High School Class of 2017

@letmeseetheworld I wish I knew. Maybe Multivariable Calc would make sense to me then…

I feel like it’s cause probability is some abstract, intangible concept that lies in pure theory whereas you can actually graph a line with paper and there are formulas that make the concepts more concrete.

So apparently my school is going to assign lockers…

cool

Ugg, probability. I agree with you all, probability sucks. It hurts my head.

What class are you guys most excited for next year? I’m most excited for IB English HL.

I’m stoked for AP Art History–the class is usually taken by sophomores, as it pairs well with AP World, and the average AP World student can get a mid A in the class. Since I’m going to be a junior and got one of the higher averages in world this school year, I’m aiming for a straight 100.

Multivariable Calc, because it’s self study and you get to sit in the special room. :stuck_out_tongue:

Five days into summer vacation and I’m already bored. Does anyone else want junior year to just start already?

No, no I don’t.

And I’m excited for a) my elective class (whatever it ends up being), because I really like it, and b) AP Chem (really all of my courses). But then, I’m going to die, so I don’t know if that’s the wisest choice…

Nah, want junior year to come as slowly as possible. This summer’s going to be great. :smiley:

I guess I’m excited for AP Biology and IB SL Psychology. AP Biology is supposed to be the hardest class at my school and few people get As. I’m also excited to learn more Spanish in IB SL Spanish! And to learn more Math in AP Calc BC. I’m kinda afraid of IB English because there’s a lot of graded discussions in that class. And I’m not particularly excited about HL History of the Americas. It’s US History, which isn’t as exciting as World History.

People saying they like classes, what is this?

I am in pretty urgent need of advice. So I’m signed up to take the SAT this Saturday, but I feel sooo unprepared (only had time for a week of prep), and I’m seriously considering just not taking it. Part of me thinks I should take it just to know what it’s really like, but if I do badly and apply to schools that require me to send in all of my scores, there’s that little bit of me that thinks that this score could be hurtful. What do you guys think?

@petitlion Well, practice tests are there for a reason, to let you know what it’s really like. But I guess you paid for it, so you could just take it and cancel the score afterwards if you feel you did badly.

Yeah I’ve taken 3 practice tests, so that’s a good point, but I think the pressure changes things for me. Oh well, thanks :slight_smile:

What tests are you planning on taking on Saturday? I’m planning on doing Math Level 2 and Chemistry. I always get the tiny nuances wrong, and my latest Barron’s Practice test score was a 730 (slightly lower than normal). Should I be worried?

I’m doing Math 2 and Chemistry as well; I tend to make lots of silly mistakes on Chem, though, so I’m kind of freaking out.

Taking Math 2, took chem in May if you have any questions.

@Cornbread1999 A 730 should be fine for math, Probably okay for chem as well, but the Barron’s Chem curve is ridiculous.

I’m also doing Math 2 and Chemistry! I haven’t finished my prep book for Math and I haven’t done any practice tests yet. I haven’t prepared at all for Chemistry, just hoping I’ll remember all my AP Chem knowledge on the day of the test.

@dsi411 Good luck :stuck_out_tongue:
