course-selection

[worn sable]

wait what about the psat?

whats that @native moon

[native moon]

Um it’s like the pre SAT, kind of like a practice SAT. What grade are you in?

[worn sable]

im about to graduate sophomore

in a couple days

[native moon]

I do know if you take PSAT in junior your year for fall. If you score really high you can get a national merit scholarship

[sharp wigeon]

yep

[native moon]

Oh perfect, yeah I would take PSAT in junior year this fall

[sharp wigeon]

national merit scholarship is $2500 and depending on the school can be up to full/half off and it looks like a nice award on your app

[worn sable]

isnt that the time when peoiple take the SAT?

[sharp wigeon]

you can take the sat whenever you want

but psat only happens once a year

[worn sable]

when is that?

[sharp wigeon]

november i think?

[worn sable]

sorry if im pestering

[sharp wigeon]

might be different for you guys

[native moon]

Yea it should be in November ish

[native moon]

No you aren’t !

[sharp wigeon]

honestly from what my friends told me the psat was more useful for them than the sat 😭

but this was for my app cycle where most schools are sat optional

[worn sable]

any other standerized tests colleges like beside the ACT %SAT/PSAT

[native moon]

Yes technically you take SAT in junior year is when it’s most popular but I would take the PSAT this fall than it will help prepare you for SAT than you can take it in the spring next year.

[worn sable]

ok

thank you so much

i will do that

[sharp wigeon]

stupid question but does the psat actually help you for the sat 😭

[feral bobcat]

Is the ACT just an easier SAT?

[native moon]

I do not know much about other tests really

[echo cargo]

Possibly? Probably just helps you know what to expect

[sharp wigeon]

i ask cause one of my friends got a 1580 on the sat before he took the psat and he didnt get national merit 😭

[feral bobcat]

You only get national merit from the psat?

[sharp wigeon]

yes

[feral bobcat]

Dang

[echo cargo]

As a Freshmen, I chose these classes and rated them with Geometry dash difficulty faces

This is what I think of them right now

[sharp wigeon]

11 classes 😭

[echo cargo]

Yeah 💀

[sharp wigeon]

how long is your school day

[echo cargo]

7 Hours..

[worn sable]

i wish my school offered more than 8 classes. so lucky

[echo cargo]

But Pe II and Health and Wellness II are half credit classes

[worn sable]

still

i envy you

i feel green asf

[echo cargo]

AP US history is probably as difficult as chemistry is for me 💀

[native moon]

Depends on person to person, but so far from studying I think ACT is easier.

[worn sable]

so uh anyone know anyone who can answer this?

[sharp wigeon]

act also has science

it takes money to take those classes right? so i think you should just take what's cheapest/most convenient for you

[native moon]

I would check out state first, see if they will offer any classes to you but I would see what colleges your school does dual enrollment with because it should be free if it’s through your school.

[worn sable]

my school has a parternship with my cc

but uhh

dual enrollment works for all of them

but does dual enrollment work during summer?

[native moon]

Yes it should, but I would check with your school first but I’m pretty sure you should be able to do de in summer

Also haha speaking of SAT gohar is live taking SAT if you want to practice lollll

[worn sable]

lol yeah im watching that as well

[feral bobcat]

So would you say getting a 1600 on sat would look better than max on an ACT? Basically what I’m trying to say is: during college apps is the sat just better? Better as in more appealing to admissions

[austere tulip]

Yeah

[native moon]

I am not 100% sure, as I am a current junior going to senior year so my answer might not be perfect heads up: from what I see yes SAT looks great for those top schools even though colleges they accept both. They both look good no matter which one if you get perfect or high score though, I personally am taking both because you never know. But I see SAT more popular than ACT, if you are more science based though I would take ACT since they have the science section.

[analog rampart]

Does 6 AP classes seem feasible as a sophomore, I ended this year with a 96 and 98 in AP World and AP Human Geo respectively

[teal spade]

depends on which ones

[analog rampart]

1. AP Seminar
2. AP Physics 1
3. AP Bio
4. AP Precal
5. AP Comp Sci Principles
6. AP US History

[teal spade]

seems like ur good at history butalso I heard physics 1 ap can be difficult but other than that the ones you're taking seem okay.

US history for me was quite time consuming as we'd get a lot of reading each day.

[analog rampart]

Okay I will make sure to take that into consideration, thank you for the advice

[teal spade]

I would estimate it should be the same as ap world, did you get readings for that?

[analog rampart]

Yeah quite a bit

[teal spade]

My schools also just weird when it comes to apush, we learn it thematically and use a lot of different sources for readings

[analog rampart]

Sounds quite a bit different than what we do at my school, we stick to a textbook and operate only within the parameters that it outlines

But how is the AP test for Apush

[teal spade]

Not terrible. also it's heavily curved so like a 75 percent can get you a 5,

55 mc in 55 min, 3 saq then a dbq and leq in 1hr 40

Same as world I think. I didn't take world, my school doesn't offer it and has ap caps

[sharp wigeon]

if you think you can do this then feel free to if this is a typical schedule for sophomores at your school

physics bio and apush are tough though so dont feel afraid to change around your schedule if it is going to seriously detriment your gpa

[teal spade]

yeah I also think it really depends on the school. Like my school makes some honors classes (honors precalc, I'm looking at you...harder than bc calc smh) harder than the ap variant and also ap classes much harder than necessary. I'm taking 5 APs (technically 6 cause both physics C's) next year and am kinda scared too lol.

[teal spade]

or if it detriments ur well-being because you still have 2 years of high school to get through after that

[sharp wigeon]

senior year is an illusion

but yah true it could be bad on your mental health but honestly that's kind of the game you have to play 😭

[teal spade]

As long as its not so detrimental on your mental health that the decline in mental health affects your grades then its ok unfortunately

I feel like I walk that line

[analog rampart]

that what I am trying to do as well, balancing is super important

how many APs did you end up taking

[teal spade]

My school has ap caps and other constraints so 0 in freshman and sophomore yr, 1 in junior,and will be 5 (6) in senior

[analog rampart]

So are you a junior rn

[teal spade]

yeah, and taking 1 ap in my least favorite subject

because of the constraints

[analog rampart]

which one

[teal spade]

us history

[analog rampart]

ah yea thats rough man

[teal spade]

I'm glad the exam is over though

[analog rampart]

Yeah good thing, I studied 3 hours everyday for a month for just 2 test

that sucked to keep up with

[teal spade]

Yeah esp I think ap history just is hard

I'm taking ap calc bc, stats, physics c (both), chinese lang/culture, and english lit so at least I'll like some of the ones I'm taking next yr

[analog rampart]

nice that should be fun

[dusk sand]

Calc ab, spanish lang, CS A, and Gov

[cinder gorge]

ok

[cinder gorge]

does anyone have detailed information about majors such as international relations?

