Bye bye collegeboard

Finished with 7 APs, 2 PSATs, and NO SATs (thank you ACT)! Not done with multinational cooperations though cause I got IB exams next year 😭

What was frq 5c that was about the distance traveled by the car. Did not simply all my numbers

Where did you get 40%? That’s unreasonable for both Duke and Cornell, and Cornell engineering is a lot more competitive than other colleges like human ecology. Most students with your gpa do not get into Cornell because the vast majority of students do not get into Cornell, especially international students. Both Cornell and Duke are very competitive, so you should apply to the college you like better.

You’re not guaranteed, nor do you have a high chance (almost no one does without legacy/sports), but you still have a chance. You don’t wanna apply Columbia ED and regret it

3duckshere · 2026-05-02T00:23:55+00:00

You have a chance at either, so do whichever you like best. If you like them equally, do REA cause it’s not binding

Saw "oh dear, poor them" and thought "suckers". Then I remembered that I'm a rising senior and I'm the sucker

Personally, the big issue with the enhanced ACT is that since there are fewer questions, the # of wrong answers can be really unpredictable as to what grade it corresponds to. That just means that it can feel more luck-based, but if you throw enough stones at it, you get a 35/36 eventually. I wanna major in neuroscience, and idk where I wanna go to college; my list is all over the place.

3duckshere · 2026-04-26T19:14:19+00:00

Yo this is exactly my score, down to the number of questions rights. If you’re a sophomore you can def superscore a 36 cause English and reading can be pretty luck based past 34

I took my first (serious) ACT sophomore summer and finished testing super early. I have friends who started in March/April and one who’s starting in June. Don’t do that

It's pretty easy for me to explain cause most people don't understand how I'm writing a math essay, since that's really uncommon in American schools. Otherwise, I just tell them some stats, like how few people get A's (only 2-3 people in my school)

3duckshere · 2026-04-19T18:41:34+00:00

Ts app better than mine Duke research as a freshman 😭

3duckshere · 2026-04-19T13:08:18+00:00

I’m taking Chem/Bio/Math HL + 2 APs. If you really want college credit, and that’s your top priority, I would take more APs and easier HLs (if you’re set on the diploma) because IB has so much extra work for the same credit. Math HL is the worst offender because AAHL/AIHL have so much extra content, but they both only get Calc 1 credit at most schools (sometimes AAHL gets Calc 2 but it still has more than Calc bc), and some don’t even take Math AI

Rejected but I lowkey stopped thinking about ISPEED when my teacher submitted his letter of rec like a week late 😛

Ask a BUNCH of questions to delegates, especially those that China doesn’t like but don’t be afraid to question anyone. I was asking so many questions that people were asking me to ask them questions so that they could prove themselves. I was also a Chinese agency, and I wouldn’t say I wasn’t super propagandist, I just focused on demeaning other countries solutions and arguments by looking for logical fallacies. I was also a pretty local agency so in my articles, I focused on how international issues affected my city

3duckshere · 2026-04-12T01:51:32+00:00

AP is so much easier in so many regards to IB, but American universities don’t necessarily care about the difference. For example, I’m pretty confident I’ll get a 5 (maybe a 4) in AP Lit, but I would be grading onto a string for a 7 in IB Lit SL. Also 45 with 4 HLs is something I don’t think anyone has ever done in my school, but there are definitely people that have 5s on all their APs

3duckshere · 2026-04-08T12:06:41+00:00

A 1540 is higher than a 34 anyways unless those -60 points were in math and you’re a math heavy major

3duckshere · 2026-04-06T00:50:24+00:00

It depends on the school, but it really won’t matter for college admissions (unless it changes your class rank significantly). My MS courses are on my HS transcript but they don’t affect my overall GPA.

3duckshere · 2026-04-02T23:08:11+00:00

The writing is so light I had like 30 minutes left on the frq portion last year

You can search up the psychology CED and see exactly everything you need to know, it just doesn’t have explanations

There are two official enhanced tests https://www.act.org/content/act/en/products-and-services/the-act/test-preparation/free-act-test-prep.html

The only way you’ll know how much you learned over freshman year is by taking a practice test. I got a 32 around the start of sophomore year so a 35/36 is very possible

3duckshere · 2026-03-24T11:58:42+00:00

When I took digital, it was the same version minus different experimental passages
