<p>lol i feel sorry for you guys…watch out next year…junior year is gunna gang-**** you…</p>
<p>Junior year is going to be awesome. I don’t care what anybody else says.</p>
<p>Why is this thread dying?
Don’t tell me it’s because of that other thread.</p>
<p>ughh finals start tomorrow, but i’ll be done by like 11:00 am on mondayyyy</p>
<p>last final tommorow:) But I haven’t studied for it, it’s only Spanish. Got all the hard 'uns done Tues.</p>
<p>I’ve got 3 finals left. No longer getting a D. :)</p>
<p>yeah, I am so relieved, I saved my grades. Studying for my math final for like 5 hours definitely paid off.</p>
<p>^Good job!</p>
<p>By the way, I’ve noticed that a lot of us are planning to study for the SAT over the summer.
How are you guys going to study? </p>
<p>As much as I thought I wouldn’t resort to getting a tutor, I think I’m getting one. For math, at least. I’m good with writing, and reading is something you can’t really study for. Of course I could study vocab, but that seems like a massive waste of time.<br>
And oops, I forgot all about the ESSAY. Ugh.</p>
<p>I want to make NMSF. :)</p>
<p>me too, I want NMSF! That’s probably one of my top goals next-oops, this- year. </p>
<p>Since we already have every study guide known to man in our house (byproduct of two sisters already gone to college), I thought I would just do those. I was figuring I’d take a lot of practice tests. I’m good for CR, I’ll just memorize some more vocabularly. For writing, I’ll brush up my grammar rules, and mostly practice. Math is my lowest score right now, but in a weird way, I kinda like these problems better than regular math. I dunno, they’re like puzzles or something! If it weren’t for the pressure and time constraint, I might actually like doing them. But Math shouldn’t be that hard after studying, they’re just patterns. They only have certain types of problems on the SATs, so I figure once I practice enough I’ll be fine.
I’ll probably take my first SAT around Nov, then retake in Jan if I need to.
Shooting for a 2250+ (I hope I can do it!)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Me too. Watch me get a 2240, and then have to post one of those annoying “Should I retake?!?!” threads.</p>
<p>lol.</p>
<p>^yeah, I totally see that happening to me too, lol.
Then everyone will just rant at me and be like, “OMG, you have a 2240, why are you retaking? Can’t you spend some more time on other parts of your application?”
But I dunno, 2250+ is the magic number. It’s all or nothing.</p>
<p>Watch me get under 2000, though.</p>
<p>I’m aiming for 2250+ as well. Good luck to all of you. I can totally see myself getting under a 2000 even on my third try. Whenever I take blue book tests, I get bored really quickly and get a really bad score. I’ll have to start tricking my mind into thinking the SAT is “exciting”. XD</p>
<p>Haven’t taken any practice tests yet, but what’s really scaring me is the 4 hour time. I almost fell asleep during my WHAP test. I’m not sure how I’ll fare on the SAT…I don’t think I have enough brain stamina (or whatever you call it), to make it through the test with my reasoning abilities at 100%.</p>
<p>I agree, 4 hours is deadly for someone with such little “brain stamina” as me. I can’t stay fresh for 4 hours straight, especially after reading those loooong boring passages for Critical Reading. The PSAT is a lot better, I like how it’s brief so I’ll probably do a lot better on it SAT. Too bad it’s the SAT that counts more.</p>
<p>I just realized that the next SAT subject tests will be administered in October, so I’ll probably self-study for Biology (I took Honors Bio this year), and maybe Math 1, Literature, or US History (any 2 of those). After I take Precalculus, I’ll take Math 2.</p>
<p>Haha the reading passages from the PSAT are so boring and random. So is the vocab. I went home to check a word from the PSAT, and it wasn’t even in the dictionary. </p>
<p>I took World History this weekend. They had the most random questions in the world that noone could possibly have known (nowhere to be mentioned in PR or my textbook). Oh well, I hope I did ok.
2 more to go (assuming I didn’t flunk the WH), I’ll probably do Lit, USH or Bio next year. I’m a bit afraid of the math/science subject tests.</p>
<p>I haven’t taken any of the standardized tests yet.</p>
<p>My schools doesn’t allow sophomores to take the SAT (They seriously refuse to register you) or any AP’s, and things sucked this year so I didn’t get the PSAT in.</p>
<p>^You can register for the SAT w/o even letting your school know. You just go online and pay for it.</p>
<p>^your school sucks then, seriously, why would they do that? They don’t even inform you you can register anyways?</p>
<p>Ya, I couldn’t do an online payment. 
I know you can do it that way, but we weren’t able to. </p>
<p>My school doesn’t want to “overwhelm” students. Maybe they should since the majority go to the 80-85% accepted state colleges. If you have above a 3.0 you’re not required to do any standardized test. </p>
<p>It’s really annoying. Ah well. I’m taking it this year.</p>
<p>ahhhh I took a few AP exams and i was able to do them
but then i went to a few SAT 2 sittings i was never able to concentrate/finish them =_=</p>
<p>next year schedule!
AP Calc BC
AP Physics B
AP English Language (my 3rd language)
HP French 3 (Foreign)
AP US History
AP Statistics</p>
<p>ummm
How does the rank system work?
theres a Class rank and a 10-12 rank.
Some schools are familiar with it… but i didnt take high schools credit seriously in 7-9th grade.
class rank 34 yet 10-12 rank 1</p>
