course-selection

[wise forge]

maybe?

i don’t know the rigor of your electives so it depends what you want to do

just have fun

pick whichever one is more interesting

[austere tulip]

are these only ur electives

[cinder gorge]

No

[austere tulip]

so u have no core classes?

[pearl hound]

funny enough up north we call pre calc "advanced functions" couldn't tell u why tho *note: l don't remember if it's only for my province

[pseudo echo]

how hard is ap lit

[austere tulip]

super easy

everybody gets 5s on it

[pseudo echo]

ty

[past glade]

Depends on how well you are in English

Some of my seniors say it’s really easy

Others who struggle with English, analysis, essay, say it’s hard

AP lang is apparently very hard though harder

[buoyant vapor]

Should I take ap Chem in 10th grade

[peak fiber]

what are planning to be in the future

[buoyant vapor]

Idk yet

[peak fiber]

any general idea,?

[buoyant vapor]

Something related to business probably

[peak fiber]

ah ok

well its a pretty rigorous class

im not planning to take it so idk

[buoyant vapor]

oh okay

[peak fiber]

maybe ask someone who has on their thoughts

[buoyant vapor]

ok

[peak fiber]

but mainly id say take aps of what you are acc interested in

like if ur going health or med take ap bio

if ur doing engineering take calc and physics

stuff like that

[buoyant vapor]

it looks good on college app tho

also i like chem

[peak fiber]

no ones stopping you :)

[buoyant vapor]

yeah im just asking for advice

like is it hard

[peak fiber]

i think it is

science aps are harder than others

[glacial onyx]

@buoyant vapor I’m taking it as a junior rn. Some of my friends took it as sophomores and they got As and Bs

It’s rigorous but doable and I would suggest only if you are really interested in chemistry

[buoyant vapor]

Thanks!

I think I’m gonna do it

[south crystal]

So I'm currently in the 2nd semester of 9th grade and I want to take computer science and at my school you can do 2 major courses and I already chose culinary 2 so should I change that course to computer science?

I am currently in culinary 1

And the other major course I am going to be taking is management

(Basically business)

[mighty mist]

Can you take cs next year?

I think its better sticking with one type of class for a whole year

[south crystal]

I can only take culinary 1 in 9th grade and in 10th grade I can switch from culinary 2 to intro to computer science

[mighty mist]

Oh i see i misunderstood

Yes go for it if you want to take cs next year

Tho could do it junior year and 2 yrs of culinary

[south crystal]

Yea I just wanted to make sure that it would be okay to do so before I change it

[twin yoke]

hello

[green ice]

could have sworn there was an igcse channel... i was wondering if anyone knew if i can take igcse subjects together with a different english course thats not igcse?

[stone quest]

So I'm currently doing geometry and going to do adv alg next semester. I'm planning on doing pre calc... but im not sure if I should continue with it. since I would have 3 years left of highschool after next year, and it might be difficult. Is it worth doing calc? even precalc...
also is AP human geography worth for when I become a freshman? a lot of people are thinking about taking it. but idk how hard it is

[past glade]

APHUG- not worth it

At all

I mean unless you want an AP credit

But as a freshman, I'd say you learn nothing

It's not hard if you can dedicate a lot of time to it

For me, I have a LOT of extracurriculars which makes it really time consuming

[austere tulip]

Go ahead, calc is great, and u then will have so much time to go deeper into it

[austere tulip]

yeah go ahead, I'm doing the same

It will be a little difficult at first

but it's fine

I heard from my friends taking it in 10th

and I think I can

[elfin flicker]

I am taking ap bio and ap chem junior year

In my school in order to take those aps you need to do the honors one firsy

In my opinion that’s kind of dumb

[buoyant vapor]

Omg same

[buoyant vapor]

It’s so stupid because I just moved here, and I can get into honors, but I have to waste a year of taking the normal course

[graceful tinsel]

I have to decide between Pre-Calc and Sports Statistics for 12th grade next year. My math teacher recommended Pre-Calc but I talked to a teacher at a college and they said to take Sports Statistics, as it will help with programming, what I want to when I grow up

[outer ether]

Is ap world history or honors world history better as a freshman

[graceful tinsel]

ur talking those as a freshman?

dang

i would go for the easier one, which I think is the ap course

[tropic portal]

My freshman year, I took ap world history. It was a little tough for me because I did a bunch of other honors. Compared to the honors, most of them struggled more than the ones taking ap world history. It isn't the teacher though because the same teacher taught both. I think taking ap is better although it is a bit tougher but as long as you keep track of your work and read ahead, it is easier.

[outer ether]

Ok thx

[daring jay]

yessir

[buoyant vapor]

Do u know what ap means? It’s a college level course

[hollow finch]

It's easy

And a good introduction to college level work

[past glade]

Is it rational to take AP physics and AP chemistry in the same year?

[vagrant solar]

^^^ I have the same question

[elfin flicker]

You guys know that Ap pre calc is a thing now

[past glade]

mhm

[cinder gorge]

Idk how i found pre calc harder than calc

[covert linden]

Do any of you guys know of the Stanford envision program

My friend got invited but from actually looking at it and what people have said about it it seems like a money ploy

[mighty mist]

probably is

[covert linden]

It is a specific program

[mighty mist]

just read it's not even administered by stanford, not worth it for EC and costs a lot of money but could be interesting

[covert linden]

The "intensive law and trial" program

She did apparently get invited tho

So idk if it's selective

[mighty mist]

idk so many people don't make it to law school or drop out so these high school programs aren't really anything special

[mighty mist]

totally not worth it lmao the cost

i just found

even with that makes me sus its that much for 7-10 days

[cinder gorge]

What high achool science should i do next year? I already did bio and im in chem rn

[uneven sparrow]

Don’t know if this is the right place but anyone any advice on GCSE options?

[uneven sparrow]

If it helps and looking into College and University in the UK to eventually study Law and hopefully move to criminal Prosecution in the future

[obsidian crest]

I'd say for law focus on English/English Lit., Maths and Science

that's what most universities in the UK require.

https://thinkstudent.co.uk/what-gcses-do-you-need-to-become-a-lawyer/

this website goes more in depth if you need it : )

[graceful tinsel]

advanced placement

[elfin flicker]

Yeah a lot of people in my school say that too

[buoyant vapor]

Yeah so it would be harder than honors world history

[mint thorn]

Physics I would say

Just get all three

[onyx lotus]

Rate the classes I’m taking next year (I am a senior):
AP Calc AB
AP Chem
AP US Gov
AP Marco
AP English Lit
Applied Music
Band

[vagrant solar]

Can you someone tell me how dual enrollment over summer would work?

[silent tinsel]

Prolly depends on courses like if it could be done online or not and you prolly have option to do it online or not. But not sure about laborative course like bio and chemistry

[uneven sparrow]

Thanks, I’ll look further into it

[final junco]

Should I take Honors Chemistry and AP Physics 1 as an A hour? (Sophomore year) I plan on becoming a surgeon

I’m already ahead in math, taking Honors Algebra 2 next year

Then Junior year I’ll take AP Bio and AP Chem

I’m striving for an AP Capstone diploma

[weary gust]

Should you take calc BC if you’re interested in going into a stem field

And does taking economics HL help out in college

[vagrant solar]

I’m planning on taking us history over summer through dual enrollment

[mighty mist]

Is that a cluster?

