[tiny lily]

IKR? 🤣

[rugged moth]

I think I’m gonna do more research

[jolly mural]

UGH I HATE WHEN PEOPLE PRESSURE THEIR KIDS TO DO STUFF

[tiny lily]

dw bout it, join clubs and watch vlogs or stuff. try to do things and see if you enjoy them

[jolly mural]

yeahh

(says the freshman)

[tiny lily]

Find out whats your priority in life. Making a lot of money or doing something you like

[mortal hedge]

Nah, if you can imagine yourself doing it years down the line and do truly enjoy it, go for it. Plus, you don't have to have been planning to pursue law or any other type of career from the get-go, you've got plenty of time

[rugged moth]

making a lot of money = traveling which I wanna do

[tiny lily]

OMG same

lmaooo

[rugged moth]

My goal is to get a job, where I get enough money to move me and my family to europe

[jolly mural]

I’ve been so focused on school I forgot Karen’s existed 💀

[rugged moth]

original plan was to study abroad (UK or AUS) and then get a job here, then move me and my family to turkey where I can be a nurse there

[jolly mural]

interestinggg

[jolly mural]

And customer service

[rugged moth]

I rlly want to go to UK or aus and I think going to a uni there would be the easiest

or berlin, they have a free uni which I need to do more research abt

[rugged moth]

Working in customer service seems like a nightmare

[tiny lily]

But its for a limited time. For a flight attendent, you have spend a whole flight while serving them which is worst

[rugged moth]

do u have to pay for ur hotels?

if ur a flight attendant

[tiny lily]

nope

[jolly mural]

I have no idea I hope not

[tiny lily]

Everything is paid

they even sometimes give you stipends

[jolly mural]

do u guys think being a school psychologist/counselor is a good idea

wait what’s a stipend

[full tinsel]

That's why

[tiny lily]

Nope, not tryna deal with jeffry dahmer \

[full tinsel]

I'm going to get a PHD

Anyways

APUSH

AP CSP

Roster for this year

Hopefully I can attend the Princeton

[untold goblet]

Hey, is double major in mechatronics eng and Cs cybersecurity worth the time and money?

[pure sapphire]

Does anybody know anything about PLTW classes

Do colleges value them

[tiny lily]

Same

[humble heron]

you should rethink that bc it was a tough exam ngl, i managed to get a 5 but not everyone in my school was that fortunate... i believe in you tho, you got this

[tiny lily]

Hated the class and the teacher was useless. Ended up with a 1

[humble heron]

ohh its okay, as long as you try your best thats all that matters

[tiny lily]

Computer science isnt my thing is what i learned lol. Got on APHG on the flip side

[humble heron]

yeah and i totally understand, i did chemistry as a freshman and i hated that course so much

[tiny lily]

Yep, it really either depends on the teacher or the topics. What classes r u taking this year if u dont mind me askin?

[humble heron]

im doing computer science A, ap biology, multivariable calculus, spanish III, ap world history, world literature and science fair

[tiny lily]

Thank you

[austere tulip]

Yes

I think they’re good for going into engineering

Idk if colleges value them

They might be counted as rigorous though

[austere tulip]

Join interesting business clubs

Think of problems that you are facing or people around you are facing and try solving those

[pale creek]

Ap CSP
Ap Comparative Gov
Ap physics 1

Give tips pls

[pure sapphire]

W multi variable calc

I wish my school offered it

Are you a sophomore btw

Cuz that’s kinda crazy

[full tinsel]

CSP 5 ez

[humble heron]

then what would you do after taking Calculus

[humble heron]

yeah

[pure sapphire]

I just take statistics then hl math

[humble heron]

ohh i see

[humble heron]

what is hl math

[pure sapphire]

It is basically a lot of college math

Like calc, etc.

It only goes up to calc 2 but there are a lot of concepts

[toxic girder]

Hey I’m an incoming freshman and eager to go into architecture and aiming for Stanford what classes should I take

[fervent jasper]

Hard ones

[violet dagger]

prob math right

maybe some engineering design class? idk how well it'd apply to buildings tho

[tiny lily]

Math, Physics, and AP stats maybe?

[solar vault]

architecture? so kinda like civil engineering?

if so, take engineering classes

do architecture projects and research internships

and take like ap stats, its pretty useful in civil engineering

oh yea also physics

[tiny lily]

They work together but not the same

[solar vault]

and calc ab bc

[solar vault]

yea but kinda similar

[tiny lily]

mhm

[full tinsel]

And AP Pre-Calc!

99.99% of top schools now require AP Pre-Calc!

[tiny lily]

They required AP Calc way before so its a no big deal. But does that mean you can't skip Pre-Calc and go straight to Calc?

[wary rock]

I don’t think you can do that anymore. I have to take ap pre calc rn and theres really no way around it unless you take it over the summer, which doesn’t give you the ap credit

[tidal stag]

Hey guys, this year I'm self studying Hug, Psych, Comp gov, US gov, APES, and CSP. I'm a freshman, will any of these courses be too hard for me, being intended for higher grade levels? also, is self studying a high quantity of AP exams even worth it as a freshman, (will it look impressive to colleges)

[tiny lily]

Damn that sucks

[pure sapphire]

Ap precalc is such a sped class

Like don’t take it

Just take ap calc

Cuz no college gives a shit abt precalc unless you are going into humanities

[hollow ore]

All the AP Physics

[pure sapphire]

Ap chem

Try seeing if you can dual enroll in some engineering classes

[wet canyon]

If i may I ask does engineering require more of chem or Cs?

[cinder gorge]

sup guys, incoming freshman here. it's a little too late to pick courses for grade 9 (i don't have any options anyways) but i was wondering what i should do for future grades. i'm aiming for bio/chem engineering at mcmaster or ut (maybe, just maybe, mit). what extracurriculars and courses would i need? and how much of a balance between things i want to take and things i need to take would i need? thanks

[cunning remnant]

Im also planning to go into architecture and what have to say is:
Take engineering classes (they help understanding the engineering mindset and also makes sure the engineers are on your side when you make a concept)

Some arts (some colleges require you to send an art portfolio for architecture)

AP Art History, Physics and Stats (All useful for architecture and helps with credits in college)

[pure sapphire]

Well it depends like if you are going into chem or bio engineering then you need chem more but besides that it’s a bit more cs

[wet canyon]

I see. Tysmm

[shut pagoda]

does ap world, ap physics 1, 10th grade language arts (honors), precalc and spanish sound manageable for a sophomore with extracurriculars until 6 after school? or should i take regular physics

[gentle grove]

Dont take CSP. All you lern throughout the year could be covered in 2 hours. Take AP Physics 1 and you will be depresed for a while but ten years later I grantee you will not regret it.

