Frick my profit :(

dude i was so close

@cece also my scores were as expected

oh my god guys i havent studied for calc bc at all because lowkey school drama is more important

YOLO 🤩

@cece connor. not to be the asian mom friend but. "nothing is more important than your study" (nothing is more important than me winning money on this market) "you cannot let school life get in the way of your goals" (i cannot let your school life get in the way of my mana)

@ithildulin i NEED my mana!!!!

@cece on the contrary, i suggest you stay up and discuss the entire drama with amelia. this will serve the double purpose of further distracting her from bio study

@Conflux also increasing both of your tiredness

@Conflux bro this shit will have me staying up all night

@Conflux "as a friend, I care about your ap scores"

@ithildulin isn’t drama just applied biology, anyway

Update: Stats was very disappointing. I did the MC questions relatively well, I think- I guessed on maybe two or three of them and feel comfortable that I did well enough. For the FR questions, however, there were way too many for me to finish on time and I ended up leaving a few untouched. The ones that I did solve were the ones I was more confident about, however. I think getting a 5 is out of the question but I'm hoping I was able to get a 4.

Update: Just took AP CS, was much easier than my practice tests. Hope to get a 5 but probably got a 4 at least. (In the two practice tests I've taken, both were a 5, though narrowly.)

Tomorrow is Stats!

Another update!

As my plan said, I was studying for CS this past week and will probably not be studying until maybe Monday or Tuesday (and even then, maybe it'll be a practice test but nothing too rigorous). I took a practice test last night, but I started at 11:30 and by the time I finished my Multiple Choice questions I was too tired to think (and relatedly, I scored really bad on those). I went to bed and woke up this morning, and the first thing I did was start the Free-Response questions (so no studying in between, but there was a difference in mental ability as well as just a time gap). I did much better on these and was able to get a 5 (somewhat narrowly). I graded myself somewhat harshly in my opinion but there were definitely things that could've been harsher.

Today I start Stats!

@cece And in case anyone was wondering exactly how I scored-

I got 25/40 (62.5%) on my Multiple Choice, and 31/36 (86.1%) on my Free Response. After being weighted, I got a score of 111.4573, which falls into the 107-150 range of a 5- according to my book, at least. (I take back what I said before, I very narrowly got a 5.)

Update:

Just to reiterate- I'm taking CS A, Stats, and Calc.

CS A is next Wednesday, and I plan to do most of my studying for this test from now until Friday. I have a book that I'm going through and I think it's pretty good. Everything seems to be pretty easy and even the practice tests that I've glanced at seem to be okay. I have enough resources for this (I think) and I should be able to finish the book by Friday. I then plan to take a practice test or two before the test (I'll take at least one for sure) and review accordingly. I expect to score a 5 if all goes to plan.

Stats is next Thursday. I've taken a class on Stats this entire year, and according to my teacher, we have two units left: chi-squares and slopes. I asked my teacher and they said that a lot of the material we've gone over isn't the "mindset" of the AP tests and one should take at minimum three practice tests before then. I'm basically spending the entire weekend studying for Stats, and will also take a practice test- probably on Monday or Tuesday. I would like to take at least two tests as this would be better for me. I have no clue how to use the calculator for stats (I'm working on that) and my current resources are a book and Khan Academy. I plan to primarily use the book, but I expect I'll use Khan Academy at some point. The book has enough practice tests for me to take. I expect to get at least a 3, and depending on how much I can get done, I think it's possible for me to get a 4.

Calc is in two Wednesdays. I took calc last year and since have forgotten quite a lot. I plan to study for Calc after next Thursday, so I'll hopefully have a few days to do so. I think the AP I have to study the most for is Calc, but I've reviewed most of the concepts that I forgot entirely and so I have higher hopes for this one than for Stats. I am using Khan Academy (I didn't mention it before but it's a wonderful resource) but unfortunately, I lost my Calc book somewhere in my house and cannot find it. In the event that I do not find it sometime soon, I will have to blindly go into the exam without having taken a good practice test. I have old packets of practice tests from years past and can find some online but the grading and platform are suboptimal. I still expect to score a 5 if all goes to plan, but a 4 is definitely possible. (I'm kinda worried about the free response.)

TL;DR: I should do good enough on Calc and CS A, but Stats is a little concerning.

@cece chi-squares are one of the more nuanced types of tests from my experience, but i dont remember how important they were (if you know how to do them on your calculator, you'll be fine)

why is this so low

LMFAO PRINCIPLES

@astyerche 😭

@astyerche yeah so i was wrong- i'm taking CS A