[tight trellis]

i have to pick my junior year classes soon; can i dm someome?

[cinder gorge]

just ccurious for sophmore year (next grade currently am a freshmen) should i take honors english, ap world history, pre calc, and should i take ap chemistry or normal

colleges like if u took another language im pretty sure

[mighty mist]

Also need 2 yrs of world language

[cinder gorge]

yes

u need those credits accounted for

[cinder gorge]

ya

[mighty mist]

Ok. You dont need to be so hostile

[cinder gorge]

yep because that will be a big disadvantage if they compare u to another student and that other guy might have worse grades but may have taken another language

[mighty mist]

Also they like continuous language so not skipping and multiple languages is fine but usually not necessarily spreads you out too much

[cinder gorge]

well both

[cinder gorge]

ye but make sure your senior year u are taking tough classes if u take easy classes senior year their gonna think u can handle the pressure

[tight trellis]

if you havent taken AP before take one AP in whatever youre more confident/want to go into and build the year after thst: sophomore year i took two for the firdt time but theyre both very essy aps

[cinder gorge]

anyone have any suggestions

[cinder gorge]

ok

[mighty mist]

Toughish yeah not extremely hard tho

[cinder gorge]

is ap world history and ap chem easy

[tight trellis]

Ap chem isnt

ap world depends who you are ig

[cinder gorge]

they want u to have hard courses to see if u can handle the hard courses at the uni

[tight trellis]

what do u wanna be

[cinder gorge]

oh

doctor medical

[tight trellis]

as a sophomore taking ap chem would be kinda rough

[cinder gorge]

well i heard in the school that normal chem is just as bad

[tight trellis]

Ap world is supposed to be kinda difficult but id take honors chem before ap chrm

[cinder gorge]

cuz im taking bio in freshmen year rn

[mighty mist]

Well yeah but senior year shouldnt be the toughest year

[tight trellis]

my schools like that for the order too; honestly, ap chem would tailor more to your interests in premed but mind you, its considered one of the more difficult aps; if you got a good teacher you should be good

[cinder gorge]

not its fine because i need some advice on it

[cinder gorge]

ok i c

[tight trellis]

context?

[cinder gorge]

bro 1 language

i told you

ur gonna get destroyed if u dont and colleges wont care about u

as much

[tight trellis]

r u genuinely interedted in ap world At all? Have you taken ap beforev

[cinder gorge]

not really but i need the ap

[tight trellis]

wait are you not ineresred in either? Also colleges also dont wanna see you shoving ap just to take ap

that also doesnt help

you gotta do what you love as itll make the clas eadier too

[mighty mist]

Depends on college

[tight trellis]

thats why context matters

[mint thorn]

All of business is gonna be in Chinese now so honestly take a Chinese class

[cinder gorge]

I’m interested in ap Chem I was talking about ap world

[tight trellis]

If youre not interested, dont bother with it, do you need world to graduate in your state/school? If you need it, then maybe consider it more strongly

[mint thorn]

Nah that’s not worth it

[tight trellis]

how many years of chinese

have you maxxed out of curriculum?

How many years of FL do you need to graduate

Foreign langauge

youre in chinese 5?

youre being unclear lol

and im trying to help

how many years have you taken it, is your school in a semester schedule?

how many high school years

im assuming youre a junior goong to be a senior then?

oh okay, some states/schools arent like that (like mine)

Okay, explain yourself coherently, i frankly know nothing of your background

if youre going into business you should probably take the business class

i wouldnt have known that as my school has business classes all year round lol

what would you get more value out of? Whats more tailored to what you wanna do? I thinj its abt quality not quantity

[cinder gorge]

ye im pretty sure

[tight trellis]

gl

[cinder gorge]

thanks

just curious what grade r u in?

[tight trellis]

sophomore

[cinder gorge]

oh

what classes are u taking which ones are ez?

[tight trellis]

AP Seminar depends on the teacher; its supposed to be easy but my teachers notorious for being a sadist, same with lang; i live in a state where apush is in two years so its easier but normally it’s considered difficult

i take everything else honors cuz thats all i can take sophomore year

[cinder gorge]

oh ok

im also taking all the honors i can

currently

ye i want to do ap chem the scary thing is the teacher is hte most hated teacher of the whole school

[tight trellis]

Good luck

[graceful tinsel]

I have to decide between Pre-Calc and Sports Statistics for 12th grade next year. My math teacher recommended Pre-Calc but I talked to a teacher at a college and they said to take Sports Statistics, as it will help with programming, what I want to when I grow up

[vagrant solar]

Wdym

[mighty mist]

Cluster can be taken for one year and build upon your knowledge ex. econ 210, econ 211, econ 212

[waxen dune]

Would AP BIO or Ap Chem be better for medicinal stuff

[vagrant solar]

Oh I don’t think so. I wanna know if you can even do a yearlong course in like 2 months over summer

[mighty mist]

You could if you took all of them at the same time depending on if they have prereq

[onyx lotus]

^ incoming senior

[tight wedge]

imo looks really good but you should think about taking a foreign language senior year

[onyx lotus]

I got exempted from Spanish

ya girl is dual language already 💪

[tight trellis]

honestly either one; have you taken bio or chem before? Do what you like better, chem is harder tho

[waxen dune]

I see this

[cinder gorge]

Both

One junior yr and one senior yr

[austere tulip]

I think that's true for ap chem in every school

the class is hard

[austere tulip]

I think it's good

[cobalt grail]

my course selection for next year is due next week (i'm going into 11th grade) and can someone let me know if this seems like a solid path!

i plan on majoring in marketing once i graduate btw! :)

[austere tulip]

good....

i woulld recommend calc instead of stats

[past burrow]

Hi, I am a sophomore is High going into Junior year next year. I love math but I am not being challenged enough in my Geometry Honors class and there is not AP Geometry and next Is Algebra II in which I cannot take over summer to try and challenge myself and grow. How should I try and grow my abilities in Math if it is not challenging enough for me.

[cinder gorge]

Join clubs maybe? I also really recommend joining some school competitions if you are confident. Maybe u will get an award that u can include in ur common application

Or just do someone’s taxes

Jk, idk

[past burrow]

@cinder gorge thanks I remember there is a math club completion that is perfect thank you

[cinder gorge]

Ofc, good luck

[wise forge]

good freeperiod, apps gonna be tough.

For marketing, stats is perfect, but some colleges require calculus so it will be easier to take AB or BC instead of stat

s

so make sure you know the requirements for your major

[elder eagle]

So i am a freshman rn and i am taking ap csp. i was wondering how hard most ap clases are compared to it, as it feels pretty easy, and i feel like i may be getting a false sense of what ap is like

[cinder gorge]

I'm not sure if I should go into DE English 12 or AP Lit

[sacred saffron]

Hey ppl I'm a freshman and I'm taking Chemistry, I have a couple options for my science class next year and I'm not sure if I should go into a higher level of chemistry, a higher level of Biology, or Marine Biology. Both of the higher level ones can give me college credit but Marinw Biology sounds fun and I'm suffering in chemistry:/ help?

