course-selection

[worn hollow]

So I have to drop either lunch, Spanish, or ASL

[austere tulip]

what's PBS?

Oh ok I have 7 per semester including pe

[worn hollow]

Principles of Biomedical science

[austere tulip]

oh ok

and then what are the 3 other classes?

[worn hollow]

Well, this is my schedule atm:
STEM lit
PBS
Spanish
Lunch
Geometry
STEM bio
ASL

[austere tulip]

oh ok

and that's 7 classes?

so why do u need to drop one

[worn hollow]

Because this year I didn’t take humanities, next year I need to take AP world

[austere tulip]

oh

wait ur 7 classes include lunch?

[worn hollow]

Yea Lunch is it’s own period

[austere tulip]

oh for us we have 8 periods

but 7 classes

cuz one's lunch

[worn hollow]

Oh! I have 9 periods, 6 classes

[austere tulip]

huhhh?

what are the three other periods

[worn hollow]

Lunch, advisement, ASE

[austere tulip]

ok

I'd recommend giving up ASL

unless u need it for a major or to communicate with a relative

[sour forge]

im very conflicted between apush or dc us history

im taking like 5.5 other aps + starting a club + officer for another club + potentially track + sat prep + i want to focus on my own passions (which i dont think ill have much time for but its ok) so i dont know if ill have time for apush, but dc is ap weighted so idk

also im trying to have a stem major in college (rice is reach school) so idk if ill need it

[austere tulip]

yeah that's good

do dc

if u get the ap credit

do dc

[sour forge]

im also on the edge about ap precal

[austere tulip]

do ap precal

really ez

free a

ap

[sour forge]

not ap credit its just ap weighted on gpa

and also ap spanish im on the edge abt

[austere tulip]

yeah ik

weighted is good

[sour forge]

cuz its time consuming idk if ill have the time for it

[austere tulip]

cuz u can get credit for dc

[austere tulip]

I would do it

[sour forge]

but i also want to carry through with foreign language cuz itll look good on apps

[austere tulip]

what are ur aps

[sour forge]

the only thing abt taking all of these aps is that i dont want to kill myself next year

[austere tulip]

dw I'm doing 6 aps junior year

if u play it right

u won't kill urself

[sour forge]

ap physics
ap english 3
ap psych (easy class) + track (potentially)
apcsa

[austere tulip]

but what are the 6 aps

ok

so um ap english 3?

[sour forge]

and my other 3 that im on the edge about are
ap precal
apush
ap spanish 4

[austere tulip]

Is that lang?

[sour forge]

yea

[austere tulip]

ok

so psych is really ez

precal is really ez

[cinder gorge]

how do you know lol

[austere tulip]

csa ez

[cinder gorge]

its not even out

[sour forge]

subjective

i go to a hella competitive school btw

[cinder gorge]

not even subjective, literally no one knows

[sour forge]

its like top 20ish in texas

[austere tulip]

psych is literally the easiest ap exam by pass rate, review, and my friends' personal experiences

[sour forge]

psych is easy for sure

[cinder gorge]

im talking about ap precalc

[sour forge]

but precal is more conceptual

[austere tulip]

precalc is not a college course

it cannot be as difficult as the other aps

[cinder gorge]

yes it is so many colleges offer it

[austere tulip]

do the top ones do?

Maybe community colleges and stuff

but calc is usually the one seen as college math

also csa is ez(personal experience)

[sour forge]

how do i figure out what aps i should take for the universitys i wanna go to

[cinder gorge]

i am positive

[sour forge]

csa im taking for sure

[austere tulip]

i would say do all of these except apush

if u feel like u will have trouble

or else go with all of them

[sour forge]

apush is easy but like its time consuming just like all my other classes

[austere tulip]

yeah i heard apush has lots of homework

[sour forge]

im gonna have endless studying to do regardless idk if i wanna add more to it

[austere tulip]

Idk if I would call it easy

but like sure

[sour forge]

well like

[cinder gorge]

there are other majors besides stem

[austere tulip]

ap precalc u can call ez because it's barely a college course

[sour forge]

in comparison to whap its easier at our school according to current juniors

[austere tulip]

oh wow

[cinder gorge]

some nursing majors i know are taking college precalc/algebra

[sour forge]

and i have a 99 currently in whap so

[austere tulip]

for us whap is decent

euro is hard

apush is hardest

[sour forge]

only reason i struggled in whap last sem because of diagnosed mental issues

[cinder gorge]

this logic is

💀

[sour forge]

and i still ended with an a

[austere tulip]

there's nothing wrong with this logic

I looked at the course

I looked at the exam

it's basically honors level

precalc

at a high school

[sour forge]

also diagnosed mental issues might interfere with the 6 aps im planning on taking next year LMAO

[austere tulip]

collegeboard just made it to get more money

[cinder gorge]

the content has nothing to do with the difficulty

ap physics is the same content as honors physics as well

[austere tulip]

it's not a class to worry about

[cinder gorge]

theres a difference.

[austere tulip]

not true

[cinder gorge]

it is the exact same curriculum at my school

[austere tulip]

6 aps is fine

[cinder gorge]

yet ap physics has a 60% average

[austere tulip]

many people do that

plus

some of them are really easy

[sour forge]

yea im guessing im making it sound worse than it is

[cinder gorge]

you are aware that collegeboard is a nonprofit?

[sour forge]

theyre easy but time consuming

also easy is a subjective word lol

[austere tulip]

haha yes, but non profit also means non loss

[austere tulip]

csa is not too time consuming(at my school)

lang yes

spanish yes

precalc I still think u shouldn't worry about it too much

[cinder gorge]

either way ap precalculus is a very important and in need class, they arent just doing it for money

[sour forge]

ap spanish 4 is easier than preap spanish 3 and slightly less time consuming

im mostly worried about time

[cinder gorge]

its really important to standardize it

[sour forge]

cuz with sat prep and everything its not worth

[austere tulip]

its important for seniors who don't get to calc

[cinder gorge]

the international mathematics olympiad is high school level math

[austere tulip]

notice the word olympiad

it's a competition

meant to trick people

and make them think

[cinder gorge]

many students are unprepared for calculus since precalculus differs so much from school to school

ap precalc will do a much better job of preparing students for ap calc

[cinder gorge]

youre saying ap precalc wont make you think?

[austere tulip]

precalc will make you think

but not to the level of imo

[cinder gorge]

ofc, but not college level doesnt mean its not hard

[austere tulip]

precalculus is not hard if u paid attention in algebra ii

I think you're overestimating Advanced placement

[cinder gorge]

im just saying you cant straight up call ap precalc free

[austere tulip]

it is tho

[cinder gorge]

when we dont even have a course framework yet

[austere tulip]

cap

[cinder gorge]

youve failed to provide any proof

[austere tulip]

I literally saw it yesterday

[cinder gorge]

there is proposed one, its not solidified yet or in depth at all

[austere tulip]

i provided plenty of proof

[sour forge]

what are the cons of dual credit us history

[austere tulip]

not my fault u didn't consider it

[sour forge]

cuz literally nobody takes it at my school

[austere tulip]

credit might not always be tranferable

[cinder gorge]

what i got out of you is "its not college level so its easy!!"

