Is anybody here in Dynamic Planet? lol science olympiad is so stressful and the worst part is that my team rarely ever makes it to state
@neoking don’t base your decision off of profit… and I’d say only do compsci if it won’t affect your other scores (it sounds like it wouldn’t because you’re already proficient.)
Is anyone else applying for the Questbridge college prep scholar program?
Anyone here considering applying to the university of pennsylvania!!?? @ me if you are. i think i am!!
@eyrar99 I was thinking about it. Does applying for the college prep scholar program improve your chances of success with the national college match program? A friend of mine who’s a senior got a free ride to Stanford with the national college match.
@glassflowers I’m in DP! Our regional event absolutely sucked. All about sediments and crap we didn’t study. It’s the event I’m in that I know least about tbh
@neoking I can’t get over how you get PAID to take AP tests! Each test at my school is $125.
@neoking I’m not sure. Does anyone know?
Is anyone else taking the SAT tomorrow?
So nervous 
Hah! It’s funny to think that people are taking the tests that I make for Science Olympiad because instead of being a competitor, I am a judge.
- Does anyone know of a well written and interesting science blog(s)?
- A good source/ guide to help me start a blog?
@sirsly good luck! 
I’m sure you’ll do fabulously-- just don’t stress!
i can’t believe there are only 2 weeks left till our region’s competition…
it really sneaked up on me (at least, because the past few months i was consumed with sat studying…) and now i’m SUPER stressed out. sigh.
@desideratum speaking of studying for standardized tests, what’s your strategy? Just lots of practice tests? A question a day?
I’ll be taking the ACT-- anyone else?
Also what are all of your #1 schools right now? I would love to go to Carleton.
@eyrar99 HAHAHA. For the SAT, I’d studied for the past three months - I took a two week break after the PSAT was done and BOOM SAT time. But I started off slowly/low impact - I schooled myself on the basics, usually 30 minutes to an hour per day (I concentrated on writing/English first because those are my strong points, and I realized I would need less time to review them/they would stay fresher in my memory for longer periods of time). The next month, I would continue to spend that same amount of time on concepts, but would also begin taking practice tests every few weeks or so just to tailor my study habits a bit more. The month of the exam, I took a practice test every week, and did LOTS of practice problems, haha. But two or three days before the exam, I relaxed/didn’t study because - just from personal experience - studying too much right before the test makes me more panicky/stressed/prone to forget important things and details, so I just try to chill.
I was going to take the ACT, but I don’t think I will anymore, just because my SAT score was decent enough not to do so. I’ll take subject tests though.
1 - It's definitely a tie between UW and Stanford.
@eyrar99 I am also applying to the Questbridge college prep scholar thing, I believe that it does help in the College Match program because it is an award that will strengthen your QB application and also great for apps to non-QB colleges.
My #1 choice is either UPenn or Columbia. Doubt I can even get into either though haha.
@allima I may but it depends on my ACT scores
My number #1 choice is either UPenn or UC Berkeley. I want to be a business major but I’m more realistically gonna end up at UIUC or something
Hi everyone! I’m class of 2017 so I figured why not join this thread
I’ve been so busy with things that I haven’t been able to study for the new SAT at all. I’ll try to finish at least one practice test this weekend, but I have so many assignments to do for APUSH and I have to practice for a math competition next week.