[upper temple]

Is biology ap hard? (& is it harder than psychology?)

[cinder gorge]

ap psychology is ez

ap bio is hard

but not as hard as ap physics or chem

[cunning stirrup]

Heyyy! I am a freshmen who is choosing classes for 10th grade. I wanna major in pre med so what classes would you guys reccomend me to take?

I am thinking off taking English Honors, AP World History, AP Bio, AP pysch, French 3, AP Pre-Calc, Aastronomy and Sports medicine

And feedbac? Thank you!! 🙂

[upper temple]

Honestly i feel like taking the history APs (excluding psych), seems kinda unnecessary if youre trying to major in pre med -- but if youre trying to impress colleges then id understand why, have you taken your first AP yet?

[cinder gorge]

do ap pysch online

and put some other class

[spice burrow]

What bachelors should i get if i want to go to law school (@ me when answering)

[cinder gorge]

no

[spice burrow]

Ur right i shouldnt do law

[vagrant solar]

Do you learn anything valuable in AP psychology?

[cinder gorge]

y u asking me? ask people at ur school

[wise forge]

thats a lot of aps

[wise forge]

well they just get the gen end requirement out of the way

[wise forge]

Law Schools like to see a variety of majors

I am double majoring in Political Science and Psychology, but even music could look good.

Just make sure you show an interested in the topic like an honor thesis.

Participate in mock trial tho

College Mock Trial is the best way

[wise forge]

Maybe take a dual enrollment class instead of one of em, their usually cheaper and better for credit. Depends on where you want to go though.

Or, take a class concurrently. Some schools will not accept courses which are taken at a high school or for high school credit, however, if you enroll in a college separately (like I did) then they have a higher likelihood of being accepted.

[covert linden]

Hi fellow law nerd. Also you have any advice when it comes to law. Do you have any type of law you specialize in?

[wise forge]

Constitutional Law!

What about you?

Also, I friended you.

[covert linden]

Same

[wise forge]

Noice.

[covert linden]

I'm reading a book rn called "the case against the Supreme Court" it's written by one of the deans of constitutional law at Berkeley

[wise forge]

Ou

I do not have time to read books 😭

[covert linden]

I sadly haven't had much time to read it but it's about past and present failures of the Supreme Court

[wise forge]

Starting of course with, John Marshall.

lol

[covert linden]

What was your role in mock trial

[wise forge]

I do the pretrial motion

Do you do Mock?

I represent the people

btw

on both teams

[covert linden]

Ya, I started last year I was a defense witness in the junior division and this year I was an alternate (actually got to one comp since one witness couldn't be there)

I prefer defense personally

[wise forge]

What grade are you in?

[covert linden]

9th

[wise forge]

You had mock trial in 8th??

I wish I did lmao

[covert linden]

Junior division

[wise forge]

Idk what that means lol

My state just has one competition lmao

[covert linden]

The junior division was like the division middle schoolers could do

High school is the senior division

[wise forge]

ah

[covert linden]

Senior has the pretrial motion while junior does not

You got any tips for pretrial?

[wise forge]

I am new to it as well. Freshman year, I made varsity as a prosecution witness, and was the state mvp and stuff. Going from that, it isn't much different in terms of talking clearly and thinking on your feat. Its just, instead of telling your story, you're having a conversation with the judge about your case and why you're right and why their wrong.

[covert linden]

I learned a bit about how to write the speech and utilize the case law this year, but didn't do it due to others having more experience

[wise forge]

With cases, you introduce their story, and relate it to your case.

In US vs fdhfduihfiudoi, the fbi detained the defendant, beat him, and then asked for consent. The court ruled that the FBI was allowed to do that and the consent was not a product of coercion. In the case at hand, the police officer beat the defendant less hard and had a warrant. Blah Blah

something like that

[covert linden]

Ya utilizing the holding of the cases that have a verdict that's good for your case, and refute by differing the cases the other side used to the current one

[wise forge]

Answering the questions, and remembering where you are is hard.

K n o w you're case packet though

I am the one thats so involved in the law im at risk of disqualification bc i'll bring up cases not in the case packet when proving my point 💀

It's a work inprogress.

[covert linden]

If the cases don't offer what you want you could also relate it to the statutes

[wise forge]

Eh no

[covert linden]

Oh you can't

[wise forge]

If they don't offer what you want, don't bring them up

[wise forge]

We are limited to the statutes in the case packets so not always

[covert linden]

I just learned something new thank you

[wise forge]

NP!

Rule of thumb: You can only use your case packet and what is contained therewith, and your opponent the same.

[covert linden]

In the last case we had the motion related to the 4th amendment and if consent was valid

[wise forge]

If they bring up Jackson vs Dobbs, but its not in there, point of order.

[wise forge]

My case is on the 4th amendment and the due process clause of the 14th

[covert linden]

One of the cases I remember that was in the packet was Bumper vs North Carolina

[wise forge]

Thats in mine this year

Schneckloth v Bustamonte

that’s my other scotus one

[covert linden]

Same with ours

[wise forge]

California?

[covert linden]

People vs Jordan franks?

[wise forge]

The people of the state of California versus Jordan Frank’s

yes

[covert linden]

Bro

[wise forge]

Lmfao

[covert linden]

The role I filled in for was Cleo Shaffer

[wise forge]

Oh

I reference Cleo in my argument

[covert linden]

Ya they gave the ring to cher as a gift

[wise forge]

that fucker gave Mavis probable cause

[wise forge]

not that part

[covert linden]

Oo how?

[wise forge]

They saw franks throw someone in the trashcan around the time that detective mavis saw franks there alone and there was the ring box in the can

[covert linden]

Main thing the defense referenced was if mavis was lying when they said they could have a warrant processed at any moment. Cause they needed to go to the ministry

[wise forge]

ye

I have thag in myargumentr too

i’m eating dinner if i don’t respond

[covert linden]

Main thing prosecution used was that franks knew their rights and when they said yes they knew they could refuse

[wise forge]

i noticed

lmao

i mention all of those points in my argument alone

[covert linden]

Also franks did consent to the search of the room, not the safe, but the safe was in the room, so should the consent given to the room count towards the safe? And i don't remember if any of the cases in the packet referenced the taking back of consent

Cause they did consent to search the room "I have nothing to hide"

[final junco]

Should I take DE for Honors Chemistry?

[wise forge]

that la not really relevant though

that’s

[covert linden]

But if the consent for the room is valid wouldn't consent for the safe be valid as well

As it is in the room

[covert linden]

How so?

Also other cases defense used was United States v. Hicks, and Castaneda v. Los Angeles

In Castaneda v. Los Angeles the defense said that Jordan franks was virtually powerless like Castaneda

I had a rebuttal to that, Franks was never in custody and since Franks knows their rights they do have a choice unlike Castaneda. Not to mention all the lies the defendant told, she clearly did have a choice and chose to send them to 31 places

[wise forge]

it’s well established that consent for the room doesn’t regard for the safe so to me it’s not worth arguing, especially without case law.