[austere tulip]

Ok so I’d say 3 of your aps are considered easier ones

But you’re doing two Sciences

And USH

That’s is like many peoples junior year schedule so that’s cool you’re able to do that

I mean if you can handle it next year do it

I still think you don’t need both ap physics and ap bio

You could def take out one for an elective

Like a language

[worn sable]

what about AP lang i heard from people around me that it's easy and it is just essay writing

[austere tulip]

It’s not that easy

Seminars easier

[tropic trail]

AP lang is easy when you memorize the essay formats and if you are able to build the stamina for writing in a short amount of time. Towards the end of the year, my teacher made us write 1 essay (there are 3 types of essays) every week so we could improve our writing skills. The essays and MCQ’s are not as hard as you think, all it requires from you is not giving up and paying attention in class :) every single essay topic written by College Board is written in a way where you can easily come up with things to write about. They never give you topics that are completely obsecure

The synthesis and rethorical analysis essays give you things you can read so you can develop your arguments. The only sort-of hard essay is the argument essay because they only give you a topic but nothing to read off of, so you have to come up with examples. But remember, they never give you a topic that is impossible to write about

[daring bridge]

If I want to apply for computer science degree, what classes would I need? Currently grade 9. No ap classes, no coding camps (I think)

[cinder gorge]

what are the best ap classes for compsci future majors

[left coral]

idk

Maybe

Yk

Ap comp sci

Or comp sci principles

[flint wyvern]

classes related to coding

[tardy reef]

I had to transfer high schools recently, and I was taking mandarin in my old school but the only languages available in my new school are French and Spanish. The Princeton common data set recommends 4 years of a foreign language, but I'm not a big fan of Spanish, and I might not be able to get credit for my mandarin class anyways. Should I take Spanish through senior year, or another AP class?

[austere tulip]

Usually those 4 years are good if they are of the same language

So if you can't, yes that's fine

do another ap class

you could still pursure mandarin by self studying or finding classes outside of school

in chinese schools or your community college

[tardy reef]

ok thanks

[wanton talon]

Compsci calculus stats

[tribal frigate]

I'm a freshman, I have only signed up for 1 AP course which is AP CSP for sophmore year. I wanted to focus more on my extracurriculars in freshman and sophmore year and I planned to fully focus on school only at 11th and 12th grade. Could I have done something different or perhaps this was a good idea.

[cinder gorge]

Yo guys
What's better for my college career
Wrestling or Swimming
I'm a freshmen btw
Starting next year

[austere tulip]

Could you not spread it equally

So have a semi difficult coursework

And continue extracurriculars

Because doing some extracurriculars and then giving them up doesn’t look good

[candid island]

Hello guys, I want to ask Is CS and Civil Engineering a good major for college? I want to know if I should consider these two for college

[sharp summit]

not too sure about civil engineering and ngl this only really been a rumor ive been hearing but— apparently CS isnt as good as people might think? i heard that its gonna be one of those things that AI's gonna "replace"— like with writing, art, etc. ofc you can still get a job but its probably gonna be one of those riskier careers in the future yk? but then again its probably too early to tell

with civil engineering theres prestige ofc, but i heard its also one of the lower paying engineering specialties? BUT thats still a high five figures so i would advice that route (do some more research though dont trust me 💀)

[mint thorn]

Yeah honestly I’m planning on doing law adjacent to cs because while cs is taken over, the amount of patents is going to be absurd

[sharp wigeon]

This is what my father believes as well having been an electrical engineer for over 20 years. He told me cs is a shaky field to go into because layoffs are common and you are always replaceable

[candid island]

Man seriously my father is a Civil Engineer himself and he works in IT 💀 lmao but I really wanna do architecture , it has always been my passion but the thing is that it doesn't really pay great yk?? CS is a shaky field but i am highly interested in coding, removing bugs, etc whateves. My both parents say that if I wanna do CS, I always have my freedom of choice but to get Masters or PH.D in CS so that I get a job that even A.I has a chance of making a mistake. Anyways thanks so much for the reply appreciate it!!!

[sharp wigeon]

If you have passion and an interest in cs why not give it a shot you could always switch majors, I guess just be wary of what you’re getting into because cs is usually the most competitive major at most colleges

[candid island]

yeah..right thanks man

[outer marsh]

is it better to take ap courses or cambridge courses

[unreal prairie]

What do you mean by cambridge?

like Cambridge A levels ?

the A level program takes 2 academic years to complete

and are quite hard tbh, but they can get u college credit for up to 1 year

[terse zinc]

guys i took three honors and 3 AP classes my sophomore year...

is that too much?

[austere tulip]

I think they’re talking about AICE

[austere tulip]

Nope

[worn sable]

i mean you should challenge yourself rigorously wherever you can and by extra curriculars the only it would pay off is if you were an Olympic level athlete, so yeah go for one or two more AP's next year, but if you are focused solely on an extracurricular I can't say anything about it.

[placid nexus]

Hi

[sudden plume]

Going into freshman year, could I sign up for AP classes at all, and are they worth it?

[placid nexus]

In high school or college

[sudden plume]

Hs

[placid nexus]

I recommend taking AP Human geography

[sudden plume]

Oh alright

[placid nexus]

I going to take AP physic 1 and AP Lit my senior year of high school if I could take AP classes

[golden cove]

gl

physics is hard

[placid nexus]

I doing JROTC 4 English 4 FPFA Emergency’ medical responder then gov and Econ then culinary arts for my senior year

[golden cove]

my physics teacher was good but i feel like he didnt give us enough ap questions for practice

[placid nexus]

I’m actually in NJROTC 3

Right now

You have marine JROTC

We navy

Better stronger Safeter smarter can do oorah

Cadet seamen I have gotten promoted this year

But I have a ribbon and two service stars

You also currently in jrotc or barely joining

That isn’t bad

Bruh

Nothing

What college

Nice

I going to BYU

If not St Edward university

Which is in Austin Texas

[soft jacinth]

