course-selection

[mint thorn]

Alright I’m not going to debate this because we both don’t know this for sure

[quasi sparrow]

My schedule for next year can u guys rate

Honors algebra 2
Honors la 10
Spanish 4
Physics
Chem
A push

[fickle rivet]

physics and chem in same year why

[cinder gorge]

Don’t do Chen and phys I did that and it was very annoying because they are classes not normally taken together so literally all the tests overlap

I’d recommend taking an AP science rather than both

Of a regular

Looks better and is less if a hastle

[cinder gorge]

I have a question for all of you. What student would get into a better university/college completely based off of the stats here? Look closely to see the differences. The first student takes less advanced classes at first unlike Student 2, and Student 1 gets signifcantly better grades that Student 2.

[mint thorn]

Student 1, the courses are still hard enough that it’s impressive they would have done all of that

[grave surge]

just based off of the transcripts, student 1. the amount of ap's are the same, but student 1 has better grades in them. student 1's gpa and standardized test scores are better, as well, so that helps.

[cinder gorge]

Oh alright, tysm

[austere tulip]

Ok...

So

based on the stats

You CANNOT judge college acceptances by grade

They count your extracurriculars and everything

so...

If student one did only that

But student two was taking part in a few activities and doing good,

student two would be betetr

One more thing

Not all of these Aps will be considered important

Like Human Geo?

That's not really an AP course for seniors

An AB is useless to take before BC

But...

Just wondering

Is this your schedule?

[cinder gorge]

No, just a planned out one

[flint rock]

nerd

[buoyant ravine]

Wow.

[austere tulip]

Oh ok

So yes

In my opinion at least AB and Human Geo don't have a point

[cinder gorge]

Oh k

[late jetty]

They both meet the academic standard, It would be up to essay and extracurricular

[cinder gorge]

Alright

[late jetty]

Their extracurricular would have to demonstrate vision and impact on the school they were at, applying to, and society as a whole.

Their essay must reveal something about themselves and introduce a wow factor such as a challenge overcame with maturity and traits the school value

The student who hits that on the dot, is accepted

[cinder gorge]

Oh ok, thanks

[cinder gorge]

I cant find any courses related to cloud in MIT or Ivy League

How do i become a cloud architect?

It’s either computer engineering or computer science, idrk the difference

[mint thorn]

Like….the cloud?

As in software stuff?

That’s coding and typically software engineering

[deep sapphire]

How do I choose what to do?

[tight wedge]

well what do you really like?

[faint spade]

I’m a sophomore and that’s my plan for high school

how can I change it to be more competitive

[cinder gorge]

Would i pick computer science or computer engineering for that?

[mint thorn]

Computer science

[wise forge]

take Calc 3 and linear algebra

[faint spade]

is this available at high school?

btw my preferred major is eecs (compsci)

[austere tulip]

I think it's very competitive

Your courseload is fine

Now I would just join clubs

so do you have any math, science, or computer science clubs in school?

also

are you engineering classes PLTW?

[faint spade]

yea it’s pltw

and I’m in the first robotics club as lead, science Olympiad club, national history day competition as secretary and member of nhs

[untold latch]

Y’all know any courses to higher ur chance getting into a Ivy League

[faint spade]

what other clubs should I join

[faint spade]

how should I take that?

becuz I don’t think that’s offered at hs

[wise forge]

at local community college

[faint spade]

ohhh ok

[wise forge]

Yeah

[faint spade]

what yr should I take that

[wise forge]

Talk to your counselor about it, it would be your senior year

[faint spade]

ok

any recommendations for clubs?

[wise forge]

i wouldn’t have any sadly

[faint spade]

haha ok

[echo current]

Does anyone know what the best courses to take in high school to set me for a career in being an airliner pilot ?

[cinder gorge]

And what are the extracurricular’s of student 1 and 2

[wise forge]

realistically you could do fine with baseline classes as long as you get As and Bs

Take APs or concurrently enroll to get college credit out of the way

you technically don’t have to go to college

[echo current]

thanks!

[cobalt spruce]

What are some easy majors that pay well in college? Because I was taking computer science but I couldn’t hang

So now I’m thinking of switching majors

[cinder gorge]

So you are quitting

[cobalt spruce]

Yes

Not because I want to

[cinder gorge]

What was difficult about it

[cobalt spruce]

It wasn’t difficult it was that the instructor was bad at teaching

He would never respond to any of the emails I would send him#

[cinder gorge]

Do you guys have a option to switch teachers

[cobalt spruce]

Yeah, but he’s the only instructor that teaches that class which I need

[cinder gorge]

Oh

[cobalt spruce]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

What is your current grade in the class

[cobalt spruce]

He hasn’t graded any of the assignments yet

[cinder gorge]

Don’t quit just yet

Let the grades come in

And then decide if you want to quit or not

[cobalt spruce]

I will wait for the grades to come in, but just in case what majors are relatively easy and pay well after college

[cinder gorge]

Why does money matter though

[cobalt spruce]

Because it’s money you can’t do nothing if you don’t have money@

[cinder gorge]

Yeah, but chasing money won’t make you happy

[cobalt spruce]

But if you have money, you can buy anything to make you happy

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but if you work a job that pays well and hate it

Think about it

It’s like torture

Also if you want to get rich you can’t give up easily

[cobalt spruce]

Yea but what can i do

[cinder gorge]

Business

That industry can make you extremely rich

Although I should say it requires you to take a lot of stress and effort

And a lot of failures

@cobalt spruce

[cobalt spruce]

Damn

[cinder gorge]

?

[cinder gorge]

Dude life isn’t easy no career will make you wealthy without hard work

[cobalt spruce]

I know

[faint spade]

what college r u in

[hard geode]

should I pick chemistry biology or physics?

[cinder gorge]

Can you handle a lot of work

[grave surge]

depends. what grade are you in?

[cinder gorge]

Student 1 sweeps

[cinder gorge]

Lets assume they both have the same Extra-Curriculars

[cinder gorge]

I do not like the examples

The examples r pretty stupid

[cinder gorge]

Yes

Student 1 has been consistent from the start

Student 2 shows hella improvement

And both their GPAs r good

Really comes down to their essay

And ECs

Ye but I was just saying based off of just what I showed

The experiment is not good @cinder gorge

[cinder gorge]

Alr

You need a better experiment

[cinder gorge]

Okay....

