course-selection

[oblique barn]

like always

[full tinsel]

Before I studied

I've been studying throughout the summer

[oblique barn]

even for a baseline thats tough

[full tinsel]

Nah I've got time

[oblique barn]

you have to get atleast a 1540

[oblique barn]

sorta

[full tinsel]

I need to get like a 1400 on the PSAT

Do the conversion to the SAT Score

[oblique barn]

nah

they r the same

psat is just capped

like i did a 1560 psat freshman year

trying for that 1600 on real sat

[full tinsel]

But I've been studying for a while

[acoustic ginkgo]

I got a 1010 gonna take the sat senior year which is in one year

[oblique barn]

its ok man

[pearl wren]

tips on reading?

[oblique barn]

where u tryna go to college

[oblique barn]

read books honestly

like old books

[acoustic ginkgo]

The state college prob

[oblique barn]

u got it locked in

u got this ong

[acoustic ginkgo]

Rutgers

[oblique barn]

I love rutgers

[acoustic ginkgo]

For cs unless I get into an another good cs college

[pearl wren]

What about something that is less time consuming and more efficient than that?

[oblique barn]

well

if u need max performance

read a fucking dictionary

[acoustic ginkgo]

I’ve heard Kahn academy is pretty good, gonna do it for the whole year consistently. Hopefully it pays off

[oblique barn]

like not even joking

read it

[pearl wren]

Isn't that for writing based though? Not for reading?

[oblique barn]

nah

it helps

ong

that and do a fuckton of practice tests

so many

like take it a ton of times

[pearl wren]

is there more of a "syllabus" way? As in like, if I was bad at math in circles, I would target circles and just do em until I understand them

[acoustic ginkgo]

Any good free online resources, like khan academy??

[full tinsel]

Is there a Khan Academy on PSAT?

[pearl wren]

How do you learn from your mistakes and how do you classify your mistakes?

[pearl wren]

do you mean a PSAT on the kHan Academy? If so, yes

[acoustic ginkgo]

Connect ur college board acc and he

[oblique barn]

I will give u the trick

take it'

[acoustic ginkgo]

Ye*

[pearl wren]

yes sir

[oblique barn]

write down everything u got wrong

like all of it

[pearl wren]

like the question types?

[oblique barn]

the questions

find out exactly what u suck at

and then target that

more tests

[pearl wren]

yessir

[oblique barn]

more practice problems

[pearl wren]

do you read any of the SAT books such as Erica Meltzer?

[oblique barn]

I know a kid who did this and got from a 1200 to a 1550

[oblique barn]

nah

they suck

only good for less than 1450

[pearl wren]

so best way is to review your mistakes

[oblique barn]

yes

[pearl wren]

and what about grammar? Isn't that based on more on the rules and concepts of grammar like subject verb agrreement?

[oblique barn]

yeah, i struggled with grammar

personally

i found a dictionary

[full tinsel]

Alr

[oblique barn]

the back had all english grammar rules

i memorized them

[full tinsel]

I'll grind PSAT Khan Academy

[oblique barn]

makes life easier

[full tinsel]

Try to get a 1300-1400

And then strike for the 1500+ next year

[acoustic ginkgo]

That’s what I’m tryna do

1 year to study

1600 soon fr

[full tinsel]

1 month

[acoustic ginkgo]

1010 to 1600

[full tinsel]

To PSAT

[acoustic ginkgo]

October?

[full tinsel]

Yes

[oblique barn]

its possible

just study ur ass off

[latent field]

id work on noredink

work on the topics you don't know

[acoustic ginkgo]

I got that one too but it’s too late to cram study

[acoustic ginkgo]

3-5 hours a week

[oblique barn]

cap

its never too late to cram

[oblique barn]

PER WEEK

you have a year

[acoustic ginkgo]

Taking 4 aps so it’s kinda tough

[full tinsel]

I will say

[acoustic ginkgo]

How much should I do

[oblique barn]

do 20 hours a week

[full tinsel]

My studying has slowed down due to schoolwork and ECs

[pearl wren]

Do you know the SAT Panda writing book?

[oblique barn]

nah

[full tinsel]

But I'm going to pick the pace up

[pearl wren]

noredink? what's that?

[oblique barn]

sorry man

[acoustic ginkgo]

maybe over the summer

[oblique barn]

Study AP's

[acoustic ginkgo]

Free?

[oblique barn]

then SAT

[latent field]

no red ink is about rgammar

it should be

[acoustic ginkgo]

Ye that’s my plan

[latent field]

idk, my school uses it

[pearl wren]

how much is that per day if I get home at around 5

[latent field]

it helps you with grammar and structure of sentences and punctuation

[acoustic ginkgo]

Our school don’t care the average is a 1050 for us

[oblique barn]

i did like 2-3 hours a day

for a couple months

[pearl wren]

yikes, I don't know if I have the time for that. I sleep at 9:30 as well.

[oblique barn]

yeah

probably do an hour a day

[slender junco]

what grade?

[oblique barn]

but like a real productive hour

[oblique barn]

9;30 is bad

go to sleep later

i usually do 2-3

am

[pearl wren]

I can't, I wake up early for school since I bike to school

[latent field]

when does your school start

[pearl wren]

Junior year

[oblique barn]

tough

[latent field]

you can't just force someone to go to bed later, people need their sleep lol and hteyre in high school

[slender junco]

HOW DO U SLEEP AT 9:30

I NEED TO KNOW

[latent field]

it starts earlier

[slender junco]

im freshman im scared

is ur hw load a lot

[oblique barn]

lol what

what time do u go to sleep

[pearl wren]

Starts at 8:30 but I gotta go early in the morning since I live 7 - 8 miles away from the school, and I live near traffic and school zones. Going late means more cars, more parents dropping off their kids, so on.

[oblique barn]

not forcing him

[pearl wren]

Discipline

[oblique barn]

Jesus, thats tough man

[pearl wren]

I try to do what I can.

[oblique barn]

yeah

GL

[pearl wren]

Planning to just get a 1450+ on the SAT, so I can temporarily forget about it and focus much more on my school work like Math and such

[oblique barn]

9:30 is early AF

[oblique barn]

yeah

thats fine

[slender junco]

do u get a lot of hw?

i get home at like 3:30

i dont stuart anything till 4:30

[pearl wren]

I do.

[slender junco]

so how do u manage it?

what do u do

[oblique barn]

what time do u sleep

[pearl wren]

Manage my school work or my sleep?

[slender junco]

both

[violet dagger]

mine is but my skool is supposed to b rigorous

[slender junco]

well school just started so rn i sleep at 10

[violet dagger]

yeah im a freshman & i sleep at 9:30

idc bout getting some B's but i need my sleep

[oblique barn]

nah

yall sleep too much

3-4 hours is fine

[pearl wren]

Sleep: think of the strictest person you know, and they will give you consequences whether is good or bad if you sleep at the exact time you need

School: 80/20 rule, hyper focus/state of flow for 45 mins. Better to study for 45 mins focused than to study for 4 hours unfocused.

