<p>@nate42: That’s nice of you to say, but I’m sure I’m not one of them. I missed a part of one of the questions on epigenetics (probably worth 1 point). I think I did well, but I didn’t get a perfect score. Perhaps after my USABO studying this year, I’ll be capable of it!</p>
<p>@studious: Oh, I really don’t know what egigenetics is… haha. I bet you got a 5 though. Good luck with USABO! That would be awesome to make it all the way, I know I could never do it.</p>
<p>I’m probably taking the SAT in October, and I don’t even know which SAT II’s I’m taking, never mind when.</p>
<p>@lldm21: What AP courses have you taken or plan to take? It doesn’t really matter what SAT II’s you take (unless you’re applying with a specific focus like engineering). You could take Bio after an AP Bio course, US History after APUSH, etc. Just choose some you’re comfortable with and go for it!</p>
<p>@nate42: I don’t know if I can do it either. But I’m going to try!</p>
<p>@Studious: Good luck! I believe you can do it!</p>
<p>Well, I just learned that the SAT Subject Tests will be offered on every national test date except the one in March. I think I will do the following now:</p>
<p>Biology: June 1st
Math II: Either Dec. 1st or Jan. 26
US History: ? Not sure if I will do it, maybe June 1st.</p>
<p>Yeah I took the sat II for bio and I took the act June 9. I’m going to take the act again junior since my school offers it and I’m taking math II chem and English sat II subject tests after junior year. I may not take the English one since I want to have energy left.
I dont know what ate good selective science programs/internships for medicine over the summer. I’ve been looking but I was wondering if you guys knew anything?</p>
<p>Sorry dude but it’s probably way too late to start looking for a summer program. Trust me, I learned the hard way. :(</p>
<p>Would it be plausible to teach myself Latin I-III? I would really like to place into AP Latin senior year. My school only offers it online and I don’t have any room in my schedule to take it next year. </p>
<p>Is there any sites or books that would be adequate in aiding my learning?</p>
<p>^ If you study your way through Wheelock’s Latin and translate a good amount of text, you should be fine. It will take a lot of work, though. You’ll have to memorize loads of vocab, case endings, rules, etc.</p>
<p>Oh boy, that seems very intensive. Do you think this would be possible with 4 AP’s, the SAT, and 3 SAT Subject Tests? It would be really nice to have an AP Foreign Language on my transcript though… </p>
<p>Thank you @studious, you always have the answers to my questions :)</p>
<p>^^Which edition of Wheelock’s Latin do you recommend?</p>
<p>It’s possible. Only you know how much time you’ll actually have, though. You could get started now, as you’re more free in the summer. I’d pick up the latest edition of Wheelock’s you can (I bought the newest one offered on Amazon).</p>
<p>Yeah that’s true. I could probably get a significant amount done on the weekends if I don’t end up getting a job at the local library. Hmmm, a lot to ponder.
Thanks Studious! </p>

<p>@nate42 It’s funny, I am trying to do the exact same thing! I actually just started learning a few days ago, with this book called Lingua Latina per se illustrata by Hans Orberg. The book is entirely in Latin, but it is really easy to understand what it is saying and I have already learned so much in such a short amount of time. I’ve learned th nominative, vocative, accusative, and genitive cases in like three days and well over 200 vocab words for just about an hour a day. Once I finish this book I am going to get Wheelock’s and us the Cambidge course to get through it. Hopefully, I will be able to take the AP Latin and SAT Latin subject test senior year.</p>
<p>@biovball: Haha, really? I hope to take AP Latin as a senior and take the subject test next March as well. Did you already have some background in Latin? It sounds to me like you do, I couldn’t read a book in a foreign language without knowing a lot of vocab.</p>
<p>I pretty much taught myself Spanish 1-3 because I had the same crappy teacher for all three. This leads me to believe that I can do the same for latin. </p>

<p>So, what’s up?</p>
<p>Bored ! I start mu dual enrollment classes next week and I job interview as well but for next few days I have absoutely nothing to do but sit in anxiety & read CC lol what about you?</p>
<p>Live for today, plan for tomorrow.</p>
<p>Oh, fun! What classes are you taking through dual enrollment?? </p>
<p>I am trying to get through my summer reading for AP English but I’m not motivated enough :D. Um, I will begin teaching myself Latin in a few days, leaving for the beach in 72 hours and when I get back I go to science camp for a month.</p>