Like this one will example will be hard

So we have two students, Student 1 is Jared and Student 2 is James

Jared High School GPA goes the following
9th grade - 4.0
10th grade - 4.0
11th grade - 3.85
12th grade - 4.0
Cumulative GPA - 3.96
He has taken 3 AP Classes
He has placed in 2nd in the International Chemistry Olympiad , He has won the Science Fair in his state, He has competed in ski, and is on the leadership team

James High School GPA goes the following
9th grade - 4.0
10th grade - 4.0
11th grade - 3.9
12th grade - 4.0
Cumulative GPA - 3.98
Has taken 8 AP Classes
He is on the leadership team, he is a basketball player, he is chess champion, he has interned at Bank of America

Who is the better candidate

@cinder gorge @cinder gorge

Ur saying this is a better example right?

Or just saying this is a hard example to know from just the context?

[cinder gorge]

Student 2 sweeps. BOM internship is impossible to get. More APs + higher GPA. On top be is a chess “champion” I’m gonna assume that’s top 5-ish in his state.

[cinder gorge]

Yeah it is hard too

[cinder gorge]

He is like a high school intern at BOM

Bank of America offers internships for high schoolers

[cinder gorge]

Still hella selective

Ik

[cinder gorge]

Well this is a very hard decision

Both the students are well qualified

Have a lot of extracurricular’s

Student 1 has the best chance getting into a selective college

@cinder gorge

A lot of people will say student 2 but is doesn’t look that appealing compared to student 1

From what I’m seeing

Student 2 has better grades and more APs

(Basically the same tho lol)

But student 2 and student 1 have insane ECs but if I were a college recruiter I’d rather someone with actual working experience

[cinder gorge]

That’s is what you think

Ye ig but u asked for my opinion

But Ivy Leagues and Selective colleges prefer candidate 1 because first of all he is focusing on one skill and has done really good things in that field

[cinder gorge]

Yeah Ik

u don’t know tbh

These college people r insane

Who knows what goes in their head

[cinder gorge]

?

Both applicants r really good

But student 2 has much more rigor

[cinder gorge]

fr

[undone grove]

Do you think I should do Advanced Pre-Calculus or Dual-Credit Pre-Calculus?

One of my teachers said that you should do AP over DC classes, but this is just an advanced class.

[cinder gorge]

Dual Credit Pre Calculus

Is the better choice

[cinder gorge]

You should

If they offer AP Calculus AB take it

[fickle rivet]

ap precalc seems interesting but really hard because it’s an ap but a regular class at the same time

also dual credit precalc is just weird

I feel like ap pre calc is probably more impressive @undone grove

[cinder gorge]

He said advanced pre calc

Not advanced placement pre calc which doesn’t even exist

[fickle rivet]

nvm

it will exist soon though

[fickle rivet]

he’s probably referring to ap

it’s new for 2023-2024 so next year

[cinder gorge]

I do not think so by his message

[fickle rivet]

nvm

[severe meadow]

I thought selective colleges/unis also select students who can pay them back? Does this include scholarships?

[cinder gorge]

Are you talking about the ivys

[severe meadow]

Yeah. I read it somewhere that if they think this student can help pay them back, they'll select them. It's not my opinion, I just read it from somewhere else.

[cinder gorge]

I don’t think that is how it works

[severe meadow]

In scholarships yes, that is if you write a letter why you should get one. It's why I asked if what you were talking about are those students applying for scholarships as well. I think I read yours wrong. Again, it's not my opinion. I've read from multiple resources that unis are selective, sometimes based on your academic level background, but also if you can be a potential person to help pay them back. But maybe they're also wrong. I don't know

[vivid imp]

I want to take an agriculture course for my college but as of now, I'm having a hard time to understand chemistry (Mostly science stuff) but I want to really take agriculture. Actually idk what to do...

[undone grove]

Wait. AP Pre-Calc is going to be a thing?

[cinder gorge]

No

He’s lying

[fickle rivet]

It’s being added next year but it may take a while for schools to place it in their courses

https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-precalculus

[cinder gorge]

Ok I thought it was a scam

But it isn’t

I thought you were lying

@fickle rivet also AP African American History is coming too

[fickle rivet]

lol

I think that one needs more experimentation cuz the student body is going to be pretty low

unless it counts as like a requirement somewhere

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

Like not many students will take it

[mint thorn]

Yeah that’s a component of the admissions selection

[cinder gorge]

No way 💀

Ig I’m just gonna take the test next year

[cinder gorge]

Just take AP Calc AB or BC

Aren’t they better than AP Pre calc?

I’m taking the test only

I might get some college credit

[cinder gorge]

Oh but don’t they have to offer that specific AP class to administer the test?

I’ll drive an hour to somewhere that does lmao

[fickle rivet]

lmao

[cinder gorge]

lmao

[compact furnace]

my dads forcing me to take all computer science classes throughout highschool including ap computer science

i literally have no say in it

so how beneficial is it

im planning on going into corporate law

[remote tundra]

It sucks that he's forcing you to take CS classes against your will, but even if you're going into corporate law, it won't hurt. Computer Science is widely applicable and is always nice to know.

[severe meadow]

Do all but make sure you have spare subject slots to do courses that you really enjoy. 💗

[untold latch]

Y’all

Is ap chemistry

Rlly hard?

[untold latch]

Uhhh

More choices ig

[hollow finch]

I’ve heard it’s the worst class ever

I didn’t take it but I did the summer prep course and that was bad enough

[cinder gorge]

Honestly gets a bad rep it isnt that bad

(Im doing it rn so maybe i didnt get to the hard stuff but still)

[tight wedge]

hi so currently my second semester schedule is this:

1. english 10
2. public speaking / ap world history
3. creative writing honors / choir
4. chemistry i honors
   and im gonna change it to
5. english 10 honors
6. choir/ap world history
7. chemistry i honors
8. algebra ii
   does the second one look better or should i keep the first?

[fickle rivet]

you have multiple regular chems?

[tight wedge]

my school has one for every period i meant like switching chem from 4th to 3rd

[fickle rivet]

it says chemistry i honors

one at the end

[tight wedge]

yea cause its fourth and third period we also have chem ii if thats what you mean

[fickle rivet]

confusing

second one looks better

[distant holly]

Is it better taking ap lang or ap lit junior year?

I am also taking 3 other ap classes

Ap stats

Ap push?