[slender junco]

OHHH

do u get everything done in 45 mins?

[pearl wren]

No no that was just an example 💀

[oblique barn]

like ong

u can do all studying in an hour

I'm taking 5 APs and it never takes long

just grind

[slender junco]

ohh

[slender junco]

hmm ok

[pearl wren]

research about the state of flow

[azure tusk]

Should you test out of different subjexts

[vocal aurora]

Hey guys I was wondering whether it would be a better idea to self study for the ap calculus ab or ap calculus bc exam. (Just some background information is I havent taken any ap exams yet since my school doesnt offer any besides ap physics 1 which I am taking this year. I also am taking a college precalc class this semester and calculus class next semester so I dont know how much those coincide in terms of like curriculum. And in terms of extracurriculars they arent in the best place rn so I do want to put alot of attention into that this year by making some coding projects.) Any advice or help is appreciated. Oh and Im currently a junior

[oblique barn]

yes

[oblique barn]

bc

[azure tusk]

why

[oblique barn]

u do better subjects

[vocal aurora]

Just wondering like how much harders is calc bc than ab

[azure tusk]

ok

[oblique barn]

not much

[vocal aurora]

Ok thank you for the advice I appreciate it

[lone lion]

@vocal aurora much harder

basically bc is ab and bc combined

faster pace

[vocal aurora]

Ok I’m probably gonna research a lot more tn about the differences myself see what I’m comfortable with

Thank you for the advice

[violet dagger]

dude i literally cant function properly w/o 8h

i've tested this on myself and im most productive w/that

ur just lucky

[grim gyro]

You

[full tinsel]

Ayr aye

[timid nest]

Which is easy apush vs apwh

[oblique barn]

apush is free

[errant stratus]

Is psychology and animal science hard classes?

[timid nest]

Free what

[oblique barn]

easy

[wraith rover]

difficulty = apush>apwh (in general)

difficulty of the course is more dependent on your teacher and school than the actual material tbh

[oblique barn]

very real

[rugged rampart]

facts

[lone lion]

no 💀

to u maybe

[oblique barn]

trust

just take overview notes

[lone lion]

literally in it

LMAOO

its really teacher dependent also

maybe u have a good teacher

[oblique barn]

yeah

[gloomy topaz]

Should I take AP calc BC Sophomore year?

I’m in Algebra 2 rn, I wanna take precalc over the summer

[pearl mesa]

@oblique barn i meant this channel 😭

Maybe you can give a good answer

[oblique barn]

yeah

[oblique barn]

sure'

i took bc freshman year, it wasn't too bad

[pure sapphire]

Damn are you fr

Was the exam bad

[gloomy topaz]

Then what did you do for the rest of your high school

[oblique barn]

nah

i got a 5

[normal ember]

It's very doable to do precalc over the summer and take BC sophomore year

I tried doing that but my school put me in AB because BC would've ruined the rest of my schedule

Precalc in 6 weeks was a lot but as long as you put your mind to it

Then you can do it

[gloomy topaz]

I would only get 3 years of Math though: Algebra 2, Calc BC and Multivariable Calc. Is that enough to get into a good college?

[lone lion]

bro these ppl crazy smart

wtf

😭

[pearl mesa]

You can take smth like stats. Your 4th year, or take another class thru a nearby college

[lone lion]

BRO UR TAKING MULTIVARIABLE

wym good enough

💀

literally the highest math level

[gloomy topaz]

Doesn’t Stats count as a business class?

[lone lion]

stats is not a business class-

[pearl mesa]

Uhhhh

99% sure, no

[lone lion]

its applicable to business

[oblique barn]

yeah

or u can do stats in addition

like i did stat freshman

[cinder gorge]

Hey. I just wanted to ask if anyone is from the University of Texas, Austin.

[pearl mesa]

Just ask your question, you’re more likely to get help

[cinder gorge]

OK. I wanted to ask the chances of recieving admission I'm UT Austin as a backup school.

[pearl mesa]

We can’t tell you

Nobody in the world can tell you

[cinder gorge]

Haha OK. Thanks anyways

[pearl mesa]

The acceptance rate is the best thing you’ve got

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[pearl mesa]

Also

Make sure your sat/act and gpa are within the 25th percentile

You can find that on their common data set

[oblique barn]

isnt it usually 75th?

[pearl mesa]

No 25th is usually considered minimum

But, you don’t need to be 25th either

You could be in the 1st percentile and still get in

[normal ember]

Precalc online should count for a credit

So that would be 4 math credits

But if all your school has is those then there's no need to take precalc online over the summer unless you think your school will get another math class by the time you're done with those, or if you just don't wanna take math senior year

[normal ember]

And plus, if you took algebra 1 and geometry in middle school then that should still go on your transcript

[glad vapor]

So I'm in my junior year of highschool and I wanna start thinking about next year
I'm currently taking AP calculus ab, AP environmental, APUSH,a video class,English,Spanish 2X and in choir
Should I take Spanish AP next year
And second question
Is it better for me to take econ/government in the summer or during the school year cause I also really need to join a program called upward bound

[vivid current]

it depends on how you think youll do in ap spanish lo

if ur gonna get a 3 and c prolly not

but if ur confident do it

and it also depends on ur goal ig

@glad vapor

[glad vapor]

I don't really think I'll do good

I know Spanish but like at writing it

It's like

Ewwww

So yeah

[vivid current]

in order to practice speaking just go to twitter lol

i got fluent by talking soccer on spanish twitter

[glad vapor]

Dang

Thanks g

[remote bane]

i took 3 years of spanish and with other additional classes im fluent in it

im also fluent in two other languages

[glad vapor]

But in your personal opinion

Was it worth it
And by that I mean I mean was it good for your college resume

[feral lava]

Is this a good sophmore schedule?

AP Precalculus
AP Seminar
Biology 1
AP USH
AP Physics 1
AP Stats
Adv. Spanish 3
AP Chemistry
Symphony Orchestra

[mild narwhal]

anyone here taken ap french?

[glad vapor]

Sophomore of junior schedule

Cause like if your taking APUSH as a sophomore

You just be pretty advanced

Also 9 classes mate

Are you in high school or college

[lone lion]

bro

💀

wtf is this crazy ahh schedule

ru tryna commit suicide

[feral lava]

A day B day schedule

[feral lava]

Its what most of my classmates chose, and I can switch out of a few aps if its to hard (ap physics, stats, and precalc are required)

[glad vapor]

That's what I'm thinking bro
If bro think he can live this he dead

[lone lion]

doesnt matter if ur classmates chose it

[glad vapor]

Rule number one
Never go with
It's what my classmates chose

[lone lion]

nah fr

cause everyone is on their own path

[glad vapor]

Fr

You gotta decide what you wanna do already

[lone lion]

if u have easier classes and they laugh at u or shame u L friends ngl

[glad vapor]

Real

[lone lion]

but if u can handle it then sure

[feral lava]

I think its going good so far, but Ill prob switch out of apush for adv

[lone lion]

ah

[glad vapor]

But 9 classes as a sophomore man?

