Ok, this may sound really stupid but I'm a current sophomore going into junior year. I am planning on taking the SAT in August and going from there after practicing and studying throughout summer. However, a lot of my friends and a lot of people in the subreddit have taken it as a freshman and sophomore and I'm regretting my decision. I am able to take it this June if I sign up like right away but I haven't studied due to APs as well as other things so I don't know. I'm just scared that I wont have a good score in August and then stress throughout. Any advice?

The title is a bit misleading, basically I am asking at ICDC whether judges give scores and then adjust them based on roleplays that they see later or not. And if so, do they do it for both prelims and finalists or just finalists.

All the frqs were really easy but mcqs had some difficult questions for me. Anybody else feel that way?

Basically, I participated in HOSA this year but was unfortunately only able to get state finalist. Next year, I wont be able to go due to a conflict, so this was pretty much my last year to be able to put it in on college apps (IK that this shouldnt be a main factor but it is for me). I have now been given the opportunity to become part of team that made it to ILC. However, I did not assist this team in any way during state and am simply able to go to ILC. My question is whether I would be able to put down anything for college apps even if we dont win as I am deciding whether to spend that amount of money. I usually would go just for the experience but it is a lot of money ad I have been there in middle school. Thanks!

This year, as a sophomore I participated in act and made it to icdc but didn't get anything there. I know that act is a very hard event at ICDC due to Ontario so I am wondering whether I should switch to another finance event. I am willing to put in the work but don't want to get cooked like I did this year. I'm thinking bfs but I've heard that's just as hard or even harder so idk. I definitely want to do something in finance tho. Any advice helps. Thanks!
