<p>@DrDorias, My CR isn’t too great. It’s really weird…I can write really well, but I just can’t do all of that CR stuff. Comprehending certain passages, such as Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven, was like, not easy for me. I know the vocabulary but I just can’t think how they go together. Lol. It’s weird because I’ve always taken Honors English and made A’s.</p>
<p>@tacoperson123 For me, CR is something that got better with practice. There’s a strategy I used in the ReasonPrep guide (link earlier in this thread), but doing a lot of CR sections helped me get used to a lot of questions and learn to spot trick answers. Also, my AP Lang teacher is slightly insane (we had to read three chapters of The Scarlet Letter five times so we could “discover new things”).</p>
<p>@IAmTheGOAT We should start an #octobersquad reunion chat sometime.</p>
<p>I’m extremely pissed :(. My dad wouldn’t let me invest in a stock a year ago. Today, it plateaud at an 800% return, so 750% profit. He is just there sitting with his stock barely returning him a 10% return to barely get past interest rates. ;( </p>
<p>lol my dad let me invest some of my college fund in tesla when i was 9 bc i liked the name 
wOwz look how it turned out </p>
<p>That’s awesome! Heck yeah, it all increased! Wasn’t it like a 2000% increase or something? I don’t remember lol. Even the one I was going to invest in was an alternate energy company. That’s what the future will be about. At least, that is my vision. :P</p>
<p>guys we’re having a reunion in Penn remember? #OctoberSquadTakesPenn</p>
<p>Why just Penn, when we can have the world? @scarlettlovesivy </p>
<h1>OctoberSquadWorldDomination</h1>
<p>Haha, I’m probably not getting into UPenn though!</p>
<p>I’m not getting in either 
So I like the world domination idea better. #SQUADGOINUP</p>
<p>Last week I took a Calc test I’m pretty sure I failed (left two word problems completely blank), but somehow came out with a 95%. Bless the Lord for curves. </p>
<p>Took a Calc test today. Taylor and Mac poly series. I’m very very pissed off. I know I accidentally wrote something down that I knew is not right… There goes my 100 lol</p>
<p>Taking a calc test next week and i’m seriously a perfectionist when it comes to math. 100 or go home. </p>
<p>Nice, I try to be like that whenever I actually understand the material, so that it can compensate for when I don’t understand lol. </p>
<p>I wish I were my friend. He got every single question right on the AP Physics Tests in my school last year. He only missed points when he skipped a step or two. He ended up with a 97% in the class. What a god. The class is so hard in my school that an 85% is an A, 75% for B, 65% for C, etc. etc. I can only live that life vicariously through my peers’ stories about his legendary feats in that physics class. o.o</p>
<p>PS I have a 79% in that class right now. LMAO</p>
<p>Man AP Physics B rapes me on a daily basis. That class is insane. I get what you’re saying though.
And AW GOAT! You best be bringing that grade up :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I have to bring it up definitely!!! Btw, I got a 98 on that calc test. And what is physics B about?</p>
<p>Yay go Goat, a 98 in calc is respectable. Physics B is all about mechanics and maybe it wouldn’t be so bad but I, like an idiot, paired it up with AP Bio and AP Calc BC and AP Gov and AP Stats and AP Macro. Please tell me why i’m taking 6 AP classes?!?!?</p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy Cause you want to go to an Ivy. </p>
<p>I’m taking 6 AP’s too. </p>
<p>@Hawkace good point, but I’m probably not going to get in and then all of my hard work will have been for nothing essentially and that would break my heart tbh. </p>
<p>@scarlettlovesivy You’ll definitely get into a great place. I don’t know if it will be ivy, because they’re just so darn unpredictable, but you’ll go some place you deserve to go to… I took 5 AP classes this year, and hardest course load ever, even more than last year, when I took 6 APs. I will probably end up with 2 or 3 Bs this year. o.o</p>
<p>On another note, UPDATE: grade on that Calc test is 99! The teacher made a mistake grading it!!! I got the highest grade on it somehow!!!</p>
<p>My dream Ivy league is Cornell. Their engineering department. <3 And, it just feels like their campus is so cozy, and inviting to learn. But my stupid testing scores. -_- I also loooveeee Dartmouth. Nice, cozy place, looks slightly more liberal. They just acme out with this new entrepreneurial thing. I forgot the name of it, but it’s amazing. </p>
<p>What’s your guys’ take on a 33 ACT score for “lower” ivies like Brown, Cornell, and Dartmouth. (Possibly throw in Columbia and UPenn in that mix, too.) </p>
