Hi all...
I just thought I would toss out a thread for all of us who took the AT-SAT this week to chat about it, post scores when necessary, and let loose!!!
I was relatively surprised how different it was from the green book, and everything. The environment was made to be asrelaxed as possible but it didnt help a whole lot. We had 15 scheduled to take the test, of that 13 showed up and funny enough, they were all CTI's from my classes and we all knew eachother... I took about 5.5hrs to complete the whole thing when all was said and done. I think it was certainly a positive environment and everyone seemed really relaxed through the first few sections. During the first break, we even had a couple arrogant guys saying they knew they were gonna get in the high 90's or 100. After the break, we went back for the letter factory, which with all those sections, really seemed like it was never gonna end. When it finally did, most of the "break group" took about half our lunch time to hang out and chat. Consensus, scores were still planned to be quite well. We went back for the ATC scenarios, and as amusing as it probably shouldnt have been, almost from the get-go we heard plenty of WHAT's, DAMN's, Siht's, and ####'s... It was kinda funny but one person actually must not have realized how loud she was when dropping a few of these, but it made the whole damn class laugh. Personally, I only had two instances to swear when my plane didnt quite make it out the exit but hell, thats what the GPWS is for right? We went out for another break and the cocky guys werent quite as much anymore. The analogies were next and I have to tell you, the shapes on the CD and in the book you might as well pee on or toss em in the fireplace or something because they were not the same. The personality part, is kinda a mystery to me as it is 135 questions I believe and at least 85 of them were worded differently asking how I relate to stress... (Good F'ing time to ask me that when Im exhausted from taking the test I was exhausted studying for but hey, I guess it made it easier...)
I still refuse to speculate what I got but I will post it here when I get it.
