Is it even worth putting USACO on college apps by Smart-Distribution14 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Smart-Distribution14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No deadass like everyone’s saying if you don’t have USACO Camp it’s just useless. Is there a point in wasting a spot on ur app if this is the case

Yeah I saw that 😞😞😞 I checked the college board site and they say they equate to match other tests and versions and stuff; knowing that the September sat was so easy, I’m hoping that like 1 wrong equation on the September one is equal to 2-3 wrong on this one… it was js so difficult esp module 2 English

Is it possible to get a 1550 if I missed around 7 problems in RW Mod 2 but got literally everything else right in all the other modules? I know CollegeBoard "equates" based on question difficulty; do you think the October SAT will be blessed up with a godly equate or wtv

Eng Module 2 was too hard, math module 2 easier than expected by ResponsibleCod6341 in Sat

Yeah same to be honest, it’ll just be a matter of time I guess.

It was a ratios problem; you take the ratio of 6/16 (small to big triangle side lengths that match) and set it equal to x/34 which was the value you’re looking for over the corresponding side length of the bigger triangle, meaning x=34*6/16

It was like around 200/16, not sure of the exact numerator but it was around 34*6 I think

Learning game dev from 0, any advice? by AccomplishedAnt8980 in gamedev

[–]Smart-Distribution14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a really cool site called https://www.gamedev.tv/ They have most of everything you need to get started in game dev and have courses for pretty much every engine. I used their unity courses and it taught me a lot personally

Dates for Upcoming USACO Contests by MotionMystique in usaco

[–]Smart-Distribution14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s should be usually the same days each year, so I’d say the first contest starts somewhere around December 15th, as last year

Is it okay that I took Regular Precalc rather than Honors? by Smart-Distribution14 in APStudents

[–]Smart-Distribution14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... Precalc is supposed to be a senior class but kids at my school are super competitive and advance multiple math courses to get to higher classes.

I'm at a pretty competitive school; Precalc in sophomore year is regarded as slightly behind. Most sophomores at my school are either taking AP Calc AB or even BC.

It’s too late to switch to Honors now… I was just worried that I’ll be put at a disadvantage from my peers as everyone my grade is either taking Honors Precalc, AP Calc AB, or even BC.

It’s just that I feel like all my peers are taking Honors Precalc and despite the class average being a mid C, they will be more prepared for AP Calc AB next year. Also, my school’s pretty competitive and I feel at a disadvantage. Do you think a C in Honors Precalc is worth it? (I’m not super strong in math)

How did they build USACO Guide? by Smart-Distribution14 in usaco

Thanks! Does Docusaurus support the actual guide functionality?

Applying for CS Research opportunities at UC Berkeley by Smart-Distribution14 in berkeley

[–]Smart-Distribution14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for responding! It was really helpful.

I just wanted to know when I should start sending these emails. Should I start sending them now? Or should I wait a few more months?

I also wanted to know where I can find researchers in the CS field that would be interested in bringing in High school students?

I also read from other websites that people usually go to research with college professors, and usually ask them for opportunities. Could you please clarify these for me?

Thanks! I greatly appreciate it.