[wise forge]

I use hicks in my argument 💀

[wise forge]

yes

[covert linden]

Your the people tho

[wise forge]

he

ye*

Hicks is probably my strongest case

[covert linden]

Those holdings seem better for defense

How do you use hicks

A threat to obtain a search warrant can render consent invalid

[wise forge]

i’m not gonna disclose my secrets 💀

[wise forge]

my main point is this actually

it’s invalid if the warrant was invalid

most of my argument is saying the warrant was valid

and that there is a difference from knocking on the door saying you have a warrant vs persistently requesting consent

meaning you don’t have the warrant

[covert linden]

But mavis technically didn't have the warrant yet

[wise forge]

So?

Like to me thats like a "so"

I argue that its not a product of resigned inevitability because of the reasonable factual basis for the warrant

[covert linden]

So how could the warrant be valid if it wasn't authorized yet

Especially when mavis said it "could be obtained at any moment"

[wise forge]

And thats what I argue, that it is.

[wise forge]

which was not a flat out lie, it could've

It was a bending of the truth

which happens all the time

[covert linden]

Interesting argument

[wise forge]

Yeah, its

It has worked

i've won every time

[covert linden]

Nice

[wise forge]

Yeah, i haven't even told you everything but you already know it is interesting

I don't prepare my stuff beforehand though,,, I kinda make it up on the spot.

I know the cases and I know the question, I go up there and argue for it, and change as I see the judge and the other side

[covert linden]

If and when I do pretrial (which I hope to do) I may dm

[wise forge]

Please do

Mock Trial people are few and far between

[final junco]

May I ask why? 😅

[wise forge]

DE is just like free college chem credits

Regular chem is so easy

DE will be a challenge

and you get

credts

credits

[covert linden]

Mavis had to have prepared the application immediately after approaching Franks in the café and getting Franks to identify the ring box. (p. 37, lines 19-21.) But Mavis took Franks to the cabin after Franks identified the ring box. (p 37, lines 28-29.) Do we think Mavis really would have sat down in the café after Franks identified the box and prepared a warrant application right then and there? Why would Mavis bother to do that? If Franks consented to a search, there would be no need. Plus, how could Mavis describe in the warrant application what she wanted to search when she hadn’t even seen the safe? Finally, Mavis would probably have to go to court to submit the application, so what would be the point of sitting down and preparing it right then and there, and delay progress on the investigation?

[final junco]

Thoughts?

[wise forge]

That isn't how warrants work whoever wrote that.

Actually, my favorite quote to a judge "Uhhh... thats how warrants work your honor"

[covert linden]

Lol mock trial coach

[wise forge]

jesus christ 💀

"I need to search the room for this specific object" allows for the safe to be opened upon that warrant

As long as its reasonable

if you're looking for a car, no, but if you're looking for car keys, yes.

[cinder gorge]

good

[covert linden]

More from the coach- Even if Mavis had prepared an application, Mavis – according to her own fact statement – told Franks that “a search warrant was being authorized and that it was in Franks’ best interest to unlock the safe.” (p. 38, lines 4-6.) This statement was also probably false. How could Mavis have submitted an application to a judge for a search warrant at 1 a.m. while she was on board the ship and in the middle of questioning Franks, and before she had seen the safe? How could Mavis know that a judge was authorizing a search warrant at that very moment?

[cinder gorge]

looks like a typical normal schedule that most people r doing

[wise forge]

Actually, there is a thing as magistrates on duty, wouldn't be that hard lmfao.

[cinder gorge]

i personality wont deal with that schedule tho

[final junco]

coming from a school that was horrible in academics (lenient grading system) it looks like a lot for me and my other friends

[covert linden]

Cool

[cinder gorge]

well find a way to work

i alr thought of some solutions

[wise forge]

Imagine having a coach to write your material 💀

[final junco]

like?

[cinder gorge]

im not telling u, go figure it out

[wise forge]

I was left to my own devices until 7 days ago when I was told to perform it and I was like uhhhhhhh

[final junco]

alr sorry man

[cinder gorge]

people aint gonna always be giving answers whenever u want it

[covert linden]

They were his suggestions, don't think they ended up using them much

[wise forge]

y e a h

[final junco]

didnt know it was that deep

[wise forge]

g o o d

[covert linden]

Lol

Our defense consistently won hers

So did our prosecution till the last round

[wise forge]

interesting

[covert linden]

Tho this is high school

[cinder gorge]

rate my schedule

[wise forge]

💀

thats

very not specific

[covert linden]

So probably just because the competition usually was not too good

[cinder gorge]

what part

[wise forge]

I am in high school as well

[covert linden]

Oh

[wise forge]

My counties first round starts tuesday

we've just had scrimages before that

[cinder gorge]

W

[covert linden]

Oo

[wise forge]

dosn't say grades/years

[cinder gorge]

@wise forge what part of my schedule is not specific

[wise forge]

^

[cinder gorge]

yes it does

read carefully

[wise forge]

where is sophomore year?

[cinder gorge]

im a sophmore rn

[wise forge]

o

[cinder gorge]

if u want everything, he it is

[wise forge]

APush TA 💀

Also I was kicked out of band fellow band kid

[cinder gorge]

well its either that or do pe at 6am in the freezing cold

[wise forge]

Ew

[covert linden]

Have you ever done the journalist role before. Idk if I did it right and may want to try it again

[wise forge]

Um

n o

[cinder gorge]

someone rate my scheudle

[wise forge]

we don't even have an artist

[covert linden]

K no worries

[wise forge]

8/10

[cinder gorge]

what can i improve on

[wise forge]

We don't have a full team ever bc we have the best people on varsity and the bad people on JV

so we just double

I am not allowed to double though

bc pretrial is special

[wise forge]

Nothing 💀

[covert linden]

Having a good team of attorneys and witnesses is more important

[cinder gorge]

then y the 8/10?

[wise forge]

^

[wise forge]

Bc thats what it is

[cinder gorge]

?

[wise forge]

You just can't improve it

I do not see a way you could anyway

If you change it, i'd go down since ur a sophomore alr

[cinder gorge]

go down?

[wise forge]

the score

lmao

[covert linden]

Ya, we only have 1 team so the freshmen mostly didn't get the best roles. Next year tho they may split it between grades with a 9th and 10th team and an 11th and 12th team

[cinder gorge]

summer?

