course-selection

[pearl mesa]

You can just take the AP class

But if you do need recommendations

You’re gonna want good grades this year

So do your best to keep your grades high

[unborn temple]

Hmm, Is it possible to get into AP this year if I am able to show mastery in the current course?

[pearl mesa]

Possibly

I don’t know anything about your school sooo

Ask your counselor

[unborn temple]

oh ok

Thanks!

also any tips on what to expect?

[frigid vale]

im a freshman and im taking

Honors English 1
World Geography
Honors Computer Science 1
Art 1
Biology
Honors Algebra 2
Spanish 1

good load?

im taking non-honor classes this year but next year i plan to do AP and honors

[pearl mesa]

Depends on the AP course

[unborn temple]

Did you master algebra 2? Just asking

[frigid vale]

im takaing art to get the fine art credit out of the way, but i plan to stick with comp sci and spanish throughout my 4 years

[frigid vale]

im learning it right now im not the best at it

[unborn temple]

So your school started right?

[frigid vale]

yes

1/4 of the way done

no

i took geometry last year

im 2 years ahead i think

bare minimum is algebra 1 as a freshman

gotcha

[frigid vale]

geometry is 1 year ahead, algebra 2 is 2 years ahead of math

ive never taken an algebra 2 course before

yes

just more difficult

and faster

i decided to go with an easier load freshman year since i heard if i want to take on-level classes it should be freshman year

i mean ya if ur good at algebra 1 you can be good at algebra 2

algebra 2 is just a lot weirder

[unborn temple]

hmm

got it

[pearl mesa]

I’m now aware of any sorry

[wheat wedge]

Does anyone have any tips on what I could self study? If you need to know, I want to be an astrophysicist.

[feral lava]

You can self study apes or any easy science ap class

Also since you want to be a astrophysicist take dual credit astronomy (if you school has it) and ap physics c (if you can handle the rigor - otherwise ap physics 2 is perfectly fine)

[wheat wedge]

Thank you. I'll probably self study chemistry, or maybe astronomy (of course), since my school doesn't offer it. I'll probably purchase some textbooks for it. Are there any websites I can use for self studying that you know of? Thank you.

[tidal stag]

Guys, will doing any AP help for SAT math?

[pearl mesa]

That doesn’t make sense but

#standard-test-help

Or #ap-exam-help

[tidal stag]

I mean like, will doing what best prepare me

[green trellis]

yes, AP should help but that shouldn't be your only study source. i'd buy a study book and rely on that

[zealous raft]

yo guys

what’s the easiest ap mathematics course

[outer spoke]

Pre calc ?

[azure tusk]

what ap should i take

i plaiing of taking ap computer scince and ap human geo plus geoemrty and algebra 2 honnors is this too much of a workload for me i am a freshman next year as well

#bot-commands

[young pasture]

I'm not sure what a alevels subjects to take. Is it better to take sociology,psychology and economics or business,psychology and economics. What is a better combination and does business have more weightage or sociology

[deft maple]

When a college requires you to take two foreign languages sequentially, does that mean you have to take it in the same year?

[violet dagger]

No I think it means after 1 language take the other one

[feral lava]

I dont know any but khan academy is good

[hollow ice]

Is this a good four-year plan for high school https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eziV75-CxXrBwWu3lU4Djw92Jk5Y8ki8jToqzc9gyJQ/edit?usp=sharing

[deft maple]

So like one this year and one next year?

[fiery hatch]

is chem not required at your school?

@violet dagger

[violet dagger]

It is in 10th grade

I’m in 9th so not yet for me

[west barn]

Hello. I was thinking of what I should do in high school. I recently learned about ap classes and I was confused on them. What are ap classes? How many should I take? What years should I take them? Are they hard? What are the ap classes that I can take? Which should I take or not take? I am also sending this email because I want to go to a good college where I can make a business. I don’t know what I will make, but what colleges should I go to? How much are they? Where are they located? Another thing I don’t get in high school is the classes. Are there certain classes I have to take but I can do advanced? How do the GPA’s work?How do electives work? What is the a+ program? How do I get in? What are the requirements? I just know that it is a big help on your college application.

I am very sorry about the amount of questions that I have but I don’t know who else to ask because all of my Google searches just were confusing. I want to get into a college that I will like so I need to know what to do. Once again, I’m sorry about all of the questions.

Thank you!

[pearl mesa]

You should try to do your own research on these things and then if you have any other questions, you can ask

Google is more than sufficient to explain AP classes

And then anyone here can help with further questions

https://ap.collegeboard.org/#:~:text=AP gives students the chance,AP STUDENTS

[worthy flare]

Imma answer so no one else has to, @west barn

Right now you are asking questions about the college app. #college-guidance will probably answer these better than I will.

AP or Advanced Placement classes are college level courses one can take to receive college credit. But only if they receive a 4-5 (3’s are weird, some do some don’t.) AP exams are what determines if you get college credit, not if you pass the class. Colleges like to see AP classes on your resume because it shows them that you are motivated and qualified to take courses with rigor.

What AP classes you shall take depends on what you want to do in life. As well as what your school. Random people on discord do not know your past grades but because you like business, you should take AP Calculus.

Try and take AP classes as soon as possible. And yes, they are hard. Also pretty sure all AP classes look good.

The College section is all on you, I have no right to tell you where you should spend the next 4 years of your life. What I can say is when looking for colleges, try to use these factors: (cost, distance from family, location, how much money you have.)

Ima be making the biggest estimate but I’m pretty sure the average cost for a college per year is around 25k in the US. You can go to college pretty much anywhere in the world, just do your research.

For “Are there certain classes I have to take but I can do advanced?” Question, that you should ask your guidance counselor.

Gpa or Grade Point Average is a system used to calculate your freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year average grades. National average is around 3.0, if you want to get into a selective school, try and aim for 3.8-4.0+.

Elective classes are not core classes (like math, science, English, history) but rather classes like music and art and ect. You have to choose what elective classes you want, but try to aim for those that interest you.

I have no clue what the A+ program is. If you mean valedictorian, that is when you are #1 in your class, meaning you have the highest gpa out of your class.

