<p>Wow, even then, 7 exams? The only exams I had to take were for English, Algebra II and Chemistry. I’m taking history but technically it’s an elective for Freshmen. No exams for Spanish or P.E.</p>
<p>School ends May 23! 19 days left I believe.</p>
<p>hailbo were you asking me? I’m talking about this semester. My school ends June 6. Ugh.</p>
<p>Exams in Geometry, Biology, History, Financial Literacy, English, and Spanish</p>
<p>And my school gets out June 21st…</p>
<p>My school gets out around June 6th or something around there.</p>
<p>That sucks a lot Prep. What do you do with so many other days??</p>
<p>We get out May 21. Our SOL’s start next week. My honors earth science one is next week and we haven’t even learned all of the material yet :0</p>
<p>Responding to @secjoa8: We start school around August 30th. The school year consisted of a LOT of snow days ( about 7 days worth) and as a result it was pushed back all that way. So technically, we would have gotten out June 14th…</p>
<p>Sadly, we have finals on the last days of school which means you can’t just chill or relax near the end of school. </p>
<p>Fortunately, if I finish the year in good standing (according to all private/prep schools) I will attend a prep school next year. The year is usually from September 5 - May 30th and involves two two-week vacations and a week vacation near Thanksgiving. :)</p>
<p>Wow! I’d like to go to that prep school. Or any, in that matter. It’s hard to find people interested in learning at my public school.</p>
<p>I actually thought the same thing this year. It’s really fun to be with people who want to be challenged and do extremely well in life. ^^ That’s why I joined CC. Also, is the atmosphere at your school a “go with the flow” with most of the kids? </p>
<p>I need a new name for my CC account by the way… Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Yes, my school atmosphere is “go with the flow” or even “only losers go to college”. My friends are, individually, interested in learning, but around each other they think it’s stupid. Maybe I should tell all of them that none of us frown upon education and we can have more fun…</p>
<p>About your name…it’s your name. I don’t think it matters.</p>
<p>I don’t know, that’s hard to say. I can’t think of many names. </p>
<p>Should I go to a prep school? I don’t know if I should. There’s a really good one near my house and the school is across the street from Cal-Tech. The school is really associated with the university. My school isn’t so bad, there’s a good amount of AP classes and smart kids. Should I go?</p>
<p>Would it cost a lot of money? Would you stand out there?</p>
<p>Hoping if someone could help me with a dilemma.
Would u guys choose a public HS (no AP nor IB) with a good reputation or a decent private IB school with scholarship and great potential?</p>
<p>No AP or IB? I’d say go with be private school.</p>
<p>At my school, if you’re in honors classes, you’re surrounded by people who want to do well. A casual conversation may be about college. Actually, we a VERY competitive in terms of grades. Everyone asks about one another’s grades. Sometimes, I find being surrounded by smart kids all the time is exhausting.</p>
<p>Just check financial aid statements from the school. Usually schools can give a decent amount of FA.</p>
<p>What are you all doing over the summer? I’m freaking out right now because I’m not doing any camps or anything, but I feel like I should.</p>
<p>Upward Bound, going to Colombia, USC Enviromental Science thingy, we ask this question a lot here. That, schedules for next year, extra curriculars, what other questions are asked a lot here?</p>
<p>Hey who’s got AP exams coming up?
I’ve got just one, Human Geography.</p>