[austere tulip]

https://aztransmac2.asu.edu/ATF/ATF_EXAM_INFO/AP_Precalculus_CourseExamOverview.pdf

[austere tulip]

It's not only that but it's basically just precalc honors

the whole point of adding the ap to it

was to make seniors

familiar

to a math ap experience

that's collegeboard's entire point

[cinder gorge]

how do yk

like where are you getting this

[austere tulip]

where are your proofs

u never provided any proofs

u keep asking for my proof

[cinder gorge]

proof for what statement specifcally

[austere tulip]

I took a look the exam

questions

literally the same difficulty

as reg precalc

honors*

[cinder gorge]

the exam questions are released?

[austere tulip]

some of the questions

not from the exam in 2024

I'm not denying that ap precalculus is not important

I'm just saying that it's not as hard and worrisome as people claim it is

and that people shouldn't be stressing about it during course selection

[cinder gorge]

okay

[austere tulip]

The Mathematical Association of America has described students’ struggle with math as “the most significant barrier” to college completion. Forty percent of college students lack sufficient math experience in high school to enroll in college-level math, often spending valuable time and money on remedial math courses that don’t count toward their degrees. Nearly half of these students fail to fulfill the math requirement, contributing to long-running inequities in college success.

AP Precalculus is designed to address those challenges. Developed by college math professors and high school math teachers, AP Precalculus will create a new pathway to college-level math in high school. By making an advanced math course available to students regardless of where they begin their high school math journey,

from collegeboard

the whole purpose it to make sure people take precalc in high school as an ap so they can get credit for it

there's nothing about level

or anything

[cinder gorge]

um yeah

so how are you just straight up claiming its free

i dont know it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way, esp as you dont know of their prior math skills

[teal frigate]

.

[shell fog]

Course list for senior year:
Criminal Investigations (Magnet Program)
Advanced Band
Dual Enrollment IST Pathway( 3 periods)
American Government Honors (Semester I or II only)
Econ Honors (Semester I or II only)
Calculus I/II DE (Online/Personal time)

Is this too much for senior year? I'm currently handling 9 classes(1 DE, 3 Honors, 2 maths) junior year with all A's first semester.

[wise forge]

eh, the classes seem easy enough so I'd say no

[wicked stream]

Your sport

[half ferry]

Is ap capstone worth it?

[vagrant solar]

^^^ same question

[austere tulip]

I think it is

[austere tulip]

Because I looked at the practice ap precalc questions

both mcqs and frqs that were available

and then I looked at the actual course content

again

My point is that people, unless they're skipping some sort of math in between, do not have to worry about AP precalc as an AP class and can think of it like an honors class instead of over worrying about it

[wise forge]

ap precalc is literally a college board cash grab

no colleges are gonna except it for credit

[wise forge]

Band is a distinguishment for college, just as valedictorian is.

[spare badge]

ap capstone 🤡

if ur good enough then band

[wise forge]

I wouldn't know what to do in your situation as my school does valedictorian by unweighted gpa, so our valedictorians just take normal level classes and get it

we has 22 last year

[spare badge]

wtf

thats wild

[austere tulip]

i said that

[wise forge]

you probably did

[austere tulip]

but apparently it's for the well being of all high schools

boxfox

[wise forge]

both of the new ap classes are just excuses for them to get more money imo

[austere tulip]

said that collegeboard is a non profit

[wise forge]

sale with the ap cs classes

same

[austere tulip]

and then he said that many colleges offer credits

but like

no

[wise forge]

Precalc is a class needed for GenEd, but for all 4 years it’s typical for 1 sem of calc being required

[austere tulip]

Psych

human geo

csp

csa

[wise forge]

fr

[austere tulip]

precalc

[wise forge]

psych has some use

[austere tulip]

yeah ig

it might just be easy cuz it's psych

but like the others

[wise forge]

Yeah

AP Music Theory

[austere tulip]

true

my friend's doing the exam next year

[wise forge]

that one only benefits@music majors

[austere tulip]

yeah music majors

[wise forge]

my brother is taking it this year and he’ll get upper division credit for it

[austere tulip]

But yeah Ap precalc is fine for people not considering math as a major

but like otherwise pretty much honors and not college level

but explain that to boxfox

[wise forge]

yeah- it’s like a good alternative to senior year math for those who have to take it

My school only requires 2 years of math so

[austere tulip]

oh

i think it's unfair that our school requires 3 years of math but 4 years of literature

[wise forge]

but we require 4 years of pe ;-; you can tell what our school values more

[wise forge]

my state only requires districts to require 3 years of english

[austere tulip]

it should be 4 years of both

math is as important as literature

[austere tulip]

we have that too

that's a state requirement for us

I tried doing driver'ss over the summer but then I still had to replace it with a pe

like that's so stupid

[cinder gorge]

theres always online and summer

[wise forge]

my state only requires 1 freshman year and than 1 other year long course that has pe aslexts

[wise forge]

my school doesn’t let you

[austere tulip]

we have to take pe every semester of high school

[wise forge]

we’re supposed to

[austere tulip]

so even if we do something over the summer

we still have to do it

during the semester

[wise forge]

I got an exception to take my year during the summer this year bc i was taking another one course

pe *

[austere tulip]

lucky

like it's so stupid

driver's ed

exempts us from one sem of pe

but then if u do driver's ed over the summer, u still have to do one sem of pe

[wise forge]

drivers ed isn’t a class here so we have to pay for it seperately to get our permits

[austere tulip]

we have to pay but they offer it as a class

[wise forge]

we have the thing with health, where if you take it during the school year, you have to take an ethnic studies class.

[austere tulip]

oof

[wise forge]

which literally teaches kids to bully white people not even joking

[austere tulip]

anyways, lemme go finish my hmwk that I've been stretching out for like 4 hrs

[austere tulip]

lol

bye

[wise forge]

bye

[mystic portal]

Hey guys I have a problem

I am in eighth grade and I have course sign ups

And I don’t know what AP classes to take

And if I should take 1 or two

[knotty spruce]

which classes are they

[mystic portal]

World history

US history

physics

Us gov

[spare badge]

well

it depends

on what u wanna do

is this physics 1 or physics c

[mystic portal]

It’s one

I don’t know what to do as a career which is very bad

[knotty spruce]

do you have a general understanding or nothing at all

[steady pivot]

I'm currently a sophomore taking Spanish 2 and I really don't like it. I was always advised to take Spanish 3 next year to be more competitive, but I just don't like spanish. Should I replace my spanish 3 next year with another class thats not language?

