Summer Science Program (SSP)

<p>u kno... something tells me that the "richard bowdon" in facebook socorro group is imposter... loooooool oh well, we'll find out xD </p>

<p>btw my school principal has a fb... dunno if it's made by a student or not... doesn't seem like it haha. (yes... when ppl find out they start yelling it's creepy >.> well, the reason i myself first got fb was to "stalk" someone xDxD but then i got addicted to fb... even after getting "ditched" by my "target" hehe and got blocked.)</p>

<p>...</p>

<p>no, im not creepy. ;P</p>

<p>For AP Language, the intros are basically for style and thesis is from what I gathered. The opening sentences basically wow the reader with your writing and the thesis sets up the essay. Focus more on the body paragraphs though...</p>

<p>For the bodies, I basically do an opening, detail, quote, analysis format. Opening sentence, some detail on the topic, a quote or example, then analyzing the example. It works most of the time. :-)</p>

<p>Multiple Choices are weird. I got a 90 on my last one, but a 50 on the one before... I really just pick the passage I like the most (the one about math, science, or the shortest), read it, and answer questions.</p>

<p>But APUSH worries me more right now... -_-'
I'm on page 79 of the 375 pages of review in the REA book with basically 34 hours before the exam. I have totally forgotten anything that happened before Theodore Roosevelt except the Civil War. Which is like 200 years of History. <em>sighs</em></p>

<p>I might post essay guesses tomorrow... I got two out of four right on the AP Gov test, so I'm doing pretty good right now. :-P</p>

<p>AP Calculus Multiple Choice was kind of hard, especially the calculator inactive since I ran out of time. But I beasted the free response, so it's all good. ;-)</p>

<p>I think if you applied for lots of fin aid, then they ask you about a calculator. Is it possible to survive an AP exam without a calculator?</p>

<p>my dad asked for a ridicoulous amount of fin aid. like almost 100% of price. I don't know why he did it, cos we would be lucky to get any of it.</p>

<p>zomg i failed APUSH... ><</p>

<p>i didn't know what the New South was... and guessed wrong!!! my entire essay blew!</p>

<p>hey. don't worry. If you got 80/80 for the mc, you can get like a 4, 2, 1 and still get a 5. I'm sure you didn't fail. =)</p>

<p>Ditto Mitdude.
:P</p>

<p>since I have no idea about the APs could you guys tell me what a 5 means- what is the grading scale, so I could make some sense of what you're talking about? thanks :P</p>

<p>It's on a 1-5 scale, 5 being the highest score... generally 10-30 % of students score a 5, with the exception being Calc BC where an inordinate amount of student score very highly due to a very very generous curve. </p>

<p>I'm straddling a 4/5 on half of my tests, so I'm particularly nervous.</p>

<p>classof09. You're smart. I bet you did fine on all your AP tests. </p>

<p>But yeah... I hope my essay graders are lenient and the machine grading my mc is lenient enough.
=D</p>

<p>I've only taken one so far (USH) and I wrote one of the essays on a completely wrong topic, and the rest of my test was not stellar either. I"m not ready for either of my tests on monday :/</p>

<p>Completely wrong may be. completely right. lol</p>

<p>Haha no. I'm sure...
Oh well... time to learn bio and physics.</p>

<p>taking chem as well?</p>

<p>ouioui.
great life, eh?</p>

<p>what can i say. Science wiz. lol</p>

<p>not really... gonna fail bio and physics.. heh. :)
physics will be the sad part.. i signed up for b b/c i'm taking c next year, but i definately should've taken c mechanics..</p>

<p>That's why you can't take too many aps at once</p>

<p>ap exams are sooo fun. today, took apush, and everyone like walked out the room during the frq and i was the only person still taking it :]</p>

<p>doesn't everyone have to finish at the same exact time?</p>
