@dsi411 I’m in the same boat. My parents are convinced that I will go to a school within driving distance and I’m going to commute and live with them at home. I can do that with like WPI and (hahah if I got in) MIT (but the driving distance is atrocious. Or BU but that’s over an hour drive. They are really against me going to places that I want to go to, like JHU or OSU or Carnegie or Stanford. I don’t know. I’m trying to convince them. Mom is starting to budge.
I think I’m going to retake Math 2 next year because I did so badly on it, probably in the 600s. Chemistry I’m not sure about but I left at least 10 blank so I probably didn’t do to well there either.
Same @Cornbread1999. I’m freaked about Chem… The test was way harder than any of the practice tests I took, including Barron’s.
My parents would prefer I stay close to home, but then, I’m not really going to apply to many out-of-state colleges (except for reaches, aka Brown and Vandy and stuff) because there’s no point; we have the UCs here, so it’s not a big deal.
I took world history and I feel like I did well on it so hopefully an 800 or 770+ come thursday. I am going to be taking chemistry and math 2 next year. I was going to take to the chemistry sat2 but I had a horrible teacher (we ended up getting a new one but it was too late) so I had to postpone that for next year.
Hello I’ve just joined CC, and I thought I would post my junior year schedule:
AP Calc AB
AP Chem
AP Lang
AP Seminar
Honors Physics
Spanish 4 Honors
Double Gym (so I have more room on schedule senior year)
Doe’s anyone else’s school offer the AP Capstone program? (a.k.a AP seminar) I’m skeptical about taking the course as it is fairly new
I missed at least 3 on math 2 because I wasn’t familiar with my calculator and kept forgetting to and forgetting how to switch from radians to degrees and that wasted me so much time.
The Math II test was rough! I took it and right before the test starts, my graphing calculator decides to malfunction and blink on me then die. Not a dead battery. A dead calculator. I had to use a scientific calculator on the whole test, making the test 50 times more difficult. Right after the test, my parents took me to buy a brand new calculator (that costs a $160 dollars… yeah)
I know I skipped one question. The test itself wasn’t hard. I was able to do practically everything (had to derive a few formulas, mind you). Super nervous about the score though.
meh I got a 2070 on the SAT
630 CR- ouch I thought I did waaay better- guess the 9/10 sections thing really hurt me
690 M
750 W
oh well I only did like one practice test to prep so it was a decent first try. I guess I’m really gonna have to prep this summer.
Just as I expected, I didn’t do too well.
730 Chem
680 Math II
I’m going to retake Math II, but I don’t know about Chem. I mean, I guess a 730 is good but it doesn’t really reflect my chemistry abilities. I had an A+ in AP Chemistry both semesters and I’m probably going to get a 5 on the AP Chem exam, and yet I couldn’t even get a 750+ on this. Maybe I’ll do Biology next year to make up for it.
@dsi411 Your AP grade and your performance on the AP exam reflect the abilities. I wouldn’t stress about it cause 730 is a good score in and of itself.
