hmm i forget the rest... but is anyone taking sats on saturday? im taking sat IIs</p>
<p>^ damn, that was my favourite word. it didn't cross my mind at the right moment, though. I put "surreptitious". </p>
<p>I'm taking the SAT II this Saturday. And I should be studying now, instead of procrastinating on cc. thanks for the reminder.</p>
<p>no problem
surreptitious is a cool word too. the other ones i was thinking of were epiphany, catharsis, and capricious... and some others i can't remember..
which sat II are you taking? i'm taking math II or IIC or whatever it's called.. haha as you can see i haven't studied either.. anyone know if the math II SAT is hard?</p>
<p>kraor...I LOVED the Fountainhead....reading Atlas Shrugged right now...have you read it?</p>

<p>GettingIn- yeah i loved Atlas Shrugged too!! it was amazing. ayn rand does start a like..100 page description of her theory at a point, which got a little old after a while, but otherwise it was amazing. i think i liked the fountainhead better because i want to be an architect. notice my username- kraor- roark spelled backwards</p>
<p>haha wow! yeah I like Atlas shrugged a lot so far...but Fountainhead was AMAAAAZING...dunno about the ending though...seemed a bit too traditional for rand...sorry hope you don't mind me asking...m/f?</p>
<p>f... what about you?
yeah i guess the ending wasn't too spectacular. to tell the truth i don't remember it that well bc i read it 2 years ago- but i remember i loved it, haha. i'm definitely re-reading it this summer, along with the harry potter series before the 7th comes out. so glad to find someone who likes the Fountainhead too because everyone i talk to at my school hates Ayn Rand!! even though they have only read Anthem, which wasn't nearly as good.</p>
<p>f too...yeah haha...she has some pretty 'OUT THERE' ideas but I still love her books...haha or at least so far. And, yeah, of course Harry Potter is amazing! When is the seventh coming out?...btw...is it the final one or are there going to be 8?</p>
<p>yeah her ideas are different than anything i had ever read before. that's a reason why i love those books. i agree with a lot of things she says but she is pretty extreme. it's weird because my 2 favorite books are the Fountainhead and Les Miserables, which have almost opposite messages. but yeah i heard harry potter 7 was coming out july 7-- 7/7/07!!! of course i guess that could be a rumor. i will research it now haha. i think the 7th is the last, which is really sad :( although maybe if fans write her incessantly and bother her enough, maybe she will keep writing...</p>
<p>favorite book: One Hundred Years of Solitute - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

<p>On a side note, I got a 720 in SAT II Chem, which was kind of disappointing but expected because I took Chem two years ago and have only had a month of AP Chem. At least I'm done.....</p>
<p>btlesgirl- That's pretty freaky. And your favorite website was a close runner up for mine, as you can tell by my favorite word!</p>
<p>I also love the Fountainhead! I read it the summer before freshman year, so it boggled my pre-teen mind =P
Emma is awesome! =D Actually, pretty much anything Austen is awesome. Have you seen the Gwyneth Paltrow movie?</p>
<p>800 IIC ^_^ I'm finally done with the SATs! I wanted to bump up my writing score, but figured it probably wasn't worth it, nor am I motivated enough to study. Gah, I have to do ID/RD applications! =(</p>
<p>lol im done too! 800 2c its a huge load off my back. :)</p>
<p>was the 2c hard? i'm taking it saturday. any suggestions? did you study?</p>
<p>well, 2c in general is very hard to fail (by fail, i mean under 700).</p>
<p>the curve is extremely generous, because we are allowed to get 800 even with like 4 or 5 problems wrong.</p>
<p>can you imagine if that were the case for SAT reasoning?
lol i would have 2400</p>
<p>When I was prepping for IIC, people gave me different responses. My math and science camp friends laughed at me for being so stupid, and said "You can walk in there with a TI-89 without studying and get an 800". But, people from my average public school were like, ahhhh soo hard! The curve is definitely lenient though. I skipped 3 questions, and probably got a couple wrong.</p>
