yeh weather is rubbish today but there's nothing better than cloud-bathing

Tiggy · Post by **Tiggy** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:11 am

Rubbish? Here in sweden it's like super dandy weather! XD

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:12 am

It is getting Cloudy over here again to.... We are supposed to have Really bad weather wensday.

jopencjusz · Post by **jopencjusz** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:16 am

I don't look much at weather forecasts, but if I do it, I'm using internet and swedish webpage, they're doing very good and accurate predictions.

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:18 am

Humm. The weather forcasts a generally accurate hear. Except the ones consurning Snow.

YingBlanc · Post by **YingBlanc** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:19 am

I use the national weather services online, the Met Office. It's also very accurate.

jopencjusz · Post by **jopencjusz** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:20 am

We don't have good weather forecasts, they can't predict well weather for few hours :/

YingBlanc · Post by **YingBlanc** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:21 am

the Met Office can predict for about a week and a bit. I can see if they do a 7-10 day prediction for Poland?

jopencjusz · Post by **jopencjusz** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:24 am

You don't need to do it, as I said, I'm not paying much attention on weather forecasts

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:24 am

Well, hear in Georgia, You can safely predict the weather every day from may through October without looking at the weather forcast. Heat all day with a downpour at about 4 in the afternoon.

YingBlanc · Post by **YingBlanc** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:28 am

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:36 am

That is an option, But I believe Things will start over again when they end here. They usually do.

YingBlanc · Post by **YingBlanc** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:38 am

He didn't say he wouldn't create another. Anyway, we should change the subject since we're technically breaking the rules.

I have testing all the rest of this week. It's gonna suck.

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:47 am

I have Finals next week! I hate Finals!

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 8:54 am

I don't have finals until the first week of June. This is all state TAKS testing. It's really easy but they take it extremely seriously and make it take all day. It's really annoying.

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 9:07 am

Ah, standardized testing. No, wait, not "Ah". "Bleh", yes... that's the word I was looking for.

Cwitt · Post by **Cwitt** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 9:09 am

I hate tests.

It's raining here, so I don't have to drive the tractor today! Yay!

jopencjusz · Post by **jopencjusz** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 9:10 am

I have to write a semestral work till end of this week :/

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 10:03 am

Finals for me are always Difficult. Even if you finsh early, you have to sit and stay the whole time

Bino · Post by **Bino** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:38 am

I hate exams. Usually i finish in the first 30-45 minutes and have to wakit. This year i'm taking my first AP test, and on thosr you don't have enough time!

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:42 am

Oh, the AP tests.

We've been reviewing for that for the past couple of weeks. I'll be taking one for Biology. To get the highest possible score (a 5), you only need to get 60% of the test right. And most people can't do that! Personally, I'm hoping for a 3 or a 4.

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:49 am

The biology test was awful. It destroyed everyone. Once we started the test you could hear the entire room gasping and going "oh my God..." My friend didn't know how to answer several of the free response questions and drew herself hanging herself in the margin.

Which sounds discouraging, but actually, the grading is very, very lax. I did awful and I still got a 5.

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 11:53 am

Our teacher explained how the essays are graded. You can get a lot of extra points by just putting down as much information about the topic as you can, and you only need 2/3 of the possible points to get a perfect score. We've been doing a lot of practice questions from old tests, and the multiple isn't that bad either.

here we have tests each month and they bore me so much

I'm not too worried, but I'll definitely be studying (blech C

Heh, fortunatelly I have some time to exams, but it's not big consolation.

Our euro teacher told us that out of the 9 possible points for essays, the average score is 2.86

The grading isn't lax, per se. It's just reasonable and based on how people actually do rather than an impossible scale

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:15 pm

Getting anything higher than a 5 on the APUSH exam is a freakin' miracle.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:19 pm

really? why is that

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:30 pm

It's a miracle because it's literally impossible; the scale only goes to 5, doesn't it?

Blue Braixen · Post by **Blue Braixen** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:33 pm

Because it's timed.

50 minutes for 80 multiple choice questions.
50 or 70 (I can't remember which) minutes for two free-response essays.
50 minutes for a document-based question essay.

Plus, unlike the World History AP exam of last year, you have to answer all of the questions.

shadowhaz · Post by **shadowhaz** » Mon Apr 25, 2011 1:48 pm

that reminds me of my mid term exams
