<p>@TinnyT the tiles and touchbased interface are what drives me nuts. And it’s still a little buggy IMO. But all new laptops have it so I guess I’ll just have to get used to it :(</p>
<p>I am pretty confident with my test. I did extremely well on my math and writing sections, but did mediocre on reading. My experimental section was reading. I think i wrote a pretty good essay. my examples were MLK and a made up personal experience. Overall I am happy with my test, but i am going to dread the next 19 days haha. </p>
<p>Thoughts on the test?</p>
<p>I’m cautiously optimistic. My goal was 2300+ and I think I may have done it.</p>
<p>^^My experimental was reading ad all of them were hard. Especially since I had 2 back to back readings twice. Like 2 readings, then math, then 2 more readings. My examples were a made up French Author, a personal experience, and a general thing about leaders.</p>
<p>Taking the SAT in March, so far just studying on the weekends…but now in February I may start studying every other day and taking practice tests on weekends.</p>
<p>@Superstarlala I think my experimental was reading as well, do you know which one was the experimental one?</p>
<p>Studying for this APUSH final has to be the most time consuming and irritating task.</p>
<p>How can you tell which one is experimental?? I remember one of the reading ones being harder than the others too though</p>
<p>Time to go work on summer internship apps…</p>
<p>There are three of each type (math, CR, writing) and one extra, which can be of any type. Whichever type has 4, you know must have the experimental section. Then you can talk to other people to determine which of the 4 it was.</p>
<p>I got some of my midterms back, here they are:
-English 100
-chemistry 107
-precalc 90 (brings my average down a bit, but still an A)</p>
<p>Last two exams today… finally.</p>
<p>APUSH: 86
Lang & Comp: 86 (my study session was 20 minutes … thank god I didn’t fail)
Computer Repair: 100
AP Chem: Took today</p>
<p>Microsoft Applications: 97
PreCalc: ??
Chorus: Took today</p>
<p>So, pretty freaking awesome, considering they don’t reflect how much I studied (thank god).</p>
<p>Going hard semester 2. </p>
<p>Also, I got an extra point on my Q1 average for chem because my teacher graded something wrong incorrectly on a test (bumped my 87.47 to an 87.89 → 88). And my math teacher finally put in my extra credit (93 to 94).</p>
<p>So, I now have A’s in everything for semester 1, sans exam grades.
So happy; I survived my first ever semester of AP classes, hahaha.</p>
<p>I hate second semester… </p>
<p>I have a 65 in AP Chemistry 2 and I just got a F on a pre-calculus quiz. 
I really want this year to end.</p>
<p>It’ll be over before you know it. :)</p>

<li><p>waves to you all -
Hello Class of 2014! I’m kind of at a loss as to what else to say, so I guess I’ll just type out the current courses I’m taking. (:</p></li>
<li><p>AP Statistics</p></li>
<li><p>AP Government/AP Economics (in Texas they are half year courses)</p></li>
<li><p>AP Computer Science 2</p></li>
<li><p>AP English 3</p></li>
<li><p>AP Spanish 4</p></li>
<li><p>Pre-AP Physics</p></li>
<li><p>AP French 4</p></li>
<li><p>AP Calculus BC</p></li>
</ul>
<p>I’m looking forward to second semester but it’s going to be so much work. Thankfully, it’s both the shorter and sunnier of the two :). (I think I seriously feel more down during winter)</p>
<p>second semester is OK for me. Basically, all I do is study second semester. First semester, its meh because I have to finish my summer projects/competition material… This is why this year, I better get into a program.</p>
<p>Finals are tomorrow. I should be studying but finals will not change my grade significantly, if at all. My GPA for this semester is 3.67 UW and 4.83 W. Not the all A’s I wanted but content nonetheless there’s always next semester. And 2nd semester is our last opportunity to show colleges what we can do.</p>
<p>Any advice on how to prevent a teacher from losing assignments? :x I currently have 5-6 zeros in the grade book right now that’s significantly dropping my grade, and my teacher claims it’s my fault.
This is happening to several other students as well.
I tried taking a picture of me turning my assignments in, but she gave me a detention for having electronics out.</p>
<p>I hate AP Chemistry, because the teacher teaches to the test. That class is insanely terrible.</p>
<p>Propinquity, have you tried talking to an administrator?</p>