Btw literally all of these questions I found from Google lmao.

[pearl mesa]

Ty for taking the time to write this all out

[worthy flare]

np

[worthy flare]

I did more research and the A+ program seems to be something only in Missouri

[azure tusk]

an i allowed to take ap compuetr science and take algerba 1 at the same time

an i allowed to take ap compuetr science and take algerba 1 at the same time @everyone

[pearl mesa]

Ask your counselor

We don’t know

[azure tusk]

ok

but can you gennalrlly can

do it

[quick igloo]

Is this the right place to ask for help because I don’t know what bachelors to pursue?

[pearl mesa]

Typically AP CSA had a math pre req

And algebra 1 might be too low

But that was just for my school

Like I said

You’re better off asking your counselor

[tall river]

So I’ve already self learned alg 2, precalc, and AP calc ab on khan academy despite me being in geometry.
there’s a test I can take in the summer where if I get 80% or higher, I can get the hs credit for the class
I’m currently already planning on doing the alg 2 test, but I was wondering if I should do the precalc test?
This will probably be the last year I will want to take these tests bc once I’m in high school, the tests will be factored into my gpa

So should I just at least try to take the precalc test, and take advantage of the test scores not going into gpa rn?

[west barn]

Mist tysm for answering all of my questions it helped me a lot so thank you and I asked my counselor some stuff too. Thank you!

[soft jacinth]

For my Senior year (Im a junior now) should I do APUSH, AP Calc BC, AP Amer Gov (you need some form of gov to graduate at my school), and AP Chem? I also wanted to self study AP Physics C Mechanics. I want to major in mathematics

[tidal stag]

don't study AP phys C unless you're willing to put all of your time into it, single hardes exam to self study

[soft jacinth]

K

[lone lion]

physics c self study wtf

💀💀

The insanity of some ppl

[dim stump]

and i thought i had no life 😭

[fringe barn]

I'm taking calc based physics as a sophomore, some of us might be mildly insane but it's okay

[lone lion]

💀

[lone lion]

this server is full of crazy ppl

kinda makes me wanna kms

[fringe barn]

I want your opinion on my schedule for next year@lone lion I'm a freshmen rn
APUSH
honors English 2
Choir
AP Calc bc
Ap stats
Pe
AP chem

[lone lion]

lmao

[fringe barn]

So that would be my sophomore schedule plus dual enrollment calc based physics

[lone lion]

killing urself early

[fringe barn]

I got a gray hair yesterday

[lone lion]

💀

[fringe barn]

Not even joking

[lone lion]

have fun if u wanna kill urself

not even joking

ap chem + apush is already gonna make u go insane

[fringe barn]

Is that reasonable when also studying for USApho, being Color Guard Captain probably, being in philosophy club, being in engineering club, tutoring kids, and doing drama club?

/srs

[fringe barn]

I have a friend who's in it AP US History and the average grade for the last test was 3/8

[lone lion]

💀

lmaoaoaoa

[winged lagoon]

Guys which classes are easy but challenging at the same time?

[pearl mesa]

Soooo you can’t have an easy class that’s also challenging 😭

They’re kinda opposites

Also besides some AP classes, we don’t know what your school offers

[winged lagoon]

Well like a normal class but with a challenge

[pearl mesa]

^

I also don’t know what constitutes as a normal class

Like a non honors?

[verbal siren]

Just looking for an opinion on my course selection for my senior years (Australian high school)
Mathematics advanced + extension
English advanced + extension
Chemistry
Physics
Biology
Modern history

Any thoughts?

[worthy flare]

You’re taking chem bio and physics all in the same year with no electives?

[woven wing]

Hey I’m in Aus school yr8. Should I accelerate in English. I’m already doing it in French and computing by a couple years. I’ve got straight A+’s. Idk if it’s worth it though

[urban drum]

What AP classes should I take if I want to be a Physics major?
(Pls pin me when replying)

[dim stump]

okay i was half asleep but after waking ip this morning i think i may have been trashing on myself

😍

[verbal siren]

Yupurino 💀 I never really liked my music it art class though so no choice ig

[verbal siren]

Yeah! I reckon if you feel ready, and definitely if you’ve got straight A+‘s!
From what I’ve noticed it hasn’t changed all too much in the years, just a lot more details and reading is required. Overall if you feel ready, go for it!

[lone lion]

😎😎

[winged lagoon]

What are good classes to choose for the first year of high school

[worthy flare]

As rigorous as possible

[winged lagoon]

got it how many do u reccomened?

[worthy flare]

as much as you can handle realistically

[winged lagoon]

How much did u do

[worthy flare]

I didn’t do any freshman year, now as a sophomore I am taking 2, next year I will be taking 2 AP’s and the rest honors

[winged lagoon]

Ah Alr

[cunning ember]

By any chance anyone knows abt IIST ?

[cinder gorge]

Since im doing algebra 1 early in 8th grade, is it ok to skip to do Geometery in 9th?

Ping me for advice

[lone lion]

ap algebra 💀

[cinder gorge]

Huh

I have a math question

Not a

Com Science question

[lone lion]

bro what 😭 what does developing websites have to do w math

[pale plaza]

no do the full algrebra 1, geo, algebra 2 unless u can get out of it but geo is a needed foundataion for pre calc or wtv

[pale plaza]

ap physics 1,2 ,c e&M, c mech, ap calc ab or bc , chem, wtv enginnering coures u have at ur school if u have them

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

Im taking Algebra 1 in 8th grade right now

And if I finish I can skip it

So I should do it

[solid shoal]

Should I do Algebra 2 over Summer break

[fervent harbor]

yo is anyone here aiming to give LSAT?

[urban drum]

Thanks for the suggestions. Makes sense to talk all the physics courses

[mint thorn]

Like for law school…?

