I think i did pretty good. The easiest and favorite part of the English part was the picture prompt. I hate the reading comprehension. I am so ready for the persuasive essay because of all we did in class.

I thought the tests today were quite easy and tried a strategy I had learned in an SAT class and it worked very well and i finished in the time limit with time left. The easiest part of the tests today was the picture prompt, because that is the only time during the test where you can actually be creative. The most difficult were the short answers because the questions were very vague and just not really specific on what they wanted to hear from us. The persuasive essay will most likely be a breeze, even though you are given a topic to talk about, you still have freedom to write about.

The HSPA testing today seemed easy, the topics and props were easy to understand and write about. The easiest part was the last section with the passage about the "hidden commons". I found this easy to understand because if was more of a perswasive passage and was not difficult to read. The hardest section was the other reading comprehension, the passage was very long and unintresting and it was hard to get through reading and understanding it. I believe I am ready for the essay tommorow because of the level of dificulty of todays sections.

I believe that i did fairly well on the english part of the HSAPs today. I had some trouble reading and answering the questions. The picture prompt was a good picture and easy to write about so i think i did well on the picture. I am ready for the persuasive essay. Hopefully i will write well tomorrow.

I think i did well on the test today because it was really easy. although if i think it was easy there were probably some trick questions. I think the easiest part of the tests was the math because i think if i was a 6th grader i could of passed that. i dont think im ready for the persuasive because there just going to give us a topic that no one cares about.

uhm. i think i did pretty well today, i mean the reading was the worst part to do, took a lot of time for me to finish but once i finished reading it was easy to do the multiple choice and the open ended.
and writing the picture prompt was easy because i have a very crazy imaination so writing a story was easy.

I'm pretty confident that I did a good job on the first portion of the english test. The open ended questions were the easiest part of the test for me. I was able to write a lot for the open ended questions. The multiple choice on the test were just as easy for me as the multiple choice. I was able to write a lot for the open ended questions because of the information in the packet that was so in depth. The mutliple choice were easy as well because I was able to cross out some of the choices.

I did well on test today. The part that was easiest for me was the picture prompt, because it was coming up with my own ideas, and this is what i am best atg. The hardest was reading the persuasive essay. It was really repetitive. I am ready for the persuasive essay

I think i did well on today's test. The easiest part was the picture prompt because it was very clear and there was a lot I could write about. The most difficult part was the last passage. The passage was very confusing and hard to understand. The open ended questions on that passage were pretty hard too. I think I'm ready for the persuasive essay. As long as I can figure out what to write about and write my introductory paragraph. After that everything is going to flow well.

I know i did a good job on the HSPAS. The math section was the easiest section, by far. I really liked the first picture for the picture prompt, it was very pretty and you could write about anything. The second day of writing was definitely the hardest. I don't think any of us really understood completely what "The Hidden Commons" are. I think i did well on the last picture prompt. I wrote about something and in a way i usually wouldn't write.

I think I did ok considering my attitude toward these test in general. The most difficult part of the testing was the second picture prompt, this was difficult because my lacking of care toward the end of the test. I was ready for the persuasive part because thats my area that I am good at, it is always open.

I think i did pretty well on the HSPA today. The easiest part for me would be the picture prompt. I enjoy writing creatively, and i believed that picture was a great picture to just use your imagination. The part that was most difficult for me would have been the last part, with the commons reading. At that point of the test, i was just tired and could not concintrate on reading. Therefore, it was difficult for me to understand what i was reading, and the questions did not make any sense to me.
