Back to school.... by tomfletcherman on 09-03-2004 at 05:22 PM

Sooooo, I'mm a day late posting this, but is everyone enjoying school all over again:|? We had someone from the echo come to school and ask us about our gcse results and places are still off limit from the flooding we had (somehow we still had to go back to school:()

Isn't it a good thing to be both of them though? Cause it goes on your permenant record, and leadership is a good thing for a job, because it shows that youhave discipline etc.

I don't go to school until next tuesday, i'm looking forward to it but i'm not, I can't really explain how I feel at the moment, school sucks kind of, but I like it :) New year, new classes, GCSE's etc.

Perhaps, but I don't want to be a sports captain. Prefect I could do because all that entails is going along to pointless meetings sparsely, and it'd be nice to have a small say in some things...
RE: Back to school.... by RebelSean on 09-04-2004 at 01:29 PM

We take a exam at the end of the semester, at chrimas (3 six weeks grading periods) then we take a gateway( selected students only in 9th) at the end of the year, but if you dont get selected for the gateway then you take a end of the year exam here :p


RE: Back to school.... by tomfletcherman on 09-04-2004 at 05:00 PM

Well its now the year I'll be doing the rest of my gcse's in. Just finished my English coursework in time even though I've had it all summer. I should do my spanish soon but I'd rather not...


RE: Back to school.... by ddunk on 09-04-2004 at 05:06 PM

We've got CAT6's (California Academic Test) at the end of every year, and this year (10th grade) I take my high school exit exam.

I'm taking 2 AP classes this year where after you finish the course, you pay $80 to take a test and if ou pass, you get college credit.

Then to get into college, you have to take the SAT's which are the Standarized Academic Tests (I believe, I had an entire project on College Admissions and Affirmative Action last year :P) which are extremely hard :undecided:


RE: Back to school.... by RebelSean on 09-04-2004 at 05:47 PM

Hmmm Ddunk, you take SAT's your junior and senior year in highschool, well at least thats the way it does in my high school :undecided:.


RE: Back to school.... by Pr0xY on 09-05-2004 at 01:57 AM

School started for me on Sept. 1st.  I really don't know why we started before Labor Day this year,  I think its cause otherwise we wouldn't get out untill the middle of june.

At my school SAT's aren't the most important thing.  We take ACT's, and we can take them in any grade, once a month during school.  They hold the tests at the local college in town.

SAT's = ACT's it just depends on what part of the country you're in, I
had to use a comparison chart in my project.

We can take it Sophmore (at least here), it's just not recommended since you've only taken 1 1/2 years of HS..
RE: Back to school.... by RebelSean on 09-05-2004 at 03:16 AM

ACT is not the same thing, tis different....It's sorta like a gateway/SAT mixed, tho tis not the same thing.....

It's not recommeded here either, but most (except the smart geeks) take the SAT's in our junior year :p

Alot of colleges take both, but there not the same test.  The Act is what I took.  I was alittle nervis when I took mine (there was a really hott babe next to me that I didn't know), and so I want to take it again to see if I can do even better. 

RE: Back to school.... by Ginger on 09-07-2004 at 09:12 PM

Nah, AP and Honors classes give you an extra grade point about a C so...

A = 5.0
B = 4.0
C = 3.0
D = 1.0
F = 0
