@imbep49 In 9th grade I got 120 on AMC 10 and 5 on AIME and in 10th grade I got 112.5 on AMC 12 and 8 on AIME
@047pusapatys oh ok I got 114 and 123 on the AMC 10a/b and 7 on AIME.
@tonystarkofwinterfell the fact that you even had one is impressive. We’ve never had one so I’m dual enrolling next semester to take college astronomy 
I really hate my school
@athenanv13 Yes! My cousins are outdoorsy people and ever since 9 I’ve been going on hikes and rock climbing (not indoor plastic…actual rocks! Lol)
BTW guys, what is AMC/AIME 8-|
School starts tomorrow for me. I am so so so so so so so nervous.
@sprights It’s like a national math competition.
ap awards are in!!! i got an ap scholars with distinction yayyy
I got AP Scholar with honor. Too bad the awards don’t really count for anything. But I understand why they don’t—because that would be unfair to people at schools that don’t offer many APs or where you are limited in the amount you can take.
Where do you get AP awards or how do check
@tigerman333 I got an email about mine, but they’re also there if you log into the AP Scores website.
I haven’t gotten an AP Scholar Award yet, since I’ve only taken two AP classes. I’ll probably earn one by the end of this year, though.
Also, what are you guys’ first impressions of your classes this year? What’s your favorite class? I didn’t like APUSH at first but it’s starting to get really interesting, I’d consider it to be my favorite class at the moment. I actually enjoy learning about modern U.S. history first, especially since there’s so many new things I’ve learned this past week about presidents like Reagan and Carter. Japanese is okay, most of what we are doing right now is reviewing what we have learned, but it should get better by the end of the term. Honors Pre-Calculus is okay, too. I like it better than Algebra 2 so far. I’d consider AP Chemistry to be my least favorite course so far, I feel like the class isn’t preparing me that much for the exam and I don’t really like the structure of our curriculum, and I’ve never been a fan of science to begin with.
My favorite class so far is French! I have a great teacher and I feel she will prepare me well for the exam. I also like AP Calc BC a lot also because of the teacher. I’m terrified for IB Euro because I’m scared that the teacher is awesome, but has a reputation that his tests are really hard (no one has ever gotten an A on any of his tests, and he’s been teaching for 11 years. He allows for test corrections but it doesn’t help much). IB English is okay I guess but we’ll see! I don’t know about IB Bio, but I’m really scared for my IB physics exam…so basically, on the first day of school, everyone was showing school spirit in the gym by doing cheers. We were jumping a lot and my physics teacher jumped and accidentally did the splits. He pulled his hamstring and now is out for a few months. He will still grade our papers, but a sub will be in for a few months. I’m going to be soooo underprepared for the exam!
Btw, does anyone read their comments before they press post comment? I’ve been reading through my past comments and I saw so many grammatical errors! I couldn’t believe it! It’s like every other sentence that I had an error. Even when I edit a comment to add more stuff, I never reread for typos or grammar errors as a result of fast typing.
@athenanv13 Back then I didn’t preview my comments, but I’ve gotten so many typos on the mobile app all the time that I’m used to checking for errors now. :))
School starts next week for me… still trying to cram in as much SAT/ACT prep as I can before I become too preoccupied with hw again. :’(
I’m freaking out because I get my schedule (and official confirmation that yes, I am a junior) tomorrow. Ahhh. This is scary. Also, I’m not sure what I’m going to get for one of my classes; although I’ve been hoping/predicting that it’ll be AP World History, I’m not sure what it’s actually going to be. I also really hope I get good and/or easy teachers for everything.
@coffeeaddicted I wanted to do that second semester sophomore year, but my parents didn’t let me because they thought it would be too much. This year, I won’t have time for it; I probably won’t have time for it next summer; and first semester senior year, I’ll be too busy with college apps.
@athenanv13 I’m very particular about spelling and grammar, so I naturally check them while I write. I don’t reread my comments before I post them, though.
@athenanv13 I almost always reread my comments before I post them and I usually change them a little. And then sometimes I reread my comments before posting and realize they’re not that interesting or relevant so I just don’t post them at all.
First day of school today. Ughh. Too much homework. As for classes I like, seems like Business Law will be fun. On the other hand, I’m terrified for AP Calc BC
First day of school as well… I, too, received a bunch of homework. Needless to say, I have much more homework that I would have like to have.
I don’t start school until next Thursday. At the moment, I’d just like school to start so I can get back into the routine.
UGH! I signed on for so many commitments! I’m so indecisive of what I what to be when I grow up! I signed up for UNESCO (for those interested in international relations, but I have to stay after school at 6 on Tuesdays :(), starting HOSA, VP of French National Honor Society, VP of Service for FCCLA (meet on Monday and Thursday)! I’m also training to do several 14ers! It’s so much! I know colleges won’t like it because it’s all over the place but I’m still trying to find my passions although I joined FCCLA because my friends begged me and happened to get leadership position last year. Next semester on Tuesdays, I have to take TOK for IB as a night class because I can’t fit it into my schedule! I don’t know how I’m going to get my homework done on Tuesday with my night class and UNESCO!