If it’s worth it

And ap physics 1 & 2

[cinder gorge]

I would never take lang or lit (personally because I’m crap at language arts)

Stats is very easy more like a writing class than a math class

Ap US History is pretty hard but doeable

Physics 1 is free as hell

Physics 2 is too much info to learn in a year so the scores come shit for people

[cloud cedar]

Probably AP lang first because it’ll help you when writing essays for AP lit and it is commonly taken before

[fickle rivet]

^

[fickle rivet]

lmao

better than physics 1 though

[cinder gorge]

Lol

[faint spade]

Physics 1 is not free

I’m struggling like hell

[cinder gorge]

My school just has a hella hard regular physics so physics 1 is pretty easy

[faint spade]

oh lmaoo

i took ap phys without normal

that prob made it hard

but ap physics makes math feel so much easier for sum reason

[fickle rivet]

same

they made the physics c teacher also the regular physics teacher at mine

[buoyant ravine]

so what is a good gpa if you want to get into like

princeton or smthn

i dont want to go to princeton but what is a good gpa

weighted i mean

[fickle rivet]

anything above 3.8

depends on course load

like 8 ap classes then probably 3.5

unweighted

[cinder gorge]

Lmao same lol

[cinder gorge]

I’ve been told I have no chance at any t20 CS with my 3.85 😭 but people get in with worse scores all the time

[buoyant ravine]

i meant weighted

[fickle rivet]

weighted should be 4.0 +

idk the exact decimal range but just 4.0+

[buoyant ravine]

well

yeah

its really not possible to get below a 4.0 weighted

just need a D and a A or a C and a B

so 69.5 and a 79.5 and you still have a 4.0

[cinder gorge]

For IVY

I’d recommend

I’d probably recommend a 4.1+ (I’m not an AO I’m going off the people ik that went to IVYs)

[buoyant ravine]

oh ok

then i should be fine

im targeting 4.6

[cinder gorge]

That’s kinda insane

How many APs?

[muted jacinth]

what courses do u ppl recommend in grade 10

[buoyant ravine]

10 or 11

[cinder gorge]

Whatever you can manage

[wise forge]

depends what are offered

[tulip grove]

how stressful is chemistry? I want to take it next year (11th) but people say it’s torture

[faint spade]

don’t do it unless ur going into Chem or related major

It’s extremely hard

[tulip grove]

got it, thank you

[fickle rivet]

if it’s a required course then you have to take it

unless ur referring to like ap chem or something

[stone plank]

What type of science should I take next year for 10th grade?

Im taking biology 1 this year

What should I take next year

[naive kestrel]

Hello! I'm an 8th grade student planning out my high school career (I'm 14 please don't smite me gohar mods), and I just want to ask if I should take Precalc BC or Algebra III before taking AP Calc BC?

[slim sundial]

My school offers both AP and IB courses, with the option of taking a FULL IB courses for the IB diploma OR individual IB and AP classes. What would be the best option when applying to competitive US universities like ivy leagues? (Definitive answer please)

[slim sundial]

I would suggest Precalc BC as it is more specified for AP calc bc and would better prepare you

[austere tulip]

IB diplomas are beter

better*

because

they provide you with an actual rigorous curriculum with college level writing

and relations

[cinder gorge]

There is absolutely no difference

To clear things up

If you take AP or IB colleges will not prefer one over the other

[cinder gorge]

Neither the AP or IB is better than each other

[hoary pawn]

should i do japanese 3h or finance?

[cinder gorge]

Which one do you prefer

[hoary pawn]

they're both classes i wanna take but which one would be more useful

[cinder gorge]

Honestly Finance is a more beneficial class

[hoary pawn]

ah that makes sense

[sullen saffron]

how do I become un ibed

[dark vortex]

💀

u take full or partial?

[sullen saffron]

myp

[worthy flare]

I take earth science now, should I take bio and chem honors together in 10th grade? Or just bio honors?

[austere tulip]

Language is very goodd

take language

japanese 3h

[austere tulip]

IB is significantly better, because while AP is individual courses, IB is an entire diploma program and is significantly more rigorous. If you want an ACTUAL college program experience, do IB, but do AP if you just want credit.

And I'm not bias because I'm myself doing the AP program

[unborn cloak]

Is CS or IT better for college?

[hollow finch]

Depends, do you want to be a doctor?

Or anything stem related?

[stone plank]

Guys what science course should I take 10th grade

I’m taking biology 1 currently in 9th grade

But what science course 10th

[worthy flare]

I want to major in physics and astronomy

[hollow finch]

Ok I would only do one of bio or Chem

Junior year do ap physics if your school allows it

[cinder gorge]

Bro I was taking to him

And I doubt he will use Japanese unless he is going to visit Japan

[cinder gorge]

Like I said dude no one is better than the other one

You can’t make that false claim

[cinder gorge]

Or live there

[delicate hinge]

hey can someone pls tell me the difference between computer systems engineering and computer engineering?

[austere tulip]

It's not the language that matters. it's the fact that he takes a language and accomplishes it that matters

[austere tulip]

I think the main difference is that while a computer systems engineer maintains and tests and records computers using math analysis, a computer engineer actually makes it?

[austere tulip]

It's not a false claim

It is way harder than Ap

and a college level program

and like I said

I'm not ever going to deal with the IB program

so I can't have bias

[cinder gorge]

Dude honestly just stop talking

Clearly you do not know what you are talking about

You are spewing nonsense

[cinder gorge]

Dude what? What is the point of taking a language course and never using it

[quasi ingot]

Take chem and physics by 11th grade

[delicate hinge]

ah okay thank you

[terse zinc]

guys what's environmental science ap about

[fickle rivet]

environmental science.

energy resources, the atmosphere, the ocean, pollution, bio diversity, ecosystems etc

[austere tulip]

Ok, so now we are going to go to ad hominem

I love how you say I am spewing nonsense but you utilize logical fallacies

whoever originally asked this question...

If you want the experience of a rigorous, REAL college program, take the IB diploma program(not individual courses), given that your high school offers it

But

If you want invidual difficult courses and higher chances of credit, AP is the way to go

In my opinion, IB is better because it is the more difficult and college-like program, where writing is more prominent, where in AP there is writing, but in many cases other than English or Capstone it is not expected to be of that much quality

And another thing....

IB is more oriented to a curriculum, while AP is more oriented to preparing you for the end of the year exam.

