<p>I would say keep your standards high, maintain the rigorous "extras" alongside your school schedule and do not rely to heavily on "practice tests". Keep yourself sharp and practice all that you can for your SAT. To me it would seem that that SAT will be the "make it or break it" factor, but otherwise you have only maintenance to be expected of you.</p>

<p>It'd be good of you to remember your experiences from your clubs, or one of those volunteering that you have done. It's nice to see on paper that you haven't only been studying, but admissions will like to see what you got out of it.</p>

<p>I'm envious of you, I wish I could be 2 years ahead in math, I'm only 1 year ahead -_-</p>

5

<p>your SAT score is almost never a "make or break" factor regardless of school.</p>

<p>Sorry, perhaps my wording was a bit too extravagant. When I wrote "make or break" factor, I meant it as it would be a considerable factor.</p>

<p>Excuse my exaggeration xD</p>

<p>thanks for the correction :)</p>