[fervent harbor]

... yeah

[mint thorn]

we’re all high schoolers lol

[cinder gorge]

LOL

[violet dagger]

Don’t do it unless if u hv strong foundation in math

Bc then u will struggle later

[cinder gorge]

Uh

Well

When I got switched to Algebra 1

There was an upcoming test

On topic one

They had been working on that for 2 months

Well

1 and a half but

I took it on the fourth day

I got an 88%, while the class average was 50-75%

My teacher was really impressed

I only had a few days there, but the rest of the class had a month and a half

So

I don't know

Maybe I have a strong foundation

[cinder gorge]

Should I do it?

[magic orbit]

i recommend you not skip geometry

it's usually not a good idea to skip math unless you either already know how to do them, or self taught

all of the maths stack on each other from what have u learned

[cinder gorge]

ok

[cinder gorge]

No im not gonna skip geometry

Im gonna skip Algebra 1 because I did it

[sullen hedge]

yo guys should i go honors spanish 2 next year for gpa boost and easier or do spanish 3

[cinder gorge]

What grade

[abstract dagger]

what spanish are you taking right now?

[sullen hedge]

1

[abstract dagger]

and as wondercreations said, what grade did you get

[sullen hedge]

9th

[abstract dagger]

how did you feel about spanish 1? easy?

[sullen hedge]

Yeah pretty easy I have 2 family members who speak Spanish so I have the accent down, I know basic vocab and congregations

And I’m gonna be taking Spanish 2 over the summer regardless

Just so I am prepared

[abstract dagger]

oh okay then spanish 3 would probably be better

[sullen hedge]

Even though Spanish 2 is like free gpa boost?

[abstract dagger]

because then you can get to spanish 4 faster to take ap spanish senior year or have an extra elective in senior year if you decide not to take ap spanish / if your school doesn't have it

colleges generally care more about your junior and senior grades (i think)

[sullen hedge]

Ye

And sophomore

Also helps

Freshman not so much

[abstract dagger]

ap spanish is a lot easier to take if you've taken spanish 4 so i'd choose spanish 3 so you can take the ap

[sullen hedge]

Alright I’ll take all of Spanish 2 over the summer and think it over if I want the gpa boost or to reach AP Spanish faster

Same with Pre Cal

Might try to get into the Calc AB sophomore year idk

[sullen hedge]

Ye

[normal ember]

If you end up doing that then feel free to ask me abt it

I did that (currently taking it, took precal over summer)

it's stressful to take precalc fully over the summer but if you are confident enough then

go ahead

it's very doable

[sullen hedge]

ok

also @normal ember

how do i remove helper roles im tired of getting pinsg every 2 seconds

[normal ember]

uh

it should be in the dropdown

scroll all the way down and there it is

[sullen hedge]

k

[dim stump]

anyway alg 1 is like a 9th grade class @cinder gorge

[winged lagoon]

dang

but I think that I'm in algreba 1

[dim stump]

honestly shoot higher. i self studied trig, precalc, alg 2 while in my geometry course so i skipped to calc (where i am now)

geometry really isn’t hard so take advantage of the time

its mostly intuition and a few formulas to memorize

[winged lagoon]

I haven't done geometry yet but I hope I do plus my teacher said that he'll give us a sheet of all of the formulas to use on the test

[dim stump]

yea ur good i skipped to calc with only khan

[winged lagoon]

I-

ya'll are otherworldy

[dim stump]

wait yall r 14

bc 8th?

um

[winged lagoon]

yessir

well I'm 14

[dim stump]

same !!

[winged lagoon]

did u get held back?

[dim stump]

huh my 8th grade was 13-14 yr olds

[winged lagoon]

mine too

Oh

I guess ur birthday starts later?

when is it

ooh cool

what about u onion whens ur birthday

[dim stump]

honestly age doesn’t play too much of a factor in academics tbh. its mostly whether you try to understand the material versus just rote memorization

thats why i nearly failed alg 1

[winged lagoon]

It doesn't really I got judged for knowning too much for my age

[dim stump]

feb 27 ‘09

[winged lagoon]

mines aug 23 '09

[dim stump]

i have a friend whos younger than you and in HS

huh

[winged lagoon]

wow

[dim stump]

its by 3 days ig

unlucky birthday placement 😭

[winged lagoon]

4 days

[dim stump]

their birthday is aug 26

[winged lagoon]

oh

my birthdays birthday is on my birthday

[dim stump]

honestly i kinda regret skipping freshman bc i have to decide all my courses sooner

i spent a good week stressing what math to take based on a placement test i took 😭

and then boom i gotta plan my dual enrollment courses for next year on top of that

[winged lagoon]

you skipped it? how did u skip?

[dim stump]

do u know what classes they offer

[dim stump]

well i had the 9th grade math and science credits so i just took english 1 online

to meet all the credits for 9th

[winged lagoon]

ohh okay

in my state 8th graders take algebra 1 w/ statistics

[dim stump]

my middle school was split with 8th graders taking alg 1 / geometry

[winged lagoon]

wow

I hope we do geometry next

writing?

[dim stump]

i hates geometry tbh

hated

probably bc i didnt listen but proofs are the inly thing needing a lot of memorization

[winged lagoon]

right now we're doing one and two step equations which is easy bc this is review from 7th and 6th

[dim stump]

yeah i did then last year

[winged lagoon]

huh?

[dim stump]

its not like abstract algebra type stuff no thats like upper level undergrad

just simply proofs with simple theorems

calc 1

taking calc 2 next semester

dual enrollment; my hs doesnt offer APs

yeah

charter

if i reveal any more im prolly gonna doxx myself

but whatever

its on a community college so my junior + senior yesrs are gonna be exclusively college classes

yeah

well for pre-med i’m mostly trying to save money

so probably somewhere instate like UF

but other than thst i’m only going to apply to top schools that are actually worth their bucks

yeah

since i will have my associates im guaranteed admission there

nah

my family income is…

a bit high 😭

thats why im mainly looking at state schools

but my dad told me that pre-med is hella hard so im tryna get experiences with the curriculum

for example i’m tryna tryhard my chem classes so i can take organic chem 1 + 2 in my senior year

no but something similar. im in it

theres also this anatomy and physilogy course imma be taking

which sounds really interesting

honestly the only reason my courses benefit my college app is bc im taking them out of interest

bc if i took differential equations and MVC just for college apps i would probably not survive HS

but i genuinely enjoy math so

yeah

[winged lagoon]

also same

I'ma go to bed guys goodnight! I wish u luck for another day of school! ❤️

[dim stump]

gn

[winged lagoon]

gn u also should probably go to sleep if ur not studying

[dim stump]

you’re probably gone by now but i have to finish 2 sections of calc hw and revise for my calc midterm 😭

[sullen hedge]

u in 8th

[sullen hedge]

deviations

[dim stump]

?