[frosty bloom]

This is my plan

[cinder gorge]

Yeah because you are

Most sources agree that neither IB or AP classes are better than each other, they are both good classes

[hollow finch]

Do AP Psychology junior year instead of that other thing unless you’re passionate about photography or something

[hollow finch]

All I’ll say is that it seems like I’m IB classes you actually learn stuff

AP classes are literally just learn the material and take the exam

[frosty bloom]

I think that’s what I’ll do

[hollow finch]

Do you have an idea of what you want to major in

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but you agree with me that they do not effect your chances at colleges

If you take one over the other

[hollow finch]

Only if your school offers both

If your school only offers AP they can’t say “hmmm no IB classes” and reject you

And Vice versa

[frosty bloom]

Psychology, law, or culinary

[cinder gorge]

Also like AP and IB courses are not better than each other

Can we also agree with that

Because they both are rigorous courses

[hollow finch]

That’s all dependent on a number of factor like teacher, subject, curriculum, student, etc.

There is no definitive answer

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but we are talking generally

[hollow finch]

There’s too many factors to determine a general answer

It’s better to take IB courses if your school offers it

That’s a whole college level program that emphasizes actual writing and critical thinking. AP is just test prep for a college level exam

[hollow finch]

Yeah do AP Psychology junior year then

Focus on your humanities classes

[frosty bloom]

Okay

[frosty bloom]

IB and AP both add 1 point to your GPA, so, they should generally be equally as hard

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[frosty bloom]

They would have different topics and curriculums, but they shouldn’t be harder than one another

[hollow finch]

No one is in general harder than the other

It’s all dependent on the subject

[hollow finch]

Maybe consider doing some easier STEM courses cause those don’t matter as much for you

Like maybe regular physics instead of AP 1

Up to you though

[frosty bloom]

We only have physical science and AP physics 1, and the teacher is a coach of mine and would be a very good college rec

[austere tulip]

Please don't use any logical fallacies, and especially not ad hominem

[austere tulip]

They add 1 point to your GPA because they are both college level

But college level doesn't make them equally as hard

Think about this

A college like Harvard would be WAY harder than a community college

Both are college level

And another thing

While AP is individual courses

IB is an entire diploma program

and IB is more writing oriented, which makes it more difficult and college level, whereas in AP, there's three history courses where you write(And that in my experience is based on HOW much you write) and 4 ELA courses where of course you have to write(So only a total of 7 courses)

I said all of this before, but @cinder gorge simply just ignored this and decided to continue to attack me, not my argument.

And you would see

that in college

Essay writing is common for every course

you do,,

which IB accomplishes

Not to mention IB is international while AP is national

[cinder gorge]

@austere tulip tell me how do you know this stuff

[sleek quest]

hey

does anyone know which ap classes are like way easier than others and its just an easy A to my gpa and transcript?

[cinder gorge]

AP Stats, AP world geography, AP economics, AP Computer Science Principles

[sleek quest]

uhm my school doesn't offer AP comp sci principles

i mean they have AP comp sci and i realised Oh shit i can learn all that in a month and take that class lol

since i already know how to code in python

[cinder gorge]

AP Psychology

[sleek quest]

they don't have that either

[cinder gorge]

What AP’s do they have

[sleek quest]

let me get a list right quick

[cinder gorge]

Ok

[sleek quest]

It's a lot since its a big school

AP lang, AP lit, Ap calc ab, ap calc bc, ap statistics, Ap bio, ap environmental science, Ap chem, Ap physics, AP us history, Ap world history, AP us government, ap european history, AP spanish language, Ap art history, ap studio art drawing, ap studio art 2d design, ap music theory, Ap computer science A

thats all of them

[cinder gorge]

I guess you can do AP environmental science

[sleek quest]

i already plan to take Ap calc ab and ap calc bc, and ap stat, and ap art history

you can already tell by the amount of times i used and in that sentence that i am not going into ap lang or ap lit

[cinder gorge]

Oh ok

[hollow finch]

If you’re a math person AP Calc AB is very easy

[sleek quest]

i am

[hollow finch]

AP Env Science

AB will be very easy then

[sleek quest]

i got a. 96 in pre-cal and i'm taking pre-cal in 10th grade 💀

so i can take ab and bc lol

[hollow finch]

AB is very easy BC is a little harder but still not that bad

[hollow finch]

Same Lmao

[sleek quest]

nice

id ask what school you go to since theres a high chance we go to the same school but thats private info so i'm not gonna ask lol

[hollow finch]

I’ll just say I’m in Southern California

[sleek quest]

oh

i'm in arkansas

[hollow finch]

Does your school allow you to go straight to BC

Or do they make you do AB

[hollow finch]

AP Lang is easy too

Pretty much everything is completion

[sleek quest]

well for juniors who are usually in pre-cal, they get to decide to go to ab or bc and since i'm the first class of my school to take pre-cal in 10th grade theres no precedent for it yet so we don't know

[hollow finch]

Oh

I’d suggest trying to just go straight to BC

[sleek quest]

ok but hear me out, If i take ab in 11th and bc in 12 thats 2 free ap classes that boost my gpa instead of one

[hollow finch]

That is true but there’s also AP stats

Which is very easy

It’s up to you though

I just have a lot of friends in AB and it seems like a waste of time

[sleek quest]

i plan to take that in 12th grade as well lol

[hollow finch]

Bet Lmao go for it

[cinder gorge]

@hollow finch what grade are you in

[hollow finch]

11th

[cinder gorge]

Okay

[unreal hawk]

Could I get some help with courses I'm heading into 9th grade

[cinder gorge]

So my advice is do not start taking AP courses yet

Wait until you are a sophomore

Take as many honors courses as you can

[unreal hawk]

Well in 9th for me there is only one and I'm not taking it because it's a lot of work I'm not ready for

[cinder gorge]

Okay what is the class

AP wise

[unreal hawk]

AP human geography

[cinder gorge]

Oh that class

Yeah I would say skip until Sophomore year

Also @unreal hawk are you trying to apply for top colleges as well?

[unreal hawk]

I don't really know because I'm only in 8th I have not really thought about that far in my school years

[cinder gorge]

Ok but if you want to go to a top college remember your extracurricular’s matter a lot

I would say your extracurricular’s matter more than the AP’s you take tbh

[unreal hawk]

Well also you need to take 2 years of a language so Spanish or something else to even get into collages here

[cinder gorge]

Yeah also if you want to get into a top college you need 4 years of language

[unreal hawk]

I'm basically having trouble chosing my electives

[cinder gorge]

What are the elective choices

[unreal hawk]

Could I DM you instead because it's a lot of classes

[cinder gorge]

Ok sure

[severe meadow]

So a friend of mine wants to be an architecture. Does she need to AP classes in math or not? Do you guys have subject recommendations she could also take?

