High School Class of 2017

I’m so sick of the ACT science section! UGH. I consistently score in the 20s for that section, while for the others, I am getting 32s/33s/34s.

@photogeek8 I agree. When it comes to biology, ecology just isn’t my thing

@Cornbread1999 I am!

I like ecology; it was one of my favorite parts of biology. But I prefer other earth-sciency things.

@Cornbread1999 I am! Alternative energy sources and renewable energy was my favorite APES section!

I hate the PSAT math. So much geometry. I hate geometry. The act math section is like 30% geometry but it’s easy, angles and planes. ACT science is okay, if they gave us more time it would be one of my 32-34 sections. Right now, mine is hovering at 30/31. :frowning:

I actually like ecology. Science is probably my least favorite subject but I really enjoy astronomy and the ecology branch of biology.

@Greninja I’m the exact opposite. Science is probably my most favorite subject (next to math), but I hate astronomy and ecology.

@ambers58 That is so strange, math and science are my least favorite subjects. English and history are my favorite. :))

@Greninja Math and science are my favorite subjects. I like history to an extent. English and Spanish is are my least favorite.

@Cornbread1999 I am! I love researching that stuff

It’s funny! My favorite subjects are science and history. I love French because of the teacher (but I probably wouldn’t like it without that teacher). English and Math are my least favorite.

My favorite subject is history. I have a love-hate relationship with math and English. My least favorite is science.

I lovelovelove science, especially astronomy and modern physics and geology and chemistry. I also like math, and English (although not necessarily school English–I just like writing), and history, and politics.

…I don’t know what I don’t like. I even liked Spanish, to some extent.

Hey guys, I was on youtube and stumbled upon a really well-done short film on youtube called " ‘ACCEPTANCE’ - Ivy League Admissions Movie"
It’s about 50 minutes long, and I highly suggest it. Oh, and it’s based on a true story.

@Spiral7 I agree wholeheartedly. I watched the movie about a month ago. It was amazing. Acting was genuine and the music was outstanding. Frankly it reflects the minds of many competitive students very accurately.

Hey does anyone know if Finite Mathematics is a requirement for any upper level math classes? And what exactly is taught in it? I was looking at what I wanted to take senior year for math (after BC Calc) and apparently there is a Finite Mathematics course that is required before taking Linear Algebra.

^ I don’t know, at our school it used to be that you could take Finite one semester and Discrete another after Alg II as long as you’ve taken statistics, while the post-AP math was MVC one semester and Linear the other. Now it’s changed to C++/Discrete, which you have to at least be concurrently enrolled in Calculus for.

I just decided that I want to double major in Computer Science (or Symbolic Systems, but that’s only offered at one college that I probably won’t get into and… yeah) and Science, Technology, and Society (focus in public policy or environment) in college.

…that’s probably going to change soon.

I’m taking Linear Algebra and Multi directly after BC Calc from last year. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of finite mathematics. So at least for my school, it is not a requirement before Linear Alg.

My school doesnt offer anything past BC Calc, so I was going to take them at a college. Their sequence goes Finite, LinAlg, MVC, DiffEq.

Since my school has IB, we take IB HL Math after Calc BC.

Guys please help me