[pure sapphire]

This is what I plan to take in high school, I prolly need to ask more about some of the aps in sophomore year but this is around what I’ll take:

[shut pagoda]

u are such a slay

[pure sapphire]

Thank you so much 😊

[pale creek]

My school been started for a month lol I already have all the classes

They’re easy so far

[pale creek]

Nice job dude

I did integrate 2 over summer so I could skip it

Currently in algebra 2 but I’m doing pre calc and just looking over calc AB to prepare for Calc BC junior year (next year)

[pure sapphire]

Nice

Algebra II and precalc are basically the exact same tbh

[half schooner]

Im thinking of taking psychology over econ

thoughts?

[pearl mesa]

If you think you’ll like it more, then do it

[half schooner]

Yeah but im afraid it’s not what i expected or its gonna be too hard

[pearl mesa]

You’ll never know until you try it out

And usually you’re able to switch classes as long as it’s early on in the yrt

Year

[half schooner]

literally the second day

I’ll cave in and send a request to switch

[pearl mesa]

Lots of ppl do it

But if you think you’ll like psych

Then do it

[austere tulip]

That’s great

But yeah ap lang is usually a junior cladd

Class*

[solar vault]

are you fr?

it is now required to take ap pre calc before calc ab and bc for the top schools?

[pearl mesa]

That’s not true

I’ve never heard that before

And it doesn’t make any sense

Unless we’re talking abt smth other than admissions

[full tinsel]

Jk

Take it if u can

To prep for Calc

I don't want to be sued for slander

[lone lion]

advice on whether i should take an online course for ap micro and an elective data science course amongst my junior year w hard classes

😍

[cedar sparrow]

actually??

[compact spruce]

Should I drop AP calc AB? It’s something I know I can take, it would just be a struggle. I want my senior year to be easier, but not too easy- I’m taking 3 other APs (lang psych geo), along with work and XC, and I don’t really want to feel burned out. However, my college that I want to apply to wants to see calculus instead of stats. Should I drop it altogether, move to honors calc, or perhaps something else? Is it really worth taking a math class my senior year, I’m already not taking a science? (I want to major in poly sci)

[compact spruce]

Let me elaborate, I want to have an easier senior year, but I don’t want to slack off completely

[sour prism]

freshman here. this year, i am supposed to take geometry, but i would consider myself a more advanced student and already know geometry; should i switch to algebra II or even precalc my freshman year, and if so, how?

[warm ledge]

which state?

or school to be precise?

its mostly based off of the assistant principals opinion

[sour prism]

🤨

wdym

cause how would the ap know anything about me

do they talk with my middle school teachers or something

[warm ledge]

well you have some academic weapons who got ap calc bc freshman year because they were able to convince the assistant principal that they have completed precalculus and have the ability to perform in that class

[sour prism]

yeah i can see lmao

how would i go about switching out of my current class though

thats what im mostly curious about

[warm ledge]

that really depends on each school lots of them have a program office you can contact that can handle that part for you

[shut rivet]

have u only done algebra 1?

[sour prism]

yes

[shut rivet]

And u want to move to algebra 2

[sour prism]

but i finished it with 100 final 🥴

[sour prism]

yea

[shut rivet]

Make an appointment with your counselor

[sour prism]

should i just shoot them an email

[shut rivet]

No make an appointment in person

[sour prism]

i barely even know that shes my counselor, i havent spoken to her yet

idk where her office is

[shut rivet]

It’s okay

Your counselor will help you

[sour prism]

alright

[shut rivet]

I’m not sure if u can skip classes like that though

Depends on ur school

[sour prism]

ill try

ty

[shut rivet]

yw

[full tinsel]

Schedule an appointment

I did that when I wanted to switch majors and classes

[wary rock]

Also a freshman, I took geometry and algebra 2 at the same time, the year after I took algebra 1. I would say don’t skip either class, because they are helpful but if you can, its not hard to take them at the same time. AP pre calc is a lot different from any math class that comes before it and its quite a large step.

Since pre calc is already a big change, I wouldn’t try to jump from algebra 1 to that

[sour prism]

ok

ty

[pure sapphire]

Nah bro only math course you should skip is algebra II cuz geometry and precalc are good for calc

Idk why ap precalc exist tbh

I’m such a big hater of it

[shut pagoda]

is it manageable to take ap physics and ap world along with my other core classes as a sophmore?

[cinder gorge]

physics c?

[cinder gorge]

or electricity and magnetism?

[austere tulip]

Yeah I’m just taking it for gpa credit

The course itself not great

Like the exam doesn’t even contain anything about parametric and polar equations

[magic orbit]

lmfao what

[austere tulip]

Yes

I am a 23 grad .But now i am confused on which career is better to take should i go with C.S general or C.E pathway in networking or pathway in info security (these are majors that my college offer). The rise of AI is making me not so sure about if C.S will still be good in the future , but also in the C.E programs i woul not have that much job oppurtunities or felixebility because i am ristricted in one pathway. I would really appreciat the help

[verbal hearth]

I'm a Junior (Grade 11) from Canada with my current courses this year being:

American History
World History
Biology
Chemistry
Functions (Math)
French
English
Politics (In French)

I want to be a History Teacher at a University with another degree in pharmacy. Recently I've developed an interest in law and economics as well and am wondering if I should drop my sciences for those in Grade 12 and maybe take a summer course for at least one of my sciences to fit room in for one of those classes. I don't know what I want to do with my next year and need some thoughts. Would Economics, Law, or even Geography be better for my History or should I keep my Sciences. Thanks.

[full tinsel]

How are u taking American History?

[mint swan]

can someone tell me how much hrs of hw imma be getting w this schedule

ap physics 1, algebra 2 H, English 9 H, spanish 2, pe, intro to social science research. intro to comp programming (no hw for this class rlly), pre ap world history, AP human geo,

[wet rune]

maybe like 3 hours easy, depends on how much you study for ap human, not that hard, ap world might have a little bit more, youll have a couple enlish essays, but mostly time in class to work, ap physics really depends on teacher, and alg 2 is like a good half hour to an hour depending how much you get done during the day

[peak fiber]

i’d say focus on that ap physics

we’ll focus on all classes but that will probably beed to be taken more seriously

[cedar sparrow]

Yup a lot of your work will probably go into Algebra 2, AP Physics and APHUG

those classes have the most workload

[peak fiber]

i had sm notes in ap huh

hug

so annoying

[cedar sparrow]

if you think that's annoying wait until you get to APWH or APUSH

aphug notes were easy af

compared to apwh notes

u got questions in aphug

atleast I did for every notes we had to do

[peak fiber]

i’m in apwh but notes are optional and there not a grade

out notes were different thought

they were grades

[cedar sparrow]

and it was geographcical memorization kinda

[peak fiber]

not completion

[cedar sparrow]

it was interesting tho

[peak fiber]

and we had an open notes test with the notes on top of normal unit tests

it was weird

[cedar sparrow]

you mean like pre-ap or like actually AP

[peak fiber]

ap

[cedar sparrow]

actual AP is a college-level course

pre-ap is like the advanced version of the course

[cedar sparrow]

aight man just bc u wrote pre ap world history

thats all im asking

[peak fiber]

i’m a different dude bro

💀

that other guy is in pre ap

i replied to his msg

[cedar sparrow]

oh shi mb

u also in apwh this year so ok

aight me too

[peak fiber]

it alr

ap world is acc interesting so far

i think i’ll like it

[cedar sparrow]

Yea

it seems interesting and engaging

my teacher is kinda chill and im doing well in the class so far

[verbal hearth]

Anyone?

