and it's in my sig because it's one of the funnier things i've read on the internet in the past few months
and i'm not complaining about standardized tests as much as i am commenting on how useless they are in preparing you for college
and ya funny
and yeah i don't think that being 18 in the fall of senior year implies that you were "held back" but you still could have started school a year late or something, you don't need to shuffle
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i'm just curious so you don't need to answer but did you ever take the putnam competition? and if you did, how did you do?
no never did the putnam, but it's pretty hardcore. in all honesty it'd probably grill me in the long run -- you have to literally live and breathe math to compete against the kind of people who compete in it seriously. i'm still able to do a lot of the crap they shell out in the aime/amc/usamo, but meh.
btw what's so funny about that paragraph? there's nothing really all that hilarious there -- it's just a list of people.
standardized testing is pretty useless in terms of college preparation though, i'd agree.
lol yeah i just checked into the scoring reqs for my ap tests and its a joke
you need like 75% possible points to get a 5 wtf ?_?
/preparation
ps im takin da may sat woohoo. -_-;
as long as i at least get my projected psat score (lmao) i'll get 2200 but i plan on actually applying myself for the sat D:
wish me luck kids
the sick thing is is that you can take a crapload of ap's, get 5's on them, and get out of a lot of requirements in many colleges -- even Ivies. That's one thing I was a little bitter about as an IB student because even though it's harder, you get less bang for it, so you wind up shelling out a ton of money for AP's to avoid the incremental costs later on in terms of wasted classes
