<p>I just graduated from high school, so I just finished my senior year.</p>
<p>Assuming you are applying to colleges early (since you aren’t taking tests in December), I think you should slack off a little bit (just a little bit) in school September and November and focus more on your tests and your college applications. Your senior year grades don’t really matter much since your colleges will see them after they accept or reject you. Getting a few Bs during your senior year here and there won’t make the colleges want to rescind their decision; just don’t fail or come near to failing.</p>
<p>Some tips/comments:
- Calc BC isn’t that hard if you pay attention. If you don’t pay attention, you’ll have to learn things by yourself when you do the homework at home, which may be hard and TIME-consuming since textbooks are pretty hard to read. At the beginning of the year my calculus teacher said to always stay ahead of him, since it is easy to fall behind if you don’t pay attention to every lesson. You don’t want to waste time self-studying calculus (or otherwise struggling to do the homework) because you want to spend time studying for the SAT and doing college-related things.</p>

<li><p>I never took AP bio, AP psych, or AP spanish in high school so I can’t help you with that. The same advice probably applies.</p></li>
<li><p>I assume you know, generally, what colleges you want to apply to this fall since you have decided to submit 3 subject test scores. I guess you are applying to Georgetown, since that is the only college that requires scores from 3 subject tests. If not, it’s not as bad if you don’t do well on all 3.</p></li>

<p>If you have questions about senior year or college applications I’d be glad to answer them.</p>
