<p>Wow! Everyone has such high PSAT scores! I only got 159 lol</p>
<p>I feel like I’ll make it really awkward.
Snow delay 
</p>
<p>The genius guy in my grade just got a 237 on the PSAT - with no previous exposure to the SAT.</p>
<p>Be right back crying because I’m not going to get into college with these people in my grade.</p>
<p>^LOL this was like 20% of my grade(230s all around). I’ve already given up any hopes on Ivys with the people i have in my grade</p>
<p>lol the genius kid in my grade got a 800 in math in 6th or 7th grade without any prep and he self studied AP Physics C, E&M and Mechanics and got 5s. sigh</p>
<p>@anonemuss - Probably 90% of my grade is made up of delinquents…(as in, probably around 60% of the 90% scored less than 120). The other 10%, though, is so competitive. D: If someone gets a 100 on a curved test and someone else gets a 102, it’s death. And doing extracurriculars behind everyone’s back, saying you got a lower score than you actually did, putting up a facade as a person who maintains a 100 average without studying but actually studying your butt off behind the scenes…it gets tiring sometimes.</p>
<p>I really don’t like people</p>

<p>This was sad to read</p>
<p>You guys get curves on tests? lucky. 
the only curved test i’ll get this semester is probably the state chemistry exam</p>
<p>I get curved like crazy on AP Physics, I’ve gotten 130%'s on tests, its curved that badly. AP Euro sometimes gets curved like one or two questions if the general score is bad.</p>
<p>We sometimes get curves on AP Unit tests, but even then no one gets 100%, lol. Our school policy prevents extra credit and grades over 100%, so yeah.</p>
<p>My easiest class curves… lol spanish ftw</p>
<p>I only have a curve for AP World History Unit Exams. I wish it was curved the same way AP Euro is curved at my school - top 30 percentile of scores is an A.</p>
<p>I don’t have any curved classes. My world studies teacher does some kind of weird conversion instead of giving raw scores though . I don’t have any APs so I’m not sure if the two we have are curved. chem 2 tests are curved.</p>
<p>My school is actually 98% delinquent. There are a maybe two other people who are competitive, but one of them is only book smart. She lacks general intelligence and the ability to apply what she learns. The other person is pretty cool. </p>
<p>I’d say I’m pretty cutthroat when it comes to my school. I’m the only person in my school who knows of CC and, as a result, I’m the only person here who knows that having a laundry list of ECs is not a good idea for college admissions. There’s a girl who wants to get into Stanford, but she came here from China a few years ago and doesn’t know the system. As a result, she doesn’t know the type of stuff you have to do (SAT II’s, good ECs, etc.) to get in. Seeing as how I’m the only one here who knows about that kind of stuff, I make sure to keep everything I’m doing on the down low. It’s tiring, but I should decrease my competition where I can.</p>
<p>We get slight curves on AP World tests. Usually each question is worth 2% and the teacher gives us a “freebie” question, so you can technically get a 102% if you originally got every question correct. Since the value of every question is doubled, though, you can’t get 100 or over if you didn’t actually get everything correct.</p>
<p>
I mean, it’s not always like that. School is, dare I say, enjoyable sometimes (like today). But yeah, my school day is generally kind of stressful. /: I feel like the competition is a little overbearing and exorbitant at times. Sometimes I just completely lose all motivation to study because of it - like now, haha. It’s 12:30 and I really should have studied chemistry earlier.</p>
<p>@TeamRocket - So are you basically val? Sounds kind of nice having only 3 or 4 “competitors” (for lack of a better word).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This was sad to read…</p>
<p>^Yeah, I kinda sympathize with her.</p>
<p>I have gigantic curves for my tests in Multivariable Calculus. I got a 24/112 on my test today and it got curved up to an 85. This just shows how hard it is to earn points.</p>
<p>What is multivariable calculus? Is that what goes after Calculus AB and BC?</p>
