High School Class of 2014

<p>I think those are all AP Physics B topics.</p>

<p>@quidditchcat, yeah same stuff. I’m in Physics C too, so my teacher had to give us one day to teach us thermodynamics, waves, and sound. All that business.</p>

<p>We couldn’t bring anything to do, so I had half hour chunks of time counting the letters on a sign (437) and the ceiling tiles (well over 1,000). I would have killed someone for a book.</p>

<p>How are you guys doing with AP tests coming up very soon?</p>

<p>I’m only mildly freaking out about my AP Lang test but thinking of the AP Latin one send me into hysterics. Speaking of stupid standardized testing, my school has the High School Assessments that are so watered down a fiver year old could pass them. The Board of Ed can’t decide if they want to keep the government HSA or not so they got rid of it last year and then brought it back, just for the juniors! It doesn’t even get put on our report card like the English, Algebra, and English ones, so you know that most people aren’t going to even try to pass it.</p>

<p>Freaking out over Physics C: E&M and kinda for Physics C: Mechanics.</p>

<p>AP exams I’m only taking one “AP Human Geo” I am not worried at all. Reading a chapter from Barrons a day. I am almost 80% certain I’ll get a 5. I kind of regret not taking AP Computer Science exam, I’m in the class…but the school I want to go to doesn’t accept the credit for anything much…I need like a 4,5 to get out of a free elective. I just didn’t think it was worth it. I’ll still have 5 AP exams under my belt when I go into college…figure that is enough…I am obviously not the average CC.</p>

<p>We already took two of our “Keystone” state exams last January, passed both math and reading, except science we take that during the week of AP HG exam I think…its the stupidest planning…give the state test only juniors take their on the week of the AP exam that most juniors take “think we have like 60 of the 270 juniors taking AP Human Geo”.</p>

<p>The AP Latin exam will be the death of me. That is all.</p>

<p>I just realized I am taking only math and science exams this year: AP Stat, AP Calc, AP Physics C - both parts, AP Bio.</p>

<p>Taking Biology, Chemistry, Calculus BC, Statistics, US History, US Government, English Literature. </p>

<p>I’m most concerned about US History and US Government.</p>

<p>We don’t seem to be talking about summer programs anymore, but I got into the Physics of Atomic Nuclei program at Michigan State. I was pretty surprised.</p>

<p>It’s sad that out of those seven tests you find those two to be the worst.</p>

<p>They were mostly self-studied and the others weren’t. And I suck at timed writing (which means I should be scared about English too, but at least I know I’ll do well on the multiple-choice in English).</p>

<p>Oh gosh, my school would NEVER let students take that many tests! My school has a reputation for suicides after a string of 7 suicides in one school year. So, obviously they decided to make it “less stressful”</p>

<p>I only have US History.</p>

<p>My school never limits us from taking as many APs as we want. Its more of a problem that nobody wants to take them. I don’t think there is a single person except the valedictorian and maybe a few others taking all the core APs/Pr-APs.</p>

<p>Awww I didn’t win my school’s elections. I ran for VP. I’m running for class office also, but I’m not very popular so I have no hope lol</p>

<p>I find out if I’m secretary tomorrow.</p>

<p>@gnastygnorc: yeah, it’s the complete opposite at my school. The average number of AP classes taken in just junior/senior year (we’re not allowed to take AP classes as frosh/soph) is 10. </p>

<p>@superstarlala: Yeah, exactly why I decided not to get involved in school politics. I know a lot of people, a lot of people know me, but would they vote for me? Nahhh</p>

<p>@TinnyT: Good luck! (Although there’s not much else you could do to improve your chances than twiddling your thumbs)</p>

<p>Anyone know if the state ACT scores come back earlier than regular ones?</p>

<p>What are state ACT scores?</p>