[verbal hearth]

I live close to the U.S. Some people where I live go to the U.S. for studies so they offer it.

[prisma lynx]

it really depends on if its just an interest or if its something you really want to pursue, if you want to pursue it then you might want to change based on what you feel will help you more with achieving that goal, i dont have an interest in either of those so i cant really give much useful advice

[low igloo]

Can anybody give me any tips for ap human geography this year?

like study materials online and stuff like that

also do you have to know all the countries on the map for ap human geography

For anybody who has taken AP Seminar/Research-
-What did you do?
-What did you learn?
-Did you enjoy it?
-How much dedication?
-Any big pros/cons?
-Would you recommend taking it if it meant sacrificing sleep (0 hr)?

[cunning remnant]

AMSCO is basically what most teachers use

and i think thats agreeable

its better than most textbooks

but its annoying to have to read it

so read it when you need help basically

You dont need to know every country

only important ones that youll most likely have to discuss

Teach will prob throw some map quizzes at you

Its not a hard class but if you dont have a deeper knowledge on geographic and demographic concepts as well as societal planning it can be intimidating at first

[opaque silo]

guys do yall think i should take ap human geography my sister said it was hard and i shouldnt but i need opinions

[cursive saffron]

Any AP Seminar/Research takers?

[minor saddle]

My experience with seminar was just a lot of work especially with the annotated bibs in like a 2 day span due date

Especially second semester

Cant really say much about research cause Im taking it right now

I will say this, it isn’t a hard class, you just got to do the work despite it being a lot

Don’t procrastinate, if anything, start on it the moment its assigned because if you just push it all the way near the due date, you will feel overwhelmed having to read 6+ 30 page articles

[cinder gorge]

Is there any way I can go back to sophmore year from junior year

After completing or not completing junior yr

It's been 3 weeks since I've been a junior

Hi, I am a freshman in high school. I am taking TV production and because I got switched in late, I got a bad group. This group may cause me to get a bad grade on a project, and I can’t get out of it. On one hand, tv production is kind of fun, but stressful due to my group. Personal finance is boring, but it’s easy. Should I switch classes, or take the possible bad grade and figure it out?

[compact sapphire]

If you plan on taking calc then take ap precal

[real otter]

So I’m in year 9 now so I’m picking my gcse plan and I have pick pe health and well-being because it moves into pe and then o have also picked buisniss

[cursive saffron]

Would you actually recommend the class, though?

[pale plaza]

if you feel like youre gonna get a bad grade overall in final report cards drop it or if you think you can get a suffice grade even with ur "bad" group then go for it

[dapper sky]

Can anybody guide me on whether I should take AP Comp Gov or AP US Gov and politics .
Both are 1 sem courses in my school and I wanna go in the one which is comparatively easier and less workload.
I was thinking of taking AP psychology but turns out that it's not as easy as it seems.

[minor saddle]

if youre just tryna get college credit

no..

but

if you want to take research then sure

[minor saddle]

(a lot of colleges dont have counterpart to seminar)

[tepid sun]

Do high schools (usually) allow students to double up classes, for example taking U.S. History and World History in the same year, in multiple subjects?

[sick crane]

how many ap classes should i take

in order to get into top colleges/ivy leagues

like NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, and etc

[tepid sun]

You want a rigorous course load, but AP classes don't guarantee admission. Also, why do you want to go to top colleges?

[sick crane]

I see top colleges as my personal perferance

But most of the time

I rather go for match/safety schools

they seem to meet my personal desires

such as degrees in related careers

[tepid sun]

To me it's superficial, a college degree is something to be proud of no matter the name at the top.

[sick crane]

Indeed it is

[tepid sun]

Top colleges don't matter as much as one would think if you aren't going into a career like investment banking or want to work at the most prestigious hospitals in the country

[sick crane]

Yea I agree with that statement

Its just that

I been more focused on reach schools

than safety and match

yea I researched safety and match schools as my back up plan

but I am just madly worried if I will be considered as a failure to others

[pearl mesa]

Depends on your school, ask your counselor

[pearl mesa]

As many as you’re able to handle

There’s no magic number

is it recommended to fastrack organic chemistry for a junior while having physics and bio in the same semester? would it be difficult to deal with the workload

[cunning remnant]

you absolutely can its a cake walk of a class if you just follow the leader

[normal ember]

Nah I actually think it should go to AP Calculus EF

[cunning remnant]

We dont have AP World yet most people took AP HUG

[normal ember]

And yeah just know your vocab and you should be fine

Hi. I’m a junior and I’d like major in Cs. These are the aps I’m taking this year. I’m worried I’m not doing enough. Here is what I’m taking;
Ap Calc BC
AP CSA
Honors Physics ( school doesn’t offer ap physics 1 but honors physics is the equivalent and I will be taking the ap exam)
Honors Spanish 4

[mossy osprey]

I speedran Spanish in middle school and I passed the B1 test, should I switch to German this year as my first year of high school considering the fact that I'm not learning anything in Spanish class

[mint sky]

lmao

[mint sky]

I think there should be AP calculus غ غش

[full tinsel]

Another great course for CS is

Statistics

Like on g idc about ur major AP Stat is so usefup

[drifting hearth]

Those are good enough

Just make sure to keep your grades up consistently throughout the year and get that 4 or 5 in may

Side note - don't forget your ecs, don't have to do too many just make sure to make them impactful

[worn canopy]

Hey guys should I take geometry H and algebra 2 H together next year?

[obtuse vigil]

Do what u think it's best for u 😁

[tough helm]

I think geometry is a pre-req for algebra 2

[pure sapphire]

I mean technically they are but a lot of ppl take them at the same time

It’s not like algebra II and precalc

[tough helm]

My school doesnt allow that i think

[pure sapphire]

That’s tough

[tough helm]

lemme check

[pure sapphire]

Usually you gotta ask a counselor

[tough helm]

wait wtf

it does allow it?

HUH?

damn

im in 8th grade so like i dunno...

ill just take algebra 2 in the summer tbh

[worn canopy]

They said I can do that but it won't be honors

I want honors

[tough helm]

me personaly i would take it

cause then you could do more ap classes

[worn canopy]

But it's for credit retrieval so it's going to be so crammed

[tough helm]

oh...

[cursive saffron]

AP Seminar/Research takers: do you recommend taking both for the sole purpose of learning skills/knowledge? Why/why not?