It is only the first few weeks

Are you sure you can handle the next

[feral lava]

Idk bro, I might switch out of a few based on the next few days

[feral lava]

4 aday-bday classes (1.5hr each)+0hr

[glad vapor]

Yall enter a 7 right

It would make sense if y'all enter at 7

[feral lava]

Yes

School starts at 730

[glad vapor]

Ah makes sense

My school starts at 8:30 and ends at 3:30

So we have 3 classes for A and B days

Along with a 7th

[remote bane]

me?

were u asking me

[glad vapor]

Yes sir

I was asking you

Do you think it is worth it for the college resume

[remote bane]

Yes it was good for college apps

it was kind of like bonus points tho

[glad vapor]

Like ooh that's nice

Ok

[remote bane]

yea i got into UCLA so... 😏

[glad vapor]

Goated bro

I'll try and pass Spanish 2X with a B+ or A

And do ao

Ap

I'll follow your lead bro

[remote bane]

ye

[signal merlin]

should i do dual credit or ap

[solar vault]

do both

[cursive saffron]

Is taking Multivariable Calc + Diff EQ (1 class)/Linear Algebra (separate class) in the same year a bad idea? Would be junior yr, would also be taking AP E/M/Lang/APUSH same yr w/ foreign language (3rd yr).

[timid nest]

I struggle in ap gov and you are saying apush is easy 🙄

[timid nest]

I took ap gov this year what should i take next year

[wraith rover]

apush

[timid nest]

Is it like required? Can i take civics instead of apush?

[wraith rover]

depends on ur school but it’s def not required

[timid nest]

Oh then i will take civics its easy and less work load for me i dont even like social studies tbh but my friend recommended thats why i took it

[random garnet]

How many AP classes do you need for your college application?

[rough patio]

There’s no set amount. Aim for 8. 5 of the 8 should be serious “hard” AP’s ex. Apush, Lang, Bio. The other three should be easier elective AP’s that u have an interest in Ex. Ap Psychology, AP Comp Sci Principles, AP Human Geo

[pearl mesa]

You don’t need to aim for 8

Just take as many as you can handle

Also depends what your school offers

8 is not the magic number

Typically you want to be taking the same or more as your classmates

As you’ll be judged first and foremost in the context of your school and local area

[signal merlin]

ok ty

[random garnet]

Got it.

[violet dagger]

do whatever you want don't burn urself out

[azure tusk]

what classes should i take for ninth grade and what should i be doing in the summer of eight grade.

[violet dagger]

choose what classess you find interesting bc now's the time to explore

[azure tusk]

k

[violet dagger]

also maybe look at this: https://discord.com/channels/876189935382704210/1009980743147081799

and make a 4 year plan on ur classess so u can see how many credits you'll end up with

[azure tusk]

k

becuase i already take spaish 2

[azure tusk]

yes i got an idea

[cursive saffron]

Is taking Multivariable Calc + Diff EQ (1 class)/Linear Algebra (separate class) in the same year a bad idea? Would be junior yr, would also be taking AP E/M/Lang/APUSH same yr w/ foreign language (3rd yr).

[steep panther]

Ap seminar review?

[digital slate]

I took it freshman year and it wasn’t too difficult (though the ap test sucked)

Basically just worked on making better presentations and making essays using evidence from different sources

[wide plover]

Hi, I need to do my uni applications and deadline is tomorrow, any suggestions for a good course to do with reasoning for the subjects maths, physics and chemistry?

[nimble trail]

My school just realeased all the information related to aps. As a freshman, should I self study any of them and if so which one

[feral lava]

What subjects are you good at that your school offers a ap course for

[half schooner]

is economics gcse good?

[digital slate]

Is physics hard?

I’m planning to take normal physics cause I heard it’s really difficult and I don’t think I’d be able to keep up with the higher up physics classes, but I’m also curious about AP physics 1 and AP physics 1 & 2. Would I be better off taking regular physics or AP physics?

[uncut elk]

Physics is a major hit or miss for people. I don't have AP physics offered at my school but still, a lot of normally smart people struggle with regular physics. It depends on how good you've been at understanding physics so far. AP physics classes are pretty difficult compared to some APs though.

[digital slate]

👍

[worthy flare]

Depends how motivated you are. It is one of the harder AP classes but it’s still possible to pass

[candid gate]

Whats the hardest GCSE science? (UK)

[violet dagger]

Study what you find interesting

Don’t get burnt out

[hearty thistle]

Probably biology personally

I just did my GCSEs and I think biology was the hardest because of the sheer amount of content

It has the most to memorise out of any of the subjects and there just way more content

[candid gate]

People been saying biology and chemistry and i agree on those rn

I just started gcse triple science cuz its mandatory where i go

im just thinking what to be prepared for

[nimble trail]

Should I take one or two

[violet dagger]

As much as u can handle

[nimble trail]

I’m taking all the highest level classes possible: algebra 2-honors, English 1 honors, us history honors( teacher said we learning the ap version), biology honors, French 2-honors

Wait I might take ap us history

And ap bio?

Cuz it’ll be similar to honors version

[viscid willow]

I’m currently taking it

Concepts r easy to understand but it goes at an extremely fast pace

So expect hw and a lot of self studying

[digital slate]

Gotcha

Thank you!

Do you have a book you use to study?

Or do you just look at online videos/notes given to you?

[viscid willow]

Nah but my teacher provides us with lots of worksheets and review

[viscid willow]

College board videos help a lot to understand the topics

[digital slate]

[digital slate]

I doubt you’d be able to take ap bio, though you might be able to ask about it?

At my school you could only take regular bio or honors bio freshman year

[strange sigil]

Me too, took Honors Bio and it was rly gd

[digital slate]

I wasn’t able to take honors bio but reg bio was still neat

Loved my biology teacher

[strange sigil]

Makes me convinced that most bio teachers are generally gd coz mine was rly gd as well

[nimble trail]

I dont knnow what to think of my teacher

first 3/4 days she loved me but then on the 4th day before the weekend she got hella pressed cuz i was talking about math to my friend

and she said she gave a 7 as a markinng period grade to someone last year and im kinda scared

[fathom wind]

Is AP bio alot harder than honors bio?

