I haven’t started my over-break hw yet 
I feel like no matter the due date, I will always start the day before
@Calchong Niceee! Writing is so much fun, right?!
@1whatsmyname1 Hahah i had to write 2 chapters worth of reading notes (75 pages) for AP World and the day we get back, we have our reading quiz on it. Thank goodness we get to use our notes but still 
Is it bad that I’ve been so bored over break that I finished it the first week of break? I sound so lame… but i mean… who could do 75 pages the night before? That person would be truly gifted.
@SallyStephens Wow… AP World sounds like it sucks.
Ooh, I love writing too! Writing is life. And also editing people’s essays is the best (honestly, I’m glad I’m not an English teacher; some of the writing one sees in Honors English classes is atrocious). I actually want to minor in writing/creative writing/English (whichever one is offered) in college.
I’m only taking, what, 3 APs (Physics 1, APES, Calc BC) next year? But I’m also either taking Journalism or Spanish 4, both of which give as much homework as an AP, and Honors English, which is basically Lang except my school doesn’t offer Lang. I’m not going to kill myself and take APUSH, though (basically 40 pages of notes a night + almost no one gets an A); I need one easy class.
I enjoy writing, but I really hate the minuscule annoying grammar rules. Plus I am TERRIBLE at spelling
I’m bad at writing essays, but I can write a good research paper.
I have a bowling match next week that ends at 10:30 p.m. I have school the next day. Hopefully I don’t have much homework assigned.
Ugh speaking of APUSH-- what exactly have you guys heard about it???
I’ve never not gotten an A in a class and I don’t want APUSH to ruin my streak ahhhhhh. That’s so scary.
@SallyStephens I’m good at math, and thats why I’m self studying AP Stats. I can write, but not my strong suit lol. I love APUSH btw. I’m happy to have a B+ in that class if it means I will learn to write a damn good essay and learn a lot from my spunky teacher. lol I wouldn’t worry about ruining your steak. It is a deadly class, and every college knows that. I love it and wouldn’t have changed it for the world
@SallyStephens From what I’ve heard, it’s not that bad. A lot of reading and note taking, but nothing too bad (unlike what I’ve heard of AP Chemistry)
At my school, APUSH is the most notorious death class (AP Lit is another); you only take it if your other classes aren’t too difficult or you’re really interested in history. It’s a really great class, but very work-intensive. I’d take it, but I don’t think I’d be able to handle it with two sciences (one of which is also very work-intensive) and colorguard).
However, our death classes are also some of the best classes on campus.
At my school, APUSH appears to be relatively easy. I’ve asked a guy who’s failing our math class how difficult it is, and he said it’s really easy, the teacher is great and he has an A. So I’m gonna take it next year. I also want to take AP Gov and AP Psych eventually.
Not sure someone who’s failing a class would be your best candidate for advice…
Well, if they’re failing one class and have an A in another, I’d assume the class they have an A in is easier.
I agree. When I found out he was earning an A in APUSH, I realized either APUSH is a pretty decent (easy-ish) class at my school or he really sucks at math. Probably a little bit of both.
I guess it really just depends on the school.
hahahaha okay thanks guys! I’ll have to ask around about mine. The APUSH teacher just came here this year so everyone’s saying she’s inexperienced and it’s her first year teaching EVER, let alone teaching an AP course.
@livelaugh7 She looked about our age. I can’t blame her too bad, though.
It turned out I had taken the last PSAT book in the whole library, and the newest PSAT or SAT publication. Lucky me!
I can’t wait until the SAT 2016 book is published. Since the test is changing I think it’s more crucial to have the newest book. But I may get assaulted trying to get it. I think I’ll just pre-order.
When the SAT first changed in 2005, only 107 out of 300,000 students got perfect scores on the debut test. I think it’s very impressive to have a high score on a standardized test that was just changed dramatically. We should try our best.
Tests are about time management and quick thinking, more so than knowledge. I think it’s best to start occasionally practicing as early as possible. My mother made me take the PSAT for practice when I was ten. I have heard of some people taking expensive SAT prep courses in 7th grade. That’s a little ridiculous, but the point is it’s best to develop these skills as early as possible.
@Princess563 my friend (also a sophomore) took PSAT prep this year.
Like what?
Also, I’m really worried my high PSAT score this year was a fluke…
I’m thinking to just avoid the SAT 1 completely and try the ACT. I really dislike how the new SAT is being implemented during our crucial year
I finally receive my access code for my PSAT results, and the College Board website is down for maintenance. :’(
