The Thread For Those Who Feel The Need To Share All of Their Banal Details — Page 135

I know. Life's unfair.

I should probably start studying for the AP English exam.

No, no, no Siamiese. I just plan on applying to NYU...still have not been through the college process yet. Fall '06 is when it all begins.

But based on what you've just said...you've more unless fulfilled my ideal roommate requirements. *le sigh*

That sounds like the English Regents, only with actual standards.

I didn't study a lot; I fell into that trap. I did miserably and felt really, really f*cking dumb.

It depends which English exam; some require familiarity with a certain number of books from class, or whatever.

---

haha, my mom is too weird. I... yeah. Weird as hell.

I'm full, yet I am still eating.

I always thought the Regents were a waste of time - the tests my teachers gave us during the school year were about 10 times harder. Of course, I knew to keep my mouth shut about that around my friends who freaked out over them.

My Math A regents was really easy. I have to take the Bio one in a few weeks.

The APUSH exam needs to be sporadically moved to next week. I can't deal. I need another weekend. Go figure that I'm cutting school tomorrow so I can study...it's a half day, one of my teachers is out, another doesn't really teach anymore because she's on vicodin, and I have a French class with Sophomores who are all taking an AP tomorrow and thus won't be in class. Okay, I'm such a nerd, I will shut up now.

I've never actually been bothered by the Regents before, until Physics came along. *sigh* I'm pretty sure I can pass it if I review. Math B was quite a pain last year...and it was rescored because I guess they didn't want too many summer school kids. I also took the really impossible Math A Regents like 4 years ago and passed in 8th grade. (Then it was rescored, and I got a 99.) I still remember that this kid retook the Math A Regents because he wanted a 100. o_0 He either had a 98 or 99. Math makes me cry now...Calc is hell, and thank goodness I'm dropping it for Statistics next year.

Damn HS requirements...I'm already done with science according to the NYS "advanced" regents diploma. Why oh why can't they just go, YAY FOR EARTH SCIENCE!!! and make my gross grades from physics disappear?

They still don’t have AP English at my school...

Bio Regents...errrrm, I didn't do very well in the class. (Science isn't my forte with an exception to Earth Science and Chem)...basically I flipped though that blue Barrons review book for a couple of hours for like three days and pulled a 92.

Are there lab components to any of the Regents? I'm blanking, I remember there being one for Earth Science...or did they phase them out?

The World History Regents is really insulting...I walked in basically without studying...and I was like missing a 1/4 of the curriculum because I took AP Euro. So I basically had really scare knowledge of Asia and like everywhere else but Europe...and given that I did literally nothing in AP Euro, just look at who the teacher is...the HW was "optional" in a way so I never did it. The essay question was like "talk about two major events in world history!"...and a really BS essay on global warming that I sort of made up from snippets of a PBS documentary and general knowledge.

The only AP class left at my school is AP Calc. Other than that, all of the advanced classes are IB.

I got a 52 the first time on the math A, then a 63, and then an 87. I don't know if I'm going to take it again. I might.

Mandi, did you take the Math A that year there was the big controversey over it?

---

My brother took the Math A the year that it was unusually hard and they had to rescore it because so many people failed. He was in the 70s before the rescoring and it bumped him up to the 80s.

I think that 52 was *after* they bumped it too. *rocks*
