error ... it should read as:
Is this a SAT prep thread?

an would be used if the following word began/begins with a vowel.

Now i I need to know my test scores. 😉😉😉
a has too many spaces before it
to - this should be: two
WITHOUT - shouting ... no need to shout
i I - typo
test scores - this was a quiz ... only one score
sentence structure will not be discussed at this time.
Over all, it appears you earned a low score, however it is being graded on a curve ... so we shall see!

As @DJs mom, posted ... 'Now what's that saying about people living in glass houses throwing stones...
Wow, it's a good thing ... no one is throwing stones!
Another quote I really like is: "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her."

It's: This form is used exclusively as a contraction of 'it is' or 'it has'. When making contractions, the apostrophe takes the place of any missing letters (in this case, the 'i' in is and the 'ha' in has). That's it, folks: only use it's when you really mean it is or it has. Easy trick: read the sentence back to yourself, replacing it's with it is or it has. If the sentence no longer makes sense, you're using the wrong form.

Chrystaltree is correct: one would refer to an SAT test. (The "S" technically is "ess.")