[spare badge]

did u take spanish 1 last yr

[steady pivot]

yeah

[spare badge]

oh

then maybe

up to u

[mystic portal]

Nothing at all sorry

[spare badge]

do u really truly think that another course that isnt spanish will be somehting u enjoy a lot

[spare badge]

like

[knotty spruce]

dw

[spare badge]

if i were to ask ur fav subject

what would u say

or even just do u like writing essays or doing math

[steady pivot]

I would say math and the computer science classes

[knotty spruce]

personally id recommend ap world first bc its probably the easiest out of the ones you mentioned

[knotty spruce]

try a discrete math course if you have one at your school

[spare badge]

depends

[steady pivot]

sadly my school doesn't offer any

[spare badge]

i personally thought physics 1 was easier than any humanities course but then again i hate humanities

[knotty spruce]

is this a good schedule for an (upcoming) junior or is it going to be too overwhelming (2.5 credit classes are semester classes and 5 credit classes are full-year classes)

[mystic portal]

There are many more like APES

[knotty spruce]

out of the ones offered which ones are you considering the most

[mystic portal]

I am considering world history

[knotty spruce]

probably a good choice for a first AP

[spare badge]

p chill

imo ur good

[bold topaz]

Take all your required courses that you need to graduate first

[boreal iron]

I’m currently 8th grade, going into high school in September. We just had our course selection, but we can still change. I’m wondering some opinions on my selection (We get 3 electives in grade 9)

1. Japanese 9
2. Drafting, Design, Animation 9
3. Business 9
4. Textile Arts and Crafts 9
5. Information Communication Technologies

A lot of people who go to my future high school said business sucks and all they give is homework, I’m not sure if I should take it/move it to a lower spot.

(I am applying for science 9/10 though so it will take the spot of my last choice out of the 3 if I get in)

P.S. I’m probably going to switch infotech to electronics/energy

[tawdry pasture]

Im in 8th grade choosing my high classes for next year, and wondering if I should take English Honors or normal english. Is it a big deal?

And if i do want to take sophomore honors english there isn’t a prerequisite that includes honors freshman english

[limpid kelp]

Which course is better in your opinion (CS/Computer science or Software engineering) and what should I do to increase my chances in getting in those courses in some top schools

[half ferry]

You should take it, especially if that will be your only honors class. Sophomore year will be much busier so it’s nice to be a little prepared for that

[cinder gorge]

Help
Marine studies, sport studies or art?? Art is my fav, but what would be most beneficial?

[undone grove]

My school has two concert choir classes. You have to audition for one of them, and you can get honors credit in the class if you complete certain requirements. However, I am worried that I am not good enough to be in it. Should I try out for it if I want that honors credit? My choir director told me that he can work more with my voice in that class.

[mint thorn]

Beneficial to who? The world or you

[craggy cradle]

hey I have a quick question going to MIT after doing IIT Bombay fine like an student tell me?

and how to use the "Net price calculator"?

[half ferry]

Just try out, can’t you always level down?

[austere tulip]

take english honors

it's fine

try it

if u fail

drop it

[cyan prairie]

Hello I’m in 10th grade currently and I was wondering if I should take regular algebra 2 or algebra 2H and if I should take regular US History or APUS?

[neon atlas]

I'm doing basketball, AP physics, AP biology AP latin and AP Quimics.
Also I'm doing every Thursday every week a 1 hour private table tennis class and I'm also doing also cientific Olympics I got 3 bronze medals 1 gold medal and 6 silver medals my goals was 24 but screw it

[outer wolf]

I’m in grade 9 going into grade 10 and I’m wondering if I should go into math honours 10, I plan on studying computer science at university

[weak surge]

I am a freshmen, planning to take AP Comp Sci Principles and AP World History during my sophomore year. Is it worth taking?

[kind halo]

Senior classes I'm picking
Economics (Required)
Medical interventions (Required)
Ap language (Required)
Novice strength training
Backup: Orchestra and help desk

So unfortunately this isn't enough classes so they're probably gonna force me to pick a bunch of random ones

[scarlet bear]

is chemistry hard? I'm taking it next year (as a sophomore)

[kind halo]

Yes. Or at least a lot find it challenging. It was my worst subject. I would choose physics over chem. But, don't let that stop you. If it is important in your career field, take it.

[weak surge]

AP World History?

[kind halo]

Never took it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[calm island]

should i take aps not related to my feild of interest? i wanna go into business but am debating taking ap physics next year

[cinder gorge]

I’m wondering if I should take honors or just regular? What’s the difference?

My school does not offer ap but it offers honors

[kind halo]

Honors classes are just classes at a higher-level than regular classes. Expect more challenging work. Or more work than a regular class. Honors classes also raise your gpa. Although, not as much as ap classes. This might not be true at all schools so you should ask

[cinder gorge]

I will ask thx

[kind halo]

Imo its more beneficial to take an ap related to what career you're interested in. But if you enjoy it, go for it. It might make you consider other things. Ap statistics would probably match more with business.

[calm island]

yeah the only aps i can take next year are apush (planning on taking) and ap physics

i wanna show that i have course rigor but i also dont wanna fail yk

[cinder gorge]

I need some help here I need to take a language next year between Core 10 French and Spanish level 2. My parents forced me to take both for next year. But I only want to take Spanish as I suck at French. What should I do?

[kind halo]

Well yeah I think you should consider it then. Ap classes no matter what you pick are still good college preparation

[calm island]

thanks!

[kind halo]

Take the class you want. If French isn't necessary and you don't enjoy it, by all means, don't waste your time.

[weak surge]

What Aps are recommended to be taken in High School?

[austere tulip]

yes

[soft jacinth]

Is this a good Junior schedule:

Math 4 Honors
Math 5 Honors
AP Statistics
AP Lang or lit haven’t decided
AP Amer Gov
AP Macroeconomics
AP Environmental Science
Chemistry
Lifes Issues

I’m worried if I don’t take enough AP classes I’ll regret it and if I take too many I’ll hate myself for being overwhelmed

[eager birch]

Hi people! Just wanted to get on here and share that as a freshman going into high-school that I will be taking honors 9th grade lit comprehensive
Honors geometry ap human geography honors Spanish 2 and honors Latin 2 I am ecstatic as my distracted high-school allows for only 1 ap class and the requirements are quite rigorous just wanted to put our my wxcitment

[austere tulip]

this is a good schedule

take lang first

and then lit senior year

some of the aps u took are pretty easy so don't worry about overwhelming urself

[soft jacinth]

If you had to rank them easiest to hardest how would u rank it?