Is it wise to skip physics 1 and physics 2 and go straight to physics C (Yes my hs offers that 💀). I already know a decent amount of physics and planning to take it in 11th and 12th grade. If I study and learn a lot of content till 11th grade, would it be wise.

[white stump]

good schools for an education major(language arts) ? the country doesnt matter-- im willing to travel to the US but id have to research more the conditions. Ive heard in the US the government pays your studies if you teach in an urban place for 5 yrs. Truth? Does it only apply to locals?

[ionic saffron]

Helllo people I’m in my freshman year and I’m currently on the honors track.

Sophomore is the first year you can pick which AP classes you want to take, which ones should I choose?

I want to be a biology major and I love all science classes.

[full tinsel]

AP Stat

[tough helm]

Which ones can you take? And do you meet the pre-reqs for them

[ionic saffron]

Let me find the sheet with all of them.

[errant yoke]

take ap chem ap bio anatomy honors if it’s offered and i would say ap calc or ap stats

don’t rush it all though you’ve got plenty of time to change your mind

i don’t wanna do what i did 3 years ago at all

[tough helm]

For someone who wants to pursue being a pilot, is it important for them to take physics C. I'm planning for my friend and I feel like physics 1 and 2 is fine for him, otherwise it would put him in pressure

[full tinsel]

Yeah but

They shouls take

AP Stat

[tough helm]

Yeah ik

Anyways another quesstion 💀

If I wanna get into ivy league, is it worth taking Art 2-4

Or should I take something else

Art 3 and 4 are AP btw

[violet dagger]

Take classes u want 2 take

[full tinsel]

Take courses pertaining to ur major

[violet dagger]

You’ll do better of u like them

[full tinsel]

Take courses relating to ur career

[tough helm]

ik but I wanna take art too 😭

I wanna be a software dev but...

[full tinsel]

Then take it

I wanna be an astrophysicist

[tough helm]

Would it be a better decision to take other courses in math

Or science

[full tinsel]

But I also am planning on taking AP Spanish Lang

[violet dagger]

Art bc u like it

[tough helm]

Ap spanish for me starts on spanish 5

[tough helm]

sure

Do ivy leagues care about art AP classes tho

[violet dagger]

yes

[tough helm]

kk

[pure sapphire]

Just take classes you enjoy

Focus on ecs

[tough helm]

Also I just realized my school offers spanish 6 with no pre-req. Should I replace spanish 4 honors with spanish 6 GT

I don't want to take more than 4 years of language so I'm not gonna take spanish 5 AP

spanish 4 is a pre-req for that

[violet dagger]

Again do what u want

[tough helm]

I mean now I don't really know whats better ;-;

spanish 4 honors or spanish 6 GT

something about spanish 6 with no pre-req is just off....

I want the better option

But don't know which one

[autumn willow]

Help I was going to major in aerospace but now I’m having second thoughts

[worthy flare]

#careers

[swift sundial]

does droping out of class affect in anyway?

[tough helm]

These are the dual enrollment classes offered at my high school, any suggestions on what I should take for a chance to get into an elite college? (I wanna major computer science)

[violet dagger]

Just pick what u want to take

[tough helm]

Thats really not helping 😐

[violet dagger]

U don’t know what u want to take?

[tough helm]

If I could I would take all of them

[violet dagger]

Then idk

[tough helm]

Which ones give more benefit for college applications

[lavish kite]

I think if it’s not related to ur major u should be fine.

[lavish kite]

Oh ok thank you!!

[lavish kite]

Ahh got it thank you!!

Also I heard of this program called igetc. How does it impact your college app?

[pearl mesa]

The ones you want to take

[cinder gorge]

is ap lit , ap calc ab , ap physics 1 and ap comp sci a manageable to self study for my first year of ap classes?

[swift sundial]

I want to major in cs and I want dropout ap gov

[glad plume]

does anyone know how important/useful the cambridge ICE award is?

cause i don't know whether to take it or not

[wraith rover]

take it or not? if it’s an award there’s no reason not to take it even if it doesn’t make a big impact

[cinder gorge]

could smone help me wiht this?

[lavish kite]

Oh I mean ap gov isn’t related to cs in any way. But I’m not a college counselor and I don’t want to give you the wrong advice. So id say just talk to ur counselor cuz they speak to colleges and all. They have a pretty good idea of what colleges are looking for.

[shut rivet]

Are you self studying all of them ? Why?

[cinder gorge]

cuz my school doesnt offer aps

[shut rivet]

Ah i see

[cinder gorge]

but i have like 2 years

im taking these course next year

this year is just for prerequisites

[shut rivet]

So you can take these classes next year

Just take them next year

And focus on your extracurricular

[cinder gorge]

extracurricular in pretty bad shape

[shut rivet]

So you should focus on extracurriculars and you can keep building them up next two years

[cinder gorge]

its art and sports (its badminton and i barely get a chance to play it because of the scarcity of coaches and courts here)

[shut rivet]

Are there any other clubs in your school

That you’re interested in

[cinder gorge]

no club system in my school

im not american

[shut rivet]

oh

sorry idk how other schools work

can u start a club ?

[cinder gorge]

yeah it ok

[cinder gorge]

no but if i pitch tht idea maybe...??

[shut rivet]

ok that’s a good idea

[cinder gorge]

but like everybody in our class has no personality at all

no hobbies except for sports and things

[shut rivet]

well if you can start a club and become successful it would make a big impact on your school

That’s good for college apps

You could also start a passion project

[cinder gorge]

but like we only have 1 period for club activity if we are assuming and even that is like PT , who wants to miss PT

[cinder gorge]

whats that?

||should we move this to #extracurriculars ||

[shut rivet]

Sure

[cursive saffron]

AP Seminar/Research takers: do you recommend taking both for the sole purpose of learning skills/knowledge? Why/why not?
Also, pros/cons of class?

[lusty fable]

Hey, what APs should aspiring business majors take starting junior year?

[jovial pike]

I want to go to University of Waterloo, for computer science. What do I need to do?

[pearl mesa]

Well if you’re gonna take AP seminar, you should take AP research too. They go together. Tho I couldn’t tell you about the actual classes themselves

[naive kestrel]

I got my sophomore schedule planned out now!! give me advice!!!

Adv. Geometry taken over summer virtually
HPE II taken in the fall virtually

Adv. English 10
Adv. Algebra II
Adv. Chemistry
AP World History
AP Computer Science A
Spanish III
Cyber Systems Tech (Through school's IT Program)

[strange sigil]

Sbdy cooked here

[gloomy lotus]

looks like a great schedule! (:. If you're going into stem (or CS), these is an even better one as well

[strange sigil]

I don't know, but I'm a soph who's taking Adv Eng 10 and AP Psych, so maybe it will go well for you?

