<p>@goldenratio in Chinese, the “he” and “she” are both pronounced “ta” :D</p>
<p>And good luck not dying of embarrassment… I mean, making the Harlem Shake video! Really though, post the link when you guys make it so we can send you on your way to viral superstardom ;)</p>
<p>Just curious, when do you guys’ schools end this year? When do your high schools start?</p>
<p>We end at about early May, and begin at the end of August.</p>
<p>@sg12909: Ahhhh! Gender confusion!</p>
<p>@TheApplier: Our school ends in early June, and starts up in late August (what, sg12909?! Your school year is one month shorter than mine!)</p>
<p>Classes end May 9th 
We have finals during the following two weeks though.</p>
<p>Do you guys have midterms at your schools? Mine are spread out, and I just finished a Geometry one. It’s my easiest course, and it was 10 questions long and only took me 45 minutes. But my biology one, which is in a few days, will have 2 essays and 30 multiple choice questions and about 5 short answer questions :(</p>
<p>I have midterms and finals as well. They totally stressed me out! My midterm grade was horrible in Math, so that brought me down from my first ever (!) A in math back to a B. My Science grade was okay…I took these tests a few months ago.</p>
<p>Good luck! I’m sure you’ll do well!</p>
<p>Yes! I’ve gotten a 100/100 on my Geometry Chapter 8 Test which is about Sin, Cos, Tan, Angle of Elevation, Angle of Depression, Magnitude, Altitude, and more. I’m probably going to hate Chapter 9. It’s about Reflection and ROTATING! Moving on. I’ve receive two big trophies for getting first in our District’s Keyboarding [I can type 130 Words per minute] and our District’s Math competition. It’s for FBLA and I’m probably going to state. Free Trip to Orlando! Weeee. I hope I make it into nationals.</p>
<p>I got a 100 on my geometry final last year, not because I’m good at math, but because it was so easy after I studied a lot of geometry by myself for the SAT. Have fun in Orlando, and good luck!</p>
<p>I don’t want to come off as arrogant or something, but seriously though the SAT math section is incredibly easy. I don’t know how people can finish Algebra II with an A and not score 700+. Goddammit, the answer to the third most difficult problem in one section in the Jan 13 SAT was just 5!=120. If you do practice tests and/or can do matchcounts, you can score 700+. The mathcounts competition is 999x harder.</p>
<p>How did I only get a 710? I made three silly mistakes in the numbers and operations/ elementary algebra section. And got every other problem.</p>
<p>I don’t want to come across as arrogant either, but IMHO the ACT English section is incredibly easy. It isn’t English, it’s grammar! I got a 36 in 6th grade with only about 5 hours of sleep. I don’t understand how people can get under 32. It’s mostly just subject verb agreement, and the rhetorical questions are way easier than the SAT’s critical reading! And the punctuation questions are really easy. We learned this material in second grade! I guess that applying it can be the problem, but it really is so simplistic, especially compared to the Science section <em>shudder</em>.</p>
<p>Good luck to all applying to prep schools :)</p>
<p>^ Hey, thanks! 
I actually got accepted to one of them! Yay! <em>victory dance</em></p>
<p>@GoldenRatio</p>
<p>Cool!</p>
<p>So anyway guys, what APs are you planning on taking in HS? At what grade level can you start taking APs in your high school?</p>
<p>I know there are some people here who’ve ALREADY taken APs. You guys are lucky. We can’t take AP Classes until 10th grade unless it’s Calculus AB/BC (Placement tests)</p>
<p>P.S.</p>
<p>@Kysanx</p>
<p>Have you decided if you’re going to take French yet? :)</p>
<p>APs in seventh grade = <em>_</em></p>
<p>Congrats! My parents are working longer, so I’m going to go to a local public school and try to convince them to let me do AP World history, AP bio, AP language, AP Chinese, and Honors Precal as a 9th grader.</p>

That’s a ridiculous course-load as a Freshman. I’m a Freshman now and I’m taking Pre-Cal/WHAP/Physics and I find it semi-challenging. I couldn’t imagine taking 4 AP classes my first year of HS. Freshman year is an important transition period; you don’t want to get burned out and ruin your GPA the first year, it’s just not worth it.</p>
<p>I would have died taking that many.
Hell, I hadn’t even HEARD of AP tests then.</p>
<p>I suppose if you think you can handle them, it’s fine, but most people couldn’t…</p>
<p>Actually, those are the courses that follow my current courses. I live in one of the worst school districts, and we’re famous for grade inflation, so I’m not too worried about my GPA. I talked to a school counselor, and she seems okay with me doing those courses. She just has to check with the science division head for Bio.
What grade did you guys start APs and how many did you do?</p>
<p>are you still going to OHS?</p>
