High School Class of 2017

@sprights I know you can do it! I believe in you >:)

Does anyone get that feeling when your enjoying yourself that you should be working hard on something else? That is currently me for the December SAT… :frowning:

36 ON THE WRITING!!! GREAT JOB lol wish that was me @sprights

Currently trying to decide what is more important: getting into a good school or my sanity

Dying

Does anyone have any idea when PSAT scores are released either in school or online? I’m really anxious lol.

December ish

Christmas season according to everybody who manages retail apparently

Guysss anybody here get a 36 or something of teh sort on their ACT and wanna help me out??? >:D<

@wanderlustgal You can do it!!! I was totally caught by surprise because I never prepared for ACT essay (only SAT, i doubt that helped). If you have a good english score, you can totally get a good writing score. Now I need to work on the math since apparently I can do AP Calc and get an A and can’t do elementary algebra…something is up with that :confused:

@sprights same! I have an A in AP Calc but struggle with the geometry and elementary algebra…haha :-/

The thing I find strange about the ACT writing section is that you can use “I.” In my English class, it is forbidden to use “I”

Lol I dont even understand it, some of the word problems are more mind boggling than calc frq’s… @athenanv13

@sprights haha, I feel the exact same way :P…lol, word problems are the worst…

@athenanv13 @sprights I’m in the same boat. I’m sick of the ACT

oh are you guys retaking it? im taking it in february and was looking for a study buddy (:

I’m taking it in December…I was going to take it in October but there was a lot going on with the PSAT and extracurriculars so I pushed it back

I feel like my life has been taken over by SAT subject tests. Hopefully Latin will go fine this week and I’ll be done!

In the meantime, I’ve had a restful Thanksgiving with my family (including my sister, a college freshman!) and am anxious about getting all of my homework done tomorrow. Oops.

@wanderlustgal I have a 36 from the September test date. Feel free to ask me any questions.

@athenanv13 Thought the no “I” (or no personal pronouns in general) only applied to literary reponses.

Getting an A in Multivariable Calculus and I still slipped up on PSAT math, so I feel you guys, haha…

I’m taking the ACT in December, and I’m so nervous! I keep making silly mistakes, and what’s ridiculous is that on the past few practice tests I’ve taken, if you miss even one question on the science section, that section’s score drops from 36 to 35. I feel like I’m predestined to score below a 34 lol.

I took it in october and did pretty bad compared to my practice tests. The math killed my score and I didnt do as well as i usually did in reading. Science and english were good. Gonna hardcore study during the winter break and retake it in Feb for 32+. That is, unless my PSAT was good. If i got at least 1400 or 1350, i’m gonna study for the new SAT and sign up for the first two sittings… sigh. I hate standardized tests. @tigerman333

@Frigidcold Apart from you already being a genius, how did you study for the ACT? Did you just do practice tests or what?