[austere tulip]

Ok so

First would be Lit

then Gov

Then lang

then macro

then enviro science

then stats

imo

but macro, enviro, and stats are pretty easy(so you won't be overwhelming yourself)

gov and whatever english you choose would be the difficult ones

also 3 maath classes in a year

good luck

[soft jacinth]

Okiee, I’m extremely interested in Math and History/Government and I perform exceptionally in History classes so yea

I’m also having a growing interest in some science and English is a good thing to get better at tbh

[austere tulip]

That's the same for me

Anyways

[soft jacinth]

Oh! W you 😂

[austere tulip]

um you guys have 9 periods?

+lunch

so 10?

[soft jacinth]

So, at my school you need to take 8-16 classes, the classes you take have to add up too 8.0 Credits

[austere tulip]

16 classes?

wow

our maximum classes is 8 and minimum is 7

but one of them has to be PE

[soft jacinth]

Thats the absolute max u can have

But no one does that

[austere tulip]

ok

how long is each class

ours is 45 min

[soft jacinth]

Cool!

[soft jacinth]

It depends, usually there 1.5 hrs, but if you have whats know as a “skinny” it splits up one of ur hours in half so a skinny would be like 45 ish mins

[austere tulip]

oh

so they're like weekly block classes?

so u don't have the same schedule daily?

[soft jacinth]

You do, but the hour is like split so you can fit all your classes in, usually if you have a skinny at my school, it’s for Band or APUSH

[austere tulip]

ok

[soft jacinth]

So yea! W year you would say?

[austere tulip]

anyways

it is a W year

I like ur course selection

if u can

definitely consider ap chem

otherwise everything else is good

[soft jacinth]

I kinda wanna do that Senior yr

[austere tulip]

ok

also are u not doing a LOTE

[soft jacinth]

Whats that

[austere tulip]

lanuage other thn english

[soft jacinth]

I took Spanish I

Idk if I wanna take more prob not, even though I should

[austere tulip]

oh ok

good luck

bye

[soft jacinth]

Thanks dude (:

[real folio]

guys should i take ap human geo as a senior or no

[scarlet bear]

if it's something that you want to do, then yeah

[austere eagle]

So next year I'm thinking of taking the 2 semesters of wind ensemble - AP English language - Math 3 (honors) - Pre calculus (honors by default) - Physics (honors) - and drafting 3 architecture (honors by default)

What are your thoughts on this

[austere tulip]

good, but I would recommend more Aps as a junior

there is a new Ap precalculus course being released

and Ap physics

[austere eagle]

I know but I there are only 8 classes I can take throughout the year, so I don't have time to fit anymore in

Senior year I can stick AP calculus and AP American history or AP government

[austere tulip]

ik but some of these classes like physics and math could be changed to ap

[austere eagle]

That would mean they take up another period

Physics is one that I wanted as an AP but didn't have the time for

[stone quest]

Should I take German or French? Over two or three years, which one is easier? I don't have a preference

[austere eagle]

I took french hated it, I know someone who knows both though and they suggest french, they say it's easier

Be aware languages like French and German get harder as you go on

A language like Arabic is the opposite

It starts hard but it gets progressively easier

[stone quest]

Do you know anything about Spanish?
My school only supports spanish, german, and french

[austere tulip]

I recommend french

[austere eagle]

Spanish is similar though I recommend it the most

[austere tulip]

I think it's a truly global language

[rigid ore]

My school doesn’t offer that many APs
If I get into dual enrollment at a university, will that sort of make it up?

[austere eagle]

Spanish fluency can be a great skill mainly in the US Because of the large Hispanic population

[austere tulip]

yup

[austere tulip]

yeah, but like US is an english country

if u know english

u will suffice

in europe and africa, French can be really helpful

and in terms of business, french would be more helpful in my opinion

[austere eagle]

Yes they will, you could talk with your school counselor they can offer information about dual enrollment

[rigid ore]

oh ok ty

My school offers a bunch of APs, but there’s not that many interest..
I think I’ll only be able to take Macro, Psychology, and Comp Sci this year

[stone quest]

Also, to bring german into this 😅 I live in Wisconsin, which I heard has a big german population? I'm not sure if it'd help though

[austere eagle]

Yes but in an area like Texas or California where the Hispanic population is very large acting as an interpreter can be a sought after skill, this isn't towards every job though, but I agree globally French would be better

[rigid ore]

do u plan on staying in Wisconsin

[stone quest]

Yes, but i might move out for college for a bit

[austere eagle]

Yes Germans are a big population there. However not a DIRECT population mostly, so they probably know English just fine.

After all there is a German exchange student here and he speaks English excellent

[stone quest]

Okay, so basically ruling out german..
For french, I'm scared I won't be able to use it that much, as I'm planning on being something like a psychologist or (back-up) teacher.

But I guess this would also apply to Spanish

Well for that go for french, you can get jobs as a psychologist outside of the US and french would be your second most common language for that.

Though if you are working in a K-12 school system Spanish is the way to go. Working as an assistant professor or actual psychologist would be better for french

[stone quest]

So most of the population who speaks spanish are young?
I did a bit of research, and spanish has basically double the # of total speakers, and way more native speakers

[austere eagle]

No it works like this

Most of the population that speaks Spanish are immigrants, and their kids need to go to school. Those kids either grow up in a primarily Spanish speaking household or even community, or are coming speaking Spanish directly from a native country

So working in k-12 involves the children of immigrants and immigrant parents. That's why knowing Spanish is more applicable for that area.

[stone quest]

Okay, thank you. I'm going to ask some of my highschool friends about it too, but I will keep your idea in mind.

[austere eagle]

Definitely, my parents work in ESL so I have some knowledge in that field

[stone quest]

Also, for my math classes, I want to take precalc1 and precalc2, would I then sign up for both? I don't know how my school system works exactly, and you don't choose new classes in the middle of semesters.

[austere eagle]

I would take regular calculus, in my school you take pre cal (only one) and than you can move on to AP calculus

So do something like that

[stone quest]

how long is your precalc class? All year or just one semester?

[austere eagle]

Semester

[stone quest]

Weird okay, I'm going to ask my brother rq. I'll be back in a second as he was planning on taking the same stuff. (13 & 17 in the same class 😎 )

Alright, so my brother said pc1 is a prerequisite for pc2 which is a prerequisite for calc

so I would need to do pc1 and pc2

[austere eagle]

So yes if you can, take the courses

Though what field do you want to go into?

[stone quest]

probably something with math, like a teacher, or stuff with the mind, which sounds interesting

[hollow finch]

You might not get the college credit not all schools give it

But don’t worry about trying to make it up because schools won’t punish you for not taking APs if there are not many offered

Just take whatever the highest classes are

[austere eagle]

Than totally take them (and yes if you want to do that definitely take Spanish) if you want to go into teaching also consider taking AP psychology. Also, in my school "teaching as a professional" as a course you can take. There are also internship opportunities. You can also take other CTE classes like Microsoft excel, or Microsoft word and power point as useful skills to have in that profession.

