Nope, I didn't go to CTY last year..this is my first time (so apparently I'm a "squirrel").

PoliticalProtege--What did you take last year at CTY? I took the SAT too (to qualify for CTY) and I got a 1760 T_T. I was hoping for at least an 1800, but at least I got higher than the avg U.S. college-bound junior :P

Yes, but I took the/am taking the physical education class during the summer online. It was extremely pointless. EX - please perform 20 pushups. Record your score. Anyways, I understand that taking two languages at once will be somewhat difficult and tedious, but no other elective interested me
so.... Might as well.

@iconicsoul, where did u take the P.E class online?

@PoliticalProtege I've been doing practice tests and have been averaging between a 2200 to 2300.

I got a 1990 last year and a 2250 this Jan. I may take it again in June.
The practice tests are completely unreliable. Silver Turtle had the best SAT prep sources.

I did Model UN in Bethlehem a couple years ago. IT was awesome.
So, anyone here done the Geography Bee?

Good luck to all of you freshmen :P I'm graduating high school this year but I never took my freshmen year seriously, which cost me in terms of cumulative GPA and class rank.

I took the SAT last year, (same time with Silverturtle, that how I "knew" him/her, i assume it's a him ) My math was so low that time it was humiliating! but my CR pulled me up so I qualified for both categories of CTY summer camp. that's how I did CTY last summer. This spring I took the SAT again, simply to see how my math is. I got 150 increase in math this time!

The UN program was for rising 6th and 7th graders. We pretended to be members of the Security Council (14 kids) and the top 4 got to be security council members (no USA). I was Russia. We debated legislation, studied world geography, focused on world politics, and took some really awesome personality quizzes (What Historic leader would you be, etc. I got Aung San Suu Kyi and I was psyched). It was amazing.
shmluza, what did you get?