[wise forge]

Nah summers are full for ya

[cinder gorge]

no

i want more

from 7am to 9pm

[covert linden]

And since I did learn about pretrial, I'm probably the most likely to do it on the 9/10 team next year

[wise forge]

I was the first Freshman in a while last year to get two roles ( I was doubled up as Angel Russel and Dani )

[covert linden]

Ayyyyy

I was Dani

[wise forge]

Ayy

I was sassy

on both

[covert linden]

Character witness

[wise forge]

OMG I GOT A 28 AS ANGEL RUSSLE

[cinder gorge]

Give me something to improve on

[covert linden]

Our team lost due to a tie last year

[wise forge]

I got a 10 and an 8 and since it was a tie, the judge gave me a 10, I was so good

I loved it

I talked back to the attorney in such a funny way

and I listened to their opening arguments so i know what theyre trying to extrapolate and then I don't give it to them

[cinder gorge]

@wise forge

[covert linden]

The attorney accused me of being biased

[wise forge]

Get friends and chill

[tacit hamlet]

then why are you in this channel spreading negativity then

[wise forge]

Objection argumentative

[cinder gorge]

Cuz people always be doing this

[tacit hamlet]

then dont reply not that hard

[covert linden]

Like "you wouldn't want your friend Jamie Cobey being convicted of murder would you"

[wise forge]

Colleges look at local context, so you'll be fine

[tacit hamlet]

“i already thought of some solutions to your problem” then proceeds to say “go figure it out yourself”

[wise forge]

Objection argumentative

[covert linden]

And I said "I wouldn't want anyone I know to be convicted of murder

[wise forge]

literally

[covert linden]

They were trying to say my memory was off

[wise forge]

also, be nice to people

[covert linden]

Cause I didn't want to see Jaime in a bad light

[wise forge]

that was rude I just went and looked

[wise forge]

interesting

I could argue argumentative and get a rephrase

make it less

[covert linden]

My attorney was kinda perplexed

At the questions

But I fought

[compact dagger]

@broken shale Your message(s) have been flagged as spam and have been removed.

[wise forge]

?ban @broken shale NSFW SPAM

[lost spire]

Clankers#8932 was banned

[wise forge]

jesus

lmao

thats

definition

argumentative

[tacit hamlet]

anyways, physical science or chem? gonna take ap physics so which class provides more relevance to physics

[wise forge]

Chem is a physical science

rihgt?

[covert linden]

The attorney was gaslighting me 🥰

[wise forge]

Physical science is usually an easier class, so i'd go with chem

[wise forge]

I gaslight attorneys 💀

[covert linden]

Love that

[wise forge]

An attorney tried impeaching me, but I was right and it was so funny and their score 📉

[covert linden]

Cleo Shaffer went well

I got put in the role last minute tho

[tacit hamlet]

isnt chem the study of individual molecules and their reactions while physics is the study as the universe as a whole

[covert linden]

So I didn't rlly have time to memorize

[tacit hamlet]

i dont see that much relevance

[covert linden]

The cross went well tho

I even got to add that I saw franks near the ice cream machine

[wise forge]

physics is a different class than physical science at my school

[wise forge]

ou

[covert linden]

Cause they asked if I saw lucky

So I said "yes as well as franks"

[tacit hamlet]

i meant like i have 2 science courses to choose from and im curious on which one will set me up better for ap physics

[wise forge]

Probably chem

if im being honest

[tacit hamlet]

alright thanks

[covert linden]

It was the first round so it was out of 20 and I got 16/20

Not bad for learning the role the day of

[wise forge]

yeah

Pretrial is out of 90 at my county level-

its so dam much

[covert linden]

Wow

For us pretrial starts at 30

But as the comp progresses it gets higher

[wise forge]

well

it starts at 30

but its trippled

so each judge does out of 30

[covert linden]

Oh

[wise forge]

than that score is multipled by 3

yeah

It has a tone of weight on comp

I just found that out today

[covert linden]

Tell me how you do

[wise forge]

I will

[covert linden]

Deny that motion

[wise forge]

My first comp is with the BYE TEam

basically its a team from the best people from all of the schools to fill an open spot 💀

[covert linden]

Wow

[wise forge]

Im not the best on my team... but apparently my coach thinks im better than the rest of the pretrial attornies

[covert linden]

Idk if it's like this for year team, but with mine Prosecution is always the fall

[wise forge]

We have our really slay attorney on it too

[covert linden]

Defense wins and prosecution looses the round

Hence why I like defense

Innocent until proven guilty

[wise forge]

oh

Prosecution wins frequently

[covert linden]

Your strategies seem top notch. Using hicks on your side (especially since defense will likely use hicks) is a good move

[wise forge]

Yeah

Our coach doesn't help us with out material too which is our ultimate flexxing point

bc we won last year without a coach, she ran away to Arizona mid year

so

yeah

[covert linden]

Cause there are only 3 cases the defense has the holding for

[wise forge]

and I use all 3 in my full argument 💀

[covert linden]

And you took one of them for your argument nullifying all 3

[wise forge]

My rebuttle is made up on the spot, but I usually will flip the cases on them lmao

[covert linden]

To refute or you state they prove your point?

Dang

[wise forge]

Im good at quick thinking

[covert linden]

I'm big on preparation

If you prepare for every scenario you will know what to do

[wise forge]

that takes too long

[covert linden]

We start months in advance

[wise forge]

I looked at the cases once, and understood each one of them, and can now make my argument depending on the defense

[wise forge]

we started in august

before the case packet was even released

[covert linden]

Wow

[wise forge]

but since I am doing so much I don't show up that often

[covert linden]

What did you do if the case wasn't released

[wise forge]

I took 10 classes last semester, spent over 28 hours a week doing marching band, Key Club volunteering, Academic Decathlon, and Choir.

so

[wise forge]

Practiced

like

the skills

Knowing objections, critical thinking

how to act

[covert linden]

We needed to do that

[wise forge]

public speaking

[covert linden]

Especially to find out what roles people are good for

Our coach was new this year and didn't know us so the roles were kinda everywhere

Another reason freshmen got crappy roles

[wise forge]

ah

My team is just student run so

We're friends with all of the Admin which is helpful for ditching class among other things

but we have

Since we won last year

we got like 10k to work with

So we're going to build a court room eventually

[covert linden]

Wow

[spice burrow]

U can pick more than 1 major? Dont u have 1 major with the rest being minors?

[spice burrow]

Whats that

[covert linden]

Mock trial is a program where people have roles in a courtroom scenario (ex: witnesses and attorneys) and the place your competing for (in my case this is the constitutional rights foundation) gives a case for your team to do. Their need to be opening statements, closing statements, direct exams, cross exams, and depending on the division (middle school or high school) a pretrial motion. There are also a prosecution and a defense side, the side you are affects your argument on whether or not the defendant is guilty

If you like law/ want to be a lawyer this is a great EC to have as it shows how a trial is conducted

[uneven sparrow]

Question: would taking Psychology GCSE be a good show for the future to move to law?

Also, what is it like to take it

[tardy geyser]

The only required class for freshman would probably not be ap bio

[tight wedge]

does this look good for junior year

im gonna take pre calc over the summer then ap calc bc senior yr

[undone grove]

I want to do AP Chem and some physics class next year. I was planning on doing just Honors Physics, but both the physics and chemistry teacher recommended I took AP Physics 1. I am also going to do AP Lang and AP Gov. Should I do Honors Physics or AP Physics 1?

