should i take AP world history next year for 10th grade? right now i have english 10 H, pre calc H, social studies 10H (if i dont take AP world), AP chem, and AP stats. i don't know if it will be too hard because i've never took an AP course before, and if i do want to take AP world, i have to email the social studies director because right now i'm not recommended for it. i really like world history but idk if it'll be too much
wary peak
i’d say don’t since you already have so many APs
but if you could manage one more on top of honors classes then
i think you should be fine
it’s really up to how much you’re willing to take responsibility on

It sounds like you might be strong in history but I'll tell you that AP World is really, really fucking over-generalized

Example:
There is a total of 1 paragraph dedicated to Spain's al-andaluz era which is one of the most critical eras of world history
When Spain was Al-Andaluz it created the first universities inside of Europe and generally introduced a lot of really important shit to European culture
Same with the Spanish Inquisition which is in that one paragraph lol
Another example is that there is literally no information on the letente era of the cold war which was also really important
It just gets defined and that's it
SO yeah, you're getting a really general overview of history that might not be too attractive for you
Tbh I wish that AP would make more history classes and instead make them highly specific
Like give us a class that is related to the social movements of the 50s and 60s
Give us a class that is related to the Islamic world
Give us a class that is related to the Russian world during the post-cold war era
That shit's dope and I would lvoe to spend a whole yaer learning some really fucking specific shit
but alas

That shit's dope and I would lvoe to spend a whole yaer learning some **really**...

i’m probably going to do something math related
how hard is ap world on a scale of 1-10

how hard is ap world on a scale of 1-10
Depends for everyone
Depends who u ask
Some people find AP physics to be easy even tho it’s considered to be the hardest ap, and if u ask the not so wise people about any ap class, they might consider it impossible

But you don't need to take any of them at the AP level as long as your counselor checked off "most demanding" on your school report form
How do you know that your counselor will check that? Just ask them

idk what ur teacher told you but they are wrong
flint wyvern

im taking it and its definetly doable, but it depends on the teacher really
you do not need to take a chem course to take bio
it barely involves any chemistry
ripe geyser
But I know a lot of people take it without finishing chem so I was just wonderin...
Paper you’ve asked this question multiple times
ripe geyser
it barely involves any chemistry
It changes from school to school
A lot of schools (mine) have a lot of chem involved within AP Bio
Attempting to learn AP Bio without the chem background is next to impossible unless you’re me who joined in the middle of the school year after all of the chem is over
Either way @inland flare stop trying to rush your education
There’s no benefit
Take all the requirements first then do the more complex shit later
There’s no point in hastening your college life when in the end you’re gonna end up at the same place as everyone else after graduation lol
If a techer is recommending you something, listen to their recommendations
They're ultimately there to help you, not harm you
Their job is to get you into as good a university as they possibly can lol, so they're gonna give you the advice to get you into those unis and if that's advice is to take chem before the AP sciences then it probably means that one of the things you should do to get into the top unis is take chem before AP sciences
Of course, everyone's different but there's no need to test out your god damn differences in education when you haven't even gotten out of the era of playing kickball during gym class lol
Take it slow, please stop trying to accelerate your education for no reason, you're hurting yourself in the long run if it flops and if it doesn't flop, then that's good you can go ahead lol. But as it stands you are a middle schooler, there is no point in trying to even take a single AP as a freshman tbh
vagrant solar
What about taking ap bio and Chem honors at the same time?
ripe geyser
What about taking ap bio and Chem honors at the same time?
Still a bad idea
vagrant solar
O
ripe geyser
Not as bad as doing bio without chem
but still a bad idea
MOstly cause that other class period would've been better spent on literally anything else
Y'all:
There's no fucking benefit to taking multiple sciences per year unless one of those sciences fulfils a GenEd requirement or smth and you're taking it as a DE
Or if you really want to take fucking Bio and are required to take chem as well lol
Either way:
AP Bio changes a lot between school to school, plus a lot of colleges will still ask for a background in chem so it's just better to get that background first
Especially as you're gonna have a very awkward jump between classes as you go from:
AP Bio (11th grade course you're taking at 9th)
Chem (9th grade course you're taking at 10th)
AP Chem (11th grade course taken at 11th)
That's a weird ass jump to make and there's no benefit to jumping back and forth like that lol
I see mega is responding to my opinion with what appears to be a new volume to the communist manifesto
vital olive
What about taking ap bio and Chem honors at the same time?
that’s not a bad idea at all- biology is a graduation requirement here to be taken in person, and during the summer everyone has better things to do (internships, volunteering, etc. etc. a lot, and i mean a lot, if freshmen here are taking bio ans chem in the same year. it replaces an elective slot. let’s be honest- usually, freshmen dont get the best electives anyway. now, if we’re talking about ap’s, it’s a different story- id recommend taking chem honors before any AP sciences (at least before chem and ap phys), but if you want to double up with bio and chem honors, and the circumstances are similar, i’d say go for it. it obviously depends between schools

