High School Class of 2017

Does anyone not recommend from going Algebra 2 w/Trig. Honors to AP Cal AB?

At my school the Algebra 2 they have what’s called Algebra 2 plus, and after that they have a class which is pre-calc for half the year and then AB for the second. However, I do know of some people who skipped and just did a full year of AB so, yes, it can be done. But I believe those students had to come in during summer and learn everything they missed. So if you study during summer it might work.

I’m planning to enter the Scholastic Art and Writing awards next year for digital art and possibly writing, but I don’t have an art teacher (also I’m probably delusional but ¯_(ツ)_/¯) any way around this?

@dsi411 Thanks!

Does anyone do anything in NHS?

Do you mean National Honors Society? If so, nope.
My brother, who’s a senior, is in the National Honor Society. I think they may give him info about scholarships and what-not, but I’m not seeing any visible actions.

I’m applying to NHS this month

@loquatical‌ Hi! Good luck if you enter the contest! I entered it this year, and my understanding was that you just have to have a teacher, not necessarily one who teaches the subject that you’re entering something in. I’m not sure if that’s true, but that’s what it seemed like to me :slight_smile:

@loquatical‌ maybe just put your English teacher for everything? I entered this year, but only for writing, so it was easier.

Is anyone going to take any SAT Subject Tests soon? I am going to take the SAT for Chemistry in June.

@greeneggsandsam9‌ I’m thinking I’m going to take lit or French this summer.

@greeneggsandsam9‌ Planning to take Math 1 in June, and maybe more. I don’t know yet.

Maybe I should take an SAT Subject Test. I guess I’ll research it now.

I should too.

do you think its ok to take a chemistry subject test after just honors chem?

I’m in regular chemistry (we have no honors chem or AP chem at my school) and I am taking the SAT in June. I am using the Barron’s book and some teacher support, and I am hoping to get in the low to mid 700s.

I think I’ll do Math level 2 and Chemistry in June. Sounds like a good idea to me.

@KE3299‌ You should go to the SAT Subject test site for Chemistry and see what is covered on the test. That way you can determine if you’ve learned it all already.

I think I’ll only take a subject test if a college requires it. I’ll probably take math 2 or us history if I have to

Some majors at the UCs require a math subject test and a science subject test, and since I don’t know what major I want to do yet, I think it’ll be a good idea for me do them just in case. And if I do them now and do well on both, I won’t have worry about it later!

I’m taking AP World now, and I looked at the World History subject test questions and I thought they were pretty easy. But would doing the World History SAT II help me in any way if I plan on doing a math or science major? Does anyone know? (Plus, the tests cost money so I have to choose wisely).

I’m taking Math II and Chem in June. I’ve already taken Bio E…

I’m taking the SAT in March!! So nervous lol. It’ll be my first full SAT test. The one in seventh grade didn’t really count…
