Do it on Saturday or Sunday…this break is for us.
How is everybody prepping for the new act writing test? I’ve been putting it off…and my act date is getting closer…On the act website, there is only one sample prompt so I don’t know how to get more practice for it
@athenanv13 I use a weird format but this is how it goes:

Body #1: Analyze perspective 1
Body #2: Analyze perspective 2
Body #3: Analyze perspective 3
Body #4: My own perspective and thoughts
Conclusion
Who’s doing the SAT next week?
Seriously stressing out rn…
My teachers thought it would be a fantastic idea to give us five million pages of homework over break, and I was planning on studying for the December SAT all week
Anyone else in this situation?? I did all my anatomy and AP lang yesterday, but I’m really bad at procrastinating and hate math, so I’m literally staring at my precalc book trying to motivate myself to do it. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
@BethanyD Me (hahahahahahahah I haven’t studied imma die…)
@unwound Personally I wouldn’t, especially as a fan of history myself.
This weekend is going to be extremely stressful. I spent the whole break studying for USAD so I didn’t have time to do homework for English, AP Lang, and AP Chemistry. I’m really worried about my AP Chemistry grade because it’s an 88.7% (I have this irrational obsession with maintaining straight A’s) right now and I don’t think I’ll be able to bring it up because I always get low B’s on the tests. I still might be able to get straight A’s though if I get at least a 3 on the exam, though.
I don’t know why but I can’t wait to start school again. For some reason during this time I always get a bit depressed, especially during break. I’m not sure if it’s because I usually tend to do less work during this time, so I get disappointed in myself and I feel as though I’m not doing enough things.
I should be studying for my finals because I have a borderline A in all my classes except math…but I also need to prioritize the ACT…I’m praying that my finals are easy…
I’m not sure which I hate more, weekdays or weekends, because I still end up with a lot of work and little time for myself, no matter which time of the week.
At least you get sleep on the weekends though, right?
@BethanyD meeee:)
@SugarSmarts I would not do the HW and leave it for the last moment xD the SAT is more important! (in my opinion)
I’m very stressed too! I have a lot to do besides the SAT >:(
Hey guys I haven’t been on here for a long time but I just got my act writing score!!! I got a 36 which is TOTALLY insane because the rest of the test was meh. I’m not very qualified to give advice, but i will anyway haha. I wrote a LOT. Like 5 pages worth. I also used tons of big words and figurative language. I also didn’t give direct examples, but related the scenarios to me personally, which might’ve been a plus. Not sure. But anyway…QUANTITY OVER QUALITY. For ACT writing only of course.
WOW congrats that’s amazing! I never did the ACT but I heard about how difficult it is to score well on the writing section, even for people who get 36’s on the other sections.
Thank you! I know!! My ap English teacher hates me and won’t give me an A but maybe this will throw her in the right direction…
@sprights she won’t give you an A?? What?? Hopefully you get that a lol. Does your teacher give out extra cred?
Honestly it is so insane. I put my heart into my work and she is just such a tough grader (the average essay grade for our in-class is a 3-4, I get 5-7 but those are still bad on her point scale). We only have 1 (maybe 2) A’s that I know of. I knew going into the class that she was tough, but I was the best writer in my English 10 class so I didn’t see any reason for me not to take ap English. She does give EC–which I have done–but I think it’s 1-2 points, barely a dent in anything. Sigh. Shouldn’t have taken the class lol. @Cece0499
@Greninja hey how do you have that grade in AP Chem? Are the test extremely hard ? Is your teacher hard? Btw what are you guys going over right now? Right now were going over Stoichiometry and titration redox reactions etc.
@sprights awww I really despise teachers that do that. Honestly, if she doesn’t give you an A in her class then maybe you should talk to her personally and let her know your really serious about your grade. I have never really come across a teacher like that, so I don’t know if I’m really helping haha. But yeah, use all the pathos you can lol.
@Cece0499 no thank you:) I definitely will. It’s so frustrating because it’s junior year and she knows it and makes it hard on purpose
