High School Class of 2017

@Frigidcold thanks, I’ll check it out!

@bfc2017 by an odd series of coincidences, I ended up doing an overnight a few months ago, and it was pretty helpful. Most schools only let seniors overnight-- there’s typically no need to try to fit it in junior year.

Thanks for the advice! @pseudoprimal

@Boltingflame Yeah, that science section was pretty unforgiving. I had 10 minutes left and was almost done with Passage III when I thought I only had one more to do. Then I accidentally turned two pages and saw Passage V. I proceeded to give up and bubble everything in at random. No ragrets.

@Frigidcold Yes! At my school, someone got matched to Princeton via Questbridge and someone else got into Duke ED. And someone got deferred from Penn. :frowning:

I feel y’all on that science section … I left the conferring passages one til the end and had to make some really quick decisions so I’m sure I missed a few from that one.

Hopefully there will be a generous curve!

How did the reading go for you guys?

I can’t stop thinking about the ACT. I prepared so hard and finally got my science score to where I wanted it (I finally got a 36 on a practice test). Yet, I let this one fight with my mom bother me…I couldn’t focus…I couldn’t clear my mind…now all that studying has gone to waste…I can’t believe I bubbled in B for all my answers. I don’t know how I could suddenly lose my motivation do the test…
On the bright side, I don’t have to study as hard for the next ACT

Canceled my score…it has been such a bad weekend

If you need somebody to talk to, @athenanv13 i’m here. (:

@athenanv13 I’m so sorry to hear that your weekend was so poor :frowning: it stinks when emotions kick our carefully-laid plans out of whack, isn’t it? Also, having standardized tests looming over one’s head is maybe not the most fun thing in the world. But, the weekend is over. The score is cancelled. You’re prepared to take the ACT next time, and you’re going to rock – and congrats on the 36 on your practice exam! You’ve worked hard for this, and this bump in the road isn’t going to matter in a few months. You have my respect for your strength throughout this beast we know as junior year.

@Earthlingo @pseudoprimal Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean a lot to me.

Guys, we are slackers compared to the class of 2016. They were on page 447 back in February of their sophomore years!

@foliontai A better way to think of it is that we are more productive then they are. We’re too busy getting stuff done that we don’t have enough time for this thread.

I wish I was productive; at this point in the semester, I’m on autopilot. finals are this week, and I’m literally so out of it.

@athenanv13 Dude, don’t think about that anymore. What happened isn’t anywhere near the end; you’re going to kill that next ACT!

February ACT anyone? :smiley:

@Studious99 Me! That is actually the first time I’m taking it, because I’ve been too lazy to start prepping for tests yet. Hopefully, I don’t end up regretting this decision next year…

@Studious99 Me. I’ve been pushing this back since October so it’s now or never

@Studious99 I’ll be taking it for the first time then!

Oops. I’m completely unprepared for my exam tomorrow. I should probably get on that.

Same! February ACT! And ugh, guys the ACT i love so much more than the SAT but at the same time science why you gotta be that problem child