Im currently a Sophomore in High School but was wondering how good this Senior Schedule is. In the future, (Junior yr) I will have taken Chemistry, AP Bio, AP Stats, AP Amer Gov, Math 4 and 5 Honors, and AP Lit and Comp. I probably wanna go to college but dont know where and I want to take as many ap’s without overwhelming myself. I also definitely wanna major in math,

Senior yr:

-APES
-Inorganic Chemistry
-AP Physics 1 or 2 idk which (my school doesn’t offer it directly, I would independently study with the help of the Physics teacher and take the ap test)
-Global Issues (Required)
-APUSH
-Pe 10-12 (Required)
-Calculus 1 (No AB and is required to take BC)
-AP Calc BC
-AP Macro
-AP Lang and Comp

Is this doable and realistic? Im pretty good at science and I’m extremely capable in math. I have a good social studies background and im decent at english

Oh and I have never taken an AP or Honors course

[sharp wigeon]

i had a pretty similar schedule ap wise senior year, a lot of these ap classes are easier and less time consuming likes apes, macro, lang (which should be lit because lang is usually for juniors). apush and physics should take more time and the amount of time you spend on calc bc kind of depends on you

[soft jacinth]

Imagine I don’t go to college

[sharp wigeon]

its not that hard of a class but you have to spend time studying

[soft jacinth]

Thats ok, I already know an ok amount of US History

But its totally doable right?

[sharp wigeon]

i think colleges will appreciate that youre staying dedicated to academics even into senior year but you can tone it down if you feel like it because it may be hard to stay committed into 2nd semester senior year

[soft jacinth]

Yeah and I’m worried abt like college apps and essays but I think I’ll be fine

Dam 😂

[sharp wigeon]

oh yah that might be an issue too

maybe try to get some of your college stuff out of the way because rd deadlines will be around when youll probably take your finals

[soft jacinth]

Okie

[sharp wigeon]

i did most of my college app stuff a week before and that was a horrible horrible week 😭

[soft jacinth]

That sucks mad balls ngl

😂😂

Yea I always check to see who teaches what so I get a good teacher

[sharp wigeon]

you guys got more than one teacher who teaches ap's

😭

my ap chem class only had like 15 ppl so there wasnt really any need i guess

[placid nexus]

Hello

[stone zealot]

Ok ok guys I need a bit of help

I wanna take Arabic, Italian, and Indonesian right

But as it stands I wouldn’t be able to take all of them at once

I need to get my foreign language credits right

Cause I’m lacking

And I don’t know which one to choose

I want to earn Arabic for primarily practical reasons (though I’m still interested in the culture of course.) I want to pursue neglected tropical disease, with the Middle East as my region of focus.

I want to learn Italian as a way to reconnect with my Italian heritage.

I want to learn Indonesian, because one of my classes had an honors dossier. The country I chose was Indonesia, and having written 23 pages for a paper it, I have grown an attachment to it and want to learn the language.

[modest glen]

It seems that we have a 3 way path. For you Indonesian would be the best for your wants it seems as you already have done much for it. You can always learn Italian with the side. As well as since you already have a somewhat decent relationship with it it may be the best. This may be the best way for you to gain credits.

[stone zealot]

My main concern then is finding good instruction in Indonesian. Most of what’s available is in apps, but with Arabic my Syrian friend recommended a tutor.

Although, my friend’s mom’s Indonesian friend reccomended an online program for it aswell

I think I may try and stick to Indonesian, considering NTD’s are also common there

[flint wyvern]

how worth it is asl? considering taking it over spanish beecause i dont want to do spanish anymore

[placid nexus]

Spanish isn’t that hard

At my high school they don’t offer ASL

I want to take AP classes but I not sure if my counselor will let me

[worn sable]

hey guys(and gals). Im trying to this summer take chemistry at the college level as so i can have access to ap chem my junior year, i have been hitting blockades from the AP chem teacher, AP bio, and all the science teachers. I absolutely can't do chem H next year then AP chem senior year, i am only allowd 8 classes every year and i have lots of plans for the senior year. so i need help/input on this

also can anyone tell me what does the collegeboard expect you to know before doing AP chem?

[hard kelp]

It really depends on the teacher, I took asl for my 2 years in high school. It was really fun and proactive, so it really depends if the teacher just hands you a book about it or actually does it hands on (as they should)

[viral crystal]

Quick question: I wanna study Biomedical Engineering but most of the unis I'm interested in don't offer it
So would it be almost the same to study Electrical Engineering with a concentration in something related to Biomedical Engineering?

[weary atlas]

Hey is there anyone who has taken Further Pure Maths in their A levels?

[viscid pilot]

It really depends

If you're just genuinely interested in the knowledge, sure

But if it'll be something job related with biomedical engineering, it is a safer bet to find other unis

[viral crystal]

Well kinda both, but is medical engineering the same as biomedical? And I also see some unis have biotechnology or biosystems, are they the same?

[viscid pilot]

Isn't medical engineering just another name for biomedical engineering? There should be no difference between them as far as I know

Those are the kinda things you can just google, but if it's a mix of both, I will suggest you to take the course where you'll learn the most

Not the best advice giver on this topic, as all the things that I know are experiences from others...

[viral crystal]

Alr then thx so much

[viscid pilot]

np

[austere tulip]

I had the same problem this year

Anyways so yeah you don’t need a prerequisite

Collegeboard recommends it

But everybody I’ve spoken to says you don’t need previous Chem to understand ap Chem

[stoic hare]

At what course can i learn quantum mechanics?

P.s I'm not college yet, it's just pure curiosity

[austere tulip]

Mit opencourseware

They have lectures on physics

Quantum physics

[native moon]

I’m debating on what summer classes I should take. I’m planning on taking one cc and one class my high school is offering. For cc I was debating on, (since I tried to take college algebra but they won’t let me because it would go over units and I don’t have math placement? Idk), Art appreciation, College success strategies, intro the business, public speaking, or Spanish 1. I’m not sure if these options all suck and I should not do them but I am trying to raise my gpa.

For my high school summer classes I am debating on- journalism and psychology

I’m not sure if these just seem lame since they are more electives since they aren’t math- but I want to increase my gpa. Any recommendations?

Btw I’m a junior going to senior year- so I’m cramming all the classes I can

[scarlet lodge]

i think all of those are good options. especially public speaking and spanish 1. Public speaking is a good skill that can be applied to any career (plus as a transfer credit for any college it’s a good elective). Spanish 1 could be used for any high school language requisites that you have; i know i used it for mine.

Is there any way you can take a psychology college class though? I know for my school we were able to.

oh also, what do you plan on doing in the future?

