CSP shouldn't be too bad. APUSH can be a little difficult though

#

depends on your teacher

full tinsel
#

Oh

#

I got the GOAT in terms of APUSH

#

I plan on majoring in astrophysics in college but this year I plan on knocking out a majority of graduation requirements

#

Junior and Senior Year is when I'll load on my science and math classes

#

Also cuz I would like to get another social study AP done should I self study AP HUG if I can?

When u share your schedule you might want to block out the name of your teachers and your high school building name

Yo which one would be better to take Discrete math or AP Human geo. For context I am a high school senior this year and I want to major in environmental engineering. So far I have Calculus BC, Engineering class, English Honors, AP Chem, AP Psych, and Spanish.

#

I know that like Discrete is more technical for engineering but also human geo maybe better for my pursuing major

normal ember
# willow otter Yo which one would be better to take Discrete math or AP Human geo. For context ...

I can't really comment much on this (I'm only a rising Sophomore) but what I can tell you is that AP Human Geo is a great class that actually taught me a lot about the world and how things work. However, it is Human Geography, after all, not Physical Geography. (Once again, take this advice with a grain of salt as I'm not very experienced)

If you would like me to send you various lessons I saved from my Human Geography class for you to see if it would be a good course for you, DM me

Should I take AP World first?

That’s how a lot of ppl do it

The thing is, for the program i'm doing in my school, I have to take both AP World and AP Gov by 10th grade,so I have to decide which order I do it

pearl mesa

Take world first then

#

OK tysm

pearl mesa

Tho it’s probably harder

#

I’d still say take world first

why

The things you learn in AP world can act as building blocks for things you’ll learn later

One question, shoud I take Cisco network engineering technology or computer science A?

It will be in addition to AP CS principles

its also a great introduction to CS

Hey so should i take regular physics my junior year or wait until senior year to take ap and take an easier class?? I cant take it this year because it doesn’t fit my schedule but i can do regular and if i do regular will i be fine taking ap physics 2 or c next year without 1?

I plan to study mechanical engineering btw

My bad ill try again 😪

So now im a junior and couldn’t fit ap physics to my schedule but i can fit regular

Idk if i should wait until next year to take ap physics 1 or simply take regular now and then on senior year go to ap physics 2 or c

hope that’s better

Im currently stuck between taking AP Precalc over APUSH (they are the same period) this year (junior year). I want to study computer science in college so I was thinking that it would make more sense to take AP Precalc this year and take APUSH Senior year (where colleges dont see exam scores until after admissions) and I already have 4 other AP exams to worry about. So wouldn't it make more sense to swap out APUSH for AP Precalc this year?

how is AP Lang :(, this not my best subject

i am going to pass out in the beginning of next year,hardly few months left
with that in mind,I have an entrance exam in which I'll have to appear for a minimum of four subjects and the condition is that whatever subject I'm choosing for my degree should be in those 4 subjects.
I'm really keen on pursuing a bachelors in french. But I have not touched it since the last 2 years,the grammar,I mean. I had been studying French for five years before 2022. I can still understand a lot of it but sentence formation has obviously become rusty. On the contrary,the subjects I'm studying right now take up 95% of my time(physics biology chemistry and engineering graphics)
my parents have been suggesting me to pursue a degree in either genetics or microbiology and I'm fine with both of them because these two subjects also appeal to me

i could either appear for the entrance with my 4 subjects as biology chemistry english and engg. graphics
or I could take up french as the fourth subject instead of either engg graphics or chemistry
but I'm not so sure of taking a risk and appearing for an exam of a subject that I've not studied since two years. At the same time,I'm confident enough that within a few months,my french will be back to normal,as languages are a strong point for me. But I don't have the time currently. A solution to this is that we have a holiday break for a month before the entrance exam.

the forms would be out for entrance any day now and we'll have to select our subjects. I'm not sure if I can cover up my french in a month,but I really really do not wish to regret my decision in future because this is going to be a crucial step in my career life

does anyone know how i should take an arts class in my high school career? im not realy planning to major in the arts or anything, but I know you have to have one for UC schools, so I am wondering on how to fit in a class. for example, could i do an arts class virtually (through virtual va for me) or could i self study ap music theory (or would that not count as an arts credit??) i am currently a freshmen (or i will be when school starts)

Tho I don’t think I would do that

do uc schools care about what art class u take

if i replaced csp with apes, it would still be a little chill but ap chem would add the rigor to my schedule

Take both into account, work load and how much you’ll enjoy it. Don’t take a class you think you won’t like

So I love my current schedule but my counselor just called me in to talk about switching out one of my classes for ap stats since I only have one semester this year, making it a grand total of 3.5 years of math instead of 4. The most selective of the universities im applying to have a requirement for 3.5 and a recommendation of 4 but I have a really good gpa and extracurriculars and good sat score so I feel like it would cover for that in a way? I really don’t want to change my schedule to put in an ap class I don’t want to take simply for this, should I actually try and see what I can move or just take the schedule I have already and maybe ta for my math teacher and whatnot? (I know ta-ing doesn’t cover that semester but it might still look good, especially cuz I’m getting a letter from the teacher)

I am going to start my igcse syllabus soon and my school has already made us pick our subjects however I am a bit worried since I picked computer science. My parents encouraged me to pick it since it will be beneficial for me in the future and to that I don’t disagree. I am not really interested in computer science or planing to continue to study it in the future, my parents just think it’s good to have some basic knowledge on the subject. I am not confident in my computer science ability since our lessons in computer science during middle school was really basic and inconsistent. I am willing to try to learn but I am worried that I well regret it as my teacher did say that computer science is a subject that if you don’t understand the basics you will just be stuck there. Does anyone have some tips on what I should do or whether I should just change it as I will be starting the syllabus in like a week since I do not want to change my subject halfway.

gloomy lotus
full tinsel
#

Alr I'll self study it

gloomy lotus
# full tinsel Alr I'll self study it

cool, but I wouldn't recommend self-studying it unless it pertains to your major for these reasons:

1 - The main purpose of taking an AP class during school is for the GPA boost and exam college credit. If you're self-studying the class, you get no GPA boost, so that's out of the picture. All you have left is college credit. I see a lot of people sel-study classes that are just irrelevant to their major. So in the end, you've spent tens of hours studying for an exam which (might) not even give you credit.

2 - AOs aren't going to be impressed if you spent your free time studying for an AP class. They would rather see you do things like volunteering, research, competitions, businesses, clubs, etc. All they takeaway from you self-studying an AP class is that you've wasted a lot of time (assuming the AP class is not related to your major)

A good comment from someone on reddit:

If one has a true intellectual curiosity that cannot be fulfilled by the HS curriculum, dual enrollment courses are a better option. Or proposing an independent study under the supervision of a teacher. aOs care more about course performance over 30-36 weeks than the scores from a 3 hour exam.

Summary: Only self-study if you're genuinely interested in the content/material and plan to use the credit from the AP class (assuming you pass) for college. You can also do it if your school doesn't offer much
