<p>Okay so am I the only one who didn’t finish a section? I need practice with that because I guess I took too long to answer the questions.</p>
<p>^ I finished everything, just wish I had more time to go back and think more about some CR questions.</p>
<p>@loltired Tell me how that schedule goes it looks impossible</p>
<p>Slytherclaw12 No, haha. I need to work on that too. I read slow, so I usually just skim through the stories and attempt the questions. I got through every question in the math section, but skipped like three.</p>
<p>Lol, the PSAT was horrible for me. I didn’t answer 7 math questions, and had trouble with some of the vocabulary in the critical reading section. As for writing, which I am best at, I didn’t get to answer 4 questions because my proctor gave us 25 minutes instead of 30
Oh well, it’s just for practice. By the way, there is a tumblr page about the PSAT: <a href=“http://officialpsat.■■■■■■■■■■/”>http://officialpsat.■■■■■■■■■■/</a></p>
<p>@eno haha omg wow totally following that tumblr.</p>
<p>haha i don’t have school today :)</p>
<p>Quarter ends next Friday. Time is going so fast. 5/16 of the way done with highschool. I’m relatively happy with my grades</p>
<p>Do you guys have 99/100s in all your classes? Just curious…that’s always been my standard and I used to be really unhappy at myself because I could never achieve that (history always brought it down), but I’m actually alright with my grades right now, even though they’re nowhere near perfect.</p>
<p>catchinginfinity I’ve never achieved that. I was always kind of jealous of my friends grades, because they always got a higher final grade than me, but I’m okay with it now… kind of. Is everyone ready for midterms?</p>
<p>CR- slightly harder than practice tests. i skipped a question about the woman’s newspaper article (last one, i believe?) i also had troubles with the environmental farming double passages. finished all with 5 minutes free.</p>
<p>math - easier than practice exams. but i skipped one regarding four digits w/ 8 in the hundreds digit and multiples of 5, skipped another one regarding the surface area of a rectangle and two pyramids. had troubles finishing but managed to finish all.</p>
<p>writing - by far the easiest section. finished with 5 minutes free.</p>
<p>ugh, overall i’m feeling pretty iffy about this test. i will need to study 100x harder if i want to be finalist. well… now time to focus on retaking that chemistry subject test and study for the real SATs</p>
<p>also ironic how CR was my most confident section during my practice exams yet it was my worst section i did on the psats. also ironic how writing was my weakest section during practice exams yet i felt i did the best on it.</p>
<p>hahah good luck with the PSAT’s, guys! </p>
<p>catchinginfinity- hahaha def not. my highest is a 96.9 (so far) for accounting. it’s not even one of those core academic subjects lol i have an 84.7 for history (regular!) right now but it’s bound to go up if he puts in my test and quizzes (and I’ve done well in those) </p>
<p>@55al00m- ehh. my grades are alright. i think im capable of doing better though, because I still try hard and just mess up on tests/ quizzes. :(</p>
<p>@gbrl10- haha my school doesnt give midterms! we just hve finals at the end. people call me lucky but i kinda want midterms too. it’s way too hard studying everything we’ve learned since September to mid June… Finals week is the worst…</p>
<p>I mean mine are by no means grade especially in the context of my school(which is sucky). I like all A+ which I don’t have. I just missed like 6 days of school and screwed up a bunch of stuff upon returning so I’m okay with how they turned out.
Chem 1 h- 99.6
Accounting 1- 96
French 3- 100.7
Comm lit 2 h- 99.6
Physics- 98.2 ( probably going to go up bc I just turned in some extra credit and we had a super easy test)
World studies- 99
Algebra 2- 93.3 (there’s the killer)
I’m really not happy with algebra. I screwed up a test and 2 quizzes and that’s the result. He also only has test and quiz scores in the grade book.</p>
<p>On another note.
Do your schools do exchange students and stuff? We just got some Germans for like 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Good* grades especially</p>
<p>whoa you have really really good grades! hahaha good job! youre so lucky.</p>
<p>creative writing h- 91.2
chinese 3 h- 96.1
english- 95.4
accounting 1- 96.9
bio h- 90.8
driver ed- 89.7
alg 2 h- 96.6
euro history- 84.7 but this is def gonna go up.</p>
<p>haha nope; no exchange students. however, every october or november, south korean students visit our classes and see how US classes are like.</p>
<p>Mine are (UW):
Chem H: 100
Band: 100
Health: 100
AP World: 96 (but the teacher graded my test wrong, so projected to go up by 1 or 2 points)
Trig: 97
Spanish: 97
English: 95…
AP Stats: 88 LOL but hopefully it’ll bounce back up to a 90 after test corrections
Gym: Not in yet, but teacher always gives 95s (argh, gym always lowers my grade)</p>
<p>I’m okay with my grades, just wish my English and Stats grades weren’t so low. I wouldn’t be complaining about a 95 if that class wasn’t ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>There’s a new German exchange student! But that’s pretty much the only new kid we’ve had from a foreign country in a long, long time. Things are pretty boring around here. :P</p>
<p>We usually have a couple each year. Last year one from Germany and I’m not sure where the other guy was from. This year one from Italy and another from France. </p>
<p>My parents are already asking about Christmas stuff so I think I’ll use this as a chance to get money and stock up on SAT and AP prep stuff. What are you guys doing to prepare for the SATs or ACT and how much did it cost? Also, I really want to self study Comparative Gov but I’m really nervous about not being able to prepare myself well enough and do bad.</p>
