CAHSEE

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I took the CAHSEE which stands for the California High School Exit Exam. Only 10th graders take the CAHSEE. It's tested on English Language Arts and Math. We have to take it and pass it to leave high school. If we sophomores don't pass it, then we have to take it again during our senior year. But I don't think anyone failed it, well maybe some people did, but it was super easy and I don't see how you can fail this kind of test. I heard even middle school kids can pass this test and that the people who made this test aren't teachers or whatever. I'm sure I'll pass it.

I've been told that if I don't pass the CAHSEE, then I must be retarded. I laughed. I guess that's an easy way to put it. And I have to admit, this test is ridiculously easy. But it was super long though which took us like 2 hours? Yet we stayed in the classroom for like 4 hours. For me, I had to go to the PE classroom which smells really weird. I didn't notice if there was any lights in there too... It's like the sun shines through the windows for light.

The English part of the test was easy. We had to read a whole bunch of short stories and answer questions about it. But then I didn’t really read any of them, I just read the questions and then find the answer in the story. I think a lot of people did that; not reading the stories. Some of the questions were pretty self explanatory too.

There were 2 sections of the test. We finished the first part of the test before break and after break we do the second part. I could’ve just finished both parts before break because I finished it pretty early.

On Wednesday, we took the math part of the CAHSEE. I took this test faster than the English one because, of course, there weren’t any stories involved, although there were word problems to solve. There’s this one problem where it’s like “If n=12 then what is –n? A) -12 B) 4 C) 15 D) -11” Of course the answer would be -12… See how ridiculous this test is? It’s just a waste of time… but then it’s a requirement.

I finished the first part of the math test in like half an hour because it was only 20-25 questions? I think. After that, I continued doing the second part of it so I finished the test really early too. While the teacher was reading the instructions, I was already doing those questionnaires because it was the same as the English part so I copied it. I finished everything early yesterday and then I put my head down to take a nap because people were still working on it. I think I was the first person who finished?

The CAHSEE was super long and super easy and I am confident about passing it. I just wish the SAT would be this easy.
