<p>Ohhh nooo, another non-academic CC thread that has dissolved into an ACADEMIC one!</p>

<p>Lol, I’m not surprised. </p>

<p>Unfortunately, I went out to see a movie on Friday instead of commenting on this thread. I’m not too late, though. Today’s only…Sunday? Saturday? Oh, it’s Sunday. Ok. /endramble</p>

<p>Have any of you guys seen the Avengers? [Marvel's</a> Avengers Assemble (2012) Watch the Official trailer | HD - YouTube](<a href=“Marvel's Avengers Assemble (2012) - Official trailer | HD - YouTube”>Marvel's Avengers Assemble (2012) - Official trailer | HD - YouTube) I liked it because Robert Downey Jr. makes everything better.</p>

<p>@kimmylouie: Yeah, same here. For some reason the math portion is simple but the reading and writing is the opposite. </p>

<p>@yankeesfanatic: Yeah, I will probably have to do that. The funny thing is that I finished Honors English II with a 99.</p>

63

<p>@catchtwentythree: I will try to restrain myself from the academic comments :).</p>

<p>I haven’t seen the Avengers yet but I have heard it’s pretty good.</p>

64

<p>The funny thing I’ve noticed about the writing section is I think a huge part of it is simple mastery of the English language. So much of it is just the nuances of what sounds good when you write and that makes it very difficult to learn. There are of course general rules that are followed. Unfortunately practice is the only way to efficiently prepare for the SATs.</p>

<p>Avengers? I barely watch movies lololol.</p>

65

<p>Avengers was greeeeatttt. I literally fist pumped when Captain America started kicking butt :P</p>

66

<p>@nate42: I improved on the writing section from a 58 on the PSAT to a 75-80 on MC. Basically all you have to do is learn the grammar concepts that ETS hits on the test, and then the error just jumps out at you. I would highly recommend reading the tips out of the BB as well as Sparknotes’ 7 Deadly Mistakes
for a general overview. </p>

<p>Hope that helps!</p>

67

<p>Avengers forgot SPIDERMAN.</p>

<p>HOW DARE THEY?</p>

68

<p>Well, he’s not one of the original ones. Trying to stay true n’ all that.</p>

<p>E: Although he was in some later ones…</p>

69

<p>^benfster, how can you properly fist-pump if you’re not from New Jersey?</p>

<p>Thread title made me think of this song:[fun</a>. - All The Pretty Girls [Official Music Video] - YouTube](<a href=“fun. - All The Pretty Girls [Official Music Video] - YouTube”>fun. - All The Pretty Girls [Official Music Video] - YouTube)
Although that’s Saturday, not Friday… close enough.</p>

71

<p>BUT I LIKE SPIDERMANNNNNNN!</p>

<p>;p.</p>

<p>It’s sunday noon-ish? and I’m pigging out. WITH WAFFLE CONE ICE CREAM. BOOYAH</p>

72

<p>@iborpastan: Yeah, I guess I will just have to dedicate a lot of time towards this…</p>

73

<p>Im at GA state cup for soccer…tomorrow desides if we make it to the semis</p>

74

<p>@atp: Good luck! :slight_smile: I played soccer for 11 years and got pretty good at it. When I was 13 my club team placed 2nd in the state.</p>

75

<p>Friday was the day after the last day of school for me so I had some friends spend the night. After they left I played Roller Coaster Tycoon (incredible game) and read parts of Steve Jobs’ biography. (side note: has anyone read the Steve Jobs book and if so, what did you think of it, and him as a person). Anyways, Saturday morning at 7 I left for an AAU basketball tournament in Lexington, so I’ve been playing basketball all weekend…now I’m just chillin in my hotel room!</p>

76

<p>What the heck?! I still have a week of school left :frowning: Semester tests are on Thursday and Friday. I seriously can’t wait for school to be over.</p>

77

<p>@jaguar: Sounds fun! :D</p>

<p>@sillycereal: Haha! I was done on the 22nd! ;)</p>

78

<p>What the heck times two. My school lets out the week after this one…</p>

79

<p>you all are getting out a month before me.</p>

<p>but my school starts in September, so I guess I shouldn’t complain :D</p>

80

<p>I start back on the 8th of August! Only three days after I return from science camp! :(</p>