[glossy kite]

does anybody know if these courses are good for gr 11 cuz I plan to become a sports physician or go into medicine so I was wondering if its all good

(ping me btw cuz i aint scrolling up)

[next sparrow]

is psychology good to take even if you’re not planning to go into that field? (grade 11 course)

[undone grove]

I am not too knowledgeable on this, but my history teacher said not to do Psychology (Especially AP or Duel Enrollment) if you are not interested in the class.

[south haven]

Is AP Chemistry a good course to take?

[next sparrow]

oh.. what about philosophy

[stray fern]

Does your school offer weight lifting?

[floral loom]

Do you think AP econ, AP chem, and calc ab manageable in junior year

Probably a stupid question

But yeah

Taking ap world and AP CSA right now

[glossy kite]

yeah it does im taking it next semester which is just in a few days

[stray fern]

Take it again next year to (if you can)

[valid cliff]

Hi I really need some help on my course selection for next year please. What I plan on taking is Ap bio
Ap physics 1
Ap lang / honors English 3
Honors algebra 2
Ap euro
SDC pre calculus
Ap chem
Do you think it would be a good idea to take the three ap sciences together. What are your suggestions?

[flat seal]

My Course selection for my sophomore year (next year) is :
AP Spanish
U.S history Honors
English 2
Chemistry
Algebra 2
Currently for my freshmen year I’m taking all honors and I’ve seen how difficult it is to manage all my work so for my sophomore year I’ve toned it down a little thoughts?

[quiet arrow]

you can double major

even triple major

you just need to fulfill the requirements of them

some unis have different rules though

like they can’t overlap too much

some don’t allow it altogether but most do

[vagrant solar]

Should I take ap bio if I wanna be a physicist?

[wise forge]

Yeah; Biology is a college requirement, so AP Bio can help so you don’t need to take another Biology class.

[wise forge]

Yeah those are good, though i’m not sure what Computer Science has to do with Sports Medicine lmao.

[wise forge]

Is recommend, start studying pre calc now, so you can go more in-depth into Calculus. It will help reduce the pain of going from a summer precalc course to BC.

I have a self study AB Book I am using while going through Honors Math 3 at my school which is essentially honors precalculus

[wise forge]

I am not familiar with GCSE, however, I do know that Law Schools, at least the ones in America, like to see diversity and psychology will look good when applying.

I plan on going into law school, and I’ll be double majoring in Psych and Poli Sci at Uni

[hollow finch]

Looks pretty solid

[fast wolf]

no way i portrayed shafer for my school

[fast wolf]

oh good luck to you

[wise forge]

ou

[wise forge]

Thanks 😊

[fast wolf]

THATS SICK

[wise forge]

It is! but they need parents to do it bc students can’t for some reason so

I would want to take a weekend as a team bonding exercise to do some woodwork lnfao

[fast wolf]

i understand their concern but that sucks :/

[wise forge]

we’re mock trial tho, we know how waivers work lmao

We got to build stuff for band with a waiver just saying

Also, fun fact, the demolished our old court room.

It was a portable and they removed all of the portables sooo

no more court room

[undone grove]

Do you think AP Physics 1 is worth doing if you do not have a lot of knowledge about physics?

[brittle grail]

should I do apush next year if I’m also doing ap calc bc and ap bio?

[glossy kite]

just took it cuz I had nothing else to add

[tight trellis]

ik thinking abt taking AP Chem in place of any level physics. Especially since I want to go to med school abroad. Should I just take physics at a community college or not even bother?

[past glade]

In junior year (I’m presuming you’re talking about junior year because you’re taking APUSH), most people take 4-5 APs so if you think you can manage the rigor I say go for it!

[vagrant solar]

Is APUSH really worth it like what if I’m taking ap Chem instead of it bc I wanna go into a stem career?

[brittle grail]

it’s actually my sophomore year

at my school we do ap world Junior year

[covert linden]

I had to basically learn the role the day of due to being an alternate. Didn't get impeached and actually got decent scores 💪

[fast wolf]

that’s nice!

[brittle grail]

ty for the advice tho!

[past glade]

It’s considered an easy course - so if you want an easy AP take it. But again like I said- it’s up to what you want, what you can handle and what you’re aiming for

[undone grove]

Do you think it is worth taking AP Physics 1 if I have not taken a physics class before? I was thinking about taking Honors Physics, but they recommended me to do AP Physics 1 instead. I am also taking AP Chemistry along with Honors Physics Or AP Physics 1.

[maiden spire]

Is it worth it to take geometry over the summer

[austere tulip]

i don't think apush wold be considered easy

[floral loom]

Do you think AP econ, AP chem, and calc ab manageable in junior year

@here

[austere tulip]

yup

econ's not too hard

neither is ab

so u should be good

[floral loom]

Yeah I heard at my school AP econ is really easy

But calc ab is kinda hard

Thanks

[past glade]

Perspective again. Most people I’ve spoken to have said APUSH is probably one of the easiest AP history classes

[austere tulip]

Might be ur high school

because apush is actually one of the hardest(considering the actual exam, the pass rates, and the surveys)

world would be the easiest

[wise talon]

hello

does anyone here know anything about AP psychology and/or taking psychology as a major in college

[rustic flume]

I’m currently deciding between applying for business management or software development, I think both are great but I’m don’t know which one should I consider

[past glade]

Psychology is a really good major in college

The professions in psychology and it’s commonality has been growing greatly

I’d also recommend anyone interested in psychology to research about psychiatry

Often two mixed up professions

It’s best you have an idea of what you’re interested in with regards to psych

Take AP psych either way

Because it’s good to explore the subject

[copper coral]

Should I take World Geography over the summer to get an extra elective, or is it better to take it during school?

Going to be a Freshmen next year, so

[wise talon]

i want to be a forensic psychologist

[steady ingot]

Is there anyone who’s taken differential equations or linear algebra

[mortal osprey]

I'm done shortlisting my uni's to apply for bachelors/undergraduate can anyone give me feedback on it ?

[past glade]

Then see if your school offers any forensic courses as well

It’ll help

And definitely take AP psychology

[cinder gorge]

is computer science A worth it?

[undone grove]

I am a rising Valedictorian, and I want to keep it that way. Do you think this schedule is good for someone that wants to be a Pharmacist?

JUNIOR YEAR:
AP Lang
AP Chem
AP Physics 1
Honors Pre-Calc
AP Gov
Spanish IV
Choir

SENIOR YEAR:
AP Lit (Thinking about changing it to Duel Enrollment English)
AP Bio
AP Calc BC
AP US History
Dual Enrollment Psychology
Financial Literacy
Choir

[wintry chasm]

should I take AP bio or AP chem in sophomore year? I plan on taking AP calc AB/BC, AP world history and maybe AP human geo, is it manageable?
Advantages/disadvantages with the IB program?

[wise forge]

its good- but man; your senior yesr is going to be terrible. Def consider Dual Enrollment English over lit

You want to kind of have a hard hard hard easy pathway to school meaning your rigor tapers down by your senior year

[hollow finch]

Take AP Human Geography duriing the school year if your school offers it

[copper coral]

It does

But my counselor kept saying you do not want to take this class, and literally forced me to not pick it

But I can change it now because I still have 10 days to change it and I’m at home and she can’t force me to change it

Like my counselor isn’t my parent so like I’m just mad that she didn’t let me take AP human geography

The main reason why she did not let me choose. It is because she said it is a very hard class.

