@SmokeDetector tpu
 
@Undo Blacklisted user.
 
Two more answers on mSO for a bronze tag badge.
 
If this is right, why would anyone ever accept an AP test?
A 3 or above is supposedly passing. That looks pretty abysmal.
 
Seems like the 2011 test was pretty hard.
(if the test is hard, you can miss more questions)
 
12:40 AM
@hichris123 This is the '07 curve though.
 
19/40 MCs and 1 on all FRQs…
I can do that without taking the class.
Of course, legit colleges will only take a 4.
 
@bjb568 That might be a little difficult. But yeah
 
@Undo Oh same thing then. :P
 
Anyway, I will take the class so I'll have no problem getting a 5.
 
what the heck is this "AP"
 
12:42 AM
@hichris123 Although the '02 curve seems better, so you're prolly right
 
user259867
@bjb568 Mine accepts a 3... but it's good only for 1st semester of Crappy Statistics Sequence For Non-majors. And I never met a student who came with AP stats anyway.
 
@Braiam advanced placement
 
@Undo Yeah, those scores get you a low 2, so...
 
@hichris123 The min scores to get a 3 still don't look all that hard.
I was freaking out about it because HARD until I found that thing.
 
I calculated the worst I could have gotten on the Calc BC test was 87 / 108, a mid 5.
 
12:43 AM
Yeah, I'll probably get a mid-5 on the World exam.
 
umm.. anyone can take those test, right?
 
But I hope I got better. And the possibility of perfect score hasn't been ruled out yet.
 
@Braiam Anyone can give them money to try, yeah
 
@Braiam You have to go to a school that offers it, but yeah.
 
@bjb568 no...
 
12:44 AM
hey everyone
 
ok...
 
You can take the test without taking the class.
 
@bjb568 oh, already took it?
 
@hichris123 I mean go take the test there, not take the class there.
There's a specific time.
 
Yeah, you have to physically be there.
 
12:44 AM
@Undo Yeah.
 
@James say something interesting in the next 15 seconds or we kick you
 
@bjb568 Well, yeah, but that's all exams.
 
@bjb568 How nasty were the proctors?
 
Panda bears are interested in mating if they swap cages
 
@Undo fine
 
12:45 AM
The ones on the (AC|SA)T are getting nicer.
 
@James … ok
 
ok
 
k
 
I really hope we don't get bad essay questions.
 
@hichris123 for PSAT?
 
12:46 AM
what, its a fact from QI, so it's Quite Interesting
 
@Undo For the world exam.
We get 3 essays: a DBQ, a CCOT (changes & continuities over time), and a compare & contrast essay.
 
@hichris123 "Comment on the relative frequencies of countries of suspended users on Stack Overflow: <table>"
2
 
I can probably get a 50/70 on the MC, but not sure about the essays...
 
@hichris123 sounds boring
 
@hichris123 Seems like you could just memorize good formats for them and plug in the facts as necessary.
 
12:48 AM
Nah, it's actually kinda fun.
@Undo That's basically what you do, except knowing the facts is the problem. :P
 
Oh, not a writing test. RIiiight
 
Like here's one of the questions from 2011.
> Analyze similarities and differences in the rise of TWO of the following empires.
- A West African Sudanic empire (Mali OR Ghana OR Songhay)
- The Aztec Empire
- The Mongol Empire
 
bleh
 
@hichris123 ^ You need a modified paper-version of this
 
heh
 
12:52 AM
What years are you guys in at school? I can't take AP courses till Junior year :(
 
@michaelpri 9th
But we homeschool, so no one cares.
 
Oh, well here's an easy one:
Or not. :P
 
Oh, I just have to pile all of my AP course in two years
 
> Analyze the social and economic transformations that occured in the Atlantic world as a result of new contacts among Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas from 1492 to 1750.
@michaelpri We can take them anytime.
Freshman can only take a few, however.
 
@michaelpri 9th here too
@hichris123 why?
 
12:56 AM
I had two choices for high school, and for one school I could take AP World History in 9th (I'm in 8th now), but the school was just bad, so I didn't go
 
user259867
@hichris123 *occurred
 
@Yes Gah, I mistyped. I had to transcribe it from the PDF.
 
> Moderator Pro Tempore on Lifehacks.SE
heh
 
@bjb568 Well, you can take other classes... but then you need to take an entrance exam, talk to a counselor, etc.
 
@bjb568 That me?
 
12:58 AM
@michaelpri yea
@hichris123 that's not very hard
 
user259867
^ jealous kitten
 
You forgot to add "and Health.SE"
 
nah, lifehacks is more of a joke
 
Lifehacks is super fun ;)
 
@michaelpri Is this a choice between two public schools?
 
1:01 AM
@hichris123 No, two Catholic schools
 
ah, I see.
 
eww
 
@hichris123 I think I would faint.
 
Yeah, my parents made me go to a Catholic school just because; I also had a scholarship, but I still would've had to go to one
 
ewww
 
1:04 AM
I see @bjb568 is being encouraging.
:P
 
@bjb568 Are you homeschooled too?
 
I was, not anymore now.
In public highschool for the last year. 2y of homeschool before that.
 
@Undo that's an easy one: - changes in culture due to mass-migration between Africa & Americas, - introduction of new crops in Europe (Columbian Exchange), - loss of laborers in Africa (Europeans took the healthy, strong, young males)
 
My parents won't let me homeschooled :(
 
@hichris123 So this is world history. Okay
 
1:06 AM
@Undo ?
 
Well, have fun :)
 
user259867
@hichris123 It said "analyze" not "list"...
 
@hichris123 just my slow brain putting pieces together
 
ah.
@Yes Well, those are your main points, you back it up with some details you remember.
 
@Yes the verb used in the essay description doesn't matter. You just write stuff regardless.
 
user259867
1:11 AM
Oh well. At least in math you can't bs your way through an exam by writing stuff, piecing together random things you remember.
 
Still, some try.
… and get 4s
 
@Yes Usually for the essay topics, a ton of things contributed to <x>, so there's a lot of stuff you can write about.
 
huh?

Meta has its hidden rep counter which is used for badges that require rep, like Mortarboard.
 
1:15 AM
It's your SO-versary, @bjb.
 
oh
hoorahz
 
@bjb568 Happy SO-versary :)
 
@Yes IIRC Yearling is based on main site reputation, not the hidden meta one.
 
Really? That seems strange…
 
user259867
@hichris123 Yes, you're right. Plenty of users have Yearling without ever posting on meta.
 
very meh
 
I got mine too

Yearling is by far the most frequent badge on meta.

@bjb568 So, what made you log in to SO for the very first time two years ago?
 
How am I supposed to remember?
 
I do. It was a horrible question.
 
user259867
You probably saw some question and thought "argh! I have to log in and downvote that... and close... and delete... and then jump on its pieces!"
 
Sigh... Always Microsoft and problems. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. — bjb568 Oct 22 '13 at 19:54

@Doorknob Your horrible question, right?
 
1:22 AM
@Doorknob Mine was to ask a horrible question.
 
To clarify, yes, I was asking a horrible question.
 
Which I voted to close almost exactly a year later
 
With horrible code and horrible everything.

I actually wrote a half-decent first question. Showed I knew nothing about programming (integer overflow), but half-decent.

@michaelpri but yeah, that's the philosophy I'm using with her. I've tested her and so far it looks good.
 
@bjb568 ... you found her passwords?
