<p>Everyone else was doing it so I figured I might as well too. I'm on break from exeter and willing to answer any questions you may have.</p>
<p>So many Exeter help boards! Man, you guys are awesome.</p>
<p>Hokay, so:</p>
<p>How much sleep do you get a night?</p>
<p>Is there a lot of pressure in competition?</p>
<p>Aaaand what would you say is the best part about being at Exeter?</p>
<p>I personally get about seven or eight a night a lot of people get less. Some people get more it really depends on how you manage your time. </p>
<p>I think there’s pressure if you add pressure some people are incredibly competitive and stress about being the best at everything but thats not really the norm. </p>
<p>I would say the best part about being at exeter (at least for me) is the people and all of the oppurtunities you get to do things.</p>
<p>Oh, good. I was a bit scared that the atmosphere might have been really competitive, thanks!</p>
<p>Are there any freshman that take precalculus?</p>
<p>Are the bathrooms clean? Who cleans them?</p>
<p>Yeah there are preps in pretty much every math level.
The bathrooms are pretty clean. In the dorms there is a custodian who cleans the bathrooms I’m not sure who cleans the other buildings probably other custodian.</p>
<p>Do people ever get A’s?
Have they ever curved the grades in any of your classes?</p>
<p>Thanks for answering all my questions!!!</p>
<p>You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to, but what your SSAT scores and are you on FA?</p>
<p>Sorry I already answered it in the other thread 
but anyways people do get A’s but I don’t think they curve grades.
My SSAT scores were:
98% reading
83% Math
89% Verbal
and 95% total</p>
<p>and I’m on partial FA</p>
<p>Urbanflop: Be prepared to retake whatever math you are currently in at Exeter. Like, if you are in Algebra, you will be expected to take another term of Algebra, etc… The highest level of math that preps are in is T3X, which will promote to pre-calculus in the fall of next year. </p>
<p>99% reading
99% math
97% verbal
not on FA</p>
<p>What!!! I am in Geometry and I have an A. I am planning on taking Algebra 2 over the summer though.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was too. Depends on how well you do on the placement test. Apparently I did really well so they moved me up, but don’t count on taking Precalculus even if you do take Algebra 2 over the summer. There was this one kid in my math class that would have been in Calculus BC at his previous school but they stuck him in the same class as me (took up to Geometry)… Also, what was your raw score on the SSAT math section?</p>
<p>how are those weekly dances? do people actually go?</p>
<p>Yeah people go to most of them. Some are better than others. I think I heard that Dunbar’s Back in Black dance at the start of school is usually the biggest and best one of the year. But an important thing to remember is go at least half an hour late.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I’d disagree. Back in Black is definitely the biggest and best, but I don’t think people go to most of them. I feel like the majority of people at dances are preps and new lowers…</p>
<p>Urbanflop,
Don’t me taken back by the fact that near no one actually advances a level in math or has no terms of review whatsoever. A prep down the hall from me, for instance, would be in college if he had stayed in Canada’s schooling system (he was in one of the best private schools in Vancouver). He did make into T3X though, but thats technically like 2 years behind what he was doing last year, but compared to Exeter courses, even though he has enough highschool credits to go to college, the courses he took were introductory.</p>
<p>Dances- Generally, the dances start an hour after the set time and are mosh pits of about 150 people. There’s a lot of grinding at the smaller ones. Most of the school attends the larger dances, though. Like the formals and the first dance of the year. </p>
<p>Do people ever get A’s- Yes. I don’t know anyone who has a perfect 11.0 GPA but I would say around 30/200 have an average above 10.0… it’s very difficult though and those kids generally spend a whole lot of time studying alone in their room. The Canadian down the hall from me who I mention earlier, for example, has a 10.6 plays three sports, and is very well liked by everyone. So, yes, it’s very possible with a lot of discipline.</p>
<p>In previous years, from what I’ve heard, some preps made it to T4x.</p>
<p>w-w-wait, no exeter preps are in multivariable calculus? i’m shocked!</p>
<p>No preps this year are in multivariable calculus. There were probably some last year or the years before that.</p>
<p>how depressing. next you’re going to tell me that no preps have performed an open-heart surgery yet. geez, are their standards lowered this year or what?</p>
<p>its the budget cuts</p>