[cinder gorge]

Yes AP Calculus AB should be fine

I don’t think BC is necessary for architecture

[fickle rivet]

why are you a helper in everything lol

[cinder gorge]

Because she can

Lol

[hollow finch]

That’s a really easy class

I highly recommend

[hollow finch]

AB and BC

Essential

[hollow finch]

Do computer science if you can

[undone grove]

Should I do Spanish Four, which is an honors class? I am currently a Sophomore in Spanish Three, and a lot of kids say that you should not do Spanish Four. I think it would be worth it for Spanish Four so I can stay in practice.

[cinder gorge]

Do Spanish 4

Don’t listen to them

[undone grove]

Okay.

[fickle rivet]

the higher u go the harder it is

[austere tulip]

I would recommend taking BC if you can do math. Don't need AB. Instead, you could take Calc III or Stats

[austere tulip]

I know this stuff because my cousin is in the IB program and I am in the AP program

[austere tulip]

I would say you should definitely take human geo. As I've heard, yes there will be many quizzes but it's not that difficult, as long as you can use flashcards to learn vocab. Always start early to do AP classes, because Human geo can prepare you for later classes that are harder. And also, by getting rid of one AP in your easier freshman year, you can take more APs later.

[austere tulip]

Don't only think about your GPA boost

Think about your knowledge

Idk if it's in your school, but in our school, we have Calc III which we can take after BC. It is multivariable calc and it's honors. Also, you have a chance of getting dual credit cuz it is college level. My advice is, take AP courses, but don't take redundant or "useless" AP courses just for the GPA boost. Think bigger picture.

[cinder gorge]

Dude it’s unnecessary

For freshman’s

Like he can do it sophomore year

I don’t think AP courses should be taken for freshman’s

And also he said he isn’t going to take AP courses

yet

[frosty bloom]

For us, we have to have an extra science class for college

[frosty bloom]

Our school will be adding it to the course catalog in a few years

[robust musk]

I find it interesting that so many schools let you go straight to Calc BC. At mine, the teacher covers all AB content in about a quarter as more of a review so it’s basically impossible to take BC first unless you study calc over the summer

[austere tulip]

It's not unnecessary. It is an introductory AP courses. I mean...think about it. It would prepare you better if you took a really easy AP course just to get used to it. And yeah, he said he isn't, that's why I'm recommending him to do it. It's always better to start early if you can handle. And Ap courses can be taken for freshman.

[cinder gorge]

I think that he should explore his freshman year and not take any AP courses because he doesn’t need it yet

[hollow finch]

Do it for your Seal of Biliteracy

[hollow finch]

I’m in AP Spanish 4 right now and tbh it’s way easier than Spanish 3

[hollow finch]

It’s barely an AP course

It’s so easy

Every freshman should do AP Human Geo it’s a great intro to college level work while being a very straightforward class

There’s a reason it’s for 9th graders it’s not supposed to be hard

[hollow finch]

I coulda used this earlier. I’m an aspiring doctor taking Apush like wtf am I doing ☠️

[fickle rivet]

me too

[undone grove]

My school's requirement for the Seal of Biliteracy is this:

[hollow finch]

Usually it’s just an A or B in Spanish 4 and a passing grade on the English SBAC

That’s the same for my school

[cinder gorge]

Dude quick question what is your dream college for medical school

[hollow finch]

UChicago

Stanford

John Hopkins

I don’t really have one

[cinder gorge]

Damn

Those med schools have like 3% acceptances

[hollow finch]

Mhm

[cinder gorge]

?

[hollow finch]

That just means yep

[cinder gorge]

Oh ok

[junior pewter]

what would i need to take in hs for mechanical engineering

[heavy carbon]

physics ig

[junior pewter]

do you know what type of math is required too

[sleek quest]

My school doesn't offer calc 3, if they did i would fucking take it LMAO

[hoary pawn]

any sort of calculus i assume

[hollow finch]

Physics and Calculus

[worthy flare]

What classes should I take in Highschool if I want to major in astronomy and physics

[hollow finch]

Well…physics

[trim grail]

Okay I specifically need a british person to help me with this. I havw to start picking my sixth form subjects, i know i wanna do psychology at uni but im not sure what to pick for my a-levels, i was thinking english, psychology and chemistry but im not sure

[undone grove]

Do you think taking AP Chemistry and AP Biology in the same year is a good idea? My friend is doing it, and I kind of want to do it. However, I do not want to stress myself out by doing it.

[austere tulip]

Well...

Matters

What are you thinking of doing in the long run?

[undone grove]

So far, I am thinking something in technology or pharmacy.

[austere tulip]

Ok,

So I would recomend taking both

But make sure you can handle it

[undone grove]

Okay.

[austere tulip]

What courses are you taking this year?

[undone grove]

Honors English 10
AP World
Honors Chemistry
Honors Algebra II
Choir
Spanish III
Gym (Requirement)
Career Pathways (Requirement)

[austere tulip]

Ok

And are you doing fine?

Like workload wise

[undone grove]

Yes.

[austere tulip]

Ok

Then

yes

Go for it

[undone grove]

There might be a few days that I have a lot of work, but it is manageable.

Here are the courses I want to do next year:

AP Lang
Dual Credit Pre-Calc (Unless they offer AP Pre-Calc next year)
AP Bio
AP Chem
AP Gov
Choir
Spanish IV (Honors)

[cinder gorge]

congrats on becoming a mod @austere tulip

i would've congratulated you earlier but you're on offline mode so it's hard to know when you're actually here

@austere tulip congrats man

[hollow finch]

Depends AP Chem is a nightmare but AP Bio is much more dependent on the school

So if you have a good teacher then go for it

Are you stronger in STEM or Humanities?

[undone grove]

I am not sure.

[cinder gorge]

AP chem is good

You just need to know what you are doing

[hollow finch]

It again just depends on the teacher

The teacher at my school is so bad the other teachers know

[undone grove]

I am in Honors Chemistry, and my teacher also teaches AP Chem.

And she is a good teacher.

Not sure about AP Bio though.

[hollow finch]

Try asking around

[undone grove]

Okay.

