had the opportunity to have more visions of despair in my dreams!这当然是不正确的，这意味着在过去的周日，我有机会能有更多的愿景绝望，在我的梦想！ Woo.胡国兴。 But I did get my scores on Monday, despite the malcontent which haunted my sleep, and they weren’t terrible.但我确实让我的分数上周一，尽管其中malcontent困扰我的睡眠，而他们并不可怕。 Certainly not as terrible as I might have feared in my dream (The most visceral and frightening image? 54 wrong on the Literature, final score: 0. Very cliché, I know. And not appropriately scored, either!), and more or less in line with what I expected, my scores are okay when looked at pseudo-objectively.当然不是可怕，因为我可能会害怕，在我的梦想（最内脏和可怕的形象？ 54错对文学的，最后分数： 0 。非常陈词滥调，我知道，而且不恰当地得分，要么！ ） ，而更或更少符合我的预期，我的考试成绩是好了，此亦伪客观的评价。 The point is that I have unreasonably high standards for myself so this performance doesn’t really meet all my expectations for personal work.这一点，是因为我有不合理的高标准，为自己，所以这个业绩并不真正满足我所有的期望，个人的工作。 I have had a mixed experience with ETS; I took the SAT back in May of my 10th grade year and that was mediocrish, though I guess not horrible for my first time taking the test (2150–an evaluative note: This is 97/97 national / state percentile for critical reading, 93/93 for math, and then god knows what for writing. It was 730/700/720, ick).我有一个混合系统后的经验，我参加周六早在今年五月份我的10年级一年，那就是mediocrish ，虽然我猜不可怕，我第一次参加考试（ 2150年-一项评估注：这是97分之97国家/州百分位为批评性阅读， 93分之93数学，然后上帝知道什么是书写的，它是730/700/720 ， ick ） 。 I plan to retake that this fall.我计划，以重新夺回这个秋天。 PSAT was a little brighter (and has already been discussed here) though I don’t even know if that is designed by ETS… SAT IIs, though, were a little nicer. psat一点点光明（而且已经在这里讨论） ，虽然我什至不知道如果这是设计的电子投标系统…坐在者，虽然是一个不大好吧。 If they were added to make a composite SAT I score, I’d have a 2290… blech.如果他们加入，使复合式坐在i分数，让我有一个2290 …布莱赫。 I took all three of these SAT IIs at once, on June 3rd, 2006.我的所有上述3个星期六者，一时间，对2006年6月3日。 One or two would have been a nice snack, but three was a little bit much.一个或两个已经好零食，而是三个，是有点多。 It started to drag on a little bit.它开始采取拖延战术一点点。 Thankfully they were each all self-contained so it really wasn’t too bad, as far as I was concerned.谢天谢地，他们分别都自成一体，所以它真的不算太坏，对我来说，关注的。 I think it would be fun sometime to take all 13 tests at once, in a marathon session, if such a thing existed (it does not).我认为这是很好玩的某个时候采取一切13测试一次，在一场马拉松式的会议，如果有这样的事情存在的话（不） 。

BIO: 770 LIT: 760 and M2C: 760.生物科学： 770点亮： 760人，并m2c ： 760 。

My impressions: Biology was very easy, English Literature was very arbitrary and obtuse, and Math was very easy with one or two obnoxious places.我的印象：生物学是很容易的，英语文学，是非常武断和迟钝，数学是很容易的，与一个或两个厌恶的地方。 The Literature was just hugely, hugely obnoxious.文学是刚刚获得巨大的，非常厌恶。 I took the old SAT II Writing when I was applying for Exonian copy editor Lower (read: Sophomore) year at Exeter, and it was really not bad, but the English Literature exam was gruesome because on so many questions (all of them) you had to fit your head into the ETS “retard” box.我把老坐在第二写作的时候，我申请exonian拷贝编辑较低（阅读：大二）今年林地，它真是不坏，而英国文学考试是可怕的，因为这么多问题， （他们都） ，你有适合你的头到电子投标系统"延缓"框。 Interpretation was not open.释法是不公开的。 Just as the 20 minute essays are flawed because of the fact that they are twenty minutes long, so too I feel the literature test is inherently broken because literature can be interpreted different ways, so long as multiple choice isn’t the only format.正如20分钟的散文缺陷，因为这一事实，即他们是20多分钟长，所以太我觉得文学测试本来就是破碎，因为文学可以解释为不同的方式，只要选择题不是唯一的形式。 Whatever.诸如此类。