[fringe barn]

Here is the closest I'm thinking of taking next summer
Introductory Chemistry
General Physics 1/ physics of everyday life
Pre calc

Along with doing a summer Musical

The courses would be taken at my local Community College,

[cinder gorge]

Hey buddy

[cinder gorge]

Im in florida too

[oak plaza]

This what I was thinking of taking next year (currently sophomore)

• Ap us history
• Ap physics 1
• Ap English lang
• Ap pre calc (maybe AB, trying to self study pre calc)
• Ap comp sci Pr
• Ap econ
• adv. theology
• art1 (first semester) financial literacy (2nd semester)

[lone lion]

ru tryna kill urself

if u are then go ahead 🤡 LMAAOAOA

[oak plaza]

At my school a lot of ppl do 6 aps junior year

For the program I’m in I already have to take 4

[azure tusk]

how many is a good amount of ap`s in freshman
i thinking of taking 4 or 5 maybe or more
how much would be enough and be too much

[oak plaza]

That’s a lot

I’ve never heard of a freshmen taking more than 2

My school limits us to 1 fresh and 2 (3 on rare occasion) sophomore year

Does the school youre going to go to next year allow that many

[azure tusk]

i think so

becuase my school gives up ap huma geo as an option for social studies in ninth grade

so i assume yes

is ap bio the same thing as bio but ap

[cinder gorge]

I would recommend to change art, unless if it is really what you want

[fringe barn]

My school has a no freshman in ap rule

[zealous raft]

i think it’s good

yo guys

so i’m currently a freshman

this is what i plan on taking next year

4 are required byw

btw

physics
alg. 2
11th english
world history
apush
Spanish 3

okay i’m weird and even have the next year kinda roughly planned out so here it is

ap world
ap bio
ap csp
ap gov
post secondary prep
chemistry
Spanish 4

okay i also have THE NEXT HEAR rough plan

here it is

ap chem
ap stats
ap lang
ap euro
ap physics
college and career exploration
college essay
intro to art

[zealous raft]

idk my school doesn’t allow freshmen’s to take ap classes

[zealous raft]

also don’t say to change art bc it’s required to take a a visual/performing/applied arts course

[pseudo belfry]

Guys, when I become a junior, I need to choose 6 courses 3 HL and 3 SL my intended major is business should I choose math HL or English HL?

[cinder gorge]

W

[oak plaza]

It’s to fill school requirement

That one is kind of in the air

I might switch it out for a different one, I jsut need to take one more semester of some kind of arts class

[stiff scarab]

How much Ap's should I take freshman year to get into an ivy league? (currently only taking Apes)

Im thinking of adding APCSP

[normal ember]

Depends on what your school lets you take and what you wanna take

I'm really enjoying APCSP rn so that's a good choice imo

APHG is also a good freshman course imo

[stiff scarab]

can I go into it with no coding experience?

[normal ember]

Yeah absolutely

Starts from the very basics

The type of stuff you'll be learning and the pace may be a bit different based on your school

My school used to have the code.org one but now they have the CS50 one by Harvard

Which is way better (but also more advanced)

[pseudo belfry]

Anyone?

[pearl mesa]

Whichever one you like better, I assume

[winged lagoon]

Guys what are good classes for highschool freshmen

[cinder gorge]

Alright

[fringe barn]

Here is what I'm thinking of taking next summer
Introductory Chemistry
General Physics 1/ physics of everyday life
Pre calc
(

[covert cypress]

I'm pretty sure as a freshman my school only provides one AP Course which is AP Seminar, if i aspire to become a lawyer is it worth it?

[pearl mesa]

Well if you take AP seminar, you’re going to want to take AP research and receive the capstone diploma

Do some research on what both classes are like, and if you like how it sounds then I think you should take it

[covert cypress]

i cant really take both at once as ap seminar is only provided

[pearl mesa]

You take AP seminar then the next year you take AP research

[sullen hearth]

should i take ap chemistry my sophomore year or ap physics

i really like chemistry

but idk if i should take it my sophomore year

[worthy flare]

If you really like chemistry, you might be really motivated to do work but I really recommend taking honors chem before, AP chem is a pretty hard class

[sullen hearth]

i’m taking it right now

it’s pretty easy imo

[worthy flare]

Alright! I think you should look into it

[soft jacinth]

Should I self study calc bc while in precalc. I consider myself extremely strong in math, im a junior

[cinder gorge]

No no

Never self-study something that isn't on the state or national standards

Something important like calculus bc should be guided by a educated instuctor. I would recommend a summer class or doing two math classes at the same time.

Or apply to virtual school

[worthy flare]

Alright, what’s your current classes if you don’t mind me asking?

[winged lagoon]

Alr let me check rq give me a sec

[winged lagoon]

Math, ELA, World History, Physical Science, Visual Arts and P.E ofc

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[worthy flare]

You mind telling me how well on a scale of 1-5 you do in these classes?

[cinder gorge]

Calc is a easy ap exam

It could 100% be self studied

[winged lagoon]

Ok so for World history I would say 3-5. then for Physical science 5-5. Ela 5-5. Math 5-5. Visual Arts 5-5

[cinder gorge]

But

Not everyone is good at it

Calculus ib is hard bud

[worthy flare]

Don’t bother arguing with him dude

[cinder gorge]

It is easier than precalc

[cinder gorge]

I am in debate buddy

[winged lagoon]

He's an attention seeker or smth

[cinder gorge]

Im used to it

[worthy flare]

Go to #careers if u wanna see why

[cinder gorge]

oh ok

[cinder gorge]

??