[native moon]

Business management

[native moon]

Yes there is general psychology, social psychology, development psychology

[scarlet lodge]

Can you only take one college class over the summer?

Because instead of a high school psychology class, you could just take a college level one. I don’t think it should be too diff? esp if you want to raise ur gpa

[scarlet lodge]

also with that, the intro to bus class is the best option for your summer class.

[austere tulip]

I think that’s fine

Unless you’re behind on math don’t worry about it

College algebra is like Alg II/precalc

I think

With trig

You will probably get credit for Ap lit

But probably not for ap enviro

[feral bobcat]

Will I be in deep trouble if I take calc ab over this summer then take calc bc the year after that summer (my senior year). During my junior year, I’d be taking AP stats since there’s not enough room for calc bc in my school next year. By that I mean there’s already a waitlist (I’m 2nd rn)

[feral bobcat]

College courses raise your gpa? Is it by the same amount as an AP?

[austere tulip]

Ok

That’s fine

[feral bobcat]

Fr? Calc bc ain’t hard??

I thought it would be one of those: if you go off route, you’re kinda screwed

[austere tulip]

No

If you study for it

It’s fine

And if you have taken precalc

Especially if you have done Calc AB before Calc Bc

You’re good

[feral bobcat]

I thought taking those 2 was a prerequisite for everybody

[scarlet lodge]

for me it is

[feral bobcat]

Mk

[native moon]

I’m going to take college algebra in the fall, since I should be able then. But for summer should I take business mathematics then? Or intro the business.

If a course is 0 units, does that mean you do not get a grade?

[austere tulip]

No

For us it’s precalc—->calc

[feral bobcat]

So for you, you’re able to skip straight to calc bc from pre calc?

[austere tulip]

It’s not a skip

It’s meant to be like that

Calc AB and Calc Bc are the same course

Calc Bc has two more chapters

[feral bobcat]

So calc bc is just an extension of AB with some more stuff

[austere tulip]

Yeah

Some schools decide they want redundancy

[feral bobcat]

Mk

[worn sable]

my school district requres it sadly

[worn sable]

they also go through topics faster

[feral bobcat]

I mean if it’s because BC is supposed to be a review of AB (for the most part) then that makes sense

[runic obsidian]

I'm considering pursuing a career in the medical field, possibly as a doctor or neurosurgeon (for money), but I'm unsure about which major to choose. Could you please provide some recommendations?

[sharp wigeon]

Your major for undergrad doesn’t matter that much as long as you think you can study well enough to prepare yourself for the mcat and take the prereqs that med schools require

[gloomy lotus]

bio, biochem, neuroscience, chem

like foosball said it doesn't matter much

you just have to take the required courses

[sharp wigeon]

Also taking an easier major lets you gpa farm and have more time for ec’s

Also unless you’re an academic weapon to a crazy extent I don’t think it’ll be fulfilling or worth it to pursue medicine only for the money

That’s for you to decide though you have a lot of time

[runic obsidian]

Which major will let me gpa farm tho?

[runic obsidian]

It’s really hard deciding tho, I don’t know what I want to be, I want to make money and I don’t care if it’s hard or easy, being a doctor seemed like a good choice to me, what would you recommend?

[gloomy lotus]

probs something like environmental science. Most gpa inflation is based off of the school, not the major. Some schools tend to inflate their gpa like crazy so going there will basically guarantee a high "gpa"

[gloomy lotus]

Also i'm just going to give my 2 cents: you shouldn't just be in something ONLY for the money. Pre-med is a tough af major and many of the classes you take in college are going to weed you out unless you genuinely have a bit of passion for it.

Going into something for just the money is not a bad idea - it's why so many people go into business/cs/med, but atleast for med you should like what you're going to do atleast a little bit, or else you're giving away 10+ years of your life for something you don't even enjoy

[runic obsidian]

Thanks, I don’t enjoy or have any passion for premed, how’s marketing, I saw it pays off a lot on gohars vid, I already am taking business as one of my class/course thing for g9

[gloomy lotus]

yeah marketing/account/law/ business in general generally pays off pretty well after college

if you're interested in it, go for it

but if you're just a 9th grader (your profile says so), you don't really have to worry about this for atleast a little bit. I would just explore new topics and find out what you really like.

I had no idea what I wanted to do until I started to learn to code where I really enjoyed CS and that's what i plan to pursue

[sharp wigeon]

Humanities is a common one people do

[runic obsidian]

Tysm

[sharp wigeon]

Also understand that medicine in the us is usually like a 12+ year commitment where you’ll have to also pay for undergrad/med school, there’s a lot of merit money/aid available thoigh

[runic obsidian]

Wow

[runic obsidian]

Does it pay off tho?

[sharp wigeon]

That depends on you, you could probably be making more money in other fields with substantially less effort. My dad believe a career in medicine provides stability like none other in that you’ll never be replaced

Depending on what you do in medicine you could be paying off loans for awhile though but that’s just more anecdotal stories that my parents have told me

[runic obsidian]

Same

[runic obsidian]

Thanks for the help

[sharp wigeon]

Np I’m not trying to discourage you but i think it’s good that you understand what you’re committing to, if you still are interested in pursuing medicine maybe try talking to a doctor or like your physician they’d probably be happy to tell you more and they definitely know more than I do

[runic obsidian]

I’ll try, again, thanks for the help 🙂

[sharp wigeon]

np

[mint thorn]

Also, if you have like any empathy at all, medicine is not a good field for you

You’re going to be treating the scum of the earth people on less than 4 hours of sleep

And you’re going to see a lot of people die

[left fossil]

me personally i don't have these problems because im going to try to go to trade school

[left fossil]

i thought medicine trained you to be a pharmacist not actually working on patients idk though

[mint thorn]

Uh no?

Going to med school doesn’t technically mean you’re with patients

But to become a doctor you have to do residency which is basically just free labor at a hospital for 5 years

[left fossil]

mb i don't know anything about this stuff im trying to be a barber

[mint thorn]

Yeah lol dw about it

Its not necessary knowledge for like 90% of people

[native moon]

Btw thanks for the advice, and @austere tulip I had emailed my college counselors and they said I could take college algebra after this high school semester is over and I send over my transcripts to prove I did algebra 2 and qualify

[scarlet lodge]

YAYYY

THATS EXCITING

CONGRATS

🫡 gl to ur summer classes

hope they go well

[fiery igloo]

Hi, if you don't mind can you tell me does Hight matter while joining college

[remote elbow]

no it doesn't, if you mean by height

[runic obsidian]

thanks for the advice 🙂

[cinder gorge]

hello other canadians

should i take grade 12 functions and calculus in the same year, or should i take them in different years?

