Yes, very confused.
It took me 2 months to figure out the difference between an honors class and an AP class. Horrible, isn't it?
Had many ahem, interesting experiences at school too. My first day in school ws very eventful. I was in a cultural shock, really, and those high school movies... really don't help. >_>'
I had no idea what I was doing.

And gym is too hard... I cannot run or anything. We didn't focus too much on physical studies back in South Asia... so naturally when they told me to run the mile the very first day, I passed out. -.-
Got sent to the clinic... and the clinic lady is NOT a very friendly lady. I also got lost so many times and everything. At one point, it was me and the janitor in the hallway. And I was suprised crickets didn't start chirping.

And LOCKERS are just a different thing. I couldn't figure out how to open mine... so I had to get my counselor to show me how. She's very nice and went with me all the way to my locker, but when she went back to her office, I couldn't open it again. End result: I bestowed the locker with many kicks throughout the first two weeks as other people in the hallway watched. Not the best thing in my life. However, one day I actually opened the locker on my FIRST try... I was SO happy. Then I looked inside and saw it wasn't my stuff. I had opened somebody else's locker by mistake (how do you even DO that?)... but anyway you probably didn't ask for this whole story... (I'm keeping a journal of all these happenings so I can narrate them in my autobiography later ).

lol, that's pretty interesting. I don't know a lot of people fresh from the continent over there (most are 2/3 year settled). Lockers? lmao. Yeah... honestly, I don't use one :P except to put my chem book in... OH! btw. I did find my chem book. My friend had borrowed it about 2 months ago after he lost his, and somehow convinced himself that it was his. So I just got it back. Just. *facepalm*

^ You know facepalm!?!?!
AWESOME!

Wait, where do you go to school?
I don't use my locker either (now... and that's not because I don't know how to. )
I don't let ANYONE borrow my books after an incident. I gave my hall pass to this kid... and he left in the friggin Boy's Restroom and told me it fell in the ... toilet. >_<

Darned kids!

LOL @ 13.38

Um ... I don't even know all the location/names of states right now... (okay, maybe I do, but really...)
Anyway that explains a lot (with your scores and everything).

hmmm... well. I hate to say this, but they accept wayyyy too many not smart people into IB at our school. fortunately many of those don't get [IB] diplomas so the programme itself is not defective. *shrug*

Spruce Creek High School btw

^clarify M/V?

I would say about 1100-1200/1600 average

EDIT: There is a large jump in the upper range of IB from about 1300 mid range IB to high 1400->1580

No one at our school has gotten a 1600 in like 5 years

Well, does that include you? Jk.
Thanks for bearing with me on that one...
Same question as Joe.

Btw, my post time = 11:11 ^_^

Edit: M/V = Math+Verbal (aka CR and Math scores only). Also known as Composite score.

1100-1200?
That's lower than George Bush's score.
(I think).

probably...

The lower range IB are actually just kinda smartish regular students. Nope, no 1600 for me, although maybe this will be it (I'm not taking it again. EVER)


EDIT: @Feed, Average IB Score for SAT is like 1400 I think composite

EDIT2: Actually... my estimate was probably slightly low, I would say 1200 avg

EDIT3: just to let you know, my post number is a power of 2 right now

That's cool. Honestly I'd rather do 3 AP tests than another SAT

At least they have FREE RESPONSE
Too bad they're taking away Comp Sci AB

^ I'd rather take the SAT than 3 APs... you don't have to *prepare* for the SAT... I mean, you don't have to KNOW any like facts... because it's just out of the blue. You need to knew a few rules and that's it.

LOOL @ power of 2. xD
You're hilarious.

As in they, did you mean your school? Or is this something I'm unaware of ...
I was planning to take AP Comp Sci next yr. :/