[cinder gorge]

I have to agree

[hollow finch]

Do you want to major in something STEM related?

[cinder gorge]

If the teacher is trash then that is a bad sign

[undone grove]

Either something with computers or pharmacy.

[hollow finch]

Ok

Try to take a computer science course if your school offers it

[hoary pawn]

should i take both stats and ap calc at the same time next year?

would a stats class be important

[hollow finch]

Stats is always good to know

AP Calc is good too for STEM majors

[cinder gorge]

Also one of the easiest AP courses

[cinder gorge]

well it depends for what

I personally find myself to be using statistics way more often than any other math like algebra and calculus in my daily life

[hollow finch]

Yeah I’ve heard it’s not even much math Lmao

[cinder gorge]

Statistics is also fun

but here's the thing

[hollow finch]

Calculus is fun too

[cinder gorge]

calc will be more useful if ur going into a stem field or something that required somewhat advanced math

if u think u can handle taking both then sure why not

[cinder gorge]

Ikr

[hoary pawn]

how useful would stats be if i were to go into a comp science field?

mainly game development stuff

[cinder gorge]

i honestly don't know much about what courses and things computer scientists use

try asking in #majors

[austere tulip]

Thanks!

[austere tulip]

Thanks!

[austere tulip]

This is fine for Junior Year

[hoary pawn]

on second thought i'll just replace stats with finance since i probably really need it

i suck with money

[hoary pawn]

so this is what i will submit to my counselor:
AP Physics 1
Economics H / US Gov
CSU ERWC (English 12CP)
Japanese 3H
AP Calculus AB
Financial Algebra

after careful consideration by me (thinking about every possible alternate future)

[cinder gorge]

👍

[hollow finch]

Nice

[ionic trench]

What do you guys think of my course selection so far? I’m in the middle of my sophmore year at the moment and could use some advice

Instead of it being called math int 3 honors, my school just puts a plus in the front

[hoary pawn]

ah i have int math 3

going from math 3 to calc bc seems a bit much

good luck tho

[ionic trench]

I heard that calc ab doesn’t offer as much units for college and only goes through half of a college course of calculus, but bc goes the through much more content and yields a greater outcomes for colleges units

But i haven’t fact-checked that so I could be wrong

[cinder gorge]

im in 9th grade rn and im wondering what classes should i take if i want to have the highest chances of getting into a good med school

ik a lot of science like ap bio and ap chem but idk what i should do for 10th grade

also ap calc or ap stat?

[lone shore]

Guys, I am planning to pursue economics for my higher studies and I am really interested in it...
Do you have suggestions about what course should I take. (India for ug)

[plucky hemlock]

Which grade u in?

[lone shore]

I have completed ib nov 2022

[plucky hemlock]

myp?

or the ibdp

[lone shore]

Ibdp

[plucky hemlock]

ooh interesting

So you wanna take finance or marketin?

there's many options in india for a ug
theres a bba/bcom i think

[lone shore]

Under economics we have finance and marketing? 🤔

[plucky hemlock]

oh

[lone shore]

I thought it is only for bm...

[plucky hemlock]

You do have economics in entrepreneurship courses

or even in intl business

[lone shore]

I want to study pure economics

I mean like full

[plucky hemlock]

ahh

[lone shore]

No mixture

[plucky hemlock]

ahh

try doing a ba in economics

or a be (bachelors in economics)

[lone shore]

What's the difference between ba and be?

[plucky hemlock]

1. people dont take an "Arts" degree too seriously in india (shouldn't affect u if ur gonna go outta the country after this, and ur uni/college is good)
2. Depends on the college/uni. Go through their syllabus before commiting

Also @lone shore how was the IB? Im plannin on taking it from next year

[lone shore]

The most painful course

But help you build to your best

[plucky hemlock]

Im contemplating between state and ib

[lone shore]

Take ib

[plucky hemlock]

ahh

mind if i dm u?

[lone shore]

Yea sure

[plucky hemlock]

thanks :)

[lone shore]

Any more suggestions you all?

[half ferry]

I’m currently a freshman in Spanish 1, but I’m not sure if I should stop at AP Spanish 4, or AP Spanish 5. I know it might be a little early but I could use some suggestions, thanks!

[hollow finch]

You can only go up to 4 unless you do one over the summer

I suggest stopping at 4 unless you want to do something like international affairs that requires speaking another language

[half ferry]

Ok thanks! One more question- would you do one over the summer for AP Spanish 4 in Junior year? I’ve been thinking about that so I have an extra slot for another class.

[hollow finch]

That would be a good idea

[fallen light]

This is true

Calc AB stretches a quarter of college calculus over an entire year

its kinda sad

[hollow finch]

Every stem kid should be doing BC

AB is a waste of everything

[hoary pawn]

hm

ab is a prerequisite here tho

for bc

not much i can do about it

[keen nimbus]

My school only offers ab

[hollow finch]

Then there’s nothing you can do and I’m truly sorry about that

[hoary pawn]

well taking ab in high school is better than nothing

i suppose

[fallen light]

@hoary pawn you can self study calc BC while taking calc AB and take both tests at the end of the year. Or you can enroll at a college and take real calculus courses. Does your high-school offer dual-credit? There are more options than you think!

[hoary pawn]

hm

i don't think my school lets you take the exam if you don't have the course

i might try dual enrollment

idk i'll see later

[fallen light]

you dont take the exam through your school, take it through college board

[hoary pawn]

ah

perhaps i'll see

[cinder gorge]

is the capstone certification for college worth it? (ap research & ap seminar)

[hollow finch]

Lol no

Don’t waste ur time with those

[cinder gorge]

Fr

[normal ember]

Any recommendations for my courses? I can provide info about what my school offers by request (currently a freshman)

Also I have to find out what a lot of my school's tech electives are because I have absolutely no clue the difference between some of them or the main idea of some of them

But this is what I have for now

[wise forge]

hard classes

Harvard ready

[normal ember]

My goal is MIT

[wise forge]

Mit ready

[normal ember]

Thank you

[wise forge]

just don't forget about volunteering, making a good impression on teachers and staff, and extracurriculars

[normal ember]

I appreciate the encouragement, hard to come by

[wise forge]

Im sorry to hear that.

That schedule, with even 1-3 Bs is very good

[normal ember]

Alright, thank you again for the input (sorry if I'm being too formal, just don't really know what to say otherwise)

[wise forge]

you're fine lol.