[winged lagoon]

Go do what ur name says. GO TOUCH GRASS

[cinder gorge]

Imagine getting triggered by a fact 💀

[winged lagoon]

What fact?

[cinder gorge]

That IQ is a important indicator of academic ability

[winged lagoon]

🙄 Mind u I have almost straight A's

[worthy flare]

Okay, I definitely recommend moving to Honors Geometry and Honors Bio (whatever math/science class you can promote to). If world history is a 3-5, I will probably stay at the academic level, just to be safe. Last thing we want is to get burnt out.

Elective-wise, you should choose something that relates to comp sci, like robotics or a coding class to see what the field is like

[winged lagoon]

I've tried coding but it just wasn't as fun tbh we used scratch

[worthy flare]

Freshman year is about branching out, so try and find something you are interested in

[cinder gorge]

Why did you reply to me?

[worthy flare]

Block coding is super different than regular coding

Regular coding like python or Java is like learning a new language

[winged lagoon]

Ohh okay I've never done that b4

[worthy flare]

But if that wasn’t fun, then you should try a business course

[winged lagoon]

I mean i did but it was interesting

[winged lagoon]

once we did coding like I think it was Java it was funnn but scratch wasn't at all

[worthy flare]

Yeah, scratch gives you the idea of what coding is like, but real coding is very different

It’s like a dumbed down version of code

[winged lagoon]

I might try it out but idk what course to pick for that

[worthy flare]

I think this would be an instance of self study if you school does t offer any coding courses or AP comp sci principals/A

[winged lagoon]

brb ima go get me some grapes

[winged lagoon]

Ima check my hs if they have coding courses give me a sec

[worthy flare]

U found anything?

[winged lagoon]

Yes! I found AP comp sci princiapls

[worthy flare]

Amazing! That’s one of the easier AP’s so that’s a definite yes

[winged lagoon]

what's an AP?

[worthy flare]

Advanced Placement- it’s basically a college class

Not many schools offer AP credit for comp sci principles so I, not sure if you want to take the AP exam

[winged lagoon]

Sorry for asking so many questions but what is AP credit?

[worthy flare]

Nah you’re fine, AP credit is credit you can use towards college. Pretty much college credit. So that means you can skip some college classes with AP credit, But only if you pass the exam with a 4-5 (some colleges use 3). The exam is graded on a scale of 1-5?

[winged lagoon]

Ohh okay! now it makes more sense why u were asking me if my classes were 1-5

[worthy flare]

Oh, I just did that so you don’t have to dox your grade lol

[winged lagoon]

oh ok lol I honestly don't mind lol

[worthy flare]

But that’s how the AP exam is graded, not on a letter grade system

[winged lagoon]

oh okay so 5 is a 4 is b 3 is c and so on

[worthy flare]

Kinda, here I’ll share a pdf of an approximate of grades in AP exam

[winged lagoon]

alr

[worthy flare]

It’s not 100% accurate but it gives an example

[winged lagoon]

So basically what i just said

[worthy flare]

Yeah kinda lol

[soft jacinth]

Im good

[cinder gorge]

Ok

Buddy

[cinder gorge]

Thats good

[soft jacinth]

Ok buddy

[cinder gorge]

It is a very important indicator

IQ helps a lot in nearly everything

W;'['

[dim stump]

i wouldn't say so; anyone with average intelligence can do most things just as well as someone with a higher IQ even with just a little more effort

[cinder gorge]

“A little more effort”

no

[dim stump]

"IQ helps a lot"

[cinder gorge]

A whole lot more effort

[dim stump]

how so?

[cinder gorge]

some people study for 0 minutes

And score higher than those who study for like 10 hours

[dim stump]

and then they never learn how to study. it pays off in the very short term but it'll for sure be a detriment later on

sure, getting a 100 on a geometry test is nice. but what about studying organic chem?

[cinder gorge]

It illustrates a difference between abilities

[dim stump]

if you put a motivated average person in a room and a lazy person who has an IQ of say, 130, i can assure you the average person will do more.

IQ marginally helps, yes, but it's not one of the huge main factors.

^ emphasis on marginally

[cinder gorge]

no they will not

[dim stump]

yes they will.

personal experience

[cinder gorge]

The 130 iq person’s intuition will already be more accurate

[cinder gorge]

i have the opposite experience

[dim stump]

???

and again, IQ is also solely a factor of even non-quantifiable intelligence. there are many other areas where a more "average" person can do more

hikaru nakamura has an average IQ, but he would smoke bill gates in a game of chess.

[cinder gorge]

he doesn’t do anything but play chess

[dim stump]

and how did he get good at it?

[cinder gorge]

Some people purposefully do badly on IQ tests to try to prove a point

[dim stump]

not from pure intuition

[cinder gorge]

Like Feynman

[dim stump]

okay, put feynman in a public speaking contest with an "intellectually" average public speaker today

again, everyone has their niches

it's their part to capitalize on what they're good at, and improve on their weaknesses

IQ helps but working harder triumphs it practically every time

[cinder gorge]

Because the average guy practices way more

And richard feynman is very good at public speaking

[dim stump]

put him in an OR then. see who can do a thoracotomy. practiced surgeons win again.

[cinder gorge]

surgeons are not idiots

[dim stump]

they're certainly not all geniuses

[cinder gorge]

They have both intelligence and hard work

[dim stump]

IQ is a baseless measure that's relative, anyway

[cinder gorge]

You are spreading rumours

IQ is supported and in every psychology course

It is very scientific

[dim stump]

when i say baseless i mean practically

work hard. and you'll do better

no need to dwell on a personal score

[cinder gorge]

Yes for most sports and maybe music but not for a lot of academic subjects

[dim stump]

even in academia, sure there's going to be some people who coast through it a bit easier but people who actually develop the drive to study will be almost guaranteed to go further

let's use my geometry example again. the kid who develops study skills will probably have a whole lot easier time studying differential geometry than the 130 IQ who barely even studied in HS

[cinder gorge]

people who have drive to study usually have higher iqs

[dim stump]

and i can tell you for sure no one can just grasp differential geometry from purely listening

not necessarily

[cinder gorge]

What kind of differential geometry

[dim stump]

i'm using it as an example

[cinder gorge]

some people with average iqs will never understand more complicated topics in math

[dim stump]

no one within the bottom 99.99% of the human population can just "whoops! i get it bc intuition"

[cinder gorge]

Multiple mathematicians have already said this

[pearl mesa]

Could you guys move out of this channel for this convo?

