Yoo nice

copper coral
#

Oh,

#

Mine is a straight 4.0

rancid merlin
#

Same

copper coral
#

100s in every test and quiz in Math

rancid merlin
#

I have a 4.7

copper coral
#

But High School will bite me

copper coral
rancid merlin
#

Take AP bio

rancid merlin
copper coral
#

I can’t

rancid merlin
#

Why?

copper coral
#

Only in 12tj grade

rancid merlin
#

Ohh

#

lol

copper coral
#

9th grade is only Regular

rancid merlin
#

I can take 3 APs in 9th

copper coral
#

My school is a bunch of BS

rancid merlin
#

it isnt that bad

copper coral
rancid merlin
copper coral
rancid merlin
#

SAME

#

They just want to fail or something

#

They tell us "Not to waste our time"

wary plover
#

tf I have to take bio then chem then honors chem then AP Chem

rancid merlin
#

I'm taking AP bio now and AP Chem next

#

Freshmen btw

#

You?

wary plover
#

sum bs right there

rancid merlin
#

Lmfao

copper coral
wary plover
#

plus i cant even take Calc BC because I didn't take this class in middle school

copper coral
copper coral
#

I gotta take fucking Statics because it gets me to Calc

#

And I gotta take PreCalc

wary plover
#

stats is useful and easy

copper coral
#

Even tho that isn’t true

copper coral
wary plover
#

yeah

copper coral
#

I will never curse out Stat ever again

wary plover
#

if you want to take calc and having problems with stats idk man seems odd

copper coral
#

Wdym?

wary plover
#

Stats is easy if your having troubles maybe don't take calc

copper coral
#

Can I upload SFW pictures about my schedule here to make people see if I made the right choice?

copper coral
wary plover
#

?

copper coral
#

OK

copper coral
#

The consular picking stat for me was a good reason

wary plover
#

oh ok

copper coral
#

OK, first is my core classes

#

I wanna become a neurosurgeon

#

Are these core classes good for me?

#

Also, for 12th grade, it isn’t shown, but I am doing AP Biology

#

And for math, idk why it shows Geometry for 9th grade, the consular will fix the issue

#

I just need to pass the class for it to work

#

If I fail it then Geometry is still going to be there

rancid merlin
#

@wary plover Im doing AP calc bc now

rancid merlin
copper coral
rancid merlin
#

You won't fail

copper coral
rancid merlin
#

Ap Calc is easy

copper coral
#

Really?!

rancid merlin
#

Yea

copper coral
#

I expected a different answer

rancid merlin
#

Look at the curriculum

#

Just a couple of formulas and like Algebra one but glorified

#

That's it

copper coral
#

So, even tho I have straight 100s for Alg 1 and Geometry, I will still be good for Calc

rancid merlin
#

Yea

copper coral
#

I thought I would fail,

rancid merlin
#

Just do pre-calc first

#

Free honors credit

#

Also a pre-req to AP Calc

copper coral
copper coral
rancid merlin
#

What state are you in?

copper coral
#

TX = Texas

#

No reason why I sent a photo of this

#

But I did

#

Yep!

rancid merlin
#

Nice

copper coral
#

Thxs, it makes me feel like this photo had a purpose in life

rancid merlin
#

Lol

copper coral
#

😂

rancid merlin
#

Those chunky Graphing calculators are a must

copper coral
#

I am going crazy rn, sorry about myself,

OK, now I really need help,

copper coral
#

My teachers every year teach us how to use every bit of it

rancid merlin
#

I havent bought it yet

#

Suffering rn

copper coral
#

Even if we are little kids in middle school

copper coral
rancid merlin
#

No

#

100$ to rent per year

copper coral
#

When you grad they give you the calculator

copper coral
rancid merlin
#

WHAT

#

LUCKY

#

OUR SCHOOL IS EXPENSIVE

copper coral
#

🤕

next sparrow
#

is grade 11 philosophy worth taking?

copper coral
#

Depends, what is your dream job?

#

@next sparrow

next sparrow
copper coral
#

OoO, OK, someone else needs to answer this

#

I am debating if that is good or not

#

Please don’t get the answer from me

#

I would also ask that question

next sparrow
#

lol

#

what about psychology>?

copper coral
#

YES!

#

If you don’t mind me asking, which grade or level will you teach?

#

To gain a better understanding of if it would be a good idea or not

#

In my opinion, not matter what levels psychology is amazing,

#

But I am not good with guiding people to the right path to teaching, so confirm with someone else

#

I am 75% sure this is OK

next sparrow
next sparrow
#

it's also anthropology, and sociology

copper coral
#

Sociology = YES!