[strange sigil]

Yeah

@fathom wind

[fathom wind]

Dang

What year do ppl normally take it

[strange sigil]

Junior

[fathom wind]

Would they take bio freshman AND ap bio junior or would they do something else freshman year

[strange sigil]

I think it's good to take regular bio first

Like AP Bio won't necessarily be an intro to Bio, so you may need some background

[fathom wind]

Ah ok

Ty

[strange sigil]

Taking Chem before is also rly helpful

[fathom wind]

So like sophomore year

[strange sigil]

Yeah

[fathom wind]

Alr cool

I might go for it idk

[strange sigil]

Do it, I'm also going for that too

[chrome shoal]

schools typically require honors bio before AP Bio

and honors chem before AP Chem

so make sure you take those first

[strange sigil]

Exactly, but mine says you can surpass the Honors Chem if you take Regular chem + Honors Alg 2

[fiery hatch]

not mine

just bio

is needed for me

[fathom wind]

If u don't mind What state r u in @strange sigil

I understand if u don't wanna say

[chrome shoal]

you can but its highly recommended you take honors bio/chem lol

because ap bio and chem are very rigorous courses

if you dont have previous knowledge, you will struggle

[strange sigil]

it's the one ppl think of when you mention "keep it in the family" 👀

[fathom wind]

Lmao

[strange sigil]

@fathom wind

[fathom wind]

Alr

[strange sigil]

Exactly 💯

I took Honors Bio freshman yr

[fathom wind]

Yeah I'm taking honor bio rn

[strange sigil]

Cool

How's it going

[fathom wind]

Pretty good

I've got a 96

But quite a bit the stuff has been participation

[strange sigil]

I got a 95 first semester so that's pretty good

[strange sigil]

Yeah, like asking questions and being proactive in labs

And don't forget THE EXTRA CREDIT

[fathom wind]

Yeah

She hasn't given any yet

But my aphg teacher gave like 40 points of it and I think it saved my grade

[strange sigil]

My AP Psych teacher gives us +25 to 30 pts for doing handwritten flashcards so I'm trying to do that RN since I have an 81 avg LOL

[fathom wind]

Dangg

Yeah I abused extra credit so hard in geometry

I have a 156 in there

[strange sigil]

It's mostly because of the daily reading quizzes, otherwise I'm getting A's in the chapter tests

[strange sigil]

No WAYYY

The highest avg I got was a 108 and that was Honors Bio last yr

[fathom wind]

Nice

Is there like a certain chapter/unit in bio that u had to really study for like more than the others

[strange sigil]

Ohh, yes, Genetics. Like everything abt DNA, RNA, and transcription/translation

Tho that's second semester

[fathom wind]

Ok cool

[low pagoda]

can someone explain to me what is the study of philosphy at early stage?

[cinder gorge]

BEST TEXAS COLLEGES for COMP SCI?

I’m only a sophomore in hs but I’m going to guess I’ll end up with around a 3.7 1300 SAT 28 ACT with 100 community service hours (Y.E.S) with not much ECs besides Varsity soccer and Excel club

[outer folio]

Ok so my highschool does a major thing where you take classes for it in your junior and senior year. I want to apply for the aerospace engineering major because that's what I'm interested in but it's mainly pltw classes

And if I get in I might not be able to take AP calc junior year

If I get into the math major I can take AP calc junior year but I'm not rly interested in math

But I want to have enough rigorous courses

I will be able to take multivariable senior year if I choose math major too

[obtuse quarry]

is anyone here doing the ib diploma

and tell me some tips for it

[noble vector]

ut austin a&m utd

[fathom wind]

What is that and how do you get it

[nimble trail]

bro wtf your gpa must be enjoying that

[fathom wind]

Fr bruh

[nimble trail]

my school doesnt have extra credit even allowed

[fathom wind]

It's dropped a little but it's still crazy

[fathom wind]

Oof

[nimble trail]

what is it

and i took geom in 8th so how are u rn

[nimble trail]

what is it

[fathom wind]

Like 140

[nimble trail]

is that even allowed for colledges

[fathom wind]

Idk

[nimble trail]

cuz they reccheckk your gpa i think

but if it is your luucky asf

[fathom wind]

Over 100 doesn't matter for gpa from what I know but it's gonna helpvfs

Fa*

[dusty phoenix]

So im taking ap chem for college credit, since its dual enrollment i dont need to take the ap exam. I wanted to know if i should be taking it, what college majors would the credit count for

[grim dove]

Is AP Gov. easy?

[lone lion]

alots of studying

what ive heard

[wise crow]

should i take csp if i plan on going for a cs major w/no background or should i j take ap csa?

[safe obsidian]

it is if you took APUSH in the past

[lapis sundial]

Anyone know is sports med is hard

It's a pathway but it's fine

[violet dagger]

If u actually know nothing take CSP ig

[wise crow]

idk ppl say its useless

& some took csa w/o csp w/no knowledge

[violet dagger]

Idk I’m taking it rn & do far it’s kinda hard for me

Bc ik barely anything bout computers & stuff

Ig depends on skool

And teacher’s strictness

[wise crow]

oh

ic

[wise crow]

is ur school difficult

[violet dagger]

Yes it’s supposed to be rigorous

[dim stump]

should i take the AP calc BC exam at the end of this school year? i will already have the creds for calc 1 + 2 bc dual enrollment but i was wondering if taking the AP test would do anything significant

[wise crow]

oh ic

[dim stump]

shit i forgot to change my user

[violet dagger]

Idk maybe more college credit if that’s possible?

[dim stump]

i mean my creds are guaranteed transfer to all florida schools. but i was wondering if also OOS would accept the BC credit

[obtuse quarry]

its like a program that kind of helps you get ready for university

is jsut super hard

its a inernational program

like theres ckids form evreyonwhere

at my school

tryna od it

[pseudo jay]

Hey guys
I am looking for a double majors in computer science and economics will it be very difficult to do a double major

[cinder gorge]

Hii
I'm starting university soon and it's been really hard for me to pick a major....I've shortlisted some degrees I'm interested in and which have good future prospects but I still don't know which one to choose. I'm also a bit confused between computer science and computer engineering. Although I know the difference but I can't decide which is better.
I'll be really grateful if anyone doing the same major(computer science/engineering) could help me a bit.

[languid ruin]

double majors would be a little easier if it goes along with both majors like what im doing with political science and social policy analysis. econ and comp sci are both different fields of studies but if you can pull it off, that'll be good

[languid ruin]

if you like hands on and building components like lego pieces, computer engineering is a great way if you enjoy playing with hardware. it could be hardwork but well worth the amount of money that you get
if you like the technical and creating puzzles mathematically, comp sci is better if you enjoy the software. it is a popular major and often stereotyped to death, but companies will pay big bucks for you if you contribute something new to a software

[cinder gorge]

What kind of jobs can I get as a computer engineer? Hardware building and stuff?

[languid ruin]

data analyst/engineer/scientist, software dev like full stack, cyber security stuff, machine learning

[full tinsel]

#careers to learn more

[empty hemlock]

after taking precalc in junior year, is it worth it to take calc AB or calc BC to get into computer science majors

[feral lava]

Take BC

You can take AB but BC will look better for colleges and prepare you mathematically in the long run for calc

And if you get a 5 on BC, some colleges will let you skip a math class

[empty hemlock]

Does taking Algebra II in sophomore year look bad to top colleges

[feral lava]

No

Well it prob could based off the colleges you want to go to

Whats your dream school

[empty hemlock]

Uc Berkeley

I'm not a Cali resident

[feral lava]

Ok one sec

Look up the common data set and find how much course rigor matters

[empty hemlock]

Ok

[feral lava]

Its listed as very important but I think you should be fine if you got good grades on all your math classes and take calc BC

And it will be balanced out of you have a big gpa and good essay

[empty hemlock]

Ok thank you

[feral lava]

Np

[empty hemlock]

Should I take physics 1 or 2 for my junior year

[feral lava]

You should start with physics 1

DOes your school have physics c

[empty hemlock]

Yes

[feral lava]

Hmm

Then take physics 2 and if its too hard for you then change it to 1

[empty hemlock]

Ok

[feral lava]

Or you can take physics 1 and do c next year

[empty hemlock]

Which is better tho

[feral lava]

C would be nice

But its useless if its too hard and you get bad grades and a low exam score

So you should start off with 1 or 2 in junoir year and chose between those two based off your knowledge

[empty hemlock]

Ok thanks that's all

[feral lava]

Np

[deft maple]

Which is better AP Lang or English 101/102?