Shameful and disappointing for me, of course.可耻和令人失望，对我来说，当然是。 I do ‘well’ and all I’m left with is an emptiness knowing that I didn’t reach my full potential.我认为'好'和所有我留下的是一个空虚知道，我没有达到我的潜能得以充分发挥。 Quite depressing.令人感到沮丧。 I’ve trackbacked something like 20 other blogs found via Technorati on the subject here, of SAT2 tests, because most of them share what I can only regard as a tragic perspective: they are accepting and in fact pleased with low scores.我已经trackbacked像其他二十多个博客发现，经technorati就此事在这里， sat2试验，因为他们大多是分享什么，我只能把作为一个悲剧性的角度看：他们接受，并在事实上高兴的低杆数。 There are sort of exceptions here and there, “anything below 750 would be unfortunate” type moanings, like those complaints you’ve just read, but for the most part people don’t seem to mind that they’re getting these 610s or whatever the hell low scores they have.有一种例外，在这里和那里， "凡是低于750将是不幸的"类型moanings ，像那些投诉你刚才所宣读的，但大多数人似乎并不介意他们是否能得到这610年代还是什么地狱分数低，他们的。 I’m not saying that they’re stupid, just that those scores are lower than they could be.我不是说他们笨，只是那些分数低于他们却可以做到。 Which is true.这是事实。 Average is pretty… average, so even being moderately above average is moderately lame.平均是漂亮…平均，因此，即使被中度高于平均水平是适度跛脚。

Anyways back to my discussion of relativism in standardized testing. anyways返回我的讨论相对论，在标准化测试。 The point is that I compare myself not to the national average this or that, or anything like that.这一点，是因为我自己比较不全国平均水平的这样或那样的，也不能做其他事情。 I set my baseline somewhere around the 99.5th percentile.我硬底线附近99.5th百分位。 I’m not saying that I’m in the top .5 percent, I’m just saying that’s around where the standard lies.我不是说我在顶级0.5 ％的，我刚才说的靠近那里的标准所在。 For example, my best friend in the entire world, my neighbor Greta Friar, always does much better than me on these tests.举例来说，我最好的朋友，在整个世界，我的邻居葛丽泰弗莱尔，总是远远优于我对这些测试。 We both took the Eng Lit; she got somewhere something like an 800.我们两人都参加了工程点亮;拿了某处像一个800人。 Maybe she got one wrong, but I think she still got an 800.也许，她得到一个错误的，但是我觉得她还是得了800 。 That was my recollection from the discussion which went “what did you get?” [minutes of filer] “something something 800″ “oh nice” [more on].这是我记忆中，从讨论，其中又以"你在何处" ？ [分钟的备案] "一些东西800 " ， "哦尼斯" [更多] 。 She’s very modest about it so it isn’t soul crushing or anything but combine that with the 2370 SAT I and it can be a little bit harrowing.她很谦虚，它所以不是灵魂破碎的东西结合起来，但随着： 2370周六，我和它可以是一个有点痛苦的。 So the point is that when I look at my peers in the higher percentiles even a good performance of mine is transformed into a half-assed or half-hearted one and so it’s pretty bleak in that regard.因此，问题是，当我看到我的同行在较高百分甚至一个良好的表现，矿转化成一个半assed或半心半意的一个，所以这实在是太暗淡，在这方面的工作。 But it’s all handled on the fly, subconsciously, most of the time.但它的一切处理，对飞，潜意识中，大部份的时间。 Only rarely do I need to actively think about diluting my achievements in the oceans of others accomplishments; most of the time the job is quite simple.只有很少这样做，我需要积极思考稀释我的成就，在海洋中的其他人的成绩;大部分的时间，这项工作是相当简单。