Like there's no major benefit to doing that lol
Even in the non-pure college sense, you burn one of your elective slots just to take a second science
vital olive
it fulfills a graduation requirement (here at least) that can ONLY be filled with bio honors- better taking it now than junior year
yes, the freshman electives suck
ripe geyser
The issue is that those elective slots are precious as fuck and you want to have as many of them as possible, so to burn them it's not really something you want to do
vital olive
gee imma go take baking I
ripe geyser
Most students have free periods lol
vital olive
that’s what im saying
ripe geyser
Even at my school, we have a total of 6 periods you can take and most kids take 5
vital olive
taking bio is duh better to fill in during that free period
ripe geyser
Well no not really
You've massively increased the workload
The whole point of a free period is to decrease your workload
So you can have time to do your HW in school and have more time to focus on yourself outside of school
vital olive
okay wait
i’ll rephrase
IF you’re up to the challenge then go for it
happy?
it isn’t that much more work honeskty

Hi, not sure if this is the right channel to ask in, but for my GCSEs, I'm pretty much gonna choose Tri Sci, Geography, and DT, but now I have the option between German and Computer Science? Which of these 2 should I do, and would it be better to fulfil the ebacc requirements and choose German, while I study Comp Sci at home, or should I do comp sci instead and study german at home? (Ebacc isnt required in my school). Also, can somebody explain the course in GCSE dt?

where do you want to go for undergraduate?
if i tell you then you know where i live
mighty mist
if i tell you then you know where i live
so is it state uni?
median tapir
my papa got into stanford i need to go there too
for all 12 years of school
because that’s totally realistic

almost everyone in your hs will probably be aiming for it and its pretty easy for them all to get into it

my papa got into stanford i need to go there too
stanford for undergradate?

stanford for undergradate?
no i’m jk
mighty mist
oh lol
median tapir
ok just to make this less confusing for myself
i’ll tell you one thing
i’m in california
so
maybe like
median tapir
csu -> uc -> med school somewhere
mighty mist
csu -> uc -> med school somewhere
Why cus and uc?
median tapir
and then if you’re specializing in something like med school go to a med school
austere tulip
you just gotta do undergrad
median tapir
oh
mighty mist
yeah undergrad doesnt really matter. as long as you got the right classes and complete it
austere tulip
I think
mighty mist
though there are some colleges that have higher med school acceptance rates
median tapir
so like
what does that mean
does that mean undergraduate school doesn’t exist for med majors
mighty mist
does that mean undergraduate school doesn’t exist for med majors
well its not its non-existence but the undergrad you go to doesnt matter or isnt reliant on which med school you go to
mighty mist
how many years of education do i have to do to go to a med school
4 i believe
mighty mist
you dont need grad
austere tulip
and then u need to pass MCAT
mighty mist
grad is med school
so yeah just 4 and then like 7 in med school/residency and whatever
median tapir
you don’t need to go to a graduate school??????
but if i try to find a job somewhere would they care if i went to graduate school

but if i try to find a job somewhere would they care if i went to graduate schoo...