Just b careful with the APs

[naive kestrel]

im planning on self-studying AP World History beforehand

[strange sigil]

Tho yours aren't bad unless you're doing daily Guided Readings

[naive kestrel]

as well as maybe AP computer science A if they have that on Khan Academy

[strange sigil]

That's really good, it's what I did for AP PSYCH so I don't have to understand learn a lot during the sch yr

[gloomy lotus]

They don't have csa, but csp is offered on it

[strange sigil]

Yeah, just abt any early exposure will help for an AP class

[naive kestrel]

and who knows, maybe I could take that exam too for an extra credit!

we'll see where i end up through KA by the end of the year

[strange sigil]

Yeah, that will make it worth the time

KA?

[naive kestrel]

khan academy

!!

currently self studing ancient world history, biology I, and Algebra I through there since my teachers kinda suck ass this year..

[strange sigil]

Oh, yeah

[strange sigil]

🤣 but seriously Khan Academy did help me reinforce and expound in what I was learning in class, I got 108 in Adv Bio freshman year

[naive kestrel]

REAL

terrible teachers wont hold me back fr

[swift sundial]

Thats fine but does it affect my college app ?

[errant stratus]

should I do, if possible, a psychology type class, animal type class and a computer type class all in 1 year when i become a senior in high school? or just the animal and psychology type class as i've already taken 2 different computer classes?

[wary hound]

If I got recommended for AP chem and AP bio for sophomore year should I take both of those classes in the same year?

[errant stratus]

as in is a psychology class and animal type class good as my dream careers is animal caretaking, counseling, software developer/computer science?

[wary hound]

Is the AP capstone diploma worth it in comparison to other AP classes

[full tinsel]

Nah it's bit of a scam

[cursive saffron]

What do you do in Capstone, exactly, anyway? Do you actually use anything you learned?

[tepid sun]

Should I take AP Sem 10th grade? My school progression would be Honors English 1 - AP Sem - AP Lang - AP Lit

[wraith rover]

Depends on your school and also on your science background, but its definitely possible.
I would strongly encourage you to take at least one of these your sophomore year, and whichever one you don't take (if you dont take both sophomore), you can just do it junior year.

There might be some complications due to double lab days so just make sure the rest of your schedule is set before accomadating for this.

[oblique sleet]

does anybody know what major you have to study if you want to be in cybersecurity or data analyst?

[pearl mesa]

I’d think a degree in cybersecurity lol

Probably also computer science

Both would work

I’m not too sure about data analyst though

You could definitely look this up

[oblique sleet]

the problem is

not a lot of school have cybersecurity majors

I cant afford to move out so I can only go to the nearest schools

none of them have cybersecurity

and I really do not like coding

I can code but I dont want to make it my whole life

[cinder gorge]

Well then you could maybe do a degree in computer science for your bachelors and then do a masters on cyber security?

[oblique sleet]

I honestly dont really like the stress CS brings

[cinder gorge]

Are you 100% sure there are no cyber security courses in the colleges near you?

[pearl mesa]

There are probably cyber security courses, but not a major

[cinder gorge]

It's usually a major in the masters level I think

[pearl mesa]

That’s probably true, but they’re talking about undergrad

[cinder gorge]

Right right

[oblique sleet]

yes

[cinder gorge]

If you are so keen on cyber security then maybe you should look at courses outside your area?

[oblique sleet]

usually those schools are like 4 hours

[cinder gorge]

Why aren't you considering those schools?

[oblique sleet]

Because unless the school is like one of the top schools, I can’t afford to move there because my parents aren’t helping me with anything

You know how expensive the intuition can be

And the rent and stuff

[woeful tinsel]

should i pick psychology or business studies for atar?

[cinder gorge]

Have you tried looking at scholarships?

[cinder gorge]

What's atar?

[terse star]

As far as I know, majority of the really expensive schools are private schools. Maybe try going to a school within your state because the fees for going out of state to a different school increase

[errant stratus]

Should I see if my high school has a animal type class and a psychology type class and then do em for my senior year?

(My dream careers are counselor or animal care taker or software dev which I’ve already taken one computer science class during sophomore year and now I’m taking cybersecurity in my junior year)

[terse star]

If you are interested in taking like a science type class in college I would say go for it.

[errant stratus]

Ok

[proven zodiac]

i am going to highschool next year

[carmine lily]

throughout your entire high school career, if you get all a’s but one b, would your uw gpa be a 4.0?

[violet dagger]

No

But close to 4.0

Maybe 3.95

[carmine lily]

im taking an english class where it is literally impossible to get an a, if i purposefully fail the class i can drop down and move to the on level class

but then my schedule might change

and the grades carey over

[drifting hearth]

For data analyst you can do a major in statistics and it should workout

Later on you can do a master's in Cyber security

If you major in cs then both data analyst and cyber security will be open for you

Fyi cs is a lot more than just coding, you can check out some free college level cs courses to get a better idea (ex- Harvard cs50)

I don't have any good schools near me for cs so I am planning to apply for cis, which is a bit less harder and versatile, but it's still going to give me quite some flexibility

[oblique sleet]

While that is true. CS still needs coding, that course is nothing but coding and me personally cant stand the stress and frustration of debugging

[oblique sleet]

Also do I need to minor in sth? Because I feel like cs only isnt enough for data analyst since u need knowledge about stats

[covert cypress]

Dorsnt matter, try doing extra credit classes. Most colleges look at your weighted gpa

Best free cs courses for beginners in code?

(i know languages only)

[drifting hearth]

For entry level data analyst cs is enough but later on in the career it would be highly recommended to have a masters in stats or some other relevant math degree.

[oblique sleet]

So im just trying to pick the most broad

Then I’ll just minor CS

[pure sapphire]

What are good jobs to have in high school if you wanna be a premed

Is there anything fun

[potent cosmos]

No

Jobs are not fun

You will wish you never even thought of it

But then u see the pay check then enter a endless cycle of "I love it" "I hate it"

[pure sapphire]

Damn that’s tough

[potent cosmos]

It's only fun if u got friends at the job

Like this winter me and a few friends are gonna work at a Santa work shop type of thing

[fast plume]

Ok

I live in Texas

in order to skip a course, you have to take it the year and taken the STAAR test to receive credits

in my case that’s Algebra 1

which i was supposed to take my 8th grade year but i switched schools so it wasn’t possible

so now i’m in 9th grade in a new high school and i’m thinking i could take both Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 at the same time

Would this be wise?

So then by senior year, I’ll be able to take Ap Calculus Bc

[icy hedge]

you would need al 1 first before al 2

its worth a shot if ur a fast learner

but i'd recommend al 1 normal yr

then summer do geo

then al2 then summer precalc

then by the time ur a junior u can do calc

then senior year do stat or skip math if u prefer

[fast plume]

My school doesn’t offer summer classes

So my best shot is taking two classes my 10th grade year

[icy hedge]

do they accept summer classes from outside?