#

But what is anthropology?

copper coral
copper coral
next sparrow
next sparrow
#

what that is

next sparrow
copper coral
copper coral
#

I remember what it is

#

And it is good for teaching

#

I will explain it

next sparrow
next sparrow
warped jewel
#

I've never taken philosophy though. I take human geography

copper coral
#

So, my brain is trying it’s best to explain this the easiest way possible but basically, it is a class where you understand human behavior and humanity. You understand what goes on with the human and levels of stress and help them feel safe. Kind of like a Mental Health Consular, this would make you become an amazing teacher with your students because of your understanding of the student!

warped jewel
copper coral
#

I hope I did

copper coral
#

I didn’t take it, my friends have though,

copper coral
warped jewel
#

Uh I'm not exactly sure if that defines anthropology

next sparrow
warped jewel
#

That's definitely not anthropology

warped jewel
#

Or is that defining philosophy

next sparrow
#

wait i think they meant sociology

warped jewel
#

Bruh

#

Yeah that's sociology

warped jewel
copper coral
copper coral
#

As long as you enjoy it!

#

For me, if a job is more boring than high school, it's just not the job

warped jewel
#

I had a pretty fun job as a sail camp staff

next sparrow
#

you did that during the summer?

copper coral
#

And I will say this once, isn’t Anthropology and Socialogy close to the same thing? I keep thinking it is

warped jewel
#

Yeah

copper coral
#

Oh,

warped jewel
next sparrow
#

wait so kinda like history?

next sparrow
copper coral
#

Yes

next sparrow
copper coral
#

I thought I said that?

#

Or I didn’t

next sparrow
#

i was trying my best to avoi8d any history stuff..

next sparrow
warped jewel
#

Sociology doesn't seem to offer much. Geography is great too

copper coral
#

Like author history

warped jewel
#

Philosophers are history, not philosophy.

copper coral
#

Or like thoughts

warped jewel
#

Philosophy is eternal

#

Until it's not

copper coral
copper coral
next sparrow
next sparrow
warped jewel
#

Me personally would recommend reading this manga called Vagabond. It's very philosophical and peak historical fiction. I love manga so much

warped jewel
#

My school doesn't offer much

warped jewel
#

but human geography is cool

#

I see social studies as a fun academic course so just do what you like most, really.

next sparrow
next sparrow
copper coral
#

No history required!

#

I will do a quick run-down

warped jewel
#

@next sparrow

#

my teacher is really good tbf

next sparrow
warped jewel
#

I'd exchange hello and goodbyes with my human geo teacher quite often

#

she doesn't even make us use MLA 8 or some other citation format. A link is all that's required in her class

next sparrow
#

she was such an easy grader smh

warped jewel
#

Mine grades on the easier side

next sparrow
next sparrow

#

In all honesty, I don't know how much philosophy or any other socials course will benefit you in your university admissions when pursuing a teacher career

copper coral
#

Teachers are really dependent on grades

next sparrow
next sparrow

#

But I can help

warped jewel
#

Are you not allowed have a free block or 2?

copper coral
#

Same as Yosh, I think

warped jewel
#

My school offers yearbook, community service for a teacher, peer tutor to fill in free blocks

next sparrow

I'm a peer tutor for a grade 8 science class. I'll be relying on this for a letter of recommendation

Biology pairs well with chemistry

spare badge
#

math and physics / bio and chem

#

basically

warped jewel
#

Physics and Biology is just such a yucky combo

spare badge
warped jewel
#

All 3 is needed to be a doctor

next sparrow

but is physics even useful..

spare badge
#

bio is rote memorization alweijfa

neon stag

Chemistry is the most flexible but physics is probably the best standalone

spare badge
next sparrow

i didnt hate it tho so i took the ap class

warped jewel
# next sparrow is it?

It's just something you can't go wrong with unless you're sure you're doing arts or literature

#

or like social sciences

#

Bio standalone is just yikes

neon stag

Physics and Bio is the most ridiculous dual science combo 💀

maybe part 2 is slow paced or smth

A cool side character that steals the show for me would be Roy Mustang. Edward Elric is still my favorite in my favourite anime though

CSM pt 1 has a really solid cast. CSM pt 2 I'm enjoying more if we count the same # of chapters

Is two APs (euro and chem) and one honors (math)class for a sophomore doable?

Or should I do honors chem and also honors English?