You go to med school

its costs a ton too
my parents say they can pay for most of it

does it really take 7 years to do residency
it varies on your program

that is a kind of grad school

Most people take about a decade to finish their residency

4 4 3-7
ripe geyser
Could be more could be less
median tapir
A DECADE
ripe geyser
WHAT
there is a reason why being a doctor is so expensive and hard
And that's for an average residency
mighty mist
so thats like 11-15
ripe geyser
Some residencies are shorter (that's where the 7 year residency is at but that's mostly for doctors that are really unspecialized and are like General Physicians)
Those doctors make about as much as any other STEM degree and have more debt than stem degrees
The doctors that earn a lot (plastic surgeons, neuroscientists, dentists) usually do 15 year residencies

if you're getting a Botox treatment I better hope the dude behind it has 15 fucking years of experience lol

thats true depending on the medication

sometimes a little pill is like 15,000

Even just normal diabetes costs about 30k a year for good quality insulin without medicare

Honestly being a doctor is totally fine especially with the pay but god damn residency is hell

so i can pay for the best treatment

i didn’t mean to sound pretentious and stuck up when i said scraping by i forgot to include the part about the medication 😭😭
sorry about that
ripe geyser
In Belgium you earn 72,000 pounds or about 90k USD
median tapir
but that was in relation to my life goal which is to be able to pay for that medication
ripe geyser
Either way:
Many insurances in the U.S will cover PKU and PKU treatments and many nursing jobs will offer insurance that covers whatever you want it to cover
Including PKU
If you still want to go to the medical field and don't want ot complete a residency, that'd be your best bet
median tapir
i REALLY fucking hope i can afford that medication on my own when i’m older
ripe geyser
You will, unless you work at fucking maccas most jobs will cover cronic disorders like PKU
median tapir
2 million a year for the “cure” tho
ripe geyser
That's in U.S dollars uninsured
it costs like 300 dollars per vial to buy diabetes medicine
median tapir
how much does the cost decrease by on insurance
ripe geyser
That doesn't mean it is worth 300 bucks though lol
median tapir
for most medicines
ripe geyser
how much does the cost decrease by on insurance
To about 70 bucks I think for diabetes medicine
I could be wrong but that's what I think
So 300 USD down to 70 USD per vial
And that is how much that appears on my gramps' bills
median tapir
i see
ripe geyser
He doesn't actually pay that much, his insurance does it
For insruance he spends a couple hundred per month though lol
About 500 (I think?)but it will include any medical check ups and anything else he may need
median tapir
all i want in life is to be able to eat normal food
that’s literally it
so i need to make a lot of money
and abuse the hell out of insurance

By the time you graduate college gene therapy will probably be strong enough to be doing medical tests
After another decade or 2 the first gene therapies will appear on the market
So you'll be able to do that sometime in your 40s
median tapir
maybe
i really hope so
i want to expedite the process of gene therapy coming to market by working on it myself
i want to do something in genetics
make many dollars and find cures
ripe geyser
Perhaps consider becoming a bioinformatician
They are in a lot of need and they are currently the most important people for genetic disorder research and curing
- they earn 110k per year

my only concern is
if i make 100k a year
after taxes and expenses
and thibna like that

Better than making 60k per year

how much does the cost decrease by on insurance
I looked up an estimate. With insurance, a three-month supply would cost around $3,300. Of course, it's more complicated than that with insurance.
royal swan
Which is better
The one you're interested in is better.
severe meadow
Becoming a CA? Or any finance related job which ever is best
We can't answer this for you fully, it all depends on you. Maybe you can start from observing what your capabilities, skills, strengths and weaknesses are. Or things you need to improve. Then it might help determine which one of the jobs (you've mentioned) suits you the best. You might also have to check if there are available classes to prepare for those particular careers. Or resources and internship availability around you for you to apply. A lot of factors need to be considered like the ones I've mentioned above. Good luck finding your suitable path 💞

austere tulip
What the heck is an AP
Ap is a program run by this company called Collegeboard, where they offer a bunch of courses that have college level content. High schools offer these courses to high schoolers. At the end of the year, these high schoolers take exams for the courses they take, and based on their score(out of 5) can get college creidt.

Reason?
Well, first of all, it is usually a graduation requirement for most high schools. If not, it is at least a big consideration for colleges, especially the good ones. Another thing to consider is that strong reading and writing skills are important to have in both colleges and careers. It's important to be able to communicate clearly, accurately, and in a concise manner in the English language.
