So what ASE are you guys taking, and what are your plans for studying?

I took chem AP last year, so I don’t remember much. Thus, I won’t bother trying to take the ASE for chem. Only 1 person I know ever passed it.

I am taking Bio AP this year, but I read somewhere that only 16% passed the ASE in the class of 2011, so I am not too sure how hard I should study for it. I want to take it so i can get all the bio GIR stuff over with. My AP teacher is pretty awesome. We got to do PCR and other fun experiments with plasmids and making bacteria glow, but probably far from enough for ASE. I can get the text books and just study them, but I don’t know how much that is going to help. Any comments/suggestions? ( There wasn’t that much info on bio in last year’s thread)

I took a supposedly Calc based Mechanics Physics at a community college (it is suppose to one of the top CC in the country…-_-). I am trying to go through all the lectures and psets and exams for 8.01 by the end of summer. Apparently the teachers at the CC often get lazy and use problems from MIT OCW.

There are a lot of stuff I want to do over the summer. So might not have time for any of them if I get a internship… ahhh

I want to pass out of at least one so I can take two none GIR classes (2.00B (9-credits!) and 6.01) for 2 majors that I am interested in during spring semester.

So what are your plans?

p.s. I should seriously press the thing on myMIT that says " Yes, I will go to MIT" before I forget…

p.p.s any info on FEE and the limitations of HASS classes if we fail FEE would be very welcomed. Clearly I can’t write English. No joke.
