Missing the SAT question on Tilt Mounts and Cat5E Products Help Me to Buckle Down on Studies
When my SAT question of the day asked what tilt mounts were, I missed it. I then knew I needed to find out what the correct answer was. Tilt mounts are used to mount a flat screen and then you can tilt it instead of having it in a fixed position all the time. I will never miss anything like that again. The following day I had to explain what Cat5E products were in my computer class and I missed that. I was getting frustrated to find out that for someone who wanted to go to college and major in computer technical classes, I did not know squat. I decided to really crack down on the books and get serious about studying. By the end of that week, I knew what Cat5E products were and how to install most of them. When we had a pop quiz the following week, I answered only one question wrong and stayed after class to have it explained to me. I went and took the SAT’s about two months later and scored really high. I got in to my first choice of schools and am a very successful computer IT analyst now. If I had not missed the tilt mounts question, I may have not buckled down and gotten serious about college.