[dim stump]

ok but like

where

[cinder gorge]

some people slug away at a question for hours while a some people can solve it in a matter of minutes

[dim stump]

i'd rather not flood my DMs

[pearl mesa]

Dms, lounge chats

[cinder gorge]

#general

[oak plaza]

What is the original question that y’all are debating

[cinder gorge]

no

That is reversed

Hard work can get you far

Hard work and talent can get you anywhere

[oak plaza]

Talent only goes so far

[cinder gorge]

Hard work also only goes so far

[oak plaza]

You can’t be 100% naturally good at things

[cinder gorge]

You need both to succeed

[oak plaza]

Hard work allows you to extend your reach

[oak plaza]

No you don’t

[cinder gorge]

Of course it does

[oak plaza]

You don’t have to be naturally good at something to become good at it

[cinder gorge]

But intelligence and talent is very important at the higher level

[oak plaza]

I’m not super good at math

But I love math

[cinder gorge]

You have to have good competence level

[oak plaza]

And I’m trying to work hard to teach myself pre calc

[pearl mesa]

Still not related to course selection, pls move somewhere else guys. Dms, #general

[oak plaza]

That’s not talent that’s just being an average human

[oak plaza]

K

[cinder gorge]

No, the average human has a relatively low competence level

Please stop blatantly ignoring facts

The average person can never comprehend many concepts

What does this have to do with anything?

? You are not making even a bit of logical sense

[pearl mesa]

Different chat, please

[cinder gorge]

W

Woah what is going on

Everyone calm down

Grass stop

Wow says a idiot who has exactly 0 logical thought

Bruh

[cinder gorge]

?

He started it

Well

Dont continue it

[pearl mesa]

Both of you stop

You’re arguing over smth silly

[winged lagoon]

fr grass just starts beef with anyone bro

[pearl mesa]

Doesn’t matter who started it. Go argue in dms

Not here to flood the chat

[winged lagoon]

frr

[supple kayak]

What is blud yappin about 💀

[cinder gorge]

what a pointless argument, everyone was just trying to disprove the other person

why can't debates ever be more fruitful

[fallow crag]

He says to get good at things, you need hard work, AND talent. And the other dude was like "You just need hard work. Not everyone has talent"
For the record, I agree with Aryan. Not everyone has talent but can still be successful. Talent comes after hard work. And then it turned into a chat about competence. And then a roast war

[worthy flare]

that’s what I said bro

[worthy flare]

I still can’t believe he did this again in a different chat 😭

[full tinsel]

Yooo that's crazy

Anyways

Should I take AP Precalc before I take AP Calc AB and BC

[worthy flare]

I’d recommend just taking any time of pre calc before calc

[wide prairie]

what course should i select at this high school

https://www.forsyth.k12.ga.us/cms/lib/GA01000373/Centricity/Domain/4822/AAI CTAE Pathway Guide 11.18.21.pdf

[cinder gorge]

Yep

[worthy flare]

I’d personally chose aerospace engineering but what do you like

[cinder gorge]

I'd choose aerospace engineering, mechatronics, and possibly CS.

[worthy flare]

yesss

[winged lagoon]

frr 😭

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[violet dagger]

Unless if u hv strong foundation in precalc, no

[winter kite]

Wtf is AP precalc

Thats a thing now?

[cinder gorge]

AP precalc is just such a idiotic course

[wise forge]

AP Precalc is definitely odd but it makes sense since Precalculus is considered an Advanced Math

If you take a standard High School Pathway, at least in California, you still have 2 semesters before precalc in college lol

Math 4a (College Algebra) Math 4b Trigonometry Math 4c Pre Calculus Math 5a Mathematical Analysis I (Calc 1)

[cinder gorge]

that is so stupid

Like what?

[wise forge]

wdym

[cinder gorge]

why do you learn stuff so late

[wise forge]

Well we have the option to go accelerated and take calc bc by junior year as well

but standard pathway for high schoolers is to take up to geometry

and thats it

[cinder gorge]

But the course AP precalc is kinda dumb

Its just basics that you can learn by yourself or regular school

[wise forge]

Yeah

I believe college board offered pre-ap precalc before making it a full ap course

[cinder gorge]

Are they going to make a pre-chem and pre-physics too 😂

[wise forge]

but I think the point of it is to give high school juniors and seniors a chance to take AP math without having to take ap calc, meaning more money for collegeboard

[cinder gorge]

what about a pre-bio😂😂😂

[wise forge]

i think they have those

they have preap world

[cinder gorge]

bruuuuh

[wise forge]

no physics

thats essentially physics 1

AP Phys 1 is just intro alg based physics lol

literally not even called physics in college

[cinder gorge]

true

A lot of people take physics c instead

[wise forge]

yeah

the only pre req for C at my school is calc

but our teacher is so bad he has a 100% fail rate

[cinder gorge]

And that makes perfect sense

[cinder gorge]

💀

[wise forge]

he doesn'

[cinder gorge]

100% fail rate in his class?

he passes no one?

[wise forge]

he doesnt know physics so he plays videos for them and if they dont understand he tells them to figure it out

[wise forge]

Nooo the AP Test

last year his highest AP Test score was a 2

[cinder gorge]

what counts as a fail?

