Teachers and friends at school have been giving me compliments , which has boosted my self-confidence and motivated me to strive for even higher standards .
Q : Did you think you got a perfect score , before you knew the results ? A : I didn ' t expect to get a perfect score . Especially during the speaking and writing sections , there were moments when I misunderstood the instructions and worried that I might not perform as well as I had hoped . I even considered the possibility of receiving a lower score , like a 4 .
Even thought her expectations were lower , her score proved her wrong , as she is one of the seven people in the whole world to have received a perfect score . A score of 4 isn ’ t all bad since it has been rated “ good ” on college board , but Minami got a perfect 6 . 6 represents “ excellence in presentational speaking and cultural knowledge .”
