5,000th POST! <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P We’re on a roll!!!
@DaEmmJay23 SAME here lmao. Nice knowing you guys
Oh yeah, SAT subject tests =; Not sure which ones I’ll take, but Chemistry, Math 2, and Japanese seem like viable options
@ak2018 Yea.
I’ve done engineering classes but the only robotics class I’ve taking is was a summer camp. I might take one senior year.
I know for sure I’ll be taking the SAT subject tests for Math 2 and Biology. I need to pick a third. Maybe German if I start dedicating more time to learning it or Physics even though I’m not all that great at it. I’m not too worried right now as I won’t be applying to colleges for another year or so.
I was going to do work, but then the new Radiohead album came out and now I’m in a catatonic album-listening state.
Does SAT Math 2 coincide with precalc?
Yes @droporain
Here’s a link to a list of SAT test dates for the next three years: https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/register/dates-deadlines
Just to put it out there. If you qualify for free/reduced lunch, then you can get a fee waiver. The SAT and SAT2 are both free to students who use a waiver. Fee waivers for the SAT are available for 11th and 12th graders and fee waivers for SAT2 subject tests are available 9-12th grade. Anyone who uses a waiver can send scores to 4 colleges for free.

@ihavenoideawow with regards to how difficult it is to self study bio m, depends how much of it you’ve learned in your bio class. I took bio honors and had learned about half the material in my biology class, so it was kind of hard to self-study but i took bio m yesterday and feel fairly good about it. honestly the subject test is really just random bio facts with some applications of random bio facts, so it isn’t easy to study for per se, since it’s more of a “you either know it or you don’t” type situation.
I’m a terrible formatter. Wait, let’s see if I can fix this. #-o

So I have been away from this thread for about a day and a half , but now that I’m back, I am here for SNHC! I was at the Penn State Graduation today, and was visiting family yesterday, so the weekend was crazy!
Also, I am going to start emailing professors to see if I can assist them or learn from them during the Summer.
