Anyone on here ever had a study? I might be stuck with one cause no classes are available 7th period that I haven’t already taken.
By a study do you mean like a study hall/study period? If so, I have had quite a few of them.
They’re pretty useful, especially if you have after school activities.
Also, @testtaking hello!
I’m basically bandwagoning. Which I thought I’d never do, but it’s kind of hard when everybody around you is self-studying at least one. I’m not the best at resisting (academic) peer pressure.
I already know the majority of the material for Macro and Gov, though (I like politics and economics a lot), and I’m basically taking AP Lang (except my school doesn’t offer the course), so I might as well take the tests.
I only took one AP test sophomore year even though most people I know took two, because one of them required a prerequisite that I wasn’t able to fulfill since I went to a private middle school (the prerequisite was a class only offered by the district).
The College Passport app looks interesting. I’m not sure if it’s actually good, but I’ll give it a try once I’m back from vacation.
@ambers58 i think study halls are great as long as you dont have a million. i used to have 3 free periods in my whole 6-day schedule and that was perfect for getting work done so that i could crash after afterschool activities. what sucks is when u have too many - i had 5 last semester bcuz nothing fit :-<
@ambers58 I always have one study hall, and they’re really nice. They’re particularly helpful when you’re very busy after school.
Ah well that’s good then. I supposed I’m going to look forward to my study (:
@ambers58 I took one freshmen year, and they’re are super nice! Unfortunately, for the rest of high school, I can’t fit it into my schedule 
I got a 5 on my Euro exam!
@photogeek8 Congrats!
is anyone else doing IB dp next year? and what’ve u guys been doing over summer??? 
@testtaking I’m doing IB next year! Are you excited??!
Well, I’ve been volunteering a lot but other than that, nothing else
Is anyone here part of HOSA? I’m founding a HOSA chapter at my school and I believe I will also be president. Can you guys give me input on things you like about being part of HOSA and things you didn’t like? I want to see what works and doesn’t work so that I could have a successful first year. Thanks!
@testtaking I’m also doing IB next year. I’m scared.

Nationals was a blast, didn’t get 1st though. 
@athenanv13 @dsi411 what courses are you guys doing??? im terrified as well :-S im doing hl physics, math and english and sl french, chem and psychology. i wanted to do sportssci but my school doesnt offer it 
@Frigidcold Thank you! I really appreciate it!
@testtaking I’m taking: IB European History HL (ahhhh, it’s supposed to be the hardest course at my school), IB English HL (I’m hoping it will really improve my writing), IB Physics SL (don’t offer HL Physics), IB Bio HL, IB French V, AP Calc BC, TOK, and I don’t know what my elective class will be. I’m really scared too, because this is supposed to be the toughest year and the first year where I’m taking on officer positions for three clubs and golf. Bye-bye sleep!
@testtaking I’m taking IB English HL, IB History of the Americas HL, AP Calc BC, AP Biology, IB Spanish SL (year 1), and IB Psychology SL. And TOK I guess, but that’s only second semester and not during school hours.
Anyone prepping for the PSAT?
@ambers58 I am. I’m using Khan Academy to prep and the new official SAT study guide from College Board. What are you using to prep?
