Melanie wins a Governor's scholarship for being in the top 5% of California's public high school standardized tests.

They put $1,000 in an account for her to use in "pursuing a degree", which basically means college books, room and board, tuition, etc. and visiting her boyfriend Pipath at U.C. Berkeley.

Great Job Melanie!

It is great to test well ! Now you never will have that "test fear" head trip working against you. Too cool.

i will be taking the calc and bio ap tests within the next 2 years, so the 2,500 will depend on those

i am over test fear!! between standardized tests, the millions i take regularly in school, and all the billions i have done for decathlon tests don't really phase me too much anymore
that is especially good because i often don't have that much time to study for all the stuff at once!
