*<strong><em>(please don't think I'm being arrogant with these high projected scores. I'm learning all the topics listed, in harder IB classes and will self study to boost my AP score chances. My school has the highest IB test passing rate of all the IB schools in the world -- 99%, meaning it's so hard that we're beast at standardized IB tests). I love all my classes, and I've learned to manage time wisely. If time management doesn't work, i'm the kind of person who can go weeks with 5 hrs of sleep each night without red bull or coffee. In addition, these are projected scores! Meaning, I just set these as a goal, to see if I do in fact have a chance at top schools, namely Penn and JHU, if I can pull these stats off. I want to know I have a chance.)</em></strong>*</p>
