@red42413 The NWEA assessments are: Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) – These computerized tests are adaptive and offered in Reading, Language Usage, and Mathematics. When taking a MAP® test, the difficulty of each question is based on how well a student answers all the previous questions.

So guys, how are you finding all this tests and olympiads, conferences, science, math competitions? Your schools offering it or you are just wandering around the internet looking for some tests to take to evaluate yourself? I feel myself like I am from another world… yes, I am from a very small city… well, from another planet… another universe…
@javascript Haha, I’m in the same boat. My town isn’t even really a town, about 500 people and it’s officially a village. My school offers math and scholastic bowl stuff, (who’s going to the conference tomorrow?). The rest I heard of through Northwestern’s CTD program and the people I met while in the program
@javascript My school offers Science Olympiad and math team (NSML/ICTM).
Speaking of math team, if anyone has any digitized former tests for the NSML Conference Meet that they could send me, please do so. I want to practice as much as I can so that I can stay on the cumulative rankings for freshmen.
Also, who else here is doing the Fresh/Soph 2-Person Team for ICTM regionals?
I am!! It’s gonna be fun.
@YoloSwagMaster Where’s your regionals location? We’re going to Harper.
@PlanarStuff I’m not doing the team, I’m doing the individual test but I’m still going!
Also, I’m at Whitney Young for a scholastic bowl conference rn and it’s super cool, holy cow.
Regionals isn’t today for us…
@YoloSwagMaster neither is it today for us. It’s on the 27th for everyone
My schedule:
mathcounts chapter: 02/20, @College of Lake County
science olympiad regional: 03/07, @Neuqua Valley High School
Anyone going to the Huntley Invitationals for SciO next Saturday?
Hi! I’m a freshman applying to IMSA this year and was wondering if you guys could tell me what you think my chances are?
SAT: Math - 800
CR - 670
Writing - 710
GPA: 4.0
EC: Math Team
Science Club
Robotics
Chess
Scholastic Bowl
Band (French Horn)
I think I have good essays/teacher recommendations
I’ve gotten quite a few math/science awards (I’ve been to state for Scholastic Bowl and Mathcounts)
I don’t know if this is applicable but I’m a white male from a suburban area
I’m taking AP Calculus and Chemistry right now (I’ve already taken Biology)
I’ve only been to IMSA for preview day twice
Also, was anyone in Peoria for chess the last two days? Thanks in advance…
@glad00 I am not an expert, but I do not see anything that can prevent you from getting accepted, even that you are a white male B-). My prediction is 90% :> Everybody here knows I am a magician :-" … honestly, I wish I had 4.0 GPA… and 800 SAT… Good luck to you!
AP CALC. HOWWWWWW
@javascript @YoloSwagMaster I studied calculus in seventh grade. When I showed my math teacher she talked to the principal and bumped me up to algebra 1. That summer I took geometry so in eighth grade I took algebra 2/trig. This year I’m taking AP Calc. but I already know it (besides some of the BC maybe) so its basically just a review for the AP exam… I also took the NWEA MAP test… I think I scored 305 on math and high 250s on reading in seventh or eighth grade… btw I found online that the max score is 320.
Also, I mentioned that I live in a suburban area, but I guess its actually a pretty small town - under 20,000 population. I have a friend who’s older brother goes to IMSA and he said that on average 2 people from our county get in each year…
@javascript Thanks, good luck to you too! It’d be really cool to be able to meet you guys at orientation…
Do you guys take a foreign language? I’ve heard its SUPER hard to test out of Spanish 1 at IMSA…
Hey man, @glad00 what are you going to do at IMSA is you already know everything about math :-? Just kidding, I guess you can do science…
