@SirSly so should I. I have all these unused SAT books that are dying to be opened.
@iamnotironman I got an 85 on my semester final, but I’m 99% sure two of the questions I got wrong (85% means I got 3 wrong) were because our teacher didn’t tell us what “simplify” meant so I expanded expressions further… The third question was because I forgot to restrict the domain of my answer by putting absolute value in it (it was root of like, 4sec^2). Ahh I wish we had partial credit/curves on our tests. That’s sad that you can’t take Calc BC, though. I really want to take college math (preferably MVC/Linear Algebra) senior year, so I have to take Calc BC next year (well, technically C++/Discrete doesn’t need Calc). I don’t know what I would have done if I had gotten a B in that class.
The cheater ended up with an 89% as his semester grade (with the curve). HAHAHAHAHA. I really hope my teacher doesn’t give him any points back when he begs for them (I know he will). And I probably won’t have to sit behind him again because we’re switching seats.
@pseudoprimal I occasionally listen to Pandora; whichever radio I feel like at the moment. Half the time it’s film scores, and the other half is generally OneRepublic or Bastille radio. Or whatever I decide to click on.
I listen to Pandora basically everyday when I study / do homework. I’m very into alternative music, and Lana Del Rey is my favorite artist. <3
I have old SAT and ACT books from 2011 from my sister. I don’t really trust them but I don’t want to spend more money to buy new ones. I was just thinking about all of the standardized tests I’m gonna have to take next year:
- Old SAT
- New SAT
- ACT
- SAT Math Level 2
- SAT Biology (not quite sure about this one)
- AP English Lit
- AP USH
- AP Calc BC
- AP Bio or Physics
- AP Psychology
- IB SL Spanish exam
- IB English exam
- IB History exam
- IB Bio or Physics
- IB Psychology (maybe)
This is if I do the full IB diploma. Not quite sure. In any case, these will cost a lot of money!
That really stinks you don’t get partial credit. My teacher is really fair in that way- if our work shows that we know how to do something, we’ll get half credit or something like that.
@SallyStephens @FaultyStart snow is common where I live, but I just love the look of it and getting off of school because of it.
I wish it snowed where I live.
It snowed during winter break in SoCal. I believe it was the first substantial snowfall in around 50 years. It was pretty cool to see but I also understand why some people don’t like snow now.
Hahaha it never snows in the Bay Area. Ever.
I live in the D.C. area so it is supposed to snow some tonight, tomorrow, and Tuesday. I love snow days because it gives me time to relax.
I just finished a 2011 SAT Book and I will keep going up until 2013 and then when I’m finished with those, I’ll buy a 2015 one.
We got SAT books from our neighbors (they have a senior) xD #asianstyle (not spending money)
Sometimes my friends and I wonder what it’s going to be like when we go to college and our school isn’t 86% Asian anymore. I swear Asians make the most Asian jokes. Also, it’s really really fun to prank call people with an Indian accent.
@topaz1116 alright, that shows the cheater
oh and yeah i second topaz1116. IT NEVER SNOWS HERE. Although it did almost snow once in my area.
@Cornbread1999 idk we’ve had rime a couple of times (which I thought was snow at the time, but I was in elementary school and didn’t know anything), but that’s the closest it’s gotten. Ughh…
@topaz1116 I once thought that hail was snow. It doesn’t even hail that often here.
Hahaha xD I remember once we were in like Minnesota and it was hailing and we were in a rental car and we had to hide under a bridge xD
@topaz1116 lol. I remember running out into the hail and yelling, “It’s snowing! It’s snowing”. People were staring.
Then there was this other time that I thought that “girlfriend” was simply just one’s female friend. Uggh that was awkward.
We got a lot of snow where I live yesterday, and I had to spend 2 exhausting hours shoveling in the freezing cold, it’s not that great.
Snow days are no longer days off, they have just become more time to study and do homework. X_X
My school is one of the schools doing the trial runs for the NEW SAT and PSAT.
So next weekend I get to be a guinea pig for 5 hours. I’ll let you all know how it is. (I’ll be taking the new SAT)
The school is actually paying us $25, so a LOT of kids are going, should be interesting…
@spiral7 our school “wants” us to take the new SAT. They forbade me from taking the PSAT this year, because I would supposedly take the new PSAT next year and then the New SAT after that.
I had already planned to take the SAT in either May or October.
In addition, I plan to take SAT Subject tests in Math level 2 and Chemistry in June. In addition, I have the AP Chinese test in May.
Bowled 150 in a tournament today! Now I just have to finish all of my homework…