[stone quest]

Alright, will do. I would have to take ap psychology later on high school, since the teachers said the only ap class you can take is so hug

[austere eagle]

Hug?

[stone quest]

sorry, ap human geography

[austere eagle]

Oh ok

But goodluck on all that

[stone quest]

which i’ve asked around and i’m probably not going to take it, as that is basically the one subject i’m not good in

[limber valley]

I'm going to high school next year and my high school offers an IB program as well as AP. Which one should I take?

[stone quest]

depends on what you are planning on doing in the future, and if you are ready for a bunch of homework :/ If you take basically all ap, you might not have time at all after school for extracurriculars or even just free time in general. But if you do, make sure you get at least 7 hours of sleep :)

[vagrant solar]

Does taking both sat and act look better than just sat

[young hazel]

seems like an ez class

[agile gorge]

8th grader here. I am beginning to choose my high school classes. Too many interest me. The classes in the S.T.E.M field greatly interest me such as Construction, Welding, HVAC, Robotics, Electricity, or literally anything else in that field. I would also like to take the principal classes of culinary arts (so that I can get a food sanitary certification allowing more job offers) and either accounting or business management. It is definitely a big list, so my question to you is, how should I choose? How did you choose?

Paraphrased: I am interested in many classes for high school. How do you recommend I choose?

Extra information: I get a certification in welding within the first year (teacher said some students got it on week 4-5), a certification in construction (at some point - not sure when), a certification in HVAC (same situation as construction), a certification in culinary arts after the first year. In robotics I get to learn C++, some metal working (for robot chasiss), and overall math nerd stuff (stuff I love).

[limber valley]

so ap has more hw than ib?

[half ferry]

I was in the same spot as you last year. I just made a 4-year plan and looked at each elective. A few things to consider are the graduation requirements(get the ones you can out of the way), the teacher(if you have older friends), and the grade level(Ex, 9, 11-12, etc)

I'm going into sophomore year, how does this list of classes look?
AP Euro/World Hist(undecided)
English 2
H Alg2/Trig
H Chem
AP CS Principles
PE

Health and a language in the summer

[tired dawn]

bbbcc

[junior flower]

Looks good

[silent tinsel]

How do I make my guidance convince to take 5 college courses

[austere tulip]

I don't think u need to

u can take them

by talking to ur college

I don't think ur counselor needs to give permission

[cinder gorge]

Ha

U wanna do 5 college courses

Know ur limits lmao

Even if u convince them, their gonna say no

U need to know ur stuff to do stuff like this

[silent tinsel]

She does

[silent tinsel]

I know them and I wanna increase then , crucial time helps increase limits

[cinder gorge]

Gl

[cinder gorge]

Is this a Good Grade 10 Course load?. Career Studies (Required) , World Religions (Required) , English (Required) , Canadian History (Required) , Civics (Required) , Science (Required) , Core French grade 10 (Required) , Spanish 2 (Elective) , Computer Science Grade 11 (Elective) , Functions Grade 11 (Required). Keep in mind I am in Canada.

[austere tulip]

Yeah that's good

[austere tulip]

Because college is separate for high schol

as long as u have enough tme

u can register by yourself

maybe lessen it tho

3

courses

good

[silent tinsel]

Nah I feel like they are good cause summer time

[silent tinsel]

Ik but my college asks for permission

Towards it

[austere tulip]

oh during the summer

then that's even better

yup do 5

but

anyways

your college does?

Then why is your counselor saying no

it's your summer

there's nothing else ur doing

ur grades are good

[stuck kernel]

guys if i want to focus on research and science is this good for my stream selection for next year (i’m 10th grade choosing for 11th): science, maths, physics-chem ?

[silent tinsel]

That is a good reason

I guess I will do that

[late flicker]

Hello, has anyone completed A levels or IB programme? If so, which should I take and was your experience good?

[agile gorge]

Thanks for the help - will consider these things.

[sweet zodiac]

Does it help to self study before taking like ap chem and bio

I’m taking them next year along with a bunch of other APs and my teacher has this thing with his website where we cna see what ap Chem is doing even tho we’re in honors

And I thought that it’d be best to study before hand after looking at how hard it is but idk if it’ll be a waste of time or

[fickle osprey]

i mean you certainly can an it wouldnt be a waste of time at all

you mentioned your taking several more aps which i assume are time consuming so study ahead of time is a great idea

my only concern would be if the teacher goes in a different direction than what you studied, but you said you have access to see what the teacher is doing

[sweet zodiac]

Idk how effective it’ll be . I just don’t want to get a bad grade in my sciences because I plan on going into stem

[sweet zodiac]

Yea. Idk if he knows that we have access to see what ap Chem does

[fickle osprey]

it certainly doesnt hurt to get ahead

ap courses tend to follow a direction that can be known

i plan on studying ap chem ahead of time for next year

[sweet zodiac]

Rn I’m jsut reading Chem encyclopedias to expand my foundational knowledge

I have Chem lab as a scioly event so it’s kind of helpful ig but electrochem only comes in at the last part of ap Chem from what I saw

[fickle osprey]

oh

one thing id highly recc is buying a ap chem book

[sweet zodiac]

Yea

[fickle osprey]

i belive Princeton review has one

[sweet zodiac]

My school library has it but it’s only for like viewing not working

[fickle osprey]

or barrons

then buy one for sure

[sweet zodiac]

Yaya

I’ll get one for bio too

[fickle osprey]

ofc

[sweet zodiac]

Idk if to get one for psych and seminar also

[fickle osprey]

ehh i dont think that's necessary

im take ap lang and comp and its fine without the book

[sweet zodiac]

I have a total of 6 APs so I just want to prep for any that might be slightly difficult

Our apush teacher is really good so I’m not concerned about it

[fickle osprey]

i-

6 is a lot

are you taking any aps rn?

[sweet zodiac]

haha no but surely I will not regret my decision

Gonna die

I’m familiar with both the ap Chem and bio teacher tho so I think it won’t be as bad in those along with self study. Apush is chill and people say good things about the ap psych teacher also so

[silent tinsel]

Yo I had a question do you think I should do 5 or more during summer since that is a great opportunity that will be hard in high school year

I could do more

Since that reason is good enough

Or prolly self study ap classes and sat/act

[sweet zodiac]

Lol I’m so glad I’m not taking act or sat

What a blessing

[silent tinsel]

Why not

All college requires it

[sweet zodiac]

Because it’s not for UCs

[silent tinsel]

Wat is ucs

[sweet zodiac]

University of California

[austere tulip]

I'm also doing 6 junior year

[sweet zodiac]

Ayeee fellow masochist

[austere tulip]

Yeah I would recommend 5 or less because more than that can be a little hard (don't forget you're doing college courses over the summer so they're faster paced and cover more content) Yes, but if u have extra time, then study for ap classes u will be taking next year

also some extracurriculars

[silent tinsel]

Hmm thx for a great advice I will do that

[crimson raven]

Can y’all help me decide which science class to take next year? I’m a freshman who really loves math and physics, and I most likely want to pursue a career in a similar subject. I reallyyyyy want to take AP Physics next year (and then AP Physics C the following year), but a lot of people have told me that it is more logical to take chemistry (honors) sophomore year and then start physics, so there isn’t a gap year. I have my heart set on physics but now I’m considering taking chem next year instead. I don’t know which class to choose. Any recommendations?
Thanks!