[normal ember]

Okay, I'll be going now, have a good night (or day)

[wise forge]

You too.

[lone shore]

Hi all
I am planning to do bsc economics....
But I want to do it with finance or Data science...
Any ideas on this or what can I mingle bsc economics with?

[austere tulip]

Yes, the capstone program is worth it because it is gaining more recognition as time goes by.

Honestly,

I would recommend taking the capstone program is your career plan is STEM, because it is more research based, but if your career has to do with the Humanities, take the AP English courses

[austere tulip]

I think this is a really good courseload. Except, I would change one thing, because AP lang before AP lit is usually helpful.

[normal ember]

I'm pretty sure AICE Lang is the same thing, just from the Cambridge program instead of AP

I specifically chose AICE for any English or history classes available in the program, for two reasons; One is that I would personally prefer slightly less rigor in English and History (Mostly English), and the second reason is that I feel like an international program would provide a different look at world and US history

[austere tulip]

Oh ok

I didn't know whatt AICE was

I thought it was honors or something

But yes

that's a great idea

[normal ember]

Yeah, I believe in the US it's currently only prominent in Florida

Thank you

[hybrid mountain]

Next year I’m going to be heading into high school, I already have a pretty clear plan of what I’m going to do but I’m unsure about my world language. My school offers Spanish, French, Chinese, and American Sign language all of which I have had no practice in. I’m indecisive because Starting high school I’ll be doing a lot of harder classes and I’m wondering if Chinese is a good choice. I have ruled out French but I’m stuck between the three with Chinese being the hard rout and American Sign Language or Spanish being an easier rout. I have had experience with Italian which I believe is somewhat simular to Spanish. What do you guys think?

[lucid crypt]

if yk italian i say go for spanish

if you live in the us it’ll help to know spanish too since it’s widely spoken here

[daring pike]

hi i recently started my college but i also wanna learn other courses but cant choose one . my college doesnt have much classes so i have enough time to start with some other course so i just need some guidance about which course to go for in tech

[cinder gorge]

I am doing AICE as well 🤟

[austere tulip]

For tech, try taking computer science courses, math courses, and physics courses

[austere folio]

So I'm in 8th grade with no honors classes should I take ap human geography, honors biology, or both

[gloomy coral]

Any IITIANS Here?,

How did you get into iit?,

I mean how was life after 10th?

[hollow finch]

Ap human geo is very easy

Great freshman year class

[gloomy coral]

Did you take coaching and college simultaneously or just college or just coaching

Please help

[austere folio]

K thanks Parker kou

[eternal ice]

Do you live in the USA and if so do you live in Tx, if you do 1000% take Spanish because most of the people there speak Spanish and will help you later in life

But I think you should really take French or Spanish

[hollow finch]

French is fancy Lmao

[austere tulip]

But French is really cool

[hollow finch]

Yeah it is

You’ll pull some bitches if you can speak good French Lmao

[austere tulip]

No

In my opinion,

French is just good

cuz it's french

And also

don't use that word

[cinder gorge]

Bon appetite

[hollow finch]

What word

[cinder gorge]

The b word

Be careful dude

Mods can mute for stuff like that

[hollow finch]

I’ve literally sweared in this chat like 20 times Lmao ☠️

[cinder gorge]

Yeah try that in #general

It’s not going to go too well

[hollow finch]

I don’t even look at general

They talk about random stuff

[cinder gorge]

Good

Don’t go there

I learned the hard way

[hollow finch]

Oh boy

[cinder gorge]

Yeah don’t want to mess around there

[austere tulip]

Lol

true

[austere tulip]

merci

[cinder gorge]

alright! thnx!

[lone shore]

¿

[hollow finch]

Idk how those go together so I’m not much help Lmao

[worthy flare]

I want to take these classes next year, are they good?

Biology Honor
Geometry Honor
World History/Honors maybe
ELA CCP1
Astronomy I
Astronomy II
Spanish I
Intro to photography

In total it is 7 1/2 credits

[normal ember]

Should I take AICE Environmental Management (AICE is Cambridge version of AP) or Astronomy Honors (I prefer Astronomy) next year

(Keep in mind, since I prefer Astronomy I would also be able to self study it a lot more, as well as more effectively/be able to take it online more effectively)

[worthy flare]

Take Astronomy if you prefer it

My school take astronomy as an elective so I can’t take honors astronomy

[worthy flare]

What do y’all think?

[normal ember]

Alright, I probably will

Was originally gonna do enviro but didn't see that astronomy was in the courses

[worthy flare]

It’s the best bet, if you enjoy that class then u will do better

[normal ember]

Yeah, was just still deciding since environmental is something new + it's an AICE class

But I'm going to do astronomy

Thank you

[worthy flare]

yeah np

[worthy flare]

Should I take these classes? My school says if u take bio it looks good for college but I rly wanna take chem. Or even take bio and chem. Should I take chem and bio or just bio or just chem

[hollow finch]

I’m assuming this is sophomore year

That’s a good schedule

[fickle rivet]

that’s freshmen year

[austere tulip]

Yeah this is great. Especially if you have an inclination towards the earth and space sciences, astronomy and photography is great. World history will kind of help too. And I guess geometry as well

[austere tulip]

If you prefer astronomy, take astronomy. But if AICE has astronomy in their course then take that.

[worthy flare]

Thanks! There are course that my school recommends to students such as world history so I kinda have to take it

[cinder gorge]

Yo they just stripped you of your mod position for no reason

[cinder gorge]

thats sad

[idle iron]

Currently a sophmore, I'm considering taking these junior year:

1. My 3rd year of JROTC
2. Honors algebra 2 (I took regular algebra 1st year, too late to do anything about it ig...)
3. Honors chemistry (I took intro to chemistry and physics, kinda similar situstion to algebra) idk if I can or should do AP Chemistry 🤷
4. Considering taking AP lang if I do good this year in english, which I kinda am.
5. I took AP Computer science this year, I don't know what I should do here at this point.
6. I don't have to take a gym class, ever again, idk what to do here either.
7. I took AP Spanish language and culture this year as a sophomore, I don't know what to do. Should I take another Spanish class?? Like what...
8. I will probably take APUSH

I did wanna dabble with ap psych and ap stats but I'm not sure if I can do that and take algebra 2 at the same time? What are your thoughts, questions... suggestions?

[vagrant solar]

Should I take ap stat? Like is it worth it?

