To go for the placement test, I got up very early, 0630. With a feeling of drowsiness, I took the test from 0830 to 1300.
The test was made up of two parts. One was English test and the other was Math test.
And the English test was made up of three parts then: Listening, Grammar + Reading, Writing. I, not unexpectedly, was good at G + R and Writing but bad at Listening. How could I improve my poor ear? Did the watching of English movies not work at work? OK, then. I will try the aural dictation way next week.
The writing topic was asking that what would you do to serve your community and why. I talked I wanted to be a cleaner and helper. My essay was just about 130 words. I worried it was too short to satisfy the exam standard, but I was nothing more to talk about the topic. I had declared what I thought.
Talking about the Math test which was also made up of three parts, I finished the first two as the instructor told us. That was easy, and I tried to answer the third part without writing the answers on the paper. It was not to hard except for the trigonometric function. I nearly totally forgot what sin cos tan meant. And I did not consider the trigonometric function was useful in common life. Whatever, that I was not good at math since I took the crazy collage entrance examination was true. I hated math from then on.
Tomorrow, an orientation will be held for international student. I will attend this meeting and get to know how the collages function in the U.S.