[plain hill]

do y’all know what flight plan is

[lament pumice]

what would be any other good subjects to enroll in if im planning to become a commercial pilot? i know math, english and physics are good but not sure what else

[stoic geyser]

should i take AP computer science and intro to programming at the same time, (no prior knowledge needed for both). the computer sci class is about 50% programming and 50% other stuff

[austere tulip]

I recommend doing chem first andd then do Ap phys junior and senior

this

because ur college major will be more closely related to physics

it will be more relatable if u do physics last

[flint wyvern]

im planning to take apush, ap lang, and ap calc ab next year alongside ap chem, but my school requires that i either take ap physics or physics honors alongside ap chem. the honors physics teacher at my school is notoriously a horrible teacher, and makes the class harder than ap physics. ap physics teacher is far better, but im worried that taking 5 aps next year will be too overboard. should i take ap physics or physics honors?

[finite lark]

Anyone who has experiences with taking HUMSS?

[cold knoll]

Hello! I took Intro to Programming and APCSA together. Intro to Programming is probably the easiest class ever. I haven't taken CSP, but I heard it is also an easy class and an "intro to Comp Sci". I would recommend solely taking APCSP because it's basically the same as Intro to Programming with more content. However, it's up to you; if you think taking them at the same time will benefit you, then take it. But, imo, it's not necessary to take them together. Hope this helps!

[shell torrent]

Hi! For next year I'm confused on whether I should take AP lang or not becuase first of all I don't like reading nonfiction and my essay skills aren't that great. But I want to take it to wave it off freshmen yr of college. What should I do, take it or not?

[late plank]

so

is american lit honors hard

[viscid tide]

Is ap world history, ap economics, ap chem, ap computer science principles, and honors English in the same year doable?

[silent tinsel]

I say if he is gonna do physics as a major the ap physics classes are useless

Btw anyone think it is possible to complete 2 Associates in high school?

[lilac torrent]

Hey guys i am in class 9 i personally have chosen computer science and i like it but do you have any suggestions what to do to improve on it

[austere tulip]

no they're not

because college physics is much harder

also they can start off from a higher level because they already finished intro level stuff

[austere tulip]

mhm

I have a firned doing that

friend

[storm oxide]

any theatre majors out there? if so, did u regret majoring in theater, and would recommend going for it as a minor instead? theatre is my main interest but i can see why it'd be hard to find a career w a theatre major

[silent tinsel]

Ik they just give the experience tho and not credits

[silent tinsel]

There is no intro level requirement class it is gonna help to complete his degree

[cinder gorge]

R u stupid??

[silent tinsel]

For example cs degree in college has no intro to cs credits in it you just gotta start with programming unlesss you are not aware of anything,they do have intro to cs courses tho

[cinder gorge]

What?????

[silent tinsel]

?

[silent tinsel]

Ap physics and physics major won’t take intro credits

[cinder gorge]

Ap gives college credit and colleges want rigor

[silent tinsel]

What? True but the major you doing and it’s intro credits are useless

Other ap classes useful to get the requirements finished

[cinder gorge]

Wdym by intro credits

[silent tinsel]

Like humanities and ap lit

[silent tinsel]

They really don’t have intro college course like intro to physics they just start with real deal

[cinder gorge]

U stupid lmao

[silent tinsel]

Whatever

[spare badge]

💀

what

what has transpired here

[spare badge]

lol what

they do

if you want to be a physics major, you should specifically take AP physics courses

you do earn credit for them too lmao

what are you saying bro 😭

[cinder gorge]

@silent tinsel if u don’t know stuff then i wouldnt give advice like that

[spare badge]

^

please dont give advice you're unqualified to give

[vale compass]

im stressin out about what APs to choose next year for senior year bc i wanna major in comp sci and i dont think i've prepared myself enough for a good app

[austere tulip]

they will

if not credit

they will

at least

let you do higher level stuff earlier

so u wouldn't have to do the intro stuff

and could get deeper into your major

[austere tulip]

u don't have to use language like this

like look at selina

she told him nicely

[cinder gorge]

Don’t talk to me

[austere tulip]

I have no interest, but I have to because u cannot give advice kindly

[cinder gorge]

Lmao

Ok kid

[eager birch]

Hi as a freshman I need some advice... would taking 3 ap classes be too much?

Or should I do 1 ap and 2 honors

[cold knoll]

Usually it’s better to only take a few APs in freshmen year

Like 1 or 2

Some schools let Freshmen take none

If you think you can handle it, then go for it.

[hollow finch]

Self study comp Sci principles this year, it’s super easy

Then next year do comp Sci A

[hollow finch]

Depends on which ones

I only did one (AP Human Geo) and it was really easy

Highly recommend ones like AP Hug, Apes, AP Comp Sci Principles or AP Psych for freshman

Those are jokes

[eager birch]

Okay thank you

[soft jacinth]

3 is too much, I don’t wanna detour you from not doing it but I think the best would be 1 or 2 (my school doesn’t let freshman take AP)

3 is probably doable tbh, but your just a freshman and I would recommend take classes to prepare you for the ap’s

[eager birch]

I'll keep that in mind thanks

[soft jacinth]

No problemo

[wooden prairie]

I’m taking ap aci and it’s insanely easy

[austere tulip]

i recommend 2 APs

best number for freshmen year

[dense quiver]

how hard is ap environmental science

[oak nimbus]

well it's an ap class, so I hope you know that it's going to be pretty vigorous and you're gonna have to actually pay attention in class (i know, snore). at my school for some ap classes you have to do some mild homework over the summer before you do the class, and then there's a big test in the following may (though your school may not do this, if you dont know ask a teacher). but, if youve done ap classes before then I'd say you're set on that and you know what to expect level-wise. next, make sure this is a subject you'll like/ you would want to have for college (ex. if you want to have a career as someone who would need to take that class)
i cant say much other than that because im a freshman lol, and sorry for the giant paragraph!!

