<p>We lucked out :D</p>
<p>The frosh also have to take the experimental PSAT in Fall 2015</p>
<p>Thank goodness, the new SAT sounds like bs.</p>
<p>from what i understand the SAT is going to be easier</p>
<p>So, is the SAT somewhat being formatted to seem more like the ACT or…?</p>
<p>From what I read yes. I also think they dumbed it down because more people took the ACT then the SAT last year. Something along the lines of that.</p>

<p>It does seem like it’s going to be easier, but it also seems a lot more annoying. Supporting answers with in-text quotations…? Ugh. Standardized tests will always be standardized tests…I’m still convinced that this is just a ploy to get more money.</p>
<p>This just makes me want to get a 2400 more. Being one of the last 2400s issued would be neat.</p>

<p>wow, two of my friends/classmates were offered amazing scholarships today… one was offered a full ride to duke and the other the morehead-cain scholarship to unc!</p>
<p>@loltired - Good for them! Are they seniors?</p>
<p>@loltired: if I it was one of Duke’s merit scholarships, would you mind PMing me his/her stats?</p>
<p>So I kind of had a falling out with my AP Cal tutor. </p>
<p>Thank FSM for Khan Academy, amirite</p>
<p>Ugh I’m really stressed out with AP World. My teacher is really inconsistent when it comes to the work load he gives us. He gave us a month for one chapter in the textbook, but this week he only gave us a week for 5 chapters. I’m a huge procrastinator and the test is on Tuesday and I haven’t started yet. I just find this period of history really boring and I don’t want to trudge through it.</p>
<p>@Bardinators - Same…40 class days until the exam. We’re still on the French Rev.</p>
<p>French Revolution? Ouch. We did that back around January/February, and we still had 9 or 10 snow days</p>
<p>My class just got done with the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Our test was on Tuesday.</p>
<p>I’m too lazy to start AP gov review. How long do you all think is a reasonable amount of time to review? </p>
<p>So I just looked over the RSI application (can’t apply this year; going to next year) just to see what types of stuff show up on the app, and it was disheartening. They want you to include a 1-2 page attachment of awards/accomplishments, but I haven’t won anything noteworthy yet. I planned to do most of my award winning junior year. :/</p>

We are on World War I/transition between the world wars. Apparently, we are behind though. </p>
<p>We’re currently doing the Haitian Revolution/Latin American Revolutions through Neo-Imperialism </p>
