@RajaAKshay: Umm, I'm not sure.

@Rezoina: Thanks ^^

Paypal is scamming me. Shouldn't it work with ebay while limited?

@RajaAKshay: All in all best of luck though.

But your college schedule looks pretty hefty, but if there's a will there's always a way![/quote]

I'm sure I can take the course load. I just have to work on my time managment better.

@Rezoina: My tenth grade english teacher is probably the smartest person I know. I also happen to be close to this AP BIO teacher. Both are willing to help me. I plan on going to Upenn and trying to dual major in Finance and Buisness for undergrad. Go off to become corporate lawyer. As for community service, its more for NHS. Although, I'd probably achieve well over the 100 hours that are required in Junior and Senior year combined.

@RajaAKshay: It's really good that you're doing community service. I know of a kid that was like top 5% got like a 1900, which I think might correlate as a 29 on the ACTs and got into John Hopkins, although everyone didn't think he'd make it because our school was soo small. But he got in because of all the community service.

I take it that you wanna go to a school of that prestige or higher. Just be yourself. One of the most important things though is when you're making that essay be unique as possible and screen that crap through lots of your English teachers.

@Rezoina: This is how my schd looks for me. 6:30~4:30 School. 4:30~5:30 eat/hw. 5:30 ~ 6: 30 volunteer at hospital. 7~8 gym. 8~sleep. Relax/hw/study/eat.

@RajaAKshay: Exercise keeps your mind not so tired so if you can go and work out in the morning it'll do you real good. I know some people tend to eat lots of fish and a couple of teachers say they used to fall into a lot study superstition stuff like "anything I write with this pen, I can't be wrong" just as a big confidence booster. But don't get to attached/absorbed into that.

[quote=Rezoina]@RajaAKshay: Well the thing that AP USH teacher taught us when studying, it becomes really bad if its for prolonged periods of time.

Think about it; when you study for a long long time, you remember the a lot of the beginning of what you studied and what you studied last right? The middle stuff gets all jumbled and sorts, but what if we break it down? Study, do a couple of things like errands, eat, or exercise, and then study. That's what creates a better study habit and relieves tension from your head. Reward your good studying time too. Don't go all out.

But if I remember right if you're very book smart the ACTs should be good for you. Though it has some pacing, it's nothing like the SATs. You can be the valedictorian of 241432 kids and still not score a perfect score. That's a test of pure wit.[/quote]

Well for my ap exams, I usually just read the books over winter break. Then again during spring break. Then again before the AP Exams.
But for the ACT, I just want extra practice. I already got a 29 on my practice ACT I took this year. It's just the fact I need use of my good time. Anything would basically help since I need to get into a good habit. (Wanting to become corporate lawyer.)

[quote=Rezoina]AP USH is all about if you love the subject or not. I loved that class, because I'm drawn to storytelling and all our teacher did was talk, and he knew the basis of everything inside and out.

A lot of the kids hated him for that, but I listened to each one, took his notes, and passed the exam with a 4, (you don't need to write a closing if you run out of time; I written no closing whatsoever because I'm a sloow writer) which was what most kids who (hated) studied got form their AP Sparknotes and all that. I just skimmed through my notes and took everything he said seriously even though the environment of the class was relaxing.

Any class is doable with the proper attitude, I'm not kidding, nor are your teachers either.[/quote]

I love History, and I do have a nice memory. It does help to be safe by spending a couple of bucks for books. Since I do need a 32~34 to get into my dream college, I shall try my hardest. I just have extra time on my hands outside of speech team and volunteering, and I won't be on maple any more. Rather spend my last two years of highschool being productive.