[austere tulip]

Probably the same time is fine

[cinder gorge]

public catholic school?

yes

makes sense

because i saw you taking canadian history

it's required lol

lol i know i have to take it next year as well

i am going into grade 10 as well

nice

i'm in grade 8 rn but i'm planning ahead

oh alr

have you taken g11 functions?

or g10 math?

i'm interested to see what kind of content is in the courses so i can plan better

i am taking g10 math this summer

grade 10 math

same

think it's going to be hard?

i really do not know

apparently it's just g9 with more new content

i mean g9 is pretty easy

like if you pay attention in class and all and study

can confirm

hope quadratics aren't too bad

[cinder gorge]

it it is then it might be easy

yeah i checked a few units for g10

lots of coordinates and graphing

[cinder gorge]

i dont know i have a friend in g10 math he complains about quadratics all the time

[cinder gorge]

formula and factoring doesn't seem to bad, completing the square seems unintuitive

[cinder gorge]

i havent looked at the units so i cannot really conform

[serene spade]

[rich wraith]

i need help with english grammar

hi

[feral bobcat]

I heard calculus isnt really hard as long as you study and practice but if you’re talking about pre calc it was really easy for me

[cinder gorge]

yeah the concept isn't too difficult it's just kind of unintuitive

[feral lava]

If you really like it and are up for the rigor than go for it

[placid nexus]

Hi

[cinder gorge]

hi

[cinder gorge]

it's really up to you, it depends on your goal with it

are you in it for the money? is there something in particular you want to research? are you passionate about the topic?

[placid nexus]

I’m doing intro culinary arts Emergency medical responder then NJROTC 4 then English 4 FPFA then American gov and Econ for my senior year of high school

[feral lava]

I want to go into medicene, so should I take AP Psych or Linear Algebra?

[high nimbus]

How’s ap music theory in middle school

[worn sable]

bro what

[worn sable]

AP music theory is very hard at a high school level

...... In my opinion you should do it because it will challenge you

[static bough]

Guys do you know if AP Seminar is hard, I want to improve my writing but hopefully it's not a terrible experience

Also, does anyone know of anyone chemistry tutors/math tutors - my math & science need work

[fast igloo]

What's an AP?

[edgy garnet]

Arithmetic progression

[fast igloo]

Thanks

GM≥AM

[edgy garnet]

?

[fast igloo]

Geometric mean is greater than ot or equal to the arithmetic mean

[past spruce]

I thought it meant advanced practice, is this a joke or am I just stupid?

[worn sable]

no its advanced placement lol

[worn sable]

his joking

[fast igloo]

Where does that place you in?

[worn sable]

its just a term

by the college board

genrallyit gives yo a 1.0 gpa bump

[fast igloo]

What's gpa

[worn sable]

grade point average

[fast igloo]

Wdym by that

[worn sable]

umm how old are you

[fast igloo]

Old enough

[worn sable]

your in 10th grade

[fast igloo]

Yes

[worn sable]

i think your trolling right?

[fast igloo]

No

I'm curious

Coz here we don't have grades

[cinder gorge]

Engineering or medical

[worn sable]

gpa is average of all grades

[fast igloo]

Engineering

[cinder gorge]

Nice

[fast igloo]

Ok

[cinder gorge]

Civil or computers(AI)

[fast igloo]

Idk

[cinder gorge]

Xd

Both r besst

[fast igloo]

Whichever pays better

[cinder gorge]

Both tbh

[fast igloo]

I'll decide later

What's an AP btw?

@cinder gorge

[worn sable]

computer pays better and overall hotter

[worn sable]

bro you can search it up

im not trolling

[fast igloo]

Na bro I'm too lazy to switch tabs

[grim panther]

advanced placement

[feral bobcat]

No way you’re in 10th and not know what an AP is. What are your plans after graduating from high school?

[grim panther]

well i’m pretty sure AP are mainly a north american thing

you have to go out of your way in some other countries

[feral bobcat]

Tbh it was kinda stereotypical of me to assume that. I thought everyone here wants to go out of their way to get into more rigorous courses. Just for a better chance at college yk

[cinder gorge]

Application ig

[cinder gorge]

Oh that ain't AP it's AI means artificial intelligence

[fast igloo]

Give JEE and hope for the best🤞

[fast igloo]

[viral crystal]

Hey I have a question that apparently google doesnt have an answer to so if anyone can help me out here: Is the Oxford book about electrical and mechanical engineering good for high school students aspiring to study those fields? And what books would you guys recommend for an aspiring biomedical/electrical/mechanical engineer?

[round token]

I didn’t know what AP was in 10th either mainly because my private school doesn’t offer those just grade levelized classes

[viral crystal]

.

[royal swan]

I'm not familiar with that specific book, but it seems like a vocabulary book. If you find it interesting, give it a read, but I wouldn't expect it to be useful to learn much about engineering.

[proven totem]

Is it possible to learn Geometry with a tutor in just 2 months? How many hours would I need to study for it?

Is it worth doing it over the summer so I can be in Algebra II in 9th grade

(this is gonna cost me well over $700)

[grim panther]

not worth it lol

just take geo freshmen year

[gloomy lotus]

No not really

Not saying that you shouldn't do geometry over the summer - just don't get a tutor

700$ is outrageously expensive for learning something like geometry

you don't really even need a tutor, you can learn on online platforms like Khan Academy

but honestly, just take geo freshman year

you'll get to calc by junior/senior year

[broken rover]

I did it without a tutor

[vital olive]

depends on school tho

here they req ab before bc

(at my school)

so alg 2 was necessary in fresh year to take bc

[vital olive]

i'd do it if you had the money

[austere tulip]

That’s still calc

[austere tulip]

It’s possible to learn

Id recommend a more affordable option

Like summer school

At a local high school

Or community college

[left coral]

dont get a tutor bruh

just take the course itself if u really want to

[austere tulip]

If not then learn it at like udemy

Also alg II is easier to take over the summer

[left coral]

nah geometry is easier

imo at least

[austere tulip]

Lol in our high school Geometry Honors is considered the most difficult class

Other than Calc III but like that’s calc III

[faint lake]

should i go band or choir or none?

[still valve]

It depends on what you like to do. Which one do you like better? If you think it might be too much or you might not like it, pick something that you like instead.

