Betas:
Betas are always a hot topic on the month boards and 1st tri. Betabase is a great website where you can look at the averages of betas by day or week and you can even calculate your doubling time. It's a great resource and we'd highly suggest you check it out! ***Betabase seems to have been having server problems lately, and while this isn't as good of a resource you can still calculate your doubling times and see a general range for beta levels here.***
