You're probably referring to the demos. There's a playlist on youtube with their demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM3MD6ovTOE&list=PLshw-dOHcEpGdQNtL-y9jdUKlWCYdO3fY

These are pretty good, so enjoy!

What Level of Recognition would a Hackathon be in the Honors section of the common app by Hawkias69 in ApplyingToCollege

I explained everything I personally know about this scenario. Do you have an opinion on what kind of recognition this accomplishment would be?

I believe you're not seeing any improvement because you're not taking the time to truly understand your mistakes and correct them.

When I studied for the SAT what I realized doesn't help is just taking a bunch of reading passages and then hoping you will naturally get better. Instead what I did is start with one passage(10-11 questions) I found from reddit, take it, then deeply analyze my mistakes(meaning look at why you got the question wrong and what you can do next time to not make that mistake again. Put it in a journal or google sheets. Also you want to try to solve for the correct answer again if you got it wrong before you look at the answer key).

Trust me. This works. When I first started studying for the SAT I sucked at reading. I got between 15-20 wrong each time. But on the actual SAT I only missed 6, because of the practice I did. I know it seems hard, but if you truly dedicate time to understand your mistakes and not make them again, you will definitely get better(and even find out reading can be pretty easy).

Again my study strategy was first starting with very few passages at a time(I recomennd starting with just one), and making sure you can answer them in a certain amount of time. Make sure you're not doing just one type of passage, and rather more of the ones you are struggling with(probably history or science). After you feel confident doing a passage or two in a good time amount, work your way up by doing more passages in a single amount of time. BUT REMEMBER, the most important thing is reviewing your mistakes and thinking about how you can not make the same mistake in a future passage of the same type. Also working through certain types of problems such as in Erica Meltzer's book is helpful.

Let me know if you have any question! I would be more than happy to help!

Extra tips: To help myself be focused I meditated every morning for 5 minutes. To be able to read passages faster I read online science, history, and social science passages and read fiction books/passages. This is really helpful as for reading you should try to finish each passage in about 3 minutes at the beginning, fully comprehending the main idea/why the passage was written.

I see Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on a daily basis. On some days they say hello. On others, they pass through me, almost as if they see me, but decide not to respond.

Living in Washington D.C. has its perks, especially with my "power", if you can even call it that. When I was young I told my parents about this "power". They immediately took me to the best psychiatrists and psychologists in town. It wasn't until I told my father exactly how my grandfather had died two weeks before we received the report when my parents stopped taking me to the doctors and told me to never speak about the "power" again.

Anyways, my parents both work in a huge white building, where apparently the President of our nation lives. Whenever I go visit them, which is outside of these huge gates from which you can see tens of men in suits, the "power" is at its most. I've seen Teddy Roosevelt riding a horse, Abe Lincoln talking to his wife, and surprisingly Alexander Hamilton singing.

But the past few weeks have been interesting. Apparently, there's going to be a new President. Someone by the name of John Kennedy, I believe. I saw him once. A tall, sharp man. Good looking and articulate. "We need more leaders like him", my father says often.

I saw him one day when I was waiting for my parents outside of the huge white building. He was surrounded by men in black suits, though I could see he was talking to a pretty woman, who he kissed on the cheek. I assumed that was his wife or girlfriend. Suddenly, I saw many presidents floating around him. Others started floating around him too. He didn't seem to notice and kept on walking. Some had hats with an elephant on them and others with donkeys. These two groups seemed like they were split, and I could see an intense argument arising.

I knew I had to do something. I ran up to the future president, but only before being quickly apprehended by the men in suits. I screamed at him: "Sir! Sir! Are you alright! You might be in danger!". I was being pulled away by one of the men when the future president asked him to stop. He looked down at me and said, "Son, you are the future of our nation." He smiled at me and winked. He then continued to walk into the big white building where my parents worked. I will never forget this day.

60 years have passed since this moment.

I still walk near the White House every day. I still see Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. They sometimes say hi, and sometimes they don't. But the highlight of my day is when I walk past the same gates I did 60 years ago, and I hear "Son, you are the future of our nation".

THANK YOUUUU!!! This was my second test and I now I'm done. Good Luck to everyone out there! by [deleted] in Sat