[faint lake]

ok ty!

[still valve]

Np

[shy trout]

!findpartner Science

[proven totem]

you're right, thanks 🙂

maybe i should focus on learning biology this summer

i absolutely suck at science

[sour isle]

I'm doing geometry through BYU Utah over the summer online

it was like $300 with the textbook

there are much cheaper alternatives that may be more likeable out there

and no, I am not mormon

[proven totem]

can u send a link

[proven totem]

nah not really

[tough sun]

@cinder gorge you back

But i see you have been muted

Really

[viral crystal]

Hi asking this question again: what beginner books would you guys recommend for an aspiring electrical engineer with only basic high school knowledge in math and physics?

Bruh

You mean a course?

Yeah but

I feel like I'd prefer a book since I also wanna start reading

No man I just want the knowledge

But

Ok nvm, but, are there any electrical engineering courses published on youtube?

Dude no, like any channels that teach the basics of electrical engineering?

Alr then, thx

[austere tulip]

Wait rally

Really*

They didn’t count your freshman year?

The thing is classes often cost a lot of money

Especially in community colleges outside of California

That’s how much it costs at a CC in my state

[candid island]

Hello, I am having a query. I am looking for a major in college, it should pay well and also it should be interesting (it shouldn't bum me out after 2 hours) I am interested in Architecture and also CS. Any thoughts?

[broken rover]

bro community college courses rnt free

idk who told u that

[remote elbow]

I'm excited to hear people's opinions about this. Recently, my new school has just added two new subjects which are called 'Career and Enterprise' and 'Industry and Enterprise'. If all of you get to pick one of them, which one and why? I'm currently stuck between these two, so reading people's opinions could help me pick one of them 🫣

[broken rover]

I recommend u google “beginner electrical engineering courses reddit”

ur gonna find a lot of options at a low cost

u don’t need to get a class for everything

[broken rover]

can u explain the differences between them?

[viral crystal]

I'm not looking for a course my man, I just want a book I can read on my spare time, but thx anyways

[broken rover]

Oh ok

[candid island]

You may also want to explore the course content and speak with your school counselor or teachers for more detailed information on each subject. Remember, both subjects offer valuable knowledge and skills, so either choice can contribute to your personal and professional growth.

Personally, I would pick the "Career and Enterprise" because "Career and Enterprise" typically focuses on developing essential skills and knowledge related to career exploration, personal development, and entrepreneurship. This subject aims to equip students with the tools necessary to navigate their future career paths successfully. It may cover areas such as goal setting, resume building, job searching, interview skills, financial literacy, and the foundations of entrepreneurship.

It is up to you tho, if you feel comfortable doing Industry and Enterprise, then do it.

Industry and Enterprise teaches you about different industries, understanding their inner works, create problem-solving skills and critical thinking

[broken rover]

Really depends on what they are prioritizing at the moment

many of the skills that one can learn in career and enterprise can be sourced from family members and other trusted adults. However, it may be harder to come across the information taught in industry and enterprise, so that may be another point to consider.

[vital olive]

i mean, would you advance a course level?

if so, i would honestly do it

obviously if you see a cheaper option then go for it

but it's worth it imo

higher math levels often unlock higher science levels as well

• access to AP's early

many of my friends did the same for ~1000 and they don't regret it in the slightest

[austere tulip]

Oh

And do they do rank with unweighted?

Oh ok

[royal swan]

Are you wanting textbooks? You can learn some fundamentals with basic math and physics, but calculus is a prerequisite to most of engineering.

[viral crystal]

Ok so what books would u recommend for that?

[royal swan]

What math and physics classes have you taken?

[viral crystal]

I'm an IGCSE student

I take O Level Maths, O level physics, o level chemistry, and o level biology

Yeah but the thing is man, I'm not looking for classes, I understand its way easier, but I just want a book I can read on my spare time and also learn something that'll help me in my future career, just that

Ok would learning programming languages help a bit?

[broken rover]

where ru from

[tough sun]

Earth

[white wedge]

Same lol

[royal swan]

What topics are covered in those classes?

[viral crystal]

Math: Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, etc.
Physics: Mechanics, Thermal Physics, Waves, Electricity and Magnetism, Atomic Physics, and Space Physics

In Math there's also things like Functions, Vectors and differentiation which I think is related to calculus

[royal swan]

Programming can be a useful tool, but incoming engineering majors generally aren't expected to know a language.

[royal swan]

Do you know what imaginary numbers are?

[viral crystal]

Uhhh no not really

[royal swan]

Here's a book that covers fundamentals but won't be too watered down. You might find some of the math challenging (there's some calculus), which is why having a solid foundation in math is more important at this point.
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/fundamentals-of-electrical/9781439898079/

[viral crystal]

Alr then thanks 😊

[coral token]

Hey guys! As a grade 9, I'm wondering, for grade 11 what courses should I select. To quickly summarize my interest, I do very much want to become a doctor when I grow up. If your wondering, no, my mom did not force me to become a doctor. I'm interested in the field of epidemiology. Unlike many of my fellow colleagues and friends alike, I'm not disgusted by topics most are. Which, although could possibly play no role in my future, does only help my in my goal of one day becoming a doctor. I still do not know which field of doctor. Surgeon, of course, is a very prestigious role and at this moment, a surgeon is my goal to become. I'm doing well in mainly all areas of school getting an average grade above 92, and low of 86. Any suggestions in which courses I should be taking?

[flint wyvern]

ap bio, anatomy, the sciences basically @coral token

[coral token]

That is what I predicted most would say. Thanks, I said this just to get a clearer view of what others believe the courses I should partake in are. Thank you!

[flint wyvern]

im assuming ur taking bio rn as a freshman

i would take ap bio next year so all the stuff you learned in bio you can still remember

it'll be key to passing the class rather than going in without any info

[coral token]

Yes.

[flint wyvern]

yeah i would take ap bio next year if possible

[coral token]

Good advice, thank you!

[flint wyvern]

the only reason i was able to do well in ap bio was cause i remembered the stuff i learned from last year

but ap bio will give you the basics on the body that you'll need as a doctor

[coral token]

I'm planning on getting into HMS, so since High School is the or one of the most important roles of an individuals education, I was looking for some advice. You definitely secured my points!

[coral token]

Definitely taking ap bio! Thanks for the help!

[flint wyvern]

anytime :)

[sour isle]

So that I could do it entirely self paced

[vagrant harness]

Should I do geometry in summer so I can skip it and go to algebra 2 for my sophomore year?