[wise forge]

depends on the teacher but i’d say yes

[fallen light]

Worth it in regards to what? It's probably some of the more practical high-school math you could learn so in that regard I would definitely say it is worth it.

[hollow finch]

You’re done with Spanish unless you wanna do Spanish Literature

But I’d just use that as an extra elective spot for something easy like AP Psychology

[keen fox]

Between Geography, History and English Literature, which subject should I choose

I'm scoring decent for all 3 subjects

[cinder gorge]

Ikr he didn’t even do anything to deserve that

[cinder gorge]

👍

[austere tulip]

They removed me because I was not experienced enough, not for no reason. It's fine.

But anyways

Thanks for your concern!

[austere tulip]

I'll share my opinion

AP stats is not very useful

If you're done with Calc,

Then take Calc III, Linear Algebra , and other complex maths instead

they may not be AP, but they are better in my opinion

[austere tulip]

Take AP lang, If you took AP comp sci, is there any advanced topics course you can take? Or like some other supplementary course? Since you don't have a gym class, go ahead with Psych. And if you finished AP Spanish Lang, you can take Spanish Lit, or some kind of Independent study option. Or else, if you are stem oriented take an engineering course, or else yes take stats, it does not really interfere with Algebra II. And yes, go with APUSh.

[idle iron]

There's data structures, but I dunno... I've got a C so far and the topics are fine in comprehension but in functionality with problems, I struggle, also pretty sure it isnt an AP class. Not giving up hope though on doing good! I will probably take psych, I'm not really sure if i should take lit, I saw one of the units being medieval and thought that was cool. I'm not really STEM related, I kind of like humanities more but stats supposedly is useful (my ap csa teacher recommended it)

[cinder gorge]

If anyone can, can they give me some course recommendations for someone who wants to go into medical

BTW I'm going to grade 9 next year so I'm kinda stressed

[runic anchor]

9th next year too

[cinder gorge]

ay

[runic anchor]

Well I'm not into medical stuff so can't really give u advice

[cinder gorge]

u don't mind me asking but what are u interested in then

[runic anchor]

I'm in science

[cinder gorge]

scince like phsics, bio, chem or

[runic anchor]

Basically we have
Biology
Chemistry
And Physics

[cinder gorge]

yea

[runic anchor]

Lol

[cinder gorge]

ik

I suck at grammer

[runic anchor]

I suck at essays

[austere tulip]

Take data structure if you can. Data structures is the most fundamental part of computer and science. ANd think about the knolwedge, not whether it's AP or not

[worthy flare]

My school recommendeds me taking bio but I’d like to take chem, will it affect how colleges look at me if I don’t take bio?

[wise forge]

bio is required in most states to graduate

[worthy flare]

It’s not required to graduate, it’s recommended because colleges like it. If I don’t take bio and take chem, will that affect how colleges look at me?

[fickle rivet]

no

but if ur going in a field bio related

then maybe

regular bio doesn’t mean much to colleges

[vagrant solar]

Should I try getting an associates degree in highschool?

[worthy flare]

I’m doing astronomy and astrophysics

[worthy flare]

In Highschool? I’m confused. An associates degree is 2 years in college

[cinder gorge]

AP stats is really useful

It helps you understand graphs

And plus it is a easy AP

[cinder gorge]

Yeah I would say so because AP stats is not that hard and stats are useful to know in later life

[cinder gorge]

AP Statistics, AP chemistry, and AP Biology if you are interested in AP courses for the medical field

But you can take regular statistics, regular biology and regular chemistry if you want

[fickle rivet]

who tf takes regular statistics

[cinder gorge]

Me

[vagrant solar]

You could dual enroll for it

[vagrant solar]

Thanks

[dusk rampart]

How difficult is ap music theory?

[fickle rivet]

pretty difficult if ur new to music

but if you know a bit

it shouldn’t be too hard

[austere tulip]

Yeah many people say it is...But for sme reason, I just consider Calc superior. Cuz I feel like stats is mostly common sense, and that a class isn't necessary for it. But yes, I understand where you're going

It's a choice

[fickle rivet]

for college stats isn’t as good as calc unless u do calc before

[austere tulip]

Yeah

that's what I was saying

[cinder gorge]

I am mainly a stats person

And science person

Not really a Calculus person

For some reason

[fickle rivet]

science uses both

[cinder gorge]

Ik

Analysis of graphs and data

I know Science uses them

[fickle rivet]

depends which sciences tho

[cinder gorge]

Chemistry and Biology

[fickle rivet]

Like physics is better with calc

nvm

[cinder gorge]

Physics is bad

[fickle rivet]

cancelled

[cinder gorge]

It’s way too complex

But that’s just me

[cinder gorge]

lol

[fickle rivet]

nah physics actually makes sense

(most of it)

nothing in chem makes sense

[cinder gorge]

Kinetic and Potential Energy equations

Yeah

[fickle rivet]

except thermodynamics

[cinder gorge]

Those give me nightmares

[fickle rivet]

which is part of physics

bio makes more sense than chem

[cinder gorge]

What do you not understand about chemistry

[fickle rivet]

I forgor all of it

and don’t wanna remember any of it

unless Walter white comes to my school

[cinder gorge]

lol

@fickle rivet Do you like trigonometry?

[fickle rivet]

no

i have to find a way to like it soon

[cinder gorge]

Good

You passed the test

I tried a little bit of trigonometry did not like it

[fickle rivet]

what was it

[cinder gorge]

Like angles and those stuff

[fickle rivet]

bruh

[worthy flare]

I agree

[cinder gorge]

Yeah circles, angles

Not great stuff

[fickle rivet]

unit circle

more like

When written mathematically it gets a little confusing because u have to memorize the formulas and all but when you break down the formula such as g=f/m^3 (gravity equals force and mass) it gets easier

Please don’t bring up physics

It’s my worst nightmare

[worthy flare]

is it that bad?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

I don’t like how much work you have to do

[fickle rivet]

lmao ap physics is easier than reg at my school

[cinder gorge]

Whaaaa

[worthy flare]

Same w most classes

[fickle rivet]

too bad u don’t have it

[worthy flare]

Chem on some occasions is easier

[cinder gorge]

Nah it’s fine I have AP chemistry

[fickle rivet]

lmao my school has all sciences

[worthy flare]

If you know basic math and the 4 states of matter you pretty good already

[fickle rivet]

even apes

[worthy flare]
