<p>@ATP: That sounds nice. I found out that from a friend of mine at the school who the ring provider was at the school, so I just finished designing mine. Mines has two stones in it divided by the name of the school’s mascot. Then, I have the graduation year and the mascot on one side and my name and the medical sciences emblem on the other. I also have the stones surrounded by 12 cubic zirconia stones. I’ll PM you the link.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone on here has taken AP micro/macro economics? I’m planning on taking both of them next year, and I want to know if I’ll be taking two exams in May or just one?</p>
<p>@Aj
Sorry but… it’s two separate tests. A lot of schools lump the courses together.</p>
<p>Just signed up for the June 2nd SAT!!</p>
<p>Good luck nate!</p>
<p>Could someone please answer my question earlier about debate? It is coming up Friday and I need some immediate help! </p>

<p>Thanks evan!</p>
<p>I am not in the debate club but I have a good friend that is a part of our school’s debate team. She said that she familiarizes herself with current issues. Such as Bills, protesting and such.</p>
<p>Good luck! I’m taking the Math 2 SAT II in May and the Bio-M one in June.</p>
<p>Edit: Evan, can you restate your question? I just got back from the Virginia state debate competition and placed in the top 5. I might be able to help you.</p>
<p>Thanks studious, good luck to you as well!</p>
<p>This is kinda random but, do you guys think it would be a smart decision taking AP Physics B online? My school only offers Honors Physics which I will take next year. After next year, I will have already taken all of my school’s available Science courses. Leaving me with only AP Physics online for senior year.</p>
<p>@Studious: What are some things that you do to prepare for a debate? The topic my class is focusing on is school uniform policiies. What are some of your sources for your information? Also, just some tips in general would really help. </p>

<p>@evanb1996 man that sounds like a prompt straight from the ACT. but trust me, policy/pf debate is nothing like the debates you do in classrooms. whenever we did debates in english class, ‘winning’ was just about knowing your stuff and sounding smart. not about being a model politician or lawyer. </p>
<p>in reality, your teacher just wants to see two things: research and improvisation. so do your diligence and pull some articles/texts that explain or argue in the topic of school uniforms. don’t limit yourself to just what you ‘want’ to say in the debate, pull some extraneous stuff that might come in handy later. and of course with all this research, you need to develop some organization to your case, such that it will make sense in your head and in your audience’s head.</p>
<p>now if you guys are doing a cross-examination debate, extemp speaking is equally crucial. yet once you have done the serious research, it isn’t hard to bs an answer that sounds smart, and seems to make sense to your audience.</p>
<p>and seriously, the fact that you’re actually taking the initiative to get an early start and advice is a good sign that you’re gonna win.</p>
<p>I’d agree with redpartyhats. Find some articles and influential people for and against the resolution. Then prepare a written speech that outlines two-three main points (each supported by evidence/studies/quotations). If you want, you can prepare a “rebuttals” sheet to use in a follow-up speech that refutes your opponents’ points. It’s also useful in crossfire. </p>
<p>But, as redpartyhats said, your in-class debate will probably be much more lax than a real policy/pf debate. A little advance preparation is all you need, really.</p>
<p>Thanks Studious and redpartyhats. I have been researching away for the past few hours and I am almost done with everything. I have 7 really great sources (a dissertation, a few scholarly articles, and some govt publications), so I know that my team will demolish the other team on Friday. Plus, this was actually a recent research topic for the Honors Eng4 class at my school and I have one of my friend’s papers for some ideas. She got a 97, so she knew what she was talking about.</p>
<p>My week is just so busy. I am in driver’s ed til 6 everyday (I know I’m taking it so late…), then work until 8:30 three days this week, and studying for placement tests at NCSSM on Saturday, along with my regular coursework. I feel like screaming at a meadow or something.</p>
<p>@aj1996 Ask me in two months…</p>
<p>Also I recently discovered that many of my classmates and even teachers use CC…makes me wonder if we’ve ever unintentionally crossed paths. Part of me doesn’t even want to know. Do you guys talk about CC in “real life?”</p>
<p>Nope I never do. I am already regarded as a nerd and that would only contribute to being someone who is “obsessed” with school.</p>
<p>Hi all! I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some advice:
I’m running for Key Club secretary tomorrow and I’m really nervous (most leadership positions I hold are in smaller clubs/application based, and Key Club is a medium-large club at our school). I feel like I’m going to have some competition and I’m writing my speech now. I’m trying hard not to make it a “laundry list” of positions and stuff, so what do you guys find interesting/compelling in a club office speech that would make you want to vote for them? The major thing I have right now is that I’m on the board of directors of some local organizations and I can encourage community service opps from them. Anything else?
Thanks!</p>
<p>humor. do not make it long and drone ON AND ON. almost everyone does that.</p>
<p>please use humor.</p>
<p>Going to nationals for History Day! I’m quite excited since it’s my first time.</p>
<p>Very nice PippaKarenina! Good luck!</p>
<p>I am ready for the school year to be over. I’m counting the days until May 23 (three of which will be spent at UNC for a leadership program).</p>
<p>^ I don’t get out until the 8th of June. Or possibly the 3rd if the school board votes to take a week away. But that’s unlikely.</p>
<p>My school district recently changed the schedule so that school ends June 15th! I know that was only a short reduction, but it’s something! I’m glad I can spend a little more time at home before I have to go to a summer program at the end of June.</p>