[fast plume]

HIGHLY DOUBT IT

They hate other schools

they hate anything that’s not them

[icy hedge]

oh well in that case i would try that

but al 1 and al 2 might be a lot

esp w content

u might want to take al 1 and geo together if thats an option then take al 2 with precalc next yr if thats an option

then calc senior yr

[fast plume]

nah i already know mostly everything in both subjects

not trying to have a big ego or anything

i just have a big nerd if a cousin🫣

[fast plume]

i’ll ask to see if that’s possible!

ty ty bru

[brazen ferry]

Should I take AP statistics if I want to be a surgeon? I asked my sister about it, and she said to take AP Pre-calc.

[tardy ether]

Is 1 Ap for a Freshman Good for a top 20-50 Uni? Or should I try to self study something like APES?

[full tinsel]

Take both

You need Calc

If you haven't taken AP Calc, AP Pre-Calc is a great course to get started with Calc

AP Pre-Calc -> AP Calc AB -> AP Calc BC

[full tinsel]

That's fine

The only AP I took freshmen year was AP US Gov

[wet rune]

I took AP human and it was great

[full tinsel]

Since my school only rlly had AP US Gov and CSP for Freshmen

[wet rune]

I'm taking two this year, last year it was only csp or AP human

[full tinsel]

Taking APUSH and CSP this year

This year I'm just trying to knock out grad requirements

[wet rune]

No don't take ab and Bc, waste of time, take bc and then stats

Apush and seminar for me

[full tinsel]

Depends on ur school

[wet rune]

Nah cuz bc you learn all the same stuff but more

[full tinsel]

At my school that's how AP Calc works

[wet rune]

Not for us

[full tinsel]

Although next year is the first AP Pre-Calc

Hm

[wet rune]

We just started AP pre calc this hear

[full tinsel]

Cool

[wet rune]

But I'm taking it next year hopefully cuz I love me some AP credit

[full tinsel]

Well

[brazen ferry]

Unfortubately, I can't take both.

[wet rune]

Then take bc

Lots more stuff

[full tinsel]

Yeah

BC

If it were up to me

I'd just take BC

But in my county AB has to be a prereq

[wet rune]

It's dumb they make you do ab and bc

That's a waste of time and money

[full tinsel]

BC is just AB but slightly sped up

[pure sapphire]

Yeah it’s sad

My school doesn’t even offer bc

[full tinsel]

Imma take AP Pre-Calc and AP Calc AB next year

[pure sapphire]

So I’ll take it online next year

[full tinsel]

And take AP Calc BC and Stat senior year

[pure sapphire]

Calc ab is so easy 😢

I’m in it rn

Kinda mid

[full tinsel]

Our AP Calc AB and BC teacher is "smart" crazy

I think they're teaching Pre-Calc next year

Also take AP Stat

[pure sapphire]

Ap stats is so free

But everyone should take it

[full tinsel]

I also need to take AP Physics C

Per my major in Astrophysics

But thank god that Calc is a req. And can be taken concurrently with AP Calc AB

(AP Physics 1 is just reccomended)

[pure sapphire]

Bruh I wish my school had physics c

Could you theoretically skip physics 1 and 2 to c

[fast plume]

If i do two math classes this year, algebra 1&2

and 2 next year, geomotry&pre calc

what would i do my junior year?

Oh wait

Ap calc bc

But Senior year?

[cobalt trench]

that is too much math classes to handle

i would suggest you even it out alittle bit

[fast plume]

I like the challenge tho

[cobalt trench]

ok

for senior year you could take ap statistics

[fast plume]

Is it a good Ap?

I’ve heard some stuff abt it

[cobalt trench]

most useful ap class there is

[fast plume]

Oh okay

[cobalt trench]

you learn about probability and how data works

it is in most major of stem

[fast plume]

Oh that’s helpful then

[cobalt trench]

what are you majoring in?

[fast plume]

When I get to college, History, Computer science, Mathematics or Psychology

Idk i’m passionate about all so i can’t really narrow it down yet

i’m still only a freshman

😓

[cobalt trench]

computer science is very good

i major in it

[fast plume]

😝

[keen copper]

no... its not

https://tenor.com/view/this-post-contains-misinformation-pausebeforeyoushare-misinformation-fake-news-lies-gif-22088420

[keen copper]

mans hasnt even taken the classes and is preaching bull about them

[keen copper]

blud's head is def in the stars

[keen copper]

not theoretically, you can, physics C is just 1 but you apply some calculus topics to it

[keen copper]

no you'd do ab junior then bc senior

[pure sapphire]

Why would you do that, algebra II wouldn’t make any sense if you don’t know algebra I

[keen copper]

not exactly, you can rearrange them however but the only two in that list I would say you dont wanna take at the same time are algebra 2 and precal

[keen copper]

^^

[pure sapphire]

Unless you want to major in math it is kinda useless

[keen copper]

my school offers algebra 1, then geometry, algebra 2, and then precal in that order ignoring calc classes and above

[pure sapphire]

Just take algebra i and geometry at the same time so you can take calc or stats

[keen copper]

not really, any engineering course will require calculus

[pure sapphire]

Oh yeah

I forget

[keen copper]

and ironically many medical courses

[pure sapphire]

Yeah

Calc is not that bad

It’s just like

Don’t stress yourself out

[keen copper]

actually if you want a degree in anything in stem, you need calculus :/

[pure sapphire]

Is it usually calc 1 or 2

Cuz different premed paths at different things which is weir

[keen copper]

depends what you wanna do

but most will only require calc 1

a lot of schools are adding physics courses as a requirement too though to medical courses

cos ironically the people who do best on the mcat are engineers, physicists, and computer scientists and not the people who spent all their time memorizing biology for the premed reqs

[pure sapphire]

Yeah most bio major and health science major wait till the last minute to prep for the meat which is kinda dumb

They think their major is more important than meat and ecs

[fast plume]

I already understand both subjects very well, i just need to advance so i can take ap calc and stats

[keen copper]

by the way I never got to correcting this and it's pretty damn important

BC is not AB sped up!! and if you enter the class thinking that you're in for a world of hurt

[fast plume]

oh?

[keen copper]

ftr, if you wanna know, this is coming from someone who took both AB and BC and is now taking calculus 3

through dual enrollment

not some bozo who hasnt even taken precal

[pearl mesa]

BC is AB sped up is a severe understatement imo lmao

We are like, moving at light years through the AB content

[keen copper]

ok lemme explain it like this:

sorry I proceeded to not explain shit

Caluclus AB will reintroduce the idea of limits from precal, and then uses that and basic algebra to introduce the idea of the derivative. Then once you learn everything to do with the derivative which uses concepts from precal, geometry, and algebra 2, you move on to integrals which are the opposite of a derivative and literally called an antiderivative

derivative will very lightly use parts of geometry, precal, and algebra 2

but the integral uses those very heavily

they will teach you things like integrating trig functions, and similar concepts

then calculus BC is builds upon those three concepts

[cobalt trench]

im currenly taking precal rn

and we are doing quadratic formulas??

