Testing definitely is way overpriced. Some people cannot take the AP exams because of this, which is really just a waste of a year. I don’t know how my district pays for them, but I think it is because not that many people take AP classes.
It is weird to think that we all are basically sophomores now. I remember visiting this thread over a year ago, planning on my freshman year to be the best year ever. It was the best year, but I was too hyped lol.
Guys let’s post things we didn’t think would happen a year ago
I competed in math competitions
Math was my favorite subject
Science bowl
GSA
Gay
Employment
German 3
NGE gold award
I really surprised myself, apparently.
Make it through another year of math
I just read through our whole thread. Wow, we have been through and talked about a lot of things lol.
I didn’t think that I would get good at English.
I didn’t think that I would get taller lol idk
I would not have thought I’d be friends with a lot of people that I am now-- I’m happy I am though
A lot of my teachers surprised me, too
Getting involved with some new clubs was fun
How were your exams?
I didn’t think I would make it through Spanish, and I was really stressed about Precalc, but I somehow got through them.
@IrrationalPepsi, same. I didn’t think I would get any talle, and that I was going to be 5’2" for the rest of my life, but I grew half an inch (yay!)
95s across the board here 
I was so relieved haha
I was very worried about English, but it was my second highest score!
On the other hand, I was very confident about biology…
…and it was my lowest score. I still made a 96, but man the universe crapped on me.
I got a 90 on my German exam for probably the third time in a row.
Biology I didn’t do as well on the final as I did on the midterm, English I unexpectedly got a pretty high score (my grade was on the brink of being a B+, so I was relieved, but I guess my teacher was grading easily), Precalc was ok, and World Geography was pretty good.
I’m sorry for you, @literallyliteral. Your school ends really late. It must start later in August as well, tho, right?
@Mathophile26, that’s pretty great.
@awesomepolyglot, the universe crapped on you tho. The 90 curse.
@literallyliteral, I’ll cry for you :))
I couldn’t imagine still being in school, albeit I want to go back already.
@IrrationalPepsi I love how you say you’ll cry for literallyliteral, and the emoji is laughing 
It’s the sentiment that counts
My school is in a very rich suburban area, so there is a lot of extra things we get and option we have such as.
-All Standardized Testing costs are covered by the school
-In high school we are given MacBook Laptops to use and take home
-We have the option to attend University (in-state) full-time or part-time for our junior and senior year for free (all cost of tuition and books are covered.) (Admission is very difficult)
Wow, @TheBlizzard, that’s awesome!
I scored the highest for my history exam-- that was pretty cool 
@northeastgirl24, great job!
@Mathophile26 @IrrationalPepsi - Thanks :(( And yeah, school doesn’t start until early September for me (September 8 I think).
