  • [AP] Comp Sci (I’ll see if I can handle AP)
  • Hopefully Calc III at a community college

Yeah, I know a lot of AP’s, but my school’s on the block system, so it’s only 4 classes at a time. I’m worried that colleges will think my senior year’s a lighter courseload than the rest of my high school classes in previous years (because I’m only taking 7 HS classes, and 2 classes that are considered to be “easier” - although PE might be a struggle lol), but I am taking a CC class, and I need a break :wink:

just got out of school lmao

I’m really not excited to take the SAT, specifically math because the math section goes all the way to Algebra II which I’ll only be 3 into by the time I take the test:(

Part of the 2018 class here, If you are in algebra 2 during your sophomore year take the ACT in February and April and then again in June. You might not get all the math in February and maybe April but you should do decent:The ACT doesn’t have that many Algebra 2 questions. By June you should be ready for a max score. If you study well enough you might not have to worry about the ACT during your junior year when you are taking a lot of APs and honors classes. This will make your life a lot easier. Just putting this out there because I didn’t know anything about the ACT till like May and it was too late so I took it in June but I really wish I would have taken it earlier.

Also, if you don’t score as high as you like in June by all means keep going. Do not listen to everyone that says you shouldn’t take it more then three times. This is BS you can erase your scores if you wish so even schools that require you to send all the scores won’t really know how many times you took it.They will only see the scores you didn’t delete.

P.s before you delete your score pay attention to your superscore as some schools use superscore and deleting a test can lower your superscore.
Just my two cents…

@kassh4 thank you!! Unfortunately I have to take the SAT, it’s required for admission to NCSSM:(

finally got out of school - went to the beach with my whole XC team and it was hype

Whoops, forgot to pay my freshman dues lol.

I feel like I’d do so much better at the ACT I’m pretty solid with math

@adiacs You can probably use a similar schedule for the SAT

@literallyliteral Yayyyy you’re out of school! Anyone here still not on summer break?
@IrrationalPepsi Lol

What’s up, guys? I’m gonna catch up on all the stuff that’s been happening (again)… I should come on CC more often!

Classes Next Year & What I’m Excited for in each of them (I don’t know any of my teachers… new school ://)

  1. English II: I like humanities-related things and we’ll be reading Jane Austen! Looks good–I’m excited.
  2. AP World History: I’d rather take AP European History than AP World but my school doesn’t offer it… :frowning: It’s still my first AP class and I’m super excited for the challenge (plus being with other motivated students)!
  3. Algebra II: Math isn’t really my strongest subject so I’ll be taking a mini Alg I review course for 5 weeks before starting Alg II so hopefully that’ll help. High five @adiacs I guess we’re both not too keen on doing math.
  4. Biology: My current school does Physics/Chemistry Lab Science freshman year and Biology sophomore year, but since my new school does Biology freshman year, I’ll be taking this class with freshmen–yay, new friends!
  5. Latin I: I really, really, really like Latin. I want to be able to old texts in their original language. I’m so, so, so pumped for this class.
  6. Electives… Ah… I don’t know what electives I’ll be taking yet but I hope I can fit either Mythology or Forensic Science into my schedule.
    (By the way, @IrrationalPepsi how do you bold/italicise/underline things here?)

Class Size
Last year (this year?) <- by this I mean freshman year, I was at a school with 3000 students (K-12) and there were around 160 kids in my grade. The high school I’m going to next year (sophomore year) has around 300 students total (Grades 9-12). It’s crazy how there’ll only be 70-80 students in my graduating class 0.0

My plans for my last two years of high school (tentative)
Junior Year: English III, AP US History, Latin II, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Chemistry
Senior Year: AP English Literature, AP Comparative Govt, AP US Govt, Latin III, Calculus
Electives I want to take: Environmental Science, World Religions, International Politics, Economics

Since a lot of us are going to start taking AP classes next year (or already have this year)… Speaking of APs! What AP exams are you guys thinking about self-studying for, if any?

^ For me, below are the exams I want to self study for! Hopefully by senior year I’ll have 8 exams with scores of 4s or 5s because I’m aiming for the AP National Scholar thing or whatever it’s called.
Sophomore Year: AP Psychology (I’m really interested in it!), AP Chinese (I’ve lived in China long enough haha so hopefully I’ll score a 5)
Junior Year: AP English Language (everyone at my school is expected to take it except there isn’t a course for it), AP Environmental Science (I actually really like this subject)
Senior Year: AP European History (if I’ve got the time, if I don’t get senioritis)

I feel like I have my entire high school career mapped out–it could be a good thing or a bad thing, I guess. I don’t have to stress too much about course selection and everything now, but I kind of also enjoy unexpected stuff popping up from time to time. Soooo… ¯_(ツ)_/¯¯

@greenlegobrick
To bold:
[ b ] Hi / b

To italicize:
[ i ] Hi / i

To underline:
[ u ] Hi / u

High five @greenlegobrick

I’m not going to be self studying any APs throughout highschool. My school offers a lot of APs and I’m going to take all the APs I want to take.

Have any of you guys been following Brexit? This is insane

Definitely insane - don’t wanna get too political but if anyone is going to the UK in the summer you’ve probably just saved yourself a few hundred dollars because the pound’s value completely plummeted. Hasn’t been this low since 1985.

@awesomepolyglot ** yay **
@adiacs luckyy :3
@northeastgirl24 What’s Brexit?

Ohh wait Brexit is England leaving the EU! Personally, I’m against it…
