High School Class of 2019

Also, do you have to wait for Junior year to take regular PSAT for your first time to be eligible for National Merit Scholarship?

@manspeak2u
You can only qualify for NMSQT as a junior.
1520 is the top score, it’s normally 1600.

So I opened my Pre-Calc book to the section that we are doing next. One of the examples was called “Using the Double-Angle Formula for Tangents to Find an Exact Value”. Oh, the math textbooks make everything sound harder than it is, I said to myself. Then I tried a problem…

My favorite thing in this world right now is killing small children at this game.

@jdecker9
I couIdn’t figure out how to play at first, but then I crushed all the kids.
It’s pretty fun.

I wrote a test for Science Olympiad and my friends in that event are going to be so mad at me. Hehehe.

@awesomepolyglot I haven’t seen it yet, I’m going to watch it when I get home.

@whimsicalwhims Same, see you at EHT in March :slight_smile:

@whimsicalwhims I just realize that we’re in different parts of the state. Nvm what I just said

I just watched Cath in College for the first time. I wanna go to Standford now.

@adiacs First learn how to spell it… :wink:

Oh sh*t sorry haha

Cruddy lmao

Hey guys, I hope all of you have a fabulous weekend!
Oh… am I the only student that wants to avoid any and all English classes for the rest of my life? Yeah, English classes are not my thing -_-

English is my only thing

^^^seconding adiacs statement

The middle school Science Olympiad team I help out with had their first competition tomorrow and I’m so excited! I’m running an event.

So do any of you feel like your smart enough to get into an Ivy League/ IL leveled school?

I’m definitely don’t think I am. Hopefully in the next 3 years I evolve into a genius lol

I’m going for Rice.

Eh, If I get into any Ivy League, but I can not pay for it, I am going to a state university. I would rather graduate without having thousands of debt, and do the relatively smart thing.

@adiacs No one ever evolves into a genius, they are born with the ability to learn better, faster, and more effective than others, and even that has to be nurtured and helped so that said person can grow into a successful person. Even then, proclaimed “geniuses” never like being called that. :stuck_out_tongue:

Eh, my advice is to not listen to the kids on this site that want to get into all the Ivy Leagues just because of namesake purposes. Many of them set their eyes too high, and get rejected because of it. Use your resources, be more than just an “educated kid.” Help out in the community, raise money for the less fortunate in your community, volunteer at retirement homes and other assisted living homes. Inspire the elementary kids who believe that they are too “dumb” to go to college. DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE SYSTEM (your brain)!