[cinder gorge]

bro

[wise forge]

2 or 1

[cinder gorge]

You can guess higher than that

💀

[wise forge]

💀

[cinder gorge]

ik a guy that just guessed and got like a 3

[wise forge]

Im not allowed to publish his AP Class on my schools website bc of how poorly kids do

[wise forge]

I guessed and got a 5 on AP WOrld

[cinder gorge]

Lol

[wise forge]

i didn't do a single page of reading in that class

my DBQ was on womens rights in the modern day so

pretty easy

[cinder gorge]

lol i guessed and got a 5 on ap calc exam💀

I researched a unit on google 5 minutes before my exam

[wise forge]

jesus

you need to help me in Calc 1 rn

bc i have a b- in that class 💀

and its not going up

[cinder gorge]

bro

I forgot how to do basic stuff already

i need revision 💀

[wise forge]

dont blame ya

[cinder gorge]

I did it by myself in sophomore year

Self study

[wise forge]

Im taking calc 1 n 2 and then taking the AP Test while workign with my AP BC teacher, but she says half of the integration methods im learning and shit we don't even use in BC

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

Bro pre-ap

Isn't that just honors?

[wise forge]

Yeah its Honors but in pre-ap CollegeBoard gets money.

[cinder gorge]

Huh

Pre-ap sounds better than honors

[cedar sparrow]

some schools even call it advanced

for me it used to be called pre-ap now its called advanced [subject]

[oak plaza]

My school has advanced but I don’t think it’s related to college board at all

[wise forge]

yeah

prob not

pre-ap is rare ish

my school has pre-ap english 2

bc you cant go to honors english 10 if you werent in honors english 9

so basically there is Remedial English 10 < English 10 < Pre-AP English 2 < Contemporary Issues in Education (HP) < Honors English 10 (HP)

so preap is worse than our CTE Pathway

[full tinsel]

Wth is Pre-AP

[cinder gorge]

money grab

[cedar sparrow]

not neccesarily

thats only in very few schools

for most it's called pre-ap or honors just means its a advanced version of the course

like chemistry honors/pre-ap or wth u wanna call it

like for me its not a college board earning money thats only aps

and I'd assume that for most schools so like

[cinder gorge]

Ap isn’t even much more advanced than regular chemistry

Its literally just general chem basics

U don’t even have organic chem in ap chem

[cedar sparrow]

ok it was jut a example its not a topic we need to dig deep into bud

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

In california

it was called honors

Now in florida

its advanced

[mint zodiac]

Pre-AP are classes a school may offer as an advanced alternative to a standard class, generally to underclassmen, to help build them up to the AP level.

For example, my high school offered Pre-AP Introduction to Chemistry & Physics and Pre-AP Biology, which then led into AP Environmental Science

[cinder gorge]

what do you like

what subjects

interest you at school

[worthy flare]

I’m not sure about other schools but some schools allow you to apply as undecided. And plus I’m pretty sure you can change your major

[cinder gorge]

psychology, finance and accounting are good

[cinder gorge]

Is taking Honors Pre Calculus as a senior look bad to colleges?

[odd kiln]

Depends on what you're doing?

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[cinder gorge]

It does buddy

[oak plaza]

Does it really look that bad?

Some people are just kind of set on track like that

Like I was set to take AB by senior year and I’ve been begging my school to allow me to skip a level of math

It’s been a battle

[cinder gorge]

Depends on what colleges your aiming for

What are you aiming for?

[azure tusk]

is this a list from easiest to ahrdest true

ap human geography, ap psychology, ap environmental science, ap calculus ab, ap statistics, ap biology, ap english language and composition, ap european history, ap united states history, ap chemistry, ap physics 1, ap calculus bc, ap physics 2, ap english literature and composition, ap physics c: mechanics, ap physics c: electricity and magnetism, ap macroeconomics, ap microeconomics, ap government and politics, ap world history, ap computer science principles, ap computer science a, ap studio art, ap music theory, ap art history, ap spanish language and culture, ap french language and culture, ap german language and culture, ap italian language and culture, ap latin, ap chinese language and culture, ap japanese language and culture

[odd kiln]

...

[worthy flare]

That’s for you to decide. AP physics could be easy for you but AP human geography could be hard. That’s an opinion

[azure tusk]

okay

what is apush

and awpsh

@worthy flare

[odd kiln]

French is very hard

[worthy flare]

APUSH is us history

I dont know what AWPSH is

[azure tusk]

what is apwh

[cinder gorge]

nah that list is bad

[worthy flare]

AP world history?

[azure tusk]

what would mean

[worthy flare]

?

[cinder gorge]

lol ap chinese will be a piece of cake for chinese students same goes for the other languages

it heavily depends

[azure tusk]

okay

what do you mean

@cinder gorge

[worthy flare]

Also, AP chem is one of the harder classes a lot of students say

[cinder gorge]

Its subjective

[cinder gorge]

ehh

Some people say bio is harder

[worthy flare]

sorry but I’ve never heard someone say AP bio is harder

[azure tusk]

is taking ap bio and ap chem in ninth a good idea

[cinder gorge]

?

Chem and physics is not that hard if you have strong foundation

[azure tusk]

is ap bio and ap chem in ninth grade a good idea

[cinder gorge]

Sure

[worthy flare]

Everything is not hard if you have a strong foundation

[cinder gorge]

they don’t require that much foundation

so bio and chem should be doable in 9th

[worthy flare]

Just be prepared for hours of studying and homework. Those are 2 very hard classes.

[cinder gorge]

subjective

a lot of people barely put in any work and still get 5s

[worthy flare]

Not the average student

[worthy flare]

We don’t know much of your academic background so it’s hard to say for sure

[cinder gorge]

How do you know they are a average student

[oak plaza]

Ap world history

[mint zodiac]

me in world fr

but then i put in sm work to apes and got a 3

[pure sapphire]

The thing is what science classes would you take after

I’ve heard ap chem in particular is quite difficult without much of a basis in chem

Additionally counselors kinda suck sometimes and say you have to take certain pre reqs before taking the ap of it

[tiny saffron]

Is anyone recruiting here to find a proofreader.

[pseudo echo]

i think it depends on the class at your school, for my school, the teachers schedule their years so that bio is taught as if students have no background, but chem is taught as if you have a full year of background
basically i think it depends on the teacher

[cinder gorge]

You can self study those subjects

[wild prairie]

How do I choose between AP mechanics and AP E&M

Like what criteria should I try choosing one on. I simply can't decide

[deft maple]

Do colleges care when you take your foreign languages classes. For example I took Spanish 1 last year and this year I plan to take none, but next year I take Spanish 2. Will colleges find this acceptable?

