Today is an important day for the seniors. It’s the day SAT scores are out. Some were exhilarated while others were gloomy. Even those that didn’t take test in October (like me) were affected. For the people that received their scores today, I was a relief (or a dread). For me, things have just started. So many people improved today and some even broke the school SAT record! Ben Lee deserves a CONGRATULATION because he got 800 for the critical reading score – that is the full score, FULL SCORE! This has never happened before in our school, so today is PAS history in the making.  As for me, seeing that everyone did so well, I’ve really got to work hard! Every year, the SAT scores of accepted students in the top schools are increasing exponentially. If I want to stand any chance, I will need a better score.

Today’s SAT Vocab of the Day:

Auspicious – promising success; propitious; opportune; favorable
