putnam competition = fail

no one has taken that here im pretty sure, you have to be REALLY into math lmao

[omgitznpv]

i got a 1540 on da SAT

[omgitznpv]

when i was 11

[MrRubix]

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. -_-;

wish me luck kids

[Chauster]

you're 17 kid

wrecked

[MrRubix]

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

[gnr61]

sorry but what are the IB 7's you're talking about, i've never even heard of it and i dont think my school has anything to do with it lol

Rofl you act like I don't like things involving inteligence, I was just wondering cuz all anyone is doing is feeding rubix's extreme ego

[MrRubix]

gnr: international baccalaureate program. it's more common outside the US, but many US schools are starting to offer it. It's basically AP on steroids but with fewer benefits and more stressful side projects like TOK and Extended Essay. It's all BS really, but it does help loads in college admissions bc colleges know how rigorous it is compared to AP.

EDIT: Also, IB tests come in standard level/high level format and are graded on a scale of 1-7. Getting an HL 7 is quite a bit harder than getting an AP 5.

bender: i want to make a game like hungry hungry hippos, only instead of hippos they are MrRubixes, and instead of little ball things, it could be ego food. only my MrRubix is bigger than the others
