This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It was probably on a Friday and testing probably was happening Saturday morning and they were busy setting up the gym with tables for check-in or possibly desks for testing directly in the large room rather than individual classrooms. Most schools don't have an abundance of large spaces and one has to be sacrificed.

Schools in the US have tests on Saturdays? We don't really have an equivalent to SATs here in Canada, but I figured it was just a summary exam or something you took like anything else.

No, it's not a mandated test or anything. It's basically a college entrance exam.

Schools are often used to hold the tests because they're already equipped to handle it. But, the tests can be hosted at different locations.

Makes sense. I've always heard about it being taken a while before finishing highschool so I figured it was engrained in that curriculum.
