High School Class of 2017

@Greninja @vintagejai same lmao i really love bey and your avi :wink:

Is anyone taking the Jan SAT??

Is anyone applying for summer programs? This break is basically my time to complete all the essays and applications.

@neoking I applied for one, but the deadline was wayy back in late October. It took me forever to complete the essays because I procrastinated so much

@neoking I’m applying to MITES, I haven’t started my essays yet so I guess I should do that!

@neoking I am!! I’m applying to Simons, Clark, SSP, and an in-state one. I might apply to HSHSP and RSI if I did well enough on my standardized tests (waiting on results) and have the time. I also have my lab research as a back-up.

Time to not think about the SAT and just relax.

Do you think there is anyway I could get into Simons without any research experience?

@Cece0499 I am. I’m devoting a lot of my time during this break to studying for it.

@neoking Same…

@coffeeaddicted Pretty sure you have to get 150% of the questions right on standardized tests to make it into RSI, haha.

@athenanv13 Any chance is better than no chance.

So I just signed up for the Feb. ACT. Now that I think about it, I’m screwed.

The January SAT is going to be so crowded at my school… I know so many juniors who are taking it. It’s actually going to be pretty surreal when SAT vocab is no longer a thing and no-calculator sections are a thing.

So is anyone taking the January SAT? I’m currently scoring between 2100-2200 but want 2300+… Honestly, I have no idea how to cram during break-Any suggestions or advice? :c

Guys both SAT and ACT scores are coming out tonight! So weird!

I just freaked my whole IB class out. Haha.

So we have this group thread, and I just told them we have this 30 page history reading (it’s out of a textbook so it takes a few hours) and a super long packet. Because I’m a good student, they never think I could play a joke on them when it comes to school. I’m always the person they ask if we had homework due the next day. I wonder when I should tell them I’m joking

It’s so funny to read their responses! =)) =)) =)) =))

@ambitiousgeek READ NOTHING. Don’t read the passages. Just skim and scan the hell out of them. Don’t go down the row of questions. Skip around. A lot. Start with the line questions (“In line X…”). Then you do the vocab-related questions. Then you go ahead and do the comprehension-related questions. As for the math, the answer is almost likely C. Try out C first. If C is too high, then it’s either A or B; too low, it’s D or E.

And skip the directions. Don’t read the directions. You’re wasting your time.

@ambitiousgeek I’m taking the January SAT. I’m trying to score above a 1900 on it.

800 on the Latin subject test! I am done with the SAT and SAT subject tests forever! (gosh I hope nothing weird comes up lol)

When you get a 1990 on your SAT…10 points…10 points… cb why??¿¿ :((
