<p>@Faultystart my class is learning stoichiometry right now, although I learned it a while back. My teacher teaches really basic stuff, and it annoys me; I’d like to be properly prepared for APs, thank you very much.</p>
<p>I have an Engineering quiz, a Spanish presentation, and a history test tomorrow (lolol but ain’t nobody got time for studying; Engineering can’t be studied for, Spanish I just have to memorize some lines, and history… that’s what Read is for).</p>
<p>I’m learning stiochiometry as well. </p>
<p>I have my Spanish, AP gov and chem finals tomorrow </p>
<p>So I just received an email from PSAT telling me that my scores are here and to log into My College Quickstart to see and assess my scores with the access code I got from my counselor. My counselor gave no such code. ??? No one at my school has mentioned the PSAT since we took it (or the PLAN test).</p>
<p>I think you should ask your counselor. The code is on the score sheet I believe so he or she has to give it to you.</p>
<p>Wow, that AP Chemistry final was so hard! I probably guessed on 10 out of 50 questions. Definitely the hardest chemistry test I’ve taken and it might be the hardest test I’ve taken all year! I guess that’s what happens when the teacher doesn’t review at all. Probably gonna drop my grade down to a B. Wow, 2 Bs in one year!</p>
<p>Edit: Oh wow, I just looked at the grades and it says I got a 108.1% on the final! The teacher must’ve curved it A LOT! I wasn’t expecting that!</p>
<p>Another edit: Yes, he curved it out of 37 and I got 40 right.</p>
<p>@dsi411 Nice. I wish my AP Gov teacher would do that for our final</p>
<p>Yes, I am very grateful.</p>
<p>I’ve gone through 5 tissue boxes in three days. Ugh.
On a better note, I’m pretty sure my chemistry teacher will definitely curve the exam.
@dsi411 How do you know your grades so soon? Do you take your exams online or something?</p>
<p>@Faultystart I took it today and since its a scantron I’m guessing the teacher just had to put the scantrons in the machine so it was really fast and easy. Then I checked my grades online when I got home. It’s so great when teachers are so fast at grading!</p>
<p>@dsi411 At least you know how you did now. I get to wait until January. </p>
<p>Has anyone else’s Winter break started? I feels good to be on break even though I have some homework for APWH.
Also, it’s been approximately 2 hours since final grades have been posted (about 4 hours since Winter Break started).
These are my final semester grades:
Honors English II- A
Honors Algebra 2- A
Honors Chemistry- A
AP World History- A
Spanish I- A
Drafting- B
I am not surprised about Drafting since I didn’t try although this was in part due to my teacher’s inability to teach. The rest of my classes were ridiculously easy. I feel that my teachers made the classes way too easy. A note about H. Chemistry: We only covered significant figures, properties of matter, physical/chemical changes, density, gas laws, states of matter, energy bar graphs, and writing lab reports. Did my teacher fail to cover all the topics or is that it for 1st semester H. Chemistry?</p>
<p>I wish my classes curved our grades. The grade you get is grade you get. No curving here :(</p>
<p>If it were, my grades would be SOOOOOOO high</p>
<p>Same here. Teachers at my school seem to be almost allergic to giving out A’s… </p>
<p>@MetallicPigeon Well, every school has different rigor of courses. In my school, honors chemistry just finished covering significant digits, specific heat and heat capacity, molarity, mole conversions, empirical and molecular formulas, nomenclature of acids, bases, polyatomic ions, and bonary covalent/ionic compounds, basic stoichiometry, balancing equations, oxidation reduction reactions, the Archimedes Principle, isotopes, mass spectroscopy, atomic structure and theory, and a little more. However, like I said, every school is different.</p>
<p>@MetallicPigeon my hn chem class finished chap 1-11 in the Prentice Hall book and we plan to finish the whole book by may- there are 24 chapters. we learned stuff like moles, basic quantum mechanics, electron configuration, dot diagrams, molecular geometry, formulas, balancing equations, and naming compounds and molecules. The curriculum varies depending on where you are, so dont worry too much. You may just end up having a harder time in AP chem if you plan on taking it. If youre really concerned, just watch some crash course or go on khan academy to catch up.</p>
<p>My honors Chemistry class is a joke. My teacher finally got fired last week (she never taught she just sat in her desk and patted her wig so annoying) anyways she made a super hard midterm on things we never even covered ever. The curve was 39 points. LOL I ended up with a 93 I guess I got a 54 without the curve. Anyways the spanish midterm everyone thought was going to get a curve didn’t because I got a 97 and that’s exactly what I thought I would get without the curve and I was expecting it to be 10x worse than it ended up being so that was a plus. I have one more midterm tomorrow… AP World History and I’ve been studying all week so I think I will be fine for the test…</p>
<p>The history test I had today was absurdly hard; I probably would have gotten the same score even if I had studied properly (and I did really badly). Like, my teacher asked specific things about the racial makeup of Nigeria before imperialism (this stuff was barely mentioned in the book at all, and usually she’s not that tricky). It dropped my grade in the class to an 89.89 D: I mean, it’ll be easy to raise, but still. I really hope she curves it, since I’m pretty sure no one got 100%. </p>
<p>…everyone at school gets excited to watch a game of the city’s professional team even though we just lost 4 games in a row. My history midterm’s tomorrow, and even though I’m in nonAP class, it’s going to cover a lot of material.</p>
<p>@iamnotironman We use the same book for honors chemistry. We got through chapter 12.</p>
<p>I got an 90.75% in AP Government this semester and my teacher will put it in as an A and not a A-. On the other hand, i got an 86% in AP Macroeconomics. I now have to Bs on my transcript. My college dreams are ruined </p>
<p>@tigerman i really hope youre being sarcastic lol. My school doesnt even let sophomores take APs. It’s so dumb cause im bored out of my mind in school and have too much free time while taking the hardest classes a soph can take(all hns, precalc). Also my school is the only school i know of that makes everything 93 or higher an A, so a 92 is a B for me which SUCKS(in freshman hn west civ i got a 92.3…UGH). but idk if colleges know about our different grading scale. Ive asked many people about it and I get a different answer every time… anyone here know anything about this?</p>
