<p>^nice. I like listening to music and reading. Given decent conditions, I’d probably practice a little basketball on my own.</p>
<p>@Fantasyvesperia, you’ve got it reversed. They’re making it less broad as to concentrate on a select few topics.</p>
<p>I’m keeping my schedule ‘decent’, as in 3 AP classes at school, Distance Learning/College Linear Algebra/ Calc 3, French online, and self studying Physics C and AP Chem. I really enjoy physics and know calculus fairly well, so I think I can hack at least 1 part of Physics C, and I’m studying for something beyond AP Chem, so I should be covered there. </p>
<p>For anyone wanting to know about the SATs, I didn’t study too much beyond looking at word lists and got 2190. The curve was pretty harsh unfortunately for CR and math- I made 2 mistakes for both sections :-/ and lost 40 and 60 points respectively. Writing, I did the worst on, and that was mainly cuz I bombed Section 10. The other writing section went very well, but I made an incredible number of errors in Section 10. I think I was just tired by the end (didn’t sleep well) and Sentence Fixing is my weakest type of question. The good news is that it’s the easiest section to get better at- practice, practice and more practice is in my future D: .</p>
<p>Math and CR, I think I just will revise and do more practice and hope for the best. </p>
<p>For subject tests, I’m writing Math 2 and Chem only, and possibly Bio/Physics if those don’t go well. I know kids who take 5 subject tests, but I’m too lazy to go to all that effort :P. </p>
<p>How has summer been for you guys? I start work in 9 days, so I’m mostly being lazy/half heartedly studying a bit.</p>
<p>All you guys talking about summer are making me jealous! I don’t get out until July.</p>
<p>You don’t get out in July? Lol, I’ll be getting ready for next year by then.</p>
<p>I play video games to relax. Right now I’m working at UPenn (yep, working at an ivy league school as a 15 year old- u jelly?) and summer’s been decent I guess. I’m just looking forward to the future everyday.</p>
<p>AP Language and composition
APUSH
Precalculus
Gym/health
AP Chemistry
AP Environmental Science
AP Physics B
AP Calculus AB</p>
<p>@ecounter Really? I though that they’re changing it to condense it so teachers can have more time teaching the subjects. I heard that the AP Biology curriculum will cover 36 chapters instead of 55 or 56 chapters from Campbell’s Biology book. Hmm, I don’t know lol, but that’s interesting.</p>
<p>@goldmind: May the odds be ever in your favor… </p>
<p>The AP Bio curriculum is changing so we can focus on the major topics needed to be successful in College Biology. Im guessing your average college bio course doesn’t cover botany or the body systems so the college board took it out. </p>

<p>^Oh okay, I knew they were taking out something lol. Thanks.</p>
<p>@goldmind: This may sound like a stupid question, but why are you taking precalculus and calculus?</p>
<p>^Some schools do “Calculus” differently. I’m guessing at his/her school you can take AP Calculus separately. In my school a student must take AP Calculus AB/BC and it’s a year long class and the students decided what AP exam to take AB or BC.</p>
<p>@Fantasy, yeah sorry- what Nate said is what I meant.</p>
<p>Ugh, all of your schedules scare me. Do you think mine is sufficiently rigorous? (I’m not being a showoff, I’m seriously concerned, cuz the system up here in Canada is quite different from the orthodox one in NY).</p>

<p>^You’re fine 
But I do agree with you about all these schedules. In my school 2 AP classes are considered to be enough, because only Juniors are allowed to take AP’s (AP World exception, only for sophomores). I feel like two is enough maybe three. My friend is taking 3, AP Lang, AP Psych and AP US. I’m like: YOU’RE GOING DIE, or YOU’RE FINGERS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF! That’s a lot of writing lol.</p>
<p>That’s exactly how my school is. You are considered insane to take more than 2 AP’s. Call me insane…

<p>^This one girl I know only took 2 AP’s her whole high school career and she was accepted into Wake Forest and William & Mary.</p>
<p>My school is a Full IB school and some people think that you’re stupid if you don’t take it but there’s also AP so you have a choice. I’m not doing Full IB, I’m doing 4 HL IB classes, one AP class which is a Double period and honors pre cal, but theres not IB/AP Precal</p>
<p><em>side note</em> @superstarlala I live near Bethesda lol. Another Marylander Yay~!</p>
<p>My school doesn’t offer IB courses, I think Urbana High does. I’ve always wanted to take an IB course, but it seems REALLY hard.</p>
<p>Eh, @my old high school, kids who got into Harvard and similar schools took 4- 5 AP classes in junior year, so I’m scared.</p>
<p>Still, I’m challenging myself in terms of my school by quite a bit (I’m going to have like 2 classes max at my high school senior year), so colleges should hopefully be ok with it.</p>
<p>@fantasy: Are you serious? Some people on this site take more than that their freshman year.</p>

<p>^ In my school, Freshman aren’t allowed to take AP classes, I don’t think where I live freshman aren’t allowed to. I think this should be enforced more. Freshman shouldn’t be overloaded with AP classes.</p>
