<p>The deadline was Frebruary 26.</p>
<p>I can still do the Independent Learning thing, though. If I do Geometry then I could start Algebra II in the fall.</p>
<p>Would it be able to cover the whole geometry text during the summer?</p>
<p>i created a post on the Davidson Institue Summer Program and I think its supposed to be excellent also.</p>
<p>I am taking Geometry through a high school text book over the summer with my uncle who is a math teacher as a mentor...</p>
<p>It is mostly an independant type of thing since I am very intuative to math. My uncle is just going to make me tests and administer tests to me. </p>
<p>He is an honors math teacher at the public school in my town. If you would like the name of the textbook, I'm sure I could find out from him. They are very cheap at the website cheapesttextbooks.com Most of them are used, but they serve the purpose...</p>
<p>Just an option... Available without having a summer session. I also have websites for online step-bystep instructions to the lessons if you are not so intuative to math...</p>
<p>LET ME KNOW!!!</p>
<p>That's a good idea, dancer. Your diligence will be rewarded.</p>
<p>When you take the SAT in middle school and report scores as part of one of the regional talent identification programs, your scores are erased/obliterated/wiped out, etc. as of June of the school year during which you took the SAT.</p>
<p>However, if you wish, you may keep those scores by contacting the College Board. If you do so, they're on your "permanent" College Board record.</p>
<p>These scores would then get reported to colleges later on. They'd also include the dates taken.</p>
<p>If you want to send your SAT scores from a talent identification program to boarding schools the following fall, you do NOT have to save your scores. You can self-report, you can send a photocopy of your score report (and, you can even send them a .pdf of your essay which is downloadable from the College Board site after your scores are released), or you can have the talent identification program forward the scores (including the essay).</p>
<p>If you fail to notify the College Board about keeping the SAT scores, they are gone. They do not tell you about this option. In fact, they do not tell you that your scores will be wiped out forever and ever. You would only know this if you happen to read p. 18 of the registration materials.</p>
<p>If you do very well, I don't see a down side to keeping the scores. Who knows when you might need them...for boarding score or a "Governor's School" program or something else. And the colleges will weigh them accordingly. The problem, I suppose, would arise if your scores decline after 4-5 more years of school. That might be embarrassing. But I think one could "spin" that situation to one's advantage. And it probably is better to have those earlier high scores than not.</p>
<p>Anyway, I just thought I'd alert you to this option and how the talent identification scores are treated vis-a-vis your "permanent record."</p>
<p>Great, interesting input D'yer.</p>
<p>& Thank you, Tom. You are going to be a great classmate, if you come to Andover...</p>
<p>Yeah, if you do well on the SAT, just keep taking it until 9th grade. It's great practice. Then do what my older daughter did - start taking the PSAT in 9th to retain your SAT skills.</p>

<p>Probably. I work A LOT faster when I learn on my own vs. learning in a classroom. </p>

<p>If I went to summer session I wouldn't take geometry. I would major in Speech and Debate and minor in French. I'd love to have the name of the textbook you're using.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>OKAY, I just need to ask what it's called and I don't believe I will be able to contact my uncle until thursday because he works at school all day, then works at a community college teaching adults Algebra1/Geometry at a local community college program from Monday through Thursday...</p>
<p>So, I'll get back to you... =]</p>