[keen copper]

in calculus BC you literally learn multiple different ways of integrating, and then sequences and series.

[cobalt trench]

why are we learning math 2 in preacal

[keen copper]

shitty teacher ig, or you're misunderstanding what they're teaching

dm me what they're teaching

[cobalt trench]

currently teaching quadratic formula

discriminant

and identify numbers

[cinder gorge]

will I get overloaded if I take 5 aps in one year?

[cobalt trench]

alittle bit lmao

[pearl mesa]

That’s highly dependent on you and your schedule

[cobalt trench]

depends what it is

[cinder gorge]

alr thx guys

[pearl mesa]

I’d recommend asking ppl at your school who have taken the classes that you are going to take

And you can talk to teachers about hw load

[keen copper]

you start with learning the new integration methods like integration by parts, integration by partial fraction decomposition, etc. and then you apply them to parametics, polars, etc. which is ironically, literally physics C, and then you learn sequences and Series which is literally a whole new thing both completely unrelated to what you learned and closely tied with integrals, and will make you want to leave the class

[keen copper]

if it's all you're doing? no

if you're juggling dual enrollment and extracurriculars, most likely it will be too much

[keen copper]

this is important too

[pearl mesa]

That’s what I mean by schedule

Maybe I should’ve made that more clear tho

[keen copper]

nah its alr

[cinder gorge]

Which AP courses do you recommend to take?

[keen copper]

what year are you?

[cinder gorge]

2028

[west lagoon]

WOAH if ur just starting 8ththis year plzz chill

Dont worry abt all those

Idk how ur school works but u won’t be taking aps until 9-10 usually

[keen copper]

^^

most schools to my knowledge only let you take 1 ap in 9th grade to get you used to the rigor of aps, and depending on how you perform, will then let you decide about aps in 10th-12th

[cinder gorge]

Thank you for the information.

[cinder gorge]

yeah and dont fill up ur schedule with bs AP's

if you do well in a couple of hard AP's

that is way more impactful

[steady sedge]

Will colleges care about the electives i take in high school?

[pearl mesa]

Wdym

Typically electives can go to show what you’re interested in

[narrow valve]

generally you just write abt em on ur essay so

[haughty jungle]

Anyone know if I should take the ap Calc ab and bc exam or just the bc exam

I'm currently taking AB

And planning to take BC next year

Should I take both exams or just wait next year

[full tinsel]

They're pretty much the same in my humble opinion

[haughty jungle]

So?

Take both exams?

[winter walrus]

I would take ap human in ninth and focus on that

don't try to take to many ap in ninth, save that for 10,11, and 12

[dim stump]

i’m on track to finish lin alg, diff eq, and multivariable calc by the start my second semester of senior year. i like math but idk if i can handle all these courses 😭 rn i have a 95 in calc 1 as a sophomore. should i just rest after calc 3 (first semester junior year) or is the added course rigor worth it? i’m planning to major in some type of biological science anyway.

because what i’m really worried about is those classes being detrimental to my UW GPA

[azure tusk]

any upcoming tips for freshmen for classes

[tall glacier]

i wuld recommend ap csp, its a rlly ez ap but very useful in any other course u wanna take

try to take both, if they allow

if not, just self study for one

[worthy flare]

What are your classes?

[gloomy lotus]

take a variety of classes/electives to see what you like. Don't bombard yourself with APs, especially in the first two years. Make sure your schedule is something you know you can do and manage well along with other stuff like your extracurriculars, social life, etc.

If you'd like us to rate your schedule, feel free to put it down here

[azure tusk]

ok i still have time for the summer to choose my high school schedule

[orchid phoenix]

what classes should i be taking in grade 11 and 12. If I want to go to law school.

[gloomy lotus]

You don't go to law school right out of highschool. Therefore, nothing you do in high school matters if you want to be a lawyer.

Law schools mainly look at your undergrad GPA and LSAT score. But if you're interested and want some exposure, most STEM related courses coupled with economics, stats, etc. should help.

[plucky remnant]

Honors English 1
Honors World History 1
Honors Geometry
Mandarin 2
Honors Physics
Business
Study of Visual Arts (a requirement for our school)
Not eligible to take any of the APs available for ninth graders

[light zodiac]

Does anyone know if it's best to streamline your classes to fit a major you want to do? Or is it better to look more well-rounded and take a variety of classes?

[smoky olive]

Take classes that sound interesting to you. It's always nice to look into taking classes earlier before getting into college but if it is a class that not only sounds interesting to you but also fits the major you want to do then go for it!

[light zodiac]

Thanks!

[lavish kite]

How easy is to self study ap stats and get a 5

[pearl mesa]

Not as hard as some other tests

But won't be a walk in the park either

[lavish kite]

alr what could I do to self study?

[pearl mesa]

There's lots of resources online

You should do some research on what self studying entails before just deciding to self study

[languid ruin]

i have some friends who took ap stats by themselves and barely made a 3

[tall orchid]

Hey, I would like to ask, what are programs such as IGCSE, A-Level and IAL about? I genuinely have no idea

I'm currently in Secondary 4 and I don't know if I need to select a course

[nova rose]

I'm in calc bc as a junior and I want to take calc 3 over the summer. Is there anywhere I could take calc 3 over the summer online and have it on my transcript?

[cinder gorge]

I’m looking to go into the computer science / web design field in the future, im currently a freshman in high school which ap classes should I take

[pearl mesa]

AP CSA and AP CSP are great options

[oblique sleet]

Anybody here goes to California polytechnic ponoma?

[unique blaze]

is self studying pre-calc worth it? especially for someone not stem oriented

[hexed night]

for my softmore year I am planning to take ap csp, ap bio, ap human online, us history, spanish 3, honor 10th comp, geometry, essentials to healthcare
are these good courses to take

[pearl mesa]

You’re most likely not going to find someone who does, just ask your question and maybe someone can help out

[bitter hound]

I had a question, my school offers dual enrollment and I’m not sure if I should take it, I know it gives college credits but it’s taken from my community college so I doubt that most colleges would even accept these creds, I’m already taking chem H and APUSH which are college level courses in school so I don’t really see the point in dual enrollment unless it looks better on your transcript (which I don’t know if it does).

Also my grades are generally in the A area so would taking dual enrollment look better on my transcript cuz that’s like the deciding factor

[dim jasper]

I’m currently in 6 AP classes and have the feeling I need to drop one or two for workload. The two classes I’m contemplating are Latin and Biology. Latin would be an easy A but I would fail the exam. Biology is easily my biggest workload but I also don’t have an AP science yet. I want to be a business major in college so I also don’t see a need for either of these classes. Should I drop biology?

