High School Class of 2017

@sprights I’m super nervous because I keep getting low scores on the CR. The funny thing is I do well on the CR on the SAT but suck at the CR on the ACT!

I’ve started a thread for the September ACT if anyone wants to discuss! http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-act-tests-test-preparation/1795657-official-september-2015-act-thread.html#latest

Do you mean English or Reading? I do very well on English, 34-36, and Reading is alright, 31-33, usually.

@athenanv13 I was planning to but my parents think I need more time to prepare. October test it is

I’m not ready for the September date tbh. I think I’m gonna do October or November.

What sports do y’all play? Any weightlifters?

@ambers58 My sport: sitting on my couch :). Hopefully, that will change this year because everyone at my school is super athletic (I might join golf because it should be easy to pick up).

I chose the September ACT because I wanted to space my standardized tests out. Sept would be perfect (even though I barely studied, so I need to start studying hard) because in Oct I’m taking 2 SAT II’s and the PSAT and in November I’m taking another SAT II and would like all of November to study for the SAT II for World History in December because I forgot everything.

I’m taking my SAT II for Physics in the spring. Still thinking whether it’s worth it to take Chemistry or to wait and take a different SAT II. I don’t know. October I’m taking PSAT only.

@athenanv13 Haha same except I lift, row, swim and run – sometimes. Edit: I play basketball too except I don’t.

Didn’t take the job : / It would go from 3-10 Monday, Friday, and Saturday. I have no time lol

I do sports! I’ve run winter and spring track for the past two years, and I will also be running cross country this fall.

Hey does anyone know what the date for the ACT is that the schools are offering to juniors free? My school has offered the ACT free for a few years now during the school day, but I’m not sure when it will be.

@MissSuzyQ That’s school specific. My school offers nothing for free. It sucks

I’m not committed to any sport (nor do I have any plans to join a sport) but I work out and run.

I’m on my school’s colorguard, which I guess sort of counts?

I soo wish I was in a sport!!!

I’m doing students run LA this year! It’s not an official school sport, but we run 5k, 10k, and 15k’s and then run the marathon! I’m really excited

I wanted to try out for badminton at my school, but I fell extremely sick during the week of tryouts. I guess that was a blessing and a curse, because while I didn’t have to spend two and a half hours (at least) a day after school practicing, I missed out on an opportunity to try out for my favorite school sport.

@MissSuzyQ Mine offers it on April 9th but they don’t offer the writing so I’m not taking it at my school. Also, I need a score to get into some summer programs so that’s why I’m taking it in September.

I honestly just want school to start already. Summer is getting old…

Me too. I haven’t finished my summer homework yet, though.