You’ll be fine if you allocate some time studying ever day

cold knoll
#

Hello everyone. I'm currently choosing courses for ELA. I'm between AP Lit and AP lang, which one should I take first (as a sophomore)?

slim oracle
#

wow, as a sophomore?

cold knoll
#

Yes, should I not take it sophomore year?

slim oracle
#

i wish i could give you advice, but I’ve taken neither, so ill leave it to the professionals

cold knoll
slim oracle
#

You’re welcome =)

cold knoll
slim oracle
#

us history and stats

cold knoll
slim oracle
#

I took us history as a freshman, worst decision ever though

cold knoll
#

Really? Why? I thought APUSH is a good class

slim oracle
#

for my freshman brain not so much

#

I should’ve at least waited until my sophomore year

cold knoll
#

Oh. How's stats?

slim oracle
#

I actually kind of enjoy it

#

I just hate writing out paragraphs for it though

cold knoll
#

Oh, you have already taken Calc?

slim oracle
#

nope

cold knoll
#

Oh so how did you take stats then? Like after Algebra 2 or pre-calc?

slim oracle
#

I started alg 1 freshman year because I was never put in it in 8th grade

#

After alg 2

cold knoll
#

Oh ok makes sense. Sorry if my questions sound stupid, I'm a freshman

slim oracle
#

well a lot of people take geometry or alg 2 freshman year I’ve found

#

and no worries it’s fine

cold knoll
#

Thanks! :))

slim oracle
#

of course :)

past glade
#

You’d have to take English 2 sophomore year

past glade
#

But it also differs from school to school

#

I’m just wondering how you’d have access to select AP lit/lang because English usually (at least in my school) doesn’t give much of a wiggle room to double block or advance ahead.

#

How do you guys think of the class pressure with these course: DE Courses: principle of microeconomics and 2 cs courses
Ap courses: Ap lit,Ap stats, Ap bio, Ap chemistry or Ap physics

cold knoll
# past glade Not typically

Got it @past glade .I 'll probably take it junior and senior year. For some reason, my school has made these AP courses available to sophomores 🤷 . Thank you so much for the advice! :))

So, we have a VERY wide selection of science classes at our school (for some reason) and were getting near course selection and im not sure what to pick. I can choose between astronomy, marine science and chemistry. all are full year classes worth one credit. im really indecisive bc i love science and i wanna do all of them but i can only pick one. so id like some other peoples' perspectives

Should I take Calc BC or AB, I have a 98 in precalc honors(advanced) rn

does this seem like too much for junior year:

  • advanced 2d art i honors
  • advanced 2d art ii honors
  • trigonometry honors
  • apush
  • ap english language
  • music theory i
  • ap chemistry
  • choir
  • pe and health
    i plan on self studying for the ap spanish lang exam too and taking italian 4 and pre calc at a community college so i can take the ap’s for both senior year

It seems healthy, but I would like to warn you that many of my friends have told me that AP Chem is quite difficult

Precalc -> AB Precalc honors -> BC

usually honors covers intro AB stuff so for BC you’ll have an easier time

Hey guys Im a sophomore deciding my junior schedule

AP us history

we used to have a rly good ap bio teacher but she left and i was really familiar with her. Our ap bio teacher now is a new teacher who is a former vet. Also pretty much everyone ik, sophomores and juniors are planning to take ap bio next year. I'm also taking advanced anatomy and physiology rn and doing well so that might help me with ap bio next year because theres a lot of similar stuff

#

On the other hand, ik AP chem is much harder and not many ppl ik are taking it next year. But I do know that we have a rly good ap chem teacher at my school.

#

I'm also planning to apply to some research summer programs so do you guys know which ap science would be better??

I have a couple questions CS related.

FYI, I am thinking of skipping CSP because the students at my school say that the class is nothing like the exam and a lot of extra time is spent outside of class prepping for the exam.

  • Can I get away with taking only one of the two, if so, is there a "better" class to take between CSP and CSA?

  • Does jumping to CSA look bad on a transcript?

  • Does anyone have experience jumping into CSA directly and what was that like?

  • Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

#

Hey! I skipped CSP and took CSA, and it honestly didn't really make a difference. CSA entirely focuses on learning how to program in java (for beginners). Although some prior knowledge would be beneficial, that class can easily be taken without CSP.

