<p>My last day was Thursday, the 23rd. </p>
<p>Hope you enjoy prom, Studious!</p>
<p>I’ve been off school for a couple days too.</p>
<p>My school year starts in September and we go to June</p>
<p>Yeah, see, I’m pretty sure we all have the same number of school days. </p>
<p>What SAT II Subjects should I take? I’m retaking Math because I did horribly (690) on it. Mistimed myself. Hopefully will do better since I am making myself do it with less time than is standard just in case. I’ll probably take Physics instead of retaking Chem (did horribly on this also) since I just finished AP Physics C. I have the prep book for the Physics SAT test… </p>
<p>Also is it really necessary for me to retake the SAT in October? First time I took it, I got a 2150 (800 Wr, 680 M, 670 CR) and the second time I got a 2250 (770 Wr, 700 M, 780 CR). My mom’s only complaint is that the math isn’t a 800.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you think a 690 is terrible, especially if it was your first time!!! I know I got a 720 on physics and I’m not even in an AP physics class this year!!</p>
<p>Well the thing is all my friends didn’t even study for it and got 800s and they don’t even skip a grade in math. So naturally I freaked out that I didn’t get a 800. I think I am an aberration because I’m like the only one who can’t get an 800 on SAT Math (Both on the SAT and SAT II). </p>
<p>So what do you think about the SAT (normal SAT) scores? It makes me seem like such a humanities person, right? but I’m so totally not</p>
<p>for you who got an 750-800 on critical reading and writing, do you have any advice for the SAT, i am averaging on practice tests around 590-620 for reading and 610-670 for writing
Thanks!</p>
<p>My school never gives out schedules until the first day of school. I’m taking all dual-enrollment classes, though, so that doesn’t affect me this year. :)</p>
<p>^
I mean, we fill out schedule forms in March and we have a pretty good idea what classes we’ll be taking, so we can do summer work for the AP classes we signed up for. But we don’t know if we’ll get every class we want, or the order of our classes, until the first day of school.</p>
<p>I.hate.satii’s.***</p>
<p>Hey, if anyone wants to give me feedback on my strength of schedule that would be great! I’m aiming for top 10/top 20 universities. If you wish to post your courseload, that’s great too!</p>

<p>Note: all dual enrollment courses are one semester. Also if anyone wants more info on the AS/A levels I’m taking, you can visit <a href=“http://www.cie.org.uk%5B/url%5D”>www.cie.org.uk</a>
I think this program should be instituted as a serious alternative to AP and IB in the US</p>
<p>Hopefully we can get a good discussion going about the strength of schedule among the class of 2014!</p>
<p>^
Like I said, that’s the implicit title of every thread on here. :D</p>
<p>“good discussion going about the strength of schedule”</p>
<p>Kind of an oxymoron, but I’m really bored so I’ll go along with it. </p>
<p>So everything looks very rigorous, but how are you taking so many classes senior year?</p>