[lusty quest]

In my school its pretty easy, yeah the ap test is really hard

[hollow finch]

Really easy

Like

A complete joke

[dense quiver]

alright thanks guys

[left inlet]

course selection is about to come up, so i might as well just ask rn

im fast tracking, so im taking grade 11 math in grade 10, and im thinking whether i should take 2 grade 12 math courses in grade 11, this is bc the place where i live, we must take another grade 12 class (prerequisite) to take calculus and vectors, but i was also wanting to take a break from math, so i kinda only wanna take 1 math in gr 11, but im not really sure which would be better... ive been told that it's good to have the grade 12 marks by the first half of grade 12

ping me if you have any advice for me, thanks (edited)

[oak nimbus]

i think taking just one is a good idea. is it a year-long course?

[left inlet]

1 semester, 6 months

but im doubting tho, ppl say it's better to have your marks in as fast as possible, as uni apps begin in gr 12

[idle cedar]

Is this a good sophomore year schedule:
AP Bio
AP Calc AB
AP US Gov (Magnet required)
Honors English 10 (Magnet required)
CAP Journalism (Magnet Required)
CAP News Writing(magnet required)/CAP Broadcast Journalism (magnet required)
Spanish 5
Student Leadership (SGA Class)

[oak nimbus]

omg you're in spanish 5??
that seems good, if you feel like you can take on that much

[spare badge]

ur in a magnet program too? thats p cool

[late plank]

does anyone know if american literature honors is generally difficult?

[proud mica]

Should I take as many weighted classes as I can to max out my GPA or just have 1 studyhall for a slightly lower gpa and a chance at missing valedictorian

[sullen hearth]

are these good classes to take going into my freshmen year

[idle cedar]

It's good that your taking a good amount of aps while also having the rest as honors

do you have any other possible schedules, @sullen hearth ?

[sullen hearth]

wdym

[idle cedar]

like any options

[sullen hearth]

wait should i takephysics or chem freshmen eyar

[idle cedar]

maybe besides intro to engineering design

[idle cedar]

ap or honors

[sullen hearth]

chem honors and physics i cant take honors or ap yet

i can take normal

physics

[idle cedar]

i'd rec chem honors

[sullen hearth]

ok

and also

should i take fundamentals of computer science rather thentaking ap computer science princples

[idle cedar]

nah continue with ap

i'm currently in ap csp

and the work is generally light

[sullen hearth]

oh

because i dont have any prior knowledge about computer science

[idle cedar]

that's not needed

[sullen hearth]

ok

[idle cedar]

i didn't have any either

prior to taking the class

[last portal]

How do i see my prior messages, is there any way>

[visual roost]

I am currently in the 8th grade and applications for Freshman classes are available. AP Physics 1 and AP Biology are courses I could take, I am debating if I should take one. Any advice?

[lament pumice]

what would be any other good subjects to enroll in if im planning to become a commercial pilot? i know math, english and physics are good but not sure what else

[tall rivet]

getting ready for 11th grade: i plan on majoring in mechanical/aerospace engineering. should i take ap physics 2, ap chem, or ap physics c? (currently self-studying ap physics 1)

[half ferry]

I would go for AP Bio

[half ferry]

Hit the search icon on the side, click on from, then enter ur username

[cyan prairie]

Currently in 10th grade, and gotta choose my classes soon but should I choose algebra 2 regular or honors, and regular US history or APUS?

[half ferry]

I would go with alg 2 honors. I haven’t taken a history class yet so I can’t help you with that one but I would do apush

[jade stump]

which wan should i get

[hollow finch]

Yeah

I took 2

[gaunt scarab]

ap vs dp vs cp

[outer wolf]

Really need help with deciding if I should take math honours, I do above average in my grade 9 class and I want to do computer science at ubc in the future should I take math honours 10

[austere tulip]

yeah that look really good

[austere tulip]

take physics 1

get it over with

do more than that

[austere tulip]

Honors alg ii, and try apush

[stone plank]

Here’s my schedule for 10th grade next year:
Honors English 2
Earth space science
Regular geometry
Regular world history
Spanish 1
Digital information technology

What y’all think

Nah

Just 1 for me

I can’t keep up

And plus honors are way more faster

So I’ll stick with one

Yea

I play basketball for my school

JV

we lost in a playoff game tho

So our seasons over

Nice

Damn your gonna have so much homework

😭

Can you handle all that

[idle cedar]

Honestly, AP bio is good if you want toy enter something in bio or rlly anything else.

I’m currently in ap physics as a freshman rn and would say it is better if you want to do engineering, or are just not interested in bio.

[idle cedar]

I think physics c would be better(btw good luck with the physics 1 exam)

[soft jacinth]

Calc 1
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
APUSH
Advanced Bio
Inorganic Chem
Phy Ed 12
Global Issues
Law
Might do AP Lang or something else idk (im doing Lit as a junior)

Is this a good Señior schedule (I’m a sophomore)

[visual roost]

How difficult is it?

(AP Physics)

[idle cedar]

You tend to have to spend a lot of time not just having a base level understanding

And it takes A LOT of outside of school studying

Which would also apply to AP bio, but AP Physics 1 is the kind of course where you build off of previous units to a very large extent, and if you forget a lot from a unit you’re gonna be behind.

[visual roost]

Should I take AP Physics 1 my freshman year or should I take Chem Honors? I want to take AP Physics but it might be too much work for me.

[soft jacinth]

.

[austere tulip]

ok

good

[austere tulip]

ap physis will work

it is possible

[austere tulip]

good schedule.

[soft jacinth]

Like really good? I think its good,

[austere tulip]

yeah I think it's good

Wait so are some of ur other courses

like inorganic chem

college courses?

cuz some of these might be redunant and u can swicth them with smething else

[soft jacinth]

It’s not considered college level, it’s just weighted

[soft jacinth]

Inorganic Chem is required for AP Chem,

Also I wanna take Law and I am required to take PE

And Global

[austere tulip]

ok

[austere tulip]

ok

[cinder gorge]

Guys what clases should i take for sophmore year like AP classes

[stone plank]

Idk

But my 10th grade friends said that ap world history

And European history is good

Also seminar

[steep zodiac]

should I take DE classes next year or just AP?

[boreal juniper]

yo anyone here doing ap physics c: mechanics this year?

[steep elk]

haha yes

don't recommend @boreal juniper

[boreal juniper]

I'm doing it too

ain't too bad

[steep elk]

my teacher freaking sucks

she's so racist too but anyways

[boreal juniper]

dang thats tough

I'm self studying 💀

[cinder gorge]

my next yr courses:

Ap Stats,
Ap Physics C Mech &EM( both in one year super fast paced)
AP Japanese
Ap gov/Econ
Myth
Drama honors

[austere tulip]

I recommend

[austere tulip]

is that senior year

that looks good

[austere tulip]

do a good mix of both

[cinder gorge]

I personally wouldn’t do this

[austere tulip]

World history, european history, precalculus, economics, chemistry, computer science principles and computer science A

all of these are good

[austere tulip]

what's wrong with it

just asking

cuz my senior year schedule might be similar

[cinder gorge]

I cant say

[tranquil field]

Should I take honors, AP, or norm physics

[austere tulip]

what year?

