@eyrar99 It was eh. Hopefully better than my last score, though I did have to make about 3 (educated) guesses on Science. I’m curious, did you get a prompt about online classes?
@tigerman333 haha I did get the online class prompt. It was actually really nice because I’m taking an online class right now and could write about that.
I had to guess on the science a little, too, and I was really rushing by the end of the reading section. Bleh.
UPDATE
My AP Government teacher just sent out an email reminding us that we have–
wait for it–
ONLY SIXTEEN CLASSES LEFT BEFORE AP DAY.
No no no no no no no…
@GrandBudapest Thanks aha!
@eyrar99 Yep, basically a club for community service to help find others opportunities for it as well. Fundraising for charities such as UNICEF is also a major thing!
UGHHH does anyone else feel like there’s so many things on their plate?
Ah man - there’s this one person running against me for Secretary in KC & I know they’d be such a better candidate than I am, simply because - they’re a lot more popular and they have gone to more service events & DCMs, whereas I…haven’t. I mean, I know it’s not the end of the world if I lose, but…
@desideratum ugh it’s the worst when an election turns into a popularity contest. 
I’m rooting for you!
@SugarSmarts AUBGUBSUO agh no AP tests are wayyyy too soon!
Yeah really AP tests come up wayyyyy too fast. We just had a mock AP exam in calc BC and I know I got a 4, which sucks because last year in AB I got a 5 at this time of year (and I need a 5 in BC). Thankfully I’ll be able to study a lot over spring break (after science Olympiad states…). I’m also visiting some colleges. This break cannot come fast enough!
@SugarSmarts OMG I didn’t realize they were that soon. It sounds so much better when you say less than 2 months.
@coffeeaddicted Cool, a fellow scioly member!! What events are you doing this year? Our states meet is in a month I think…and what colleges are you visiting? I’m going to try and do Carleton, Macalaster, and U of Chicago.
Also I want to give a s/o to everyone on this thread! you guys are all doing so well and will definitely go places. tbh high school can’t possibly get any more stressful than this–so things can only get better from here! 
@SugarSmarts I visited Carleton & Mac in February!! I adored Carleton, but Mac just didn’t feel quite right for me (I don’t know what it was, but I didn’t click…). I want to visit UChicago…
Let me know what you think about all 3!
@SugarSmarts I’m in astronomy, dynamic planet, and game on. I’m super stressed since our competition is in 4 days! What events are you doing? And I’m visiting Swarthmore, Haverford, and Princeton.
@coffeeaddicted @SugarSmarts which states? I’m going to TN as an alternate lol
omg, a lot of people here seem to do scioly! Anyone have tips for running a club (esp. something like scioly or science bowl)?
@eyrar99 Carleton is my #1 choice right now! My dad really wants me to look at Macalaster, though, so I guess that’s on the agenda. I’m so glad you like Carleton–I hope I will too, when I visit! From what I heard, they have a very accepting and passionate community, which is something that I think a lot of us would want to be a part of! I’ll keep you updated on UoC 
@CoffeeAddict9716 Haha, I am so underprepared…the only thing I’ve actually spent a lot of time on is protein modeling. But besides that, I’m in invasive species, forensics, wright it do it, and code busters. I actually didn’t do dynamic planet this year–what is this year’s topic?
@Faultystart Are you thinking about starting one?? That’s awesome! Hmm…I guess my advice would be to have an encouraging and motivated environment, especially if it has something to do with science competitions. Deadlines and test days worked for me. Otherwise, just try to get a lot of interest and have fun with it
@Faultystart for science bowl (or any variation thereof), read lots and lots of textbooks. And become super buzzer-happy.
@SugarSmarts I’ll be running for scioly club head next year, and my school will be starting a Science Bowl team (we just had one this year, but we hardly prepared!)
@tonystarkofwinterfell alright, thanks for the tips!
OMG you guys are making me remember by astro olympiad 2nd round test this thursday. I’m sooooo scared for it cause the first test was really hard! Too many things to study, not enough time. At least it’s an amazing subject
@SugarSmarts I did Invasive for the state competition and the formatting was not what I expected. There were stations and you had to identify certain animals/insects etc but some questions were pretty obscure. A group even had a 4 inch thick binder of notes printed from wikipedia!! Good luck though; my partner and I crammed the day before haha
@coffeeaddicted You could probably get to a 5 on BC with over a month to prepare still left. I heard the curve is pretty large also.
I may visit UChicago sometime soon because it’s about an 1 hr drive from my house. I may visit OSU as I am going to Columbus over break. It looks like a good safety school.
@ambitiousgeek OMG. INVASIVE SPECIES AHHAHAA. Me and my partner were cramming the day before, trying to get in fact sheets we initially put a lot of effort into researching (but eventually just ended up copying + pasting the info) finished…we didn’t even finish HAHA. I almost didn’t get to impound because my printer wasn’t printing the fact sheets!
What’s the difference between Science Olympiad & a science bowl team? Is it possible to attract attention for both or to compete individually/not in a team for the latter? Starting a science bowl team sounds fun, if not a TON of work. I wish our SciOly team made it to state this year…but granted, it is our first year and the majority of us didn’t study as much as we should’ve (including yours truly) :’).
@SugarSmarts Good luck with Protein Modeling! It really is an amazing event (And I hope you do well in all your other events too - good luck to everyone else participating in a scibowl/scioly competition soon! I’m sure you’ll all do fantastic!)
