PSATs

Hello guys! SOOO, today school was kinda canceled. Actually, that shouldn't be the right word. We were excused from all of our classes because of PSATs. 

A PSAT is basically a practice SAT so I think it might be easier than the real thing. From what I saw today, the problems were all SUPER DUPER easy. At least the math sections. The English section, which involved the Reading Test and the Writing and Language Test, was the section that I believe to be the most difficult. I think that's because language requires me to think more and usually there isn't one DEFINITE answer like there is in math. 

Our PSAT today consisted of 4 different tests. The Reading Test, the Writing and Langauge Test, the Math without Calculator Test, and the Math with Calculator Test. I messed up on two questions in the Math with Calculator Test but besides that, I think I got everything else in both math tests right. Sadly, that means I won't be able to get the full score. Luckily, this is just a practice exam and not the actual thing so I can simply do more and more problems until I simply DON'T mess up anymore. 

If you're wondering what the structure is like, the tests are literally rapid-fire one after the other. Reading takes 1 hour, Writing and Language takes 35 min, Math no Calc is 25 min, and lastly, Math with Calc is 45 min. I finished early on the Writing one and Math with Calc. The Reading Test was the most intense for me because I filled in my last bubble at the final 40-second mark LOL. 

Okay, so after the PSAT I played a bunch of Minecraft with Rama, Dino, Psi, and Toro. We gathered materials, built some stuff, explored, and it was really fun. Oh, and I might get on for a little bit before bed today if I can finish everything fast enough LOL. 

Later on, I watched some YouTube videos on derivatives which is basic calculus. I learned two derivative rules, the power rule, and the product rule. OH and the quotient rule too which is pretty similar to the product rule basically. I still need to learn the chain rule and I don't know if there are others but, it's not looking so hard actually. Perhaps that's because I'm still working with basic problems though. My dad says that it'll get a lot more complicated after I get into complex problems. 

Anyway, that's my day in a nutshell. Hope you all had a cool day too! byeee