[tranquil field]

I'm in 10th.

[austere tulip]

ok

so next year u'll be a junior

ok

AP

[tranquil field]

Yep.

[cinder gorge]

Ok sure

[cinder gorge]

Y not take all of em?

[tranquil field]

Would you think3 APS are too mych?

[tranquil field]

.

[austere tulip]

I'd say 3 aps is goo

[tranquil field]

Ok

[austere tulip]

junior year is the hardets year

I would actually recommend more

probably 4-5

and if u really want to

6

[cinder gorge]

??

[austere tulip]

he's talking about physics

so either reg, honors, or ap physics

[tranquil field]

Yea

Ok I'll try to see if I'm still able to change it

Thanks dude

[novel jungle]

should I take geometry or alegbra

[covert linden]

1 or 2?

[mint thorn]

You’re gonna have to take both

[balmy copper]

Thats just sad

[mint thorn]

Well stuff like calc or trig is literally just both combined

[elder eagle]

I would suggest algebra 1 then geometry

I think thats how most schools do it anyways

I would prob just do what your friends di

Do

[boreal juniper]

1 ap for freshman year is ok, right?

[iron lily]

Select deez nutz

[boreal juniper]

do colleges see which year we took an exam?(freshman/sophomore/junior/senior)

[outer marsh]

What classes should I take in high school to get into Stanford or Harvard or some other good school? I'm in 7th grade doing 8th grade work and love history.

[mossy linden]

Quick Question people - I'm taking AP World next year and 2 science classes, Chemistry, and Earth Science. Is that to much of an over load for a sophomore in high school?

[mint thorn]

Yep

[flint wyvern]

on a scale of 1-10 how bad would it be to take ap chem and ap physics at the same time

[flint wyvern]

i say it looks good @late pier

im taking ap bio rn

if you think ap comp sci is too much you could always go for ap computer science principles as a start

[hollow crypt]

so right now im taking spanish 2 as a freshman and will take spanish 3 next year

should i retake one of the spanish classes or take french 1 in order to satisfy the 3 years of a language recommendation for UCs

or can i just take sp 2+3 and be fine

[flint wyvern]

if you wanna do ap bio and ap compsci then go for it

[flint wyvern]

colleges usually like consistent commitment to one language i think

i would look into spanish 4

[hollow crypt]

my school doesn't have spanish 4

[flint wyvern]

oh yeah then make sure to specify that in the additional comment section of your college apps

you should be fine

you could take french 1 if you wanted to

colleges wont hold it against you that you werent able to fulfill the 3 years language recommendation cause your school wasnt able to offer that

[hollow crypt]

they do have ap spanish tho

[fresh spade]

my school has a requirement of at least one year of a visual and performing arts class, would it be best to get it over with freshman year if i'm not rlly interested in pursuing arts?

i'm in 8th currently btw and we have to submit our courses for next year

and there's no other elective i'm super interested in so it doesn't really matter

[zinc bane]

does anyone recommend ap seminar? our course selection was due yesterday and all, but does anyone think its a good course? and what is taught in it?

[placid zephyr]

I suggest you take ap seminar if you are interested in ap research in the future. There is a moderate difficulty level, but it requires quite alot of critical thinking.

I didn't research too much about such courses, but what I typed above is all that I know

[zinc bane]

ok thanks!

[snow charm]

What would you say is the best classes to take in high school if you want to become a doctor/ software engineer?

[fresh spade]

most likely all the sciences (bio, chem, physics)

ap if you can ofc which can help you get ahead when you get to college

there are also probably electives at your school that relate to engineering that you could take as well

Hi, im a sophomore right now whos locking to pursue computer science in college with the hopes of also running track. My current APs are AP Physics and AP Gov, last year i took AP CSP. I am/have took the tests for all of these classes. In junior year im planning to take 4 aps along with a special tech program for the rest of my peroids. My 11th grade aps are gonna be AP lang, AP calc bc, AP world his and AP compsci. Im planning not to take AP world his test because i want other time to study for my other aps, sats, and programming.

My question is, Is it bad if i dont take the world history test?

[austere tulip]

mhm

[austere tulip]

i think thats good

nope

u won't be penalized for ap world test

but I really reocmmend taking it

because u can get rid of elective credit

a bit of it at least

which can help later in college

just a suggestion

[willow folio]

Can yall help me figure out if I want to do AP dual credit precal or just regular precal

[cinder gorge]

[willow folio]

But I dont know which one I want

[cinder gorge]

what math r u doing rn

whats ur grade

[willow folio]

Im a sophomore now and I wil be a junior next year

[cinder gorge]

what grade do u have in math

and do u enjoy math

[willow folio]

Im failing rn but I know the curriculum. My problem is just not turning in my work. Also I dont not like math

[cinder gorge]

then y r u thinking of doing aps?

[willow folio]

Bc I want to go to college and do IT.

Also im at a stem school

[cinder gorge]

but ur failing

and community college is open

[boreal juniper]

y do you wanna do smthn ur not interested in?

[willow folio]

Bc I dont turn in the work

[cinder gorge]

that doesnt change the fact that u have an d or f

[willow folio]

Bc I dont really know what im really interested in and I dont know if I need it or not. I am also wanting to do business so that I can start my own company

[cinder gorge]

figure ur life out

[willow folio]

But my life is complicated and knotted. I keep taking 2 steps back and 1 step forward

[cinder gorge]

my life is complicated too, yet i figure stuff out

[willow folio]

But im also autistic and adhd and odd and socially awkward

[cinder gorge]

ok? and?

[willow folio]

Btw odd is one of my diagnoses

[cinder gorge]

why should these conditions affect the reason on why u cant figure ur life out?

im half deaf too, and i still push forward

[willow folio]

Bc I cant do it myself and I cant comfortably talk to anyone about it

[cinder gorge]

yes u can

[fresh spade]

bro don't be an ass @cinder gorge tf

ur literally being so unsympathetic it's not that hard to have a heart and try to be understanding

[fresh spade]

if you don't like math you should probably go w a regular math class

smth more advanced is just gonna make you more stressed especially cause you already don't like the subject

[willow folio]

No. I have adhd so I cant sit still, I have ODD so I dont listen to what others tell me to do, Im autistic so I don't do what I tell myself to do, and Im socially awkward so I cant talk to others comfortably

[willow folio]

Also thx. I am being pushed to do what makes me happy but st the same time there is still pressure to do the more advanced courses

[cinder gorge]

try getting it treated?

[willow folio]

With what

[cinder gorge]

adhd, odd, autism

[willow folio]

Im on adhd meds. There is not very many treatments for the others but Im open to suggestions