#

Also, yes! The CSP exam is totally different from the CSA exam. CSP focuses more on the basics(algorithms, networks, etc.) and requires little coding. CSA, on the other hand, is all coding in java. Hope this helps, let me know if have any questions! :))

AP CSP seems like a given from what i have heard
Also AP CHEM might be easier, im already taking an AP Chem course and have my own AP Chem ap exam preparation book. ill probably borrow one of the AP chem teacher's textbooks as well and study it. she teachers CP(regular chem) as well im her top student ive gotten 100% on everything shes gave me and she also gives me the AP chem worksheets sometimes. basically cp chem is my easiest subjects ever and the teacher likes me and i already am learning AP CHEM

so like macro is kinda harder but it really depends on your teacher. I thought micro was easier, but my friend (at another school) thought macro was easier

Hey so I’m in 8th grade and we’re selecting which classes to take. (I don’t really know how this works, sorry if I sound stupid) Did anyone take Honors or A Global Themes and if so, is it mostly current events and politics? I love social studies and I have been getting A+s in it for years and really want to take Honors, but I have next to zero interest in anything that happened in the past 50 years. What should I do?

i feel like ap chem would make me@more unique

also there's a chance i won't get to even take ap chem senior year then cuz of classes being full

well AP Chem is wayyy harder

and also the thing about summer research programs is important to me

take what's more like your interests honestly

and at my school people say they finish all ap@chem hw in class cuz it's 2 hours every single day

like if you're going to be a chemist obviously take ap chem

prob take bio then

but chem is rly important in premed

yeah but bio is obviously more important

true

but isnt organic chem the big big premed killer

What community college classes do you think would be useful for STEM majors?

# fluid silo What community college classes do you think would be useful for STEM majors?

I’m currently taking dual credit at a community college, what I can recommend is tackling high level courses based on your major, for example; I am taking General Chemistry through organic chemistry 2 as well as university Physics 1 and 2 at the college because I’m aiming for either Chemistry or Theoretical Physics as a major. Focus on high level classes in your prime major choice for the best chance of success

#

Of course, it’s also a good idea to tackle your Gen Ed if you are going for an associates, but if you are doing dual enrollment with High School, focus on those advanced classes, those are what colleges care about.

so im trying to do something and i need to complete these classes in 6 college semesters

#

but the catch is that i have to do it in 6 semesters or less and i can only do up to 11 credits at a time per semester, the number in parentheses is how much credits cost per semesters

#

i need to complete all the boxed ones and for physics, it can be either phys 222c or phys 202c

formal charm
#

it can take 6 ish years to get a PhD if I am correct

#

looks like it can be up to 8

#

As a Physics PhD usually the jobs that you can have range from working as a professor, working as a researcher, working for a private institution, to even working in math-related jobs. I've looked into it very little, because I still could possibly major in Chemistry

Is it advisable to take ap physics and honors chem in my sophomore year of highschool

And is it advisable to take ap comp Sci, ap physics and ap world history in my sophomore year of highschool

I mean are 3 APs advisable

???

???????

tropic trail

have you taken aps before, and which ones?

Nope first time

tropic trail

i would def reccomend going for 1-2 ap classes then

shell zephyr
#

Oh and should I take ap comp sci, engineering and robotics in the same year

tropic trail
#

ap world history is loaded with alot of content and it will sculpt your mind to deal with harder classes down the line. honors chem is not as bad but i reccomend paying attention to the first topics bc chem builds up on itself. I dont know too much about ap comp sci but i suggest taking world history, comp sci sophmore year and save physics for senior year/junior year

tropic trail

Oh

#

What do u plan on majoring in

environmental science

#

i need physics but not engineering so thats why. im taking regular physics senior year

Oh

tropic trail
#

if you had taken ap classes before, then the transition to 3 aps would have been suitable

#

but i was someone who took 1 ap class freshmen and sophmore year, and then 4 aps junior year and i do not reccomend that jump

#

i always tell people to do the stair method. One ap freshman, 2 sophmore, 3 junior, 4 senior. It is completley ok if you did not take aps freshman year but just know that a jump in the number of ap classes will definately put pressure on you

shell zephyr
#

Oh

Thank you so much for your advice

Hello everyone! I'm choosing courses for sophomore year and have a few questions to ask. My highschool requires 1 full year of art credit and 1 full year of Physical Education. In my freshmen year, I already have 0.5 credit of art and PE (since I took 1 semester class for each of them). My question is: for sophomore year, should take another semester of art and PE to finish the credits or should I take more difficult classes (such as AP) and take them later? Please let me know, thank you so much! ❤️

wintry cedar
#

I think you should just take another semester to finish the credits so you don't have to worry about it later on. That's what I would do.

#

But at your school 1 semester is equivalent to half a credit? For me, one semester is a full credit.