[full tinsel]

Can u only take one?

[pallid trellis]

My school unfortunately only offers mech

[full tinsel]

My school bundles E&M and Mechanics into one course

[pallid trellis]

Depends on the college

[deft maple]

I think they’re both one semester classes so I’m pretty sure you can take both. If you can’t though you can look into dual credit courses at a local community college

[full tinsel]

So one course two AP tests

[deft maple]

In general though

[full tinsel]

I'm sure they do but if it's a scheduling thing then prob not

Colleges liek ppl who do foreign languajes

[deft maple]

I was looking at colleges and they stated you must take 2 foreign languages sequentially, but I don’t if it they mean the years have to be sequential or the course has to be sequential

[pallid trellis]

Probably means the course

As in you can't do Spanish 1, fail, and then do Spanish 1 again the next year

[wild prairie]

It's not that. I'm an international student looking to just take the AP exams. Now I don't hv the time to self study for both of them and I hv to choose one. But I am not able to

[deft maple]

I don’t really know anything about international AP exams, sorry I couldn’t be any help

[wild prairie]

It's the same thing

The exams are the same

It's just that of our school doesn't offer, we can self study and go and give the test in another school

But what I wanted advice on is like which course should I take

[azure tusk]

should i take apush with ap human geo for solcial studies in ninth

[cinder gorge]

sure

[azure tusk]

@cinder gorge should i do it i am good at history

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[azure tusk]

k

[cinder gorge]

a good mindset is to think everything is very easy

[azure tusk]

k

[lone topaz]

guys

my school only offers aps during junior and senior year

i am shooting for the higher schools

and advice

on what to do

[pearl mesa]

Take advantage of the time that you can take AP classes

You’ll want to be taking the same or more then your peers

[cinder gorge]

do it by yourself

Self study aps in freshman and sophomore year

but yeah

Don’t stress too much

APs aren’t that important in admissions

[pearl mesa]

But you still want to make sure you show rigorous course load. Even tho you can’t take AP, that could mean honors, accelerated, whatever is offered

[lone topaz]

mhm

but lik

e

do colleges see that i could only take aps during junior and snr year and understand

or do they still expect me to take the required or expected amount

cuz like

6 aps a year is not sustainable

[oak plaza]

I think if you want you could add that as a part of the extra info in your common app

[pearl mesa]

Your counselor should mention it but you’ll also want to mention it in the additional info section. They’re not going to penalize you bc your school didn’t let you take AP’s

its a whole different way of thinking in maths

and you need a solid foundation for calculus

i haven't taken the course yet but from my friends in higher grades when I mentioned they said not to do in summer

cause its a TON of info in just 2 months

but u do u

[dim stump]

honestly you dont have to take an actual precalc class. just self-study ur algebra and trig until you're like. really good at it and you're set for calc 1/2 if you can grasp the relatively simple abstract concepts like limits. a bit of practice can get you a long way

unless your school requires it at a prerequisite

@cinder gorge can i do health in summer school for 8th

[cinder gorge]

idk?

just see what u can handle

[azure tusk]

ok

[craggy sky]

Going into software engineering. My school offers these for science: AP Bio, APES, physics, anatomy, and engineering science. Honors and regular versions of these courses exist. What science course should i take for next year? I’m a sophomore.

[worthy flare]

For software engineering specifically, I’d recommend AP Physics, Anatomy and engineering science. The rest could just be for fun or what not

[craggy sky]

We don’t have ap physics

Also i can only take one science course before graduating bc of how my school works

[craggy sky]

Should I just take honors physics or an ap class?

[oak plaza]

I’m in Ap seminar so I can tell you about it: it’s going to vary per school a lot: this is cause it’s basically your school’s English 2 with a bit of AP tacked on. The AP part is some vocab words you learn and 2 projects: independent and group. You’ll do a mock group project first semester and then 2nd semester you work on the group and independent and do a presentation in front of your teacher. This is part of your ap grade. You still have the test at the end of the year which is worth 45% along with the group project worth 20% and independent worth 35%

[oak plaza]

How do you take that many classes?????

I can only take 16 semesters a yea

[pearl mesa]

These are courses you want to take in your 9th grade year?

Or throughout high school?

[oblique copper]

I'm In 8th but I take algebra 2

[worthy flare]

Id say Honors Physics is pretty useful so I think you should take it.

[craggy sky]

Ok, I’ll look into it more then

[hearty quest]

Wow that's insane our school doesn't allow us to take AP courses in 9th grade

[low igloo]

ohhh

i heard that these projects can go towards ur ap exam grade

is that true

maybe

its 7 or 8 ap`s

it can be done

[pearl mesa]

Well it is probably

[oak plaza]

But like

My schedule only fits 16 semesters a year

[pearl mesa]

And that’s bad for college apps

[azure tusk]

ik

[oak plaza]

How is that many classes possible in a year

[oak plaza]

Here ^

Like how is 14 classes possible

I take 8 at onc

How the hell do you do 14

[azure tusk]

okay

[azure tusk]

maybe i will

and ik now the majoyrity of my extracurrilires

[oak plaza]

What school schedule is allowing this

[azure tusk]

alreday

my high school i think

[pearl mesa]

Doesn’t matter if you know them if you don’t have time to do them

[azure tusk]

someone bet me that i wont be brunt out till 10th grade

[azure tusk]

what you mean

i would still have 4 ap`s as the basic

bare minnium

[pearl mesa]

?

[azure tusk]

i would still have taken 4 ap`s in ninth for thr bare minnuiunm

[pearl mesa]

You have more than 4 AP’s on that list

[azure tusk]

if i take the bare miuunim it would still be 4 or 5 ap`s

at best

[pearl mesa]

Well bare minimum is 0

But like for your standards

If bare minimum 4-5 that’s fine

But 9 AP’s plus more classes

Is too much