[uncut elk]

I'm taking dual enrollment but only because I'm unable to take APs as a sophomore. I'm using it as a way to show I'm capable of taking challenging classes. If your already in a lot of Aps or honors I'd use the hour to do a fun class (band, art, etc)

[uncut elk]

If your convinced you'll fail the Latin exam id probably drop that

[bitter hound]

I’m only doing one but have 4 other honors classes

My counselor didn’t give me the other honor and ap cuz no space

[uncut elk]

What grade?

[bitter hound]

Sophomore

[uncut elk]

Do it if you have no other classes you really want to take

Colleges still like to see it on a transcript despite not taking the credits

[bitter hound]

I have orchestra and dual enrollment is outside of school for me

[bitter hound]

Ok

[uncut elk]

Don't overwork yourself too

[bitter hound]

I think I’ll just stick to school classes and do volunteering ours and summer programs

Hours

[uncut elk]

Sounds good 👍

[bitter hound]

Thanks for the help

[uncut elk]

Np

[sharp valley]

any americans taking/taken rotc? wdyd in it/anything actually learned from the class/is it actually useful/fun

[violet dagger]

only Take it if u wanna take it

[lone lion]

if u take dual enrollment ofc it will

no matter what class ur taking

it gives colleges the impression u took a risk and u can handle courseloads

[solar vault]

Any idea of what dual enrollment classes should I do for my betterment in the future?

next year's math could be one

any others?

Hi, currently a freshman and I was wondering if self-studying AP Human Geography and/or AP Psychology is easy or not

[foggy jolt]

studying ap psych is definitely easy

in my opinion

idk about human geo tho

[tight wedge]

QUESTIONN so in trigonometry honors rn (its required if you want to take pre calc) and im failing with a 63 from my first quiz so i am questioning if i should steer away from the calculus path and maybe instead of taking pre calc and trig this school year and ap calc bc senior year to take ap stats this year and ap csp senior year of that makes sense idk which one is better because on one hand with taking the calculus route ill be smarter and more prepared for the sat and college but on the other hand if i take the alternative route my gpa would boost dramatically and ill be learning things ill use in my daily life

[old kernel]

i have 3 questions. 1 how hard is it to self study a persoanl finance class over the summer. 2 How hard is it to self study ap macro or ap microeconomics. 3 How hard is it to self study ap stats or ap physcology?

[tepid aspen]

Okay, first of all, its your first quiz, don’t worry about it, you’ll have a lot of opportunities to raise your grade up with other tests and quizzes. Honestly, whatever path you want to take is your choice, honestly, Calc doesn’t really help you out with the SAT, for me it made me overthink it more lol. I’ve heard from a lot of people that it’s really useful to take stats for college cause it helps with research based things and collecting data if you’re going that route. But if the grade really matters to you, you can choose the alternative route, but just letting you know, AP stats is notoriously difficult, so I don’t know how you feel about that

[tight wedge]

tysm!

[fringe barn]

I'm at beginning of freshman year right now. Here is what I plan to do sophomore year. Tell me if it's too easy
Ap chem
Ap clac BC
Apush
Honors English 2
Choir
DE physics 1 and 2
PE

[main storm]

How do you take a test if you self study a ap course?

[uncut elk]

It all depends on your time management, study abilities, and what you do for extracurriculars. You're lucky your school offers that much to Sophomores. If it seems to stress you out cut a class and go easier, if you're bored go harder. Don't do everything to "look good for colleges" because it can backfire.

[fringe barn]

Talk to your school

[fringe barn]

Ok

[flat crown]

Looking to go to college what courses should I be taken in grade 11 and 12 or does it not matter

[main storm]

Ok

[uncut elk]

Depends on what college but try to push yourself to take the hardest classes possible or that your comfortable with

[oblique barn]

its pretty easy

does your school offer multivariable

i self tested bc and skipped to multi variable

[oblique barn]

as many AP as possible

all honors (at a minimum)

remember AP tests r free, take them all

[violet dagger]

dude no way thats too easy

but make sure to take classes you WANT to take now's the time to explore

[flat crown]

Do u know how the AP test works for students who do online school?

[violet dagger]

in my school its not D:

[oblique barn]

not sure

[oblique barn]

they cost money

but they r free in terms of being easy

study if u have to

but 5s r usually easy

[slender junco]

umm does anyone know how to get dual enrollment in nyc

im not sure what to do

can u guys explain like how its beneficila?

pls

help

[violet dagger]

it depends if ur skool offers it

[fringe barn]

Yea, but I have to take calc bc

[slender junco]

ohh

[oblique barn]

L

usually even if this stuff is mandated you can skip

[violet dagger]

the good thing abt dual enrollment is that u earn high skool & college credit at the same time

[oblique barn]

email ur math supervisor

a bunch

like a lot

[fringe barn]

Yeah I don't want to annoy them they decide if I get the math scholarship at graduation

And also they don't let you skip any math classes no matter what hence why I have to take pre-calc over summer

[oblique barn]

thats tough

one of my friends took multi-variable freshman year

[oblique barn]

chem is free
BC is super free
Apush is free
English is probably free
Physics 101 and 202 r free

[fringe barn]

English is free from what I've heard from upperclassmen

[oblique barn]

yeah

Dual enrollment is good

it sorta depends on the college though

[fringe barn]

It's a local University

I'm also backing this up with probably being Color Guard Captain, in drama club, in biomedical engineering club, in philosophy Club probably leadership position, and in stem Club if it gets kicked back up

[oblique barn]

club positions dont rlly matter

unless you do smthng

like smthng real

[fringe barn]

It's good to have a few leadership positions from what I've heard

[oblique barn]

like I started a program that teachers CS to inner city kids

[oblique barn]

meh

it depends

where do you want to go to college?

[fringe barn]

Oh I'm also going to be doing community service tutoring for low income math kids

[oblique barn]

[pearl wren]

hello, I live in the US and am taking the IB Diploma Program. My school just took in IB as its new curriculum and is slowly switching from AP to IB. Unfortunately, since it is this new, most of the teachers don't know what they're doing. My school is also only offering 6 classes. Not over 20. I don't get to pick any of my classes and I am stuck with what I am given.

I am forced to take and am taking:
HL Global Politics
HL Theatre ( 💀 )
HL English Language and Literature 1

SL Math AI
SL Spanish AB Intio 1
SL Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS)

I wanna pursue a career in Aviation, and be a pilot one day. Yet I have no knowledge of basic chemistry and barely any physics.

Should I self-teach myself AP/IB Physics and Chemistry? And if so, which curriculum should I follow? AP or IB? I really want to take these classes to just be a solid rounded student as I have never taken a single chemistry course. If I finish my senior year without a small peck of knowledge on chemistry, I don't know if that really will be a good idea.

[fringe barn]

I love you theater

Oh yeah I forgot to mention next year I'll be taking Spanish 2@oblique barn

[oblique barn]

ughh

thats tough man

u have a great application otherwise though

[fringe barn]