[strange sigil]

Depends rly. At my school, a college course earns you 0.5 less than an AP class, and you may find an introductory college class to be no more than a high school Honors class (I said MAY) an AP class, in my opinion, is sorta better

I'm planning to take AP Lang (over Eng 102) nxt yr, so I've rly weighed the options and asked several teachers and juniors

[nimble trail]

is ap psych ez cuz i might take it this year(9th)

[trim nymph]

its pretty easy yeah

theres a lot of vocabulary

[nimble trail]

So what do you believe is the easiest

[strange sigil]

Hehheh, I lowkey have an 81% RN , but don't worry, it's coz I'm not getting everything in the daily rading quizzes

[slate garden]

I took it freshman year and easiest AP I’ve taken so far

Highly recommend free 5 if you know what you’re doing

[hushed plaza]

hey im a student from india looking for a college abroad and i want to do smt with literature

can anyone suggest some courses?

[cinder gorge]

History (I like) or Geography(don’t like but kinda good at)
Politics or economics(I don’t know which)

What should I choose

[deft maple]

My school weighs dual credit the same as AP, so is there really no difference?

[bitter plover]

how much hw do u get per day in ap phys 1?

[full tinsel]

Depends on ur teacher

[strange sigil]

Wow

[deft maple]

I believe it’s not just my school, it’s the whole state of South Carolina

[strange sigil]

Oh, do you find it better

[inner bridge]

Generally yes

At least college algebra I believe

It also depends on your major and what general education it requires

[dim stump]

does calc 1 + 2 cover the same amount of material as AP calc BC

by calc 1 + 2 i mean like dual enrolled. its the same course material as UF (MAC 2311 and MAC 2312 if that helps)

[slate garden]

Just depends on the teacher

[inner bridge]

It’s probably a little more intense

AP is a little bit easier than a college class material-wise I believe

[inner bridge]

Next semester I have to take a college science class, anyone know off the top of their head an easy class?

Like generally easy to understand but still a little interesting

Also like a generally easy class

Not something you silly nerds would take to use your gigantic brain

Smh

[bitter plover]

how much did u get?

[bitter plover]

^ and u?

[slate garden]

I haven't taken it, I skipped and went to Phys C

We didn't get too much but diff classes

[bitter plover]

oh

[bitter gyro]

I need help choosing electives and a science class for sophomore year

[nimble trail]

Y’all Im taking bio honors currently so should I take ap environmental science( I’m in 9th grade rn)

Also I plan on taking comp sci principles

FYI I want to go into business

What do y’all think

[stone phoenix]

what field are u into and what classes are u currently taking?

[bitter gyro]

Ok

So I’ve been taking band for 4 years now(4th year) made 1st chair region i trumpet last year

I really love that

I’m taking apcsp rn

Took an info tech course last year

And Chinese because I’m Chinese

And study hall

Taking honors biology this year

Not ap

Honors English 1

Honors geometry

[stone phoenix]

Okay so I’m assuming you’re into a lot of tech based classes. Does your school offer any tech related clubs? Also, if you really want to get into it, consider taking dual credit classes. Keep up your math since you’re in honors geometry. I recommend doubling up on math junior year. But yeah dual credit courses would be so helpful. That’s the way I was able to find more closely relate courses associated with my major

[stone phoenix]

Keep the band stuff up

[bitter gyro]

Ok

Idk abt tech clubs

Don’t really have time with marching

[full tinsel]

Instead of APES, take Stat

And AP Macro/Micro and CS A

Good that ur taking CSP

[nimble trail]

Bro I’m a freshman, I wouldn’t pass

I’m taking csp

[fathom wind]

Can you take APES as a freshman and do well?

[pallid pilot]

I'm a junior having IB courses and currently in psychology. I would like some advice. Thanks

[cinder gorge]

If I want to go into the medical field and become a doctor, specifically neurology specialist or something else neurology related (maybe neurosurgeon), what courses should I take in HS?

I’m a freshman btw

[karmic matrix]

ap bio ap chem

[cinder gorge]

Would it be more important to take ap bio or Chen

Chem

[karmic matrix]

probably chem

[nimble trail]

I’m taking it this year I’m freshman

Y’all is it good that I’m taking ap csp and APES this year

And also should I take another ap or na

[worthy flare]

Is this course selection to vigorous for junior year?

(AP) US History

(AP) Physics

(Honors) Pre-Calc

(Honors) Chem

(Honors) English

(3) Spanish

MDA Portfolio

Gym & Health

My freshman GPA is 3.563, class rank is around the 37 percentile, currently taking Honors Algebra II and Geometry co-enrolled, Honors Bio and Honors world history with my highest grade an 100 in bio and my lowest an 86 in world history. I’ll probably also get a job in junior year too.

[fathom wind]

Are you doing well in it or is it a struggle

[junior lion]

Not impossible, but only you can truly know what you can handle

[nimble trail]

I haven’t taken it yet ima self study

[nimble trail]

?

[worthy flare]

We need more context

[worthy flare]

Sure, an AP class is an AP class so yes ( very general answer)

[lapis phoenix]

1. How much time are you spending on ecs 2. How much free time are you willing to spend on school 3. How hard are these classes (every class is different in difficulty depending on what school you go to)

It is better to ask upperclassmen/people who have taken these courses to get an idea of their difficulty than people on the internet with no clue about the course rigor

Some kids take 6 ap courses in a year and are fine, so it is not impossible but it depends a lot on your school and individual circumstances

[fathom wind]

Tell me how that goes I might try that next yr

Would start of second semester this year be early enough?

[violet dagger]

Depends on skool

[fathom wind]

How?

[violet dagger]

Different schools have different curriculum policies

My school for example doesn’t let freshman choose classes

[fathom wind]

Ah ok

Also wtf freshmen can't choose classes at ur school? That's kinda messed up

[nimble trail]

Ye same we can’t they decide for us

However we can still self study aps

[fathom wind]

That's dumb

Yall do have like band, choir wtv else too that you can pick tho right?