[tardy reef]

If I was only able to take 3 years of foreign language due to a school transfer, do colleges take that into account when considering language requirement? (I took mandarin at my old school but had to transfer during freshman year)

[vital olive]

yes

[proven totem]

Definitely

[cinder gorge]

idk whether I should take AP Psych or AP Bio or forensics for my senior year, I want to study criminology so help plz

[austere tulip]

I would say take AP bio and then u can get rid of the college credit

And then can go deeper into forensics during college

Ap psych ig would work too

[cinder gorge]

is it easy to self study? because alot of the AP Bio teachers at my school suck, most kids get 2s and 3s

[austere tulip]

It’s memorization mostly

So it depends

[cinder gorge]

oh okay

I mean I already took honors biology so it’s not like I’m unfamiliar with it

[austere tulip]

Oh ok that’s good

Yeah you’ll be fine

[foggy adder]

Hello guys, is there any course that could increase my gpa and decrease my years at collage that i can do this summer?

[remote elbow]

'career and enterprise' has something to do more with profession or career, and 'industry and enterprise' is more to do with economic activity and business

[remote elbow]

Thank you so much! I will list your perspectives!!

[remote elbow]

I could ask them about it, for now, I don't think they'll like the idea if they ask why I'm asking something about this topic. They want me to focus in the STEM field.

[remote elbow]

It's preferable if you ask your school counselor or the college (you want to go to) about this. One tip that could help, is show them your grade or performance outcome to the college to prove that you did it

[solar vault]

what aps should i take to get the humanities classes out of my way in college and what aps and honors classes are good for just for the foundation for electrical engineering?

[tired marten]

I would reccommend calc and physics for engineering. If possible try to take some PLTW courses to start to get into the mindset of an engineer. If you are looking for more of an electrical engineer, I reccommend looking for a Digital Electronics PLTW class.

[quaint solstice]

Is AP Environmental Science useful to complete one of foundation in completing aerospace engineering ....????

[tough sun]

Both things are different ig

Environmental science and aerospace are different things

They are not linked with each other

[tired marten]

What are you looking at doing in aerospace?

How important is it to have 2 years min of foreign lang in hs

I havent done any

And im moving on to junior year

i was found out close to the end of sophomore yr that colleges like to see foreign lang

I took spanish in middle school (8th grade)

[dusty ivy]

is foreign language not a requirement for graduation at your school?

[brisk relic]

Made a pretty good score on my Spanish test and exceeded the requirement at my hs

yes but my counselors told me that my test scores were equivalent to 2 yes of foreign lang

Am i rlly doomed for admissions

im going to get rejected from everywhere 🙁😭😭🥲🥲

[dusty ivy]

if your counselors said that it's fine, it probably won't affect you that much

maybe on additional info section of your application you can add that detail in

[brisk relic]

This is my schedule for junior yr
Ap precalc
Ap physic 1
Ap us hist
Ap lang
Ap seminar/ ap spanish lang/ ap chem (dont know which one i should choose since not many ppl sign up for chem, resulting in no class)
academic decathlon
Orchestra!!

[dusty ivy]

or explain why you did not take a foreign language

[brisk relic]

ohh mkk

Thank uu

[dusty ivy]

mhm no problem!

[brisk relic]

This question made me stay up for the past 3 hrs

[dusty ivy]

also we have like almost the exact same schedule for junior year

LMAO

[brisk relic]

oo ur going to b a junior too??

[dusty ivy]

mhm!

[brisk relic]

o yeaaa B)

wats urs?

[dusty ivy]

but my siblings recently went through the college app process, so i'm pretty familiar with it now

[brisk relic]

im first gen 😭😭

[dusty ivy]

spanish 4 honors, ap cs a, ap physics 1, ap us history, ap lang, ap calc, asb

[brisk relic]

i have a younger brother who’s still in elementary and rlly want to lay s foundation for him

[dusty ivy]

ooh nice!

[unique cape]

Cam we swear here?

[dusty ivy]

um i think so??

not sure..

[brisk relic]

i dunno

[brisk relic]

Does ur school not offer electives??

[dusty ivy]

well spanish, cs, and asb are my electives

[brisk relic]

my orchestra takes up 2 periods so it gives us 8 classes

oohh weird

Well electives in my school

Are fine arts

theatre, orch, band, art etc

[dusty ivy]

oh yeah those are like one section of our electives

i think our school divides electives into 3 sections: arts, applicative skills, and something else i forgot...

[brisk relic]

What are applicative skills?

[dusty ivy]

like cs or cooking

not too sure how they divided the electives LMAO

[brisk relic]

I was in a cooking class last year

It was filled with kids who didnt fill out their schedule sheet

buncha trouble makers

it was awful

I dreaded attending that class

i dropped it

:p

[dusty ivy]

oh...

[brisk relic]

like the kids who get sent to juvie

The teacher hated our class

there were only like 5 ppl who cared abt cooking

[rocky palm]

Hey yo

[tired marten]

But when you get your degree, what do you want to do with it.

[candid adder]

Is a bachelor's of science in psychology worth it?

[supple eagle]

no

If you are wanting to try and help make more environmentally safe vehicles, I would reccommend doing AP Enviro. I would also try and find out if colleges require you to take enviromental science as well

[proven stratus]

I've only taken 2 years of Spanish, Spanish 1 and 2, and have received a perfect score of 100 in both classes. I am planning on self teaching the curriculum for Spanish 3 as I already have the resources to do so this summer. Since I would have completed Spanish 1 and 2 with a perfect mark and done a Spanish 3 course, do you guys think I would be ok for AP Spanish language and culture? Most people in my school who finish Spanish 3 using that curriculum go into AP.

[fluid silo]

What do you guys think of my schedule for 11th grade?

Lol r you referring to me

[fluid silo]

physics/chem is a science class + graduation requirement

[fluid silo]

counts as my technology credit for graduation, not science

[wild coral]

What do you think of my schedule for sophomore year of high school?

why?

my teachers wouldn’t let me do ap or honors

My school doesn’t offer that

Idk they don’t think it’s right for me or sum.

I wanted to

[fluid silo]

should i drop ap csa? i'm currently taking csp

lol

[wild coral]

they said I could probably do honors 11th grade and in 12th grade I could take whatever class I want

[fluid silo]

okay

[wild coral]

I should probably mention I have an IEP.

maybe that’s why

504 what?

[fluid silo]

what's that, if you don't mind sharing?

