Then why is your spelling and punctuation, all wrong?

My class' valedictorian (he takes all IB/AP classes, and has a perfect 4.0 GPA unweighted, weighted is 5.3 or something) cannot type worth a damn. If it was not for spellcheck, he would have worse grades than I (23 or 22 in my class atm, and sinking with this quarter, but since only semester grade counts, I think I can get 20 by the end of the year).

Hahahaha.
The school I go to doesn't offer AP/AC courses freshman year. I did place out of Algebra 1 and got into Geometry, only 50 out of 200 made it in. Next year I'm taking three AP classes. Gonna be tough. But I need to focus on getting through finals first.

EDIT: I have a 4.0, but so do like 20 other people: freshman year is easy as hell.

Im saying in like the gifted minded classes.
Gamemaster, what are you in?
TAG talented and gifted

I was never in one of those classes (while in public school). Every year they made it harder to get in, and I was always left out.

i'm not in any 'special' classes or 'smart kid' classes, but hey, i've got an IQ of like 160 so...it's all good

Well I'm in all Honors classes this year, since AP/IB isn't offered now. Next year, I'm either gonna do all AP/IB classes, go to Oakland University for all my classes, or go to a technology academy near me that's really good for programming and EE, and then I can transfer to OU for Language Arts+Comp. Oh, and I take Japanese lessons. Does that count for anything?

I'm about to plunge into my first year of the IB Diploma Program. I've been in the IB MYP program for 5 years now, and love it. IB is hard but definitely worth it in the long run.

Im concidered Gifted couse I used to read a lot! But i was reading at a 12th grade level in 2nd grade. I also used to write little stories, and a teacher was helping me develop my mad skillz couse i have the potential to be a successfull author. Then a teacher said i was retarded and i stoped writing couse of it.

Gamer2, that's like the funniest thing Ive heard all day. Keep writing man.

That wasnt a joke, its serious

Well I would say that I have an above average intellegence (IQ score is 126), but I'm not the kind of person who has any special gift. The only thing I can do is confuse people with computer talk, and maybe (I can't stress maybe enough) if I practice I could be come a half decent artist, but also half undecent.

I'm more well-rounded, but my real passion is politics and philosophy. Odd combination, no? It does make for writing some KILLER RPG plotlines, though! Now I just gotta improve my C++ skillz at tech camp this summer so I can be good enough to actually make a full-length RPG...

PS- I must agree, Sparkfist, it IS fun confusing people with tech talk! Don't do it if you have a dumb science teacher, though; she may mark you down for having "a too complex write-up on motherboards/circuits". THE WOMAN DIDN'T EVEN MENTION RESISTORS/REGULATORS IN HER DEFINITION!!!!

Lies. That is above Genius level for both the American and British mode of IQ testing, so I do ot believe that for a second. Perhaps you are in the 120-130 range. That is still impressive, however.

Gonna be a junior next year? Here is a hint for English and Chemistry. When you are assigned a the group 6/ib oral, do it as fast as possible and make sure everything is in order. It also helps to be good at speaking in front of an audience, so I would recommend taking Theatre (lots of practice there). It's fun, though, so don't forget to mess around! Although not too much...

I cannot be considered really gifted because I have essentially taken the same math 3 years running (I did all the calc stuff in my Math A2/B1 class while reviewing for the B2 exam, then I took precalc hn last year, and I had to take math methods for the IB credit. I am finally getting A's, though

)

i'm not in any special classes but that's mainly because for the 1st 3/4 of each year i get pretty lazy and don't bother to do most of my homework. but then at the end of the year i always realize i need to get my grades up so i do all my work and stuff. when i actually do my homework i get 100% on everything. maybe i should do that more often

joevennix · Post by **joevennix** » Tue May 16, 2006 8:56 pm

AC stands for accelerated class. It's a 5.0 class, and its a million times harder than any other class, AP or not, so I've heard. And I signed up for three of them. That was my first mistake.