[nimble trail]

Ye we pick electives

Tbh idc cuz it didn’t affect me as I’m still in the highest possible courses

But there’s like a placement criteria here

[violet dagger]

Not in my school

We hv orchestra after school

[fathom wind]

Wow so you have like no extracurriculars from your school

[violet dagger]

But my school is a magnet school and magnet schools r supposed to be like that

[fathom wind]

Except orchestra

[violet dagger]

No we have clubs

[fathom wind]

What's that

[violet dagger]

They’re all during lunch or after skool

[violet dagger]

Magnet schools are schools where they specialize in 1 area

[fathom wind]

Oh

[violet dagger]

For example my school is built around STEM

I went to an art magnet school for middle school so that was built around art

They r usually a lot tinier and not as well rounded as normal school at

[fathom wind]

Like art or the arts

[fathom wind]

Do u like it or do u wish u went to a regular school

[violet dagger]

Arts but focus on visual art and humanities and history

They also typically have a lottery where u apply and get in by chance

[violet dagger]

Yeah I like less ppl and I also love art and science so yeah!!

[nimble trail]

The sport teams must be walk on right

[violet dagger]

Plus u don’t care about stuff like sports as much

I mean I wanna be healthy

But idc about football games

[fathom wind]

Yeah

[violet dagger]

Just my opinion

[nimble trail]

Bruh it’s fine

[fathom wind]

Idc ab sports but I would play baseball If I was any good lol

[violet dagger]

We don’t hv sports teams bc were tiny

Like 600 students

[fathom wind]

For 7th&8th I went to a k-12 private school

With 160 ppl

It was nice having fewer people but they had no APs and below average fine arts which is a big thing for me

[violet dagger]

Oh wow

[fathom wind]

Yeah

[violet dagger]

Why not 6th grade?

[fathom wind]

It was a whole thing I won't get into it but I had to move

[violet dagger]

Oh ok

Nice

[velvet parcel]

If I can't get into calc bc should I do ab or stats

[drifting hearth]

Ab

[violet dagger]

Whatever sounds more interesting to you

[nimble trail]

aps to take freshman year that have no pre reqs and I can self study fairly easily

[worthy flare]

AP CSP

[carmine girder]

What's the recommended amount of ap's for a hs junior

[pearl mesa]

There is none

Typically you want to be taking the same or more as your classmates

[nimble trail]

I’m already taking that

I might take three: psych, human geo, and csp

[velvet crest]

How many years of spanish should I take (rn I’m a sophomore and got 1 middle school credit) I took 3H last year and taking spanish 4H this year (my school only requires 1 credit and passing a proficiency test in 3H) . I don’t know if I should take Spanish 5H junior year bec I also want to take stem electives instead of Spanish (planning to do something in stem for college) such as anatomy and physiology 1 and 2H, ap bio with lab instead of bio honors

[worthy flare]

Thanks for telling me before hand

[worthy flare]

AP Stats if you know what you’re doing

[worthy flare]

soo depends on your school. If your looking to apply to competitive colleges, take as many as you can handle or as much as you can. remember about the course load because selecting the AP classes is way easier than taking them.

[nimble trail]

I was thinking about taking that next year as my school doesn’t allow it

[tall helm]

So i want to try to get into a good engineering school like UT. However, i dont know hwo many APs i should take or what courses i should do, any advice?

[fathom wind]

Is apes alot harder than honors bio

[keen salmon]

Is it worth joining NHS

[rough patio]

A lil bit harder, but not by much.

[rough patio]

Did u take ap CSP before ?

[worthy flare]

Current studying it

[primal birch]

I am currently already quite fluent in chinese, should I take AP chinese as a 9th grader

I took the mock exam the school offers and I have a 5 on the mock

my chinese teacher told me to consider taking it this year

[rough patio]

Have u done the unit 1 exam on code.org yet ?

[rough patio]

Yes and no. It’s a credible program, but if you don’t end up doing it, it’s not gonna make or break ur app

[violet dagger]

Do it if you want to

[keen salmon]

What does NHS do

[pearl mesa]

Community service

[keen salmon]

Don't u have to do a amount community service to join

[pearl mesa]

Usually you have to do a certain amount of community service to stay in the club

It’s probably different for each school

You need a minimum GPA to join

[subtle summit]

does anyone know how to translate my gpa to the 4.0 scale bc rn it just shows it as in the hundreds?

[fervent jasper]

Assuming you mean unweighted- for each class an A is a 4, a B is a 3, a C is a 2, and a D is a 1, and failing is 0 (I think). Just find the average for all the classes you’ve taken

For weighted, which takes course rigor into account, it’s different for each school and isn’t really standardized

[subtle summit]

rn it says I have a 100.263 for weighted gpa…

[fervent jasper]

Weighted is subjective, there’s no standardized thing

Different for each school

[subtle summit]

oh

[fervent jasper]

Colleges you apply to will translate your grades to their scale

Most top schools just look at the transcript not the number

[subtle summit]

I just wanted to know bc I’m afraid it’s not good enough but thanks for the help

[fervent jasper]

You can translate it to unweighted and compare it that way

Or google the amount of ap courses most applicants to a school take

[worthy flare]

Not yet, I recently started, abt a week ago. From my experience, it doesn’t seem like a very hard course yet

[soft jacinth]

Should I self study the AP Precalc exam

[nimble trail]

Anyone got notes for ap psych or human geo

[subtle summit]

I’m in AP psych currently

[nimble trail]

Ye I’m looking to self study so I might need notes

[subtle summit]

on what

[nimble trail]

Everything lol

Like the most important parts of each unit

[subtle summit]

oh I’m currently taking it now so I only have notes for unit 1 on the scientific foundations of psychology

[nimble trail]

Could I get it 😂

[subtle summit]

they’re not great lol it’s in a packet that my teacher gave me

[worthy flare]

u could use chatgbt to help you .-.

[subtle summit]

I never had time to write it neat into my notebook

yea also what mist said

[worthy flare]

I’d assume it’s easier than taking someone else’s notes

[nimble trail]

Aight thanks

[soft jacinth]

Should I self study the AP Precalc exam

[wraith rover]

if you have a strong background in math then go for it

[nimble trail]

is apes easy to self study as a freshman

[full tinsel]

If you have a strong background in environmental science then yes

Should I self study 20 APs? 🤓🤓🤓

[vale yoke]

20 APs tf

i wasnt even allowed to take them as a underclassman AHHH

[nimble trail]

no but im taking honors bio and ive done scouts

[dim stump]

guys should i take organic chem or differntial geometry as a neonatal baby??? i want to get into community college but everyone is saying im behind 😭

[violet dagger]

Pick what u want

[brave dew]

do i need a level physics to study pre med in US universities or is one year of physics at the university i ll study enough?

[pliant ermine]

Depends. I would suggest researching that is asking your counselor

[upper pivot]

too late

you now dont have time to solve quantum physics by age 2

[dim stump]

dangit... my classmate had already hypothesized the complete field theory by then :( i don't think i will get accepted to elementary school

[robust junco]

I just got accepted to a selective school for next year. Can someone help me with my subject choices? I only need 3 more and I don't know which one. I can explain more in dms. Please 😅❗

[bitter ore]

Is it important to take as many APs as you can because im in AP gov as a freshman and my teacher recomended me to AP American history but i have no intrest to do a course like that but i dont want it to look like i wasnt smart enougu

[fervent jasper]

Usually orgo is done when ur a fetus, the national standard for neonatal is curing cancer

You may be a bit behind

[soft jacinth]

Im exceptional in math

[ancient juniper]

Anyone here majoring in law?