[wild coral]

Individualized education program

it’s good for colleges tho

I heard that

the internet

who on the internet?

Idk

Should I go to another school or just wait til junior year so I could join honor classes?

?

like what?

you want me to say that in DM’s?

no

what why?

It’s in New Jersey

having an IEP can be viewed as a positive thing by college admissions officers, because it shows that you've overcome challenges and persevered despite obstacles. It can demonstrate that you have the skills and determination to succeed in college and beyond.

[proven totem]

So like my state has a graduation requirement for fine arts credit should I take ap art history ( I don’t know anything about art)

[mighty mist]

Not really

[mighty mist]

They wont discriminate against you but also wont favor you

[fluid silo]

look up the curriculum and see if you like it

[austere tulip]

Wait why can’t you do it

Is it because of the IEP?

[wild coral]

My case manager told me I start with essentials, then the next year move to college prep (if the teachers think I’m good for it) then the next year. honors. She said starts like this. But someone kid said he was in biology honors freshman year. He said he scored high on the placement test in middle school

[austere tulip]

Wait so what’s your condition

[wild coral]

what do you mean

It says autism on myn but I don’t think I actually have

[austere tulip]

What’s 594

504*

I did

It’s a law protecting disabled people

What’s your condition

[austere tulip]

Oh ok.

That’s fine

[austere tulip]

I have a really smart friend who had autism and wasn’t allowed any honors classes either

Oh wow

I looked it up

Does not look fun to have

Yeah

It’s kinda sad considering you’re a musician

It said the affected ear has hearing loss

Lol yeah that’s who I was thinking of when I said deaf musician

[solar vault]

would yall rather do ap computer science or honors digital electronics if you were interested in the basic area of electrical engineering?

Reasoning?

[tough sun]

Learn electronic as side learning like in free time

[solar vault]

gotchu, what about the material? what would teach me more about electrical and embedded engineering?

[solar vault]

can I do both ap comp science and digital science if i have space in my schedule?

ok

you never took both, what did you take?

dude can you at least be helpful? you have been acting shit since i first asked a question in this channel

bro lmao look at your answers

what are you wanting to major in?

bro

should’ve said that at first

nvm

my bad also

i should've aksed someone who had experience

[gloomy lotus]

APCSA is 10x better if you're going into CSA

you can skip a semester of an intro-programming class

and APCSA will give you a jump-start if you want to get into competitive programming

since in that class, you'll learn about Data Structures, Algorithms, OOP, etc.

[gloomy lotus]

Yeah you can do both, but I would place a weight on APCSA

just trying to be helpful

no

[austere tulip]

Please don’t advertise. If you think this is helpful as an extracurricular you can put that in the extracurricular section

[austere tulip]

Yeah it’s also pretty introductory

So you don’t have to worry about going into something very difficult

[austere tulip]

Yeah

Lol I didn’t have space in my schedule

So I added zero hour PE

And now I’m doing Digital electronics and AP CS next year

So yeah I recommend both

They complement each other really well so just try to make space

[austere tulip]

If you had to choose however

Do digital electronics

Because that corresponds to electrical engineering more

[spiral horizon]

can anyone explain to me what general elective credits are and why they'd concern me as a highschool student?

[austere tulip]

Hi

[tardy pewter]

I didnt know where to go so i came here, when I finish secondary I want to go to Harvard. However I am in the Uk so I want to know if Harvard will cover travel fees to USA. All the websites I checked say there is a 50% chance

Although Oxbridge is the Harvard of UK. Oxbridge doesnt have the type of education im in for

[gloomy lotus]

50% chance of what?

Harvard's acceptance rate is not 50% and not even close -- if that's what your asking for

if your looking for covering travel fees, I believe it depends on your fin aid situation

not too familiar with international college applications so I may be wrong

[tardy pewter]

50% chance of fin aid they said

Uhhhh no

Maybe 50% of their international students have FA, but that doesn’t mean that you have a 50% change of getting it

[cinder gorge]

hey, does anyone know how to convert between canadian hs math courses (e.g. MTH1W, MPM2D) to american courses (e.g. Algebra I, Pre-Calculus)

[eternal gazelle]

nope

[cinder gorge]

oof

[glossy terrace]

what should i take

[cinder gorge]

kind of a broad question

what are you interested in, and what are your goals?

[glossy terrace]

aerospace mainly

im just trying to get credits mainly tho

[cinder gorge]

ooh nice

if it's just for credits, i heard ap psych is pretty easy

doesn't require too much background knowledge

[glossy terrace]

thing is final exam

[cinder gorge]

just study for it like you would any other

[glossy terrace]

hm

what about history

like which one is easier to do

[cinder gorge]

us or international?

[glossy terrace]

any

i like history but idk which one would fit me more

[cinder gorge]

us history is apparently easier

go for whatever you're interested in tho

no point in studying an elective for something you don't care about

[lone lion]

^^

[glossy terrace]

whats the difference between honors and ap

[cinder gorge]

ap is harder

[glossy terrace]

forgot about the differences

[lone lion]

both weighted

ap u get credits

if u do good on ap exam

[cinder gorge]

ap is college credits

[glossy terrace]

hm

[lone lion]

ap is harder fs

[fluid silo]

tbh at my school at least, the only difference between honors & standard is the gpa difference and honors is more fast paced

[lone lion]

and looks better

[fluid silo]

that's about it

[cinder gorge]

alr i gtg now so uh yeah, hope you find your answer lol

[glossy terrace]

imma ask a staff if i could get into some ap classes

i was planning on taking 3

but

people said its not a good idea

[zealous estuary]

Senior Year Classes

CS is Community Service

Everything besides Eng and CS is DC

[flint wyvern]

is dual enrollment hard?

[magic orbit]

i heard apush is harder 💀 💀 💀

[tough sun]

Apush is history?.

[magic orbit]

apush is ap us history

apush = ap us history

[tough sun]

Usa also own history?.

[magic orbit]

us is united states 💀

[tough sun]

Yeah

[magic orbit]

usa has alot of history

that's part of the ap course as well

[tough sun]

but after 1800 usa is democratic country

[magic orbit]

the civil war

world war ii

more that i dont know cus i never took us history

[tough sun]

Ohh yeah usa involves in every geopolitics

I see

[magic orbit]

apush is essentially from native americans, to colonization, to the civil war, to the world wars, to present stuff in the us history

https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-united-states-history

[vital olive]

ong no way

ap us history has us history🤨🤨