[austere tulip]

no it isn't

ap is easy

ap hug

it's literally the easiest ap class

[austere tulip]

I'm doing AP chem soph so u should do that too

That's cool ur doing calc sophomore year

and honestly I see no point in taking HUG

do ap world

but u don't need to do hug

its useless

and very low level

unless of course u want sommething to do with that field

[wintry chasm]

Ok thank you

[soft jacinth]

Guys how’s this for a Junior Schedule:

AP Amer Gov
AP Macroeconomics
Law

Math 4 Honors
Math 5 Honors
AP Statistics

English 3

Advanced Biology
Astronomy & Space Science

And Lifes Issues

[austere tulip]

that's a lot of courses

but sure

[soft jacinth]

Its usually the amount u have at my school

[silent tinsel]

Guys I have a question

Do you think I can do 4 aps in junior year and 5 college classes(de)

Is it possible

[wise talon]

if your school allowed that, you could, but that sounds like a lot of pressure on you

Dobby wouldn’t want your mental health to get worse because of all the stress

but you should do whatever you think is best for you. and remember that your well-being always comes first

[copper coral]

I want to become a Surgeon and learn about the human body as my career. I am about to start High School and I am wondering if I made the right 4-year plan for High school. Is this path good?

9th grade:

• English I KAP (KAP is another name for Katy-Advaced Placement. It works like Acadmic ELA, expect, it shows you are taking harder English but not AP English)
• Geometry GT (Gifted and Talented)
• Biology KAP
• AP Human Geography
• Art 1
• Principles of Health Science A
• Japanese A

10th grade

• English 2 KAP
• Algerbra 2 GT
• Chemistry KAP
• AP Human History
• Japanese 2A/2B
• Off-Campus PE
• Health Theory

11th grade

•AP English
• Pre-calculus GT
• AP Physics
• AP US History
• Debate
• Medical Terminology
• (Undecided, I need some suggestions on some people)

12th grade

• AP English Literature
• AP Calculas
• AP Biology
• Anatomy and Physiology
• AP US Government/Marco-Economics (I might switch this class with something else. Because I don’t know if this would be a easy class)
• Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) A/B
• (Undecided, I need suggestions from people)

If there is any thing that might be helpful to me, I would take advice and reflect on it. Also, you guys can also share some ideas on what is a good choice of class for my undecided ones. I just hope this four-year plan is going to help me become a Surgeon 😎

[cinder gorge]

If i were u, i wouldnt do this

I would never do this lol

[copper coral]

Huh?

[mint thorn]

It doesn’t really scream surgeon so maybe take courses over the summer to remedy that

I have no clue what the other person is saying

[copper coral]

Lol, same

[copper coral]

Ah,

What do you propose?

Because there are two things that are really cool that might scream suergob

1. This summer I will go to this Medical Center in Boston to do like intensive work in a hospital and guide us to surgery’s and etc. At the end, they give us like one AP college credit along with a regoniztion that I am approaching the medical field

[tardy geyser]

It’s probably harder to do 4 ap classes you should probably focus more on extracurriculars/ balance the both

[copper coral]

2. At Senior year, I am going a side school that teaches me how to prepare for the Medical field and hospitals, and etc.

[mint thorn]

Start a medical club at your school, or take Latin or something

[copper coral]

Ah, alright

Wait, wdym by take Latin or something?

I am already taking a LOTE, “Japanese”

[mint thorn]

yeah but Japanese has like no application to medicine

[copper coral]

Lol, OK, I see what you mean now

[mint thorn]

I mean you can still do Japanese if it’s something you really want

But like add a science class in your junior year

[copper coral]

My interest of learning Japanese is never going to leave me 😂

[copper coral]

Yep, very true

[mint thorn]

Japanese is such a pain to learn honestly

There’s like 3 alphabets

[copper coral]

I have heard

[mint thorn]

And like a billion ways to say hi or bye or thanks or sorry

[copper coral]

Katakana, Kanji, Hiragana

[mint thorn]

yeeeep

[copper coral]

Lol, agreeable

[mint thorn]

I can read parts of it and I know how to say all levels of sorry and thanks

And that’s allll I know lmao

[copper coral]

That is why I am debating on taking it or not

[mint thorn]

I mean do it if you want

[copper coral]

Lol

Yeah, but it might be hard to learn, however, I have a head start because I already started and I know a couple of words and a few letters, but I mean, the class is online, no teacher would guide me to it, only one of my friend is taking it, and it doesn’t help out my Medical chances a bit

But, I really have a interest in it, and I want to go to Japan one day and just, idk,

They speak 3 language and it makes no sense

[austere tulip]

oof. toxic

[austere tulip]

This is good

I would do AP bio rather than physics for medical

And I like that u are passionate about a language

I like that u have many medical courses as well

Yes this is a good schedule regardless what some toxic people say

I would just suggest to do extracurriculars as well along with this schedule, summer programs, etc.

Internships r really good

[cinder gorge]

???

Im just saying that i wont do that, whats toxic about it?

[copper coral]

Lol

Dw, Duck

[copper coral]

You can do bio instead of Physics?!

[copper coral]

Oh, hell yeah, I got three internships ahead of me

One this summer, one in 11th grade and one in 12th

[copper coral]

What extracurriculares do you prefer

[weary gust]

Is AP calc BC worth it in the long run

[austere tulip]

No I recommend that for u

since u want medical

[austere tulip]

that's good

[austere tulip]

HOSA is a good one

[cinder gorge]

Y not?

[wise forge]

hopefully cus ima do it next year

I know my friend got a 4 on it so she gets only Calc 1 credit… funny part is that she also took calc 3 and differential equations… so they might not give her those 2 credits bc of her ap test 💀

going to John’s Hopskins in early decision

so she’s missing out on 9 units bc of a 4 💀

[copper coral]

In 12th grade?

Like, calc in high school?

If that is what your talking about, I recommend it, your going to be set for college and the colleges will be impressed

[copper coral]

Hey, I have a question. Should I take a Social Studies class in 12th grade? This is my schedule btw,

[vocal locust]

am i gonna kill myself if i take AP Bio, AP Physics, and AP Literature next year? Porbably gonna take CP for the rest of my subjects except for language and electives?

[severe meadow]

It really depends on how you manage and balance your studies. Also if you're used to dealing with finishing complicated stuff or if you're willing to make changes to your daily routine to ensure you get the grades you aimed for.

