how does ur school let you take physics c without calc
wintry knoll
idk how i end up with the highest grade in physics c
last semester
i talked with the physics teacher
told him i like to try
and he said cool
then said i cant take a calc class bc of my schedule but i am going to self study it
mint root
oh my schools hella strict with that stuff

my chem grade was too low so they didnāt let me take ap physics 1

oh precalc is a senior class at mt hs
i was the only junior in my precalc class last year
but i also learned it in a semesterš

i swear to god those AO's need to see that i have 98 in a calc based physics and believe me i am self studying calc
or im definitely fucked for every top20 i applied
but im applying to econ
not like engineering
mint root

wintry knoll
i self studied
bc my school doesn't have them
but got 5 on both
and im a tutor for those course
mint root
lots of ppl wanted to self study ap calc and stats bc those teacher sucked so the schools put a ban to it
they claim itās for mental health reasons but like we know what we can handle
wintry knoll
i kinda liked my school dont have that much resource
fits well under my profile
my biggest ec is probably starting a tutor org

at my school the ap gov teacher literally gives you the answers sometimes

and for ap stats, the mid terms was literally a group project lmao my whole side of the room helped each other '
and if you didn't finish your test/quiz on time, no worries! he'll give you as many days as you need to because he calls it a "learning experience" so everyone just goes home and looks up the answers
