awk…my Infinite Campus doesn’t have “assessments”
Now that AP exams are over, I get to focus all my effort on the Math Level 2 Subject Test and finals…so excited!
Ahhh Math 2 doesn’t seem very hard, since it’s just basic precalc (although the time constraint is kind of annoying), but I’m also taking Chem and it’s so hard D: I’m assuming it’s partly because I’m using Barron’s for practice tests, but I can never seem to score above 750 (and the lab questions are really hard, especially since we haven’t done any useful labs in chemistry this year).
I think I’m going to take physics and math sat 2 when I finish my junior year because I am only finishing algebra 2. What math are you guys currently in? I don’t think it would be a good idea for me to take the math 2 test with only algebra 2 in my head.
i’m in ap calculus. you should definitely wait…
Will it really hurt my college application if I don’t do more thn 2 subject tests? My family cannot afford it and I can only get a full financial aid for two SATIIs. I also cannot afford to re take any of my tests because my school is only willing to pay for one act and one sat. How much my that hurt my chances of getting a high enough test score to apply at jhu or Berkeley?
@sprights Wait until after pre-calc. I’m in this class where it’s pre-calc first semester and AP Calc AB the second.
@athenanv13 No, if the university doesn’t require more than two you don’t need them. In fact, if you take too many I read that it can be a negative because it seems like you are too obsessed with test scores. I’m taking Math 2 and Chemistry because math and a science fulfills the requirements for a lot of schools, and World History just in case.
@dsi411 thank you. I don’t want to have a disadvantage because I couldn’t afford something. Actually, I’m at a huge disadvantage, I can’t afford to be in any extracurriculars besides volunteering because there is only so much financial aid a school can give. Hopefully they will look at my jobs and volunteer hours!
@athenanv13 Most universities don’t require more than two for that reason, and they also usually state that if your family could not afford the SAT IIs, it’s okay. Take Math 2 as one of your SAT IIs, though, since it can often be a requirement for admission and stuff; depending on what you want to major in, take either a science (chem is usually the best, since it can go for both admissions to engineering schools and other sciences) or a humanities (these are generally harder, though) SAT II.
it seems like everything we do is scrutinized by colleges
too many tests…obsessed with test scores
too little tests…not obsessed enough
low ap scores…not hard working enough
all ap scores 5’s…the person had no life
too many sports…not focused enough
too little sports…not well rounded enough
too many clubs…too much commitment
too little clubs…not well rounded enough
too many AP’s…had no life
too little AP’s…needed a life
gets 2400…college doesn’t want you because you’re too cliche
gets 2300…college doesn’t want you because it’s not a 2400
gets valedictorian…college doesn’t accept you because it’s too common
gets ranked 20…college doesn’t want you because you weren’t valedictorian
Feel free to add to it honestly. The list goes on. College is funny & so is life.
This should start a nice debate 
Ah, I have to do a speech on Wednesday, and if I don’t pass it, I’m required to do a speech proficiency class next year, which will take up a spot where I could have taken an AP class instead. I haven’t memorized my speech yet, though. I’ll try to memorize it tonight and work on a note card for the speech tomorrow.
@dsi411 I don’t know when I’m taking my subject tests because I just heard about them recently. Do you suggest I take them as soon as possible, or wait until October? I’m planning on taking World History, Literature, and possible one of the Mathematics courses. Would it hurt not taking the test until October?
I was looking into online classes recently, and I found so many interesting ones on EdX… I know what I’m doing in the bus this summer (seeing as I have, like, three hours of free time on the bus every day).
lol, how many subject tests is too many?
I did Bio, and I’m doing math 2 and Chem in june
Yay I got into the summer program I applied to! I’m not sure how competitive it is cause it seemed kinda small on the website, but there are only 18 of us and we’re all on full scholarship. It’s like the perfect program for me- online 4 credit computer science college course (Towson University) and did I mention it’s FREE and ONLINE!!!
Also I think I’m taking Math II and Chem and possibly History next spring. Do any of you guys know if they’re changing the subject tests like the regular SAT??
Ey @Cornbread1999 same. Idk I might end up with 4? I’m thinking about self-studying Spanish since I’m not taking Spanish 4+…
And congratulations @iamnotironman! I’m sure it’ll be great.
I just found out the bus I’m taking to my summer program probably has free wifi, so I can use an old tablet to take online courses 
@dsi411 I’m doing something like that next year! First semester precal, second semester ap calc A.
@cocolover123 I completely agree! Nothing is ever enough…
I have an interview for leadership today, wish me luck!
@iamnotironman I don’t believe the College Board is changing the SAT IIs. As far as I know they are keeping the same ones and aren’t adding any.
In all my AP classes (Chem, World History, and English Language) we have to do a project. Couldn’t we just watch movies or something? And they’re my least favorite type of project–the kind you have to present in front of the class. In all of them you can either do it with a partner or by yourself, but since I have no friends I have to do them all by myself. Wonderful.
Ahh we have projects in English, Chem, Precalc, and Spanish… For Spanish, we have to make a full five-course meal for the class. From a specific country (our group is Argentina). And there happens to be very little easy Spanish vegetarian food (two members of our group, including me, are vegetarian)…