[vocal locust]

alr ty, its gonna be a hard jump from what im used to but i'll figure it out ❤️

[severe meadow]

Some people will give you mixed or opposite sides of different opinions. But at the end of the day, only you can answer your question. I wish you good luck! For sure...nothing is impossible! Stay slay 💫💜

[vocal locust]

fr slaying is key

i clearly have the grades to get into it cus not many juniors in my school can take APs

[copper coral]

If you have time, can you help me out with my question,

[severe meadow]

Good luck! Heads high up and work diligently 💜

[severe meadow]

Of course! Let me read it first. I'm gonna backread 💜

[copper coral]

Oh, Thxs

[vocal locust]

tyty

[severe meadow]

I'm gonna dm u 💜

[weary gust]

In 11th and 12th yeah

I’m debating on whether or not I should do HL math for IB

And for that you need to take the calc bc program which also gives a concordant score for calc ab

[cobalt shuttle]

I would love to take ap physics C next year but my county says its “too intense” and doesnt let any schools here offer it. So now instead my school is going to have just mechanics for the whole year and is making us self study e&m? This is complete shenanigans dude

[cobalt shuttle]

I’m doing worse man you can survive, it just eats away at you

I did it because I knew i could, but i never considered how it would affect me

You can get it all done but at what cost

[vocal locust]

damn

[cobalt shuttle]

I’d say the concern is not can you do it or not, it’s should you

We can all do it

But only some of us are crazy enough to actually attempt it

[vocal locust]

😭

[cinder gorge]

Y u doing ap bio and physics

[vocal locust]

idk i prob won’t ngl

i’m prob gonna take physics in senior year

i’m crazy but not completely idiotic

[carmine lily]

This is what i’m taking as a freshman: AAC Chem, AAC english 1, AP human, AAC Geometry, AAC Algebra 2, Theyare production, AAC spanish 3

is that okay?

i’ve already taken spanish 1 and 2 and i also have taken bio alr

[cold knoll]

Hi! I need some help on choosing courses. I'm currently taking regular Chemistry and planning on taking AP Physics(for sophmore year) . Do you think I'll be ok taking that class without taking regular physics? Also, which AP Physics class should I start out with? If you can help me, I would appreciate it so much.

[tight wedge]

okay so at my school you need to take italian four in order to be able to take ap italian and i want to take italian four at a community college so i get the credit then do ap italian (does that make sense? ill do it over the summer before senior year then do ap) however like my community college has elementary italian i and ii and intermediate italian i and ii so im wondering if intermediate italian ii is basically italian four

[keen burrow]

Hi! I’m a sophomore, going to be a junior. I think ur pretty advanced! My school has chem for juniors and physics for sophomores, but I took physics as a freshman. AP Physics is a junior class for me, which I’m taking next year. I know it’s an extremely note and math heavy rigorous class, but if you’re good with math and equations, you should be fine without having taken normal physics first. However, I don’t think I can help on which AP physics class to take since my school only has one. Hopefully this helped a little though!

Hello! Thank you so much for your help. Your response is very helpful to me. Thanks for taking the time to write all of this for me! 🙂 🙏

[cold knoll]

I am currently taking AP Calculus BC this year, so would Physics 1 or Physics C be a better option? If anyone has taken these classes , please let me know! Thanks everyone! 😃

[vocal locust]

Physics C

physics 1 is kinda useless if you can take physics c right away imo

but maybe like learn a lol physics

*lil

[cold knoll]

Thank you so much for your reply! 🙂 Another question, is it possible to self-study for AP Chemistry (I'm currently taking regular Chemistry)?

[vocal locust]

honestly, they are pretty similar

you can self study it, it’ll just go more in depth so yeah

[elder patrol]

Any advice about applying to an early college high school, you leave with an associates degree and a high school diploma

I want to apply but im on the fence about it

[hardy kernel]

not recommended

[hardy kernel]

depends on ur future plans

[rugged widget]

Should I take physics chemistry and maths?

[buoyant snow]

what math

Hello everyone my school provides AP human geo in 9th grade. I’m a rising 9th grader and was wondering if that class is a good class to take, and if so what should I expect from it

[proud leaf]

I’m in it rn

It’s not crazy at all

But

[proud leaf]

Make sure you take good notes and review vocab

Tbh it’s like any other honors class

And make sure you kinda associate vocab words with examples

@topaz whale

[copper coral]

I am in the same ordeal, however, I recommend it as you only have one AP class and it would prep you to worst to come

You just need to embrace your hand with a lotttttttttttttt of writing and taking a lot of notes

The only hw you will be getting in that class is either write some notes or review it

Nothing crazy, it is just a time consuming class that isn't really hard

I am zoned at Katy ISD so maybe different schools does it differently

[digital cloak]

I took physics, life science and geo. What would u recommend me on how i study?

[warped jewel]

Yes if you want to do engineering or something related to them

Really depends on what you want to do in the future. I'm personally taking both

[warped jewel]

I strongly recommend human geography. I learned how humans change the environment around them, population trends and other issues, looking at the world from a leas negative but more factual perspective, climate change, and pop culture

Are some things I learned about in the grade 12 human geography course at my school

Idk what your AP human geo consists of but you can expect some of these

I analyzed and compared population graphs and trends between countries as well as looking into issues and policies

It all depends on whether your teacher was good or not. My human geography teacher is really good and classmates are super fun, sad to leave that class next semester.

Human geography is not hard but you really have to put in the effort lol

[copper coral]

Very true!

Yeah, the only thing you would learn is how the geography changed by humans, migration, very small portion of politics and other stuff

@warped jewel is correct, all of those stuff is on Human Geography

[warped jewel]

more or less yes

I strongly recommend if your teacher for it is great

[austere tulip]

AP world history is better

in my opinion

[copper coral]

You can only do that in 10th grade my dear sire

But AP World History

You really need to do that

[austere tulip]

no

Im in 9th

I'm doing ap world

[copper coral]

. . . Huh?!?!

Which state?!

[austere tulip]

Yeah world history is really important

[copper coral]

Very!

[austere tulip]

And I think the essay writing skills are more useful

like compared to hug

[copper coral]

Yep!

[austere tulip]

IL

We could choose between world history and hug

our class is half sophomores andd half freshmen

[copper coral]

Oh,

[austere tulip]

i recommend doing it straight up because hug is a really fake ap in my opinion

[copper coral]

I used to live there

Do you like it down there?

[austere tulip]

Like it doesn't really help in terms of prepping for ap rigor

yeah

[copper coral]

But TX I think has it in 10tj grade

[austere tulip]

I don't think that's how it works

schools

do it differently

states don't decide what grades can take what aps

school district usually do

so it might be ur school district

[copper coral]

Wait, so if you are doing World in 9th grade what are you taking in 10th?

[austere tulip]

euro

[copper coral]

Because there is only one optio-

[austere tulip]

that's the whole point of doing that

[copper coral]

Euro?!

[austere tulip]

yeah

but actually there's two options

euro and psych

[copper coral]

Euro is what again?

[austere tulip]

Ap european history

[copper coral]

Just making sure I didn’t mix it up with European something,

OK, my school definitely doesn’t do that I think

[austere tulip]

oh

is your school one that limits the aps u can do

[copper coral]

Lemme check the course selection

Um, sire

There is only World Geography and AP Human Geography

There is only two AP classes to choose, Computer Science and Human Geography

[copper coral]

How much APs do you have in Freshman

[wary plover]

My school we couldn’t take AP’s

Schools are so different each district

[rancid merlin]