[fervent jasper]

I want to do polisci then go to law school

[violet dagger]

Choose what ur interested in

[violet dagger]

If u hv no interest then don’t do it

Now the time to explore

[wispy frigate]

should I skip pre-calc from Alg 2 and just go to ap calc ab

[violet dagger]

Not unless if u have a very very strong foundation

[hexed locust]

no

pre-calc is something u deff do not want to skip

[surreal mortar]

yeah i skipped geometry a few years back and i really regret it

[azure tusk]

what math class should i skip becuase i think of skipping algebra 1 is it good

[normal ember]

Honestly it's very doable but self study your unit circle and trig among other things

You gotta apply yourself

But I recommend taking precalc over the summer instead

That's what I did

[soft jacinth]

Is it possible to do 7 AP tests in one year? I’ve never done an honors of AP course before: (4 AP classes for the test, AP Stats, Lit, APES, and macroecon) (2 for self studies, Microecon, and Human Geography) (1 for my precalc class, AP precalc) my classes are going well so far. Im exceptional in math, have a strong background in social studies, decent at science, and my worst subject is english

[snow whale]

why do u want to do the ap precalc test? cuz it seems like ur gonna take ap calc ab/bc anyway, so you don't need to do ap precalc

as colleges would see ur ap calc score and it wouldnt matter if u did ap pre calc or not

[soft jacinth]

Idk, I guess for shits and gigs mainly

[dense sparrow]

should i take ap gov or ap macroecon/micro

[static acorn]

i think 7 could be managable

im taking 6 tests for ap chem, ap hug, ap phys 1, ap phys 2, ap phys c, ap calc bc

[nimble trail]

All the physics😅

[static acorn]

yeah all but em

[surreal mortar]

What looks better: having an A-/B+ in Honors Chemistry (my school has few ap and honors classes)
or an A in standard Chemistry

[dense sparrow]

for sure having a A-/B+ in honors classes in general

they are meant to be difficult

[quasi lion]

Okay so when colleges look at course rigor do they only look at the type e.g. standard, honors, AP, IB, or DE, or do that actually consider the courses themselves?

[pearl mesa]

The type, usually the courses are the same for most HS students

Physics, bio, chem, math, whatever it is

But with like math, obviously calc is gonna be more advanced than geometry

But you can’t do the same for AP lang vs AP Lit yk?

[quasi lion]

I've taken classes that are more advance than normal (I think) college classes, calc 1, 2, and 3, differential equations, physics w/ calc 1 and 2 etc... (15 total DE courses)

[pearl mesa]

Nice

DE and college classes help to show rigor

[quasi lion]

I dont have that much going for me so I hope so,

[pearl mesa]

You’re doing great

Gotta have confidence in yourself

[quasi lion]

I'm trying not to get my hopes up

[pearl mesa]

You got it

[amber owl]

Should I do ap lit

[quasi lion]

Ive heard it is challenging, If you are interested in literature go for it but if you just want more ap classes there are more manageable options,

[pearl mesa]

I’m taking it rn, it’s a lot of reading but other than that not too bad

[amber owl]

Could you please give me examples

[amber owl]

Ooh ok, ty

[quasi lion]

I took AP comp sci and it was easy, you just have to get the fundamentals down and you're set

honestly even AP Calc AB and BC are solid (this is what friends have told me) as long as you have a good math background (trig/pre-calc)

[hidden field]

Do I necessarily need to be in AP Calc BC to be eligible for med school? Is AB good enough?

[pearl mesa]

Med schools in the US don’t care what classes you took in high school

[hidden field]

Good

Still, would it help if I want to go into a pre med major as an undergrad?

[pearl mesa]

Maybe

Probably a tiny bit

But like

It’s not a big deal

[soft jacinth]

Kk (:

[robust junco]

I only have three subjects that I am strongly interested in which I selected. So I don't mind if someone can blind pick for me.

If anyone likes to help pick 5 more subjects for my subject selection, just dm me. It would be very appreciated! Thanks! 😊💫

[azure tusk]

what math class should i skip becuase i think of skipping algebra 1 is it good

[snow whale]

U can’t skip a class

Also what grade are u

[remote elbow]

Why can't they?

[hazy horizon]

Alg 2 was the easiest class I’ve tooken

Alg 1 is the basis of all math, please don’t skip

I skipped geometry actually and got by just fine, now I’m doing college math in hs

[hazy horizon]

In high school it’s pretty slack, I just talked to my counsellor and told her I was academically misplaced in math

[hazy horizon]

I tried to do this. I would strongly recommend doing precalc in summer school because you need a super strong foundation in it to be decent at calc, also take some trig at least because they expect it of you

[snow whale]

U would have to take an exam or smth that gives u the credit

[hazy horizon]

I straight up didn’t take it

I tested out of it but I did not receive any credit

[soft jacinth]

Is this a good line up of AP classes? APES, AP Stats, AP lit (I don’t wanna take the test for this one ):), AP Macroecon, and then I wanna self study AP microecon, and AP Human Geography. I would also like to self study 1 more ap, preferably a social studies class. Any suggestions? Im a junior and want to be a math major. Im taking Calc BC as a senior

[lone lion]

bro

💀

its a line up of hell

[soft jacinth]

😂

I know,

[lone lion]

if u study macro and micro kinda contradicting but like oh well

cause u have to study small and big at the same time

but i mean both are 1 semester so ig it works out

[soft jacinth]

We do Macro in half a semester at my school

[lone lion]

yeah its all schools

wait

nvm half

wtf

💀

[soft jacinth]

Lol

[lone lion]

weird school tbh

‼️

its meant for 1 not 1/2

[soft jacinth]

My school is very weird

Thats doable tho right? Idc if I have the urge to die I’ve been through worse

[lone lion]

i mean sure if u wanna kill urself fs

[surreal mortar]

Would it be smart to do an independent study for AP human geography? i’ve already done the class but my school doesn’t offer the AP. should i just take the ap and study for a little bit before hand?

[lone lion]

ye

then take it at another school the ap test

[soft jacinth]

W

[surreal mortar]

thats what i was planning on doing

[lone lion]

yea

[surreal mortar]

how hard is the test? i got a 4.0 in the class so i think i have a good understanding

[wet rune]

ap human isnt that hard

i found the test pretty easy

i got a 5 as well

[surreal mortar]

ok sweet

how much studying does it take?

[wet rune]

like about half an hour every day if youre consistant

doa lot of prctice frqs and mcqs

[surreal mortar]

great thank you!

[nimble trail]

Is it fine to self study apes in freshman year[ps I’m taking honors bio(hardest class I can take)]

[wet rune]

np!

[static acorn]

Im doing that

[copper vine]

So, what does Engineering class have? Is it like 3D printing and word works and etc stuff or its like the other class. (Please ping when responded)

[fervent jasper]

We don’t know how school specific classes work

Ask your guidance counselor

[copper vine]

Oh it's different in other schools?

