I'm aiming for hypsm and i just got my schedule for next school year. My school has the 4 blocks a day and an A/B day system. Anyone have thoughts or comments?

1st semester A: honors chem, ap phys 1 lab, ap calc bc, honors english
1st semester B: study hall, ap phys 1, ap world, ap stat
2nd semester A: honors chem, study hall, ap calc bc, honors english
2nd semester B: honors chem lab, ap phys 1, ap world, ap stat

if anyone has taken ap calc bc, stat, phys 1, or world, how were they?

I just picked up initio rehab today, and in the store, I thought it was great. However, now that I've had it on skin for the day, I'm starting to realize that it smells really similar to spicebomb extreme. Does anyone else feel this way? What are some noticeable differences between the two?

So I'm a rising sophomore in central PA, and a Duke prof has agreed to mentor me. I had this pretty unique idea with MXenes, and was planning to go to his lab to do it. However, he just got back to me and said I wouldn't be able to go into his lab, but he is still willing to work with me remotely. How am I supposed to do the project now? Is it ok if I ask them to run the project and send me the data?

ik that I have to go to a regional fair and get first in the entire competition to go straight to isef, but I think my project idea is good enough to place high in MATS. If I do well in my category but don't get grand champ, what happens next?

if anybody is wondering how ts is possible: i am a fresh man. my csp teacher forgot to teach us the course content and only did big idea 2 for the entire school year. I also played rocket league on my chromebook and brawl stars the entire class period every day. I only managed to finish 14 mcqs out of the 70 in 2 hours. For human geo, i started crying in the middle of the frqs because i didn't know what a soybean was, and i only answered one identify, and got it wrong. I also "forgot" to study for both exams. am i fried? is there still hope for both 5s?

I'm currently at the very end of my freshman year of hs, and my two dream schools are Stanford and MIT, and I want to go into electrical engineering or materials science. My class rigor and grades have been good, but i might get a B+ in math this year. My current Ecs include being a general member of math club and key club, and competing at states in DECA, but that's pretty much all I've done. I am a general member of an FRC team that competed at worlds (I contributed nothing), but I didn't go to the competition. Me and 4 other friends are trying to do the Conrad Challenge for the 2026-2027 season, and a professor at Duke has agreed to mentor me this summer, i want to do research and hopefully compete at isef. I know winning the conrad challenge and qualifying for isef is hard, but is there any advice i will find helpful for my sophomore year? is there anything i need to start/stop doing?
