A class taken by a group of overachievers, aiming to wow colleges by taking a unique class that's supposed to teach them to do college research papers. Upon applying for the class, students often have no idea of what to expect, but are calmed by the idea that they soon will.

Yet, when others ask them what the class is all about they are known to recite the exact description published by Collegeboard word for word.