I did not know lol

[fervent jasper]

Only ap stuff is really standardized

Everything else is pretty subjective

[quasi lion]

I want to do pre-med in university, would doing mathematics or biomathematics along with premed be a bad idea?

[pearl mesa]

It’ll be more work but it’s doable

Do you want to major in biomathmatics?

[quasi lion]

If I can, it's not offered everywhere though, I enjoy computational biology, I don't know if it would translate well to medical professions though,

[fathom wind]

If I quit choir, what class should I take in it's place (I'm a freshman)

I already take APHG, honor bio, honors geometry and honors english

[elder quartz]

depends on what you want to majro in

if its a stem based major

take another stem class

that advances you

if its humanities related

do that if you want to

[fathom wind]

I have no idea what to major in though

[elder quartz]

well try to narrow down your options

and do whatever you feel is best for you

[static acorn]

i mean you dont really have to narrow down your majors in freshman year

stem classes are almost always beneficial so you should take them

[pearl mesa]

It doesn’t need to translate well, just do the major you want to take

[soft jacinth]

Ok, im a junior whos never taken an ap or honors course before. Could I do the stats, APES, and Macro exams with the class? Additionally, could I self study Microecon, World history, Psychology and Human geography? I wanna major in math but I’m also passionate about social studies. If this isn’t doable what could I change? Im taking Calc BC as a senior

[fervent jasper]

med schools dont really care what u do in undergrad

most science related things will be good

[fervent jasper]

self studying 4 when you havent done any ever is gonna be a lot

[soft jacinth]

I know, its gonna be hard. Would you say it’s possible? I’ve started self studying macro a bit, because the class hasn’t started yet. Figured I’d get a head start

[fervent jasper]

Possible as in being able to learn material in time? Theoretically. Doable as in maintaining sanity and getting a good score? That depends on you

Concept based classes like Econ and some of psych are a lot harder to self study

Fact based is usually easier cause it’s more just rote memorization

[soft jacinth]

If I lose my shit thats fine,

I just wanna make sure I can learn all the information in time for the exam mainly

[fervent jasper]

Theoretically but I can’t vouch for how well you’ll do

You have no experience with higher level courses and are taking some that are decently hard to self study

[soft jacinth]

Yea it’ll be hard, I do have a decent memory imo so idk

It should work

[fervent jasper]

Good luck

[soft jacinth]

I appreciate it

[nimble trail]

guys im currently in a honors bio class in freshman year(max my school allows) but i am able to self study ap bio

[static acorn]

[frail prism]

Def

[violet dagger]

If u wanna yes

[deft maple]

Should I take honors chemistry before AP Chemistry? Will the AP chemistry be hard if my only prior experience is biology honors?

[pearl mesa]

Yes it will be hard, but it’s do able

You definitely want to have some type of background knowledge, which means you should do your own research

Ask the teacher what would be good background knowledge to have

[deft maple]

How hard? Is it like no social life hard or hard as in it will take 1-2 hours of studying on your own?

[surreal mortar]

Im in Honors Chem currently and it is brutal, but my school’s standard classes are the equivalent of an honors in our states public system, so i guess it really depends on the school

[pearl mesa]

I couldn’t tell you that. It’s different for every class, every teacher, every person

Honors chem was not that hard for me

So I could’ve moved up to AP chem right away

[static acorn]

i have almost no knowledge in chem and im taking that class rn

its ok if you actually read the textbook

i have like abt 3.5 hrs of hw per week i think

including reading the text

Should I take dual enrollment classes relating to my interest (electronics engineering) or ap classes that relate to my interest (engineering) and other ap classes that don't relate to my interest? (to get some of the humanities classes out of the way in college)

[bold topaz]

Dual enrollment is better if you are gonnna go to that same college @solar vault

That u dual enrolled in

[languid ruin]

dual enrollment is best for in state colleges

[sudden creek]

how does dual enrollment work between ur high school curriculum and college classes?

[pearl mesa]

You take college level classes at your high school and they count for college credit

At available colleges

[sudden creek]

wait dual enrollment is at your high school?

[pearl mesa]

Yes

[sudden creek]

oh okay cool thank you

i thought you had to travel to a community college lol

[pearl mesa]

no

[native trout]

Should I self study AP psych

[rancid merlin]

Do AP chem

I'm in it rn and it's not that bad

[cinder gorge]

Has anyone taken honors physics)

Could anyone give me like a brief overview I was gonna take it next year

[languid ruin]

sometimes you do, sometimes the professors go to your high school

it depends on the classes, variety, professors, geography, etc

[bold topaz]

Just take a 100 percent online class, which is just homework and watching videos. Or take an online class with zoom meetings whatever u prefer

[sudden creek]

how do you sign up for that?

[languid ruin]

the dual enrollment classes will specifically say if it is online or not. there is not really a choice

[boreal gull]

If you take dual enrollment and it counts as a math credit would you have another elective course or do it in school?

[cinder gorge]

I want to major in physics but I'm scared that I might not get a job and I really don't want to do academic research. Should I just major in engineering physics?

[bold topaz]

I would recommend speaking bc with your counselor because when you apply for dual enrollment your high school will pay for the classes. If you want an online class simply look at the open sections for classes that you want to to take. And they variety from on campus to zoom and even just completely online.

[sudden creek]

Oh, the community college near me offers dual enrollment for free (CCSF), but it's only for juniors and above. It does say something about allowing 10th graders to have certain classes. What classes would you recommend to do for dual enrollment?

[bold topaz]

I would recommend doing required classes that are basically an easy A like for example CIS-100 which is computer information it’s just learning how to use Microsoft word, excel stuff like that. But your college might have different required classes, if you can’t find any I recommend doing any course that is introductory that you can do online easily

[languid ruin]

im not sure what you mean

[crisp mango]

Hey guys! Thoughts on ap work history? You think I should take it right now as a junior (taking ap lang and ap psych)

And another question is should I take ap bio junior year or senior year? Taking it rn and…. I did get low marks on a unit test but able to get retake and get 75%

[solar vault]

i am dual enrolling in a community college

and hell no im not going to a community college

lol

[bold topaz]

You would get more credits if you did and if they have transfers to your desired uni

And it’s cheaper by a lot

What are the best AP/Dual-Credit classes to take as a sophomore and what classes I should take in the future

I am both trying to get into prestigious colleges and win valedictorian

[bold topaz]

I answered it a little up

[earnest pendant]

thx

[normal ember]

I'm a sophomore rn taking

1. AP WH
2. AP CSP
3. AP Calc AB
4. AICE Lang AS (British AP)

And last year I took

1. AP HUG
2. AICE General Paper AS
3. AICE Thinking Skills AS

If you haven't already and you're interested

I recommend AP Human, AP CSP, and all of the AICE classes

(if you can take the AICE ones)

AP calc AB imo is kinda useless if you plan on taking BC and I don't know if you're that far in math yet
