<p>@afroninja26 Pretty sure there are better ways to save tax dollars, other than murdering murderers.</p>
<p>Anyway…I’m starting to research sports subsidies for the debate season</p>
<p>This is totally unrelated, but, I just found out my schedule today, and I only have AP Physics 1 and not 2 (I’m on block scheduling). AP Physics 1 doesn’t cover everything for the SAT Physics test. Should I buy a prep book so that I can learn the rest the material, or just take a different subject test? </p>
<p>How big is the deficit? I was going to take Physics 1 and then the subject sat as well,</p>
<p>physics 1 is probably just mechanics, which is probably the more ideal thing to self-study imo
physics 2 is probably E/M and is probably the more difficult self-study topic</p>
<p>try taking physics 2 in school if it doesn’t require 1 (or self-study 1 and place into 2)</p>
<p>Or if you want to go hardcore, self-study Physics C Mechanics and Electromagnetism</p>
<p>I’ve taken AP Physics B and took a practice Physics SAT II exam, I would say that AP Physics 1 covers topics that take up a lot of the questions on the SAT II but AP Physics 2 covers the harder subjects in the SAT II exam. It’s a really hard decision, I actually struggled with the perceived easier subjects at first and did a lot better with the harder ones. If you have any Physics background you could probably skip into AP Physics 2, but it’s not easy for everybody. </p>
<p>to whoever said self study physics C, you sir, are special.</p>
<p>lol I suck at science so nahh I’ll just wait on the AP test. Having both of my sat2s being social studies is bad for showing variety but at this point variety can suck it.</p>
<p>I have absolutely no background in physics, so maybe I should just take biology instead. If most of the questions are based on the topics on AP Physics 1, maybe I can get a prep book and study what I don’t know. </p>
<p>has anyone thought of MITES? I know this was asked before, I just can’t remember who has</p>
<p>I’m really thinking of MITES, I just really love free programs. </p>
<p>same!! I keep getting into programs I simply can’t afford</p>
<p>yeah i usually don’t bother to apply if it has a cost, the only thing im worried about with mites is transportation costs because it’s required we cover that. I live near LA and a plane ticket to Boston and back would cost around 800-1200 dollars. It’s not crazy expensive but it would be pretty hard to come by considering my parents are struggling to pay for my brothers college. I could probably try getting a summer job to pay for it though, but it seems like an issue.</p>

I’d like to participate in the discussion/debate in the other thread as well; someone tag me in a post? I’ll join in/read these posts in their entirety after I’ve moved in to my dorm in the morning.</p>
<p>@hailbo did you consider having your parents drive you?</p>
<p>and would you happen to know when the app is out?</p>
<p>@AmbiD77</p>
<p>A drive would be a pretty long one just to drop me off, it would probably take a few days, plane ticket is first option so far, $1000 isn’t too bad but I’ll try to look for financial aid. </p>
<p>The application was released November 18th 2013 for the 2014 program so it should be a while before we can actually get one.</p>
<p>If anyone reading this has access to last year’s MITES app, I’d appreciate your sharing it with me. I want to get a feel for it before the app for this year is released. </p>
