#

Hey pqq

#

What major are you looking for?

azure tusk
#

idk

#

cant choose

#

at best i chose chess

#

i am good at it

#

@cinder gorge

oak plaza
#

I’m still concerned that you have not contacted your school yet you plan to take all those classes some how

azure tusk
#

to talk about it

#

@oak plaza

#

goota wait

oak plaza
#

Don’t get your hopes up that you’ll be able to take all those classe

#

You’ll prolly only be able to take ap hug and maybe one other ap

azure tusk
#

no

#

there will let me

#

make a psical request't

oak plaza
#

How do you kno

#

Know

azure tusk
#

necuase i do

oak plaza
#

How

azure tusk
#

my friend is taking all ap`s he knows

#

lol

azure tusk
#

is taking 63.16% of all 38 ap`s reecomend

#

for context thats 24 out of 38 aps

#

is that okay

#

for high school

zealous raft
#

in all of highschool?

#

it might be pushing yourself too far but

#

if you think you can do it

#

then go for it

azure tusk
#

how many do juniors or seniors take

#

@zealous raft

#

@zealous raft

deft maple
#

@azure tusk that is going to take up a lot of electives especially 24 AP classes. If you want to reduce the amount of electives college courses take up I would look into dual enrollment courses at your local community college

#

@azure tusk also what do you want to major in? Take AP classes that will benefit towards your major or gen Ed in college. Go on the college’s website and see what AP courses they accept.

# azure tusk for context that`s 24 out of 38 ap`s

really i think you're pushing it really hard. it also really depends on what you're doing.

eight AP classes are foreign languages, and they're incredibly difficult if you are not fluent or proficient in the languages already.

then there's the four physics, chem, and bio. theres a lotttt of science. there will also by AP Anatomy next year, so there will actually be 39 APs

you can take 24 AP classes and fail 18 exams and it doesnt increase your chances at getting into many colleges

#

you really dont need that many science APs unless youre going specifically into a science field

#

and the history APs, especially Euro and APUSH, require an intimiate understanding of specific themes and events of a variety of periods for a specific area of the world

mint zodiac
#

science APs arent easier for everyone

#

I have performed the worst in science APs

#

my lowest exam score comes from APES

#

and im not taking the Bio exam because im not going to pass

cinder gorge
pearl mesa
mint zodiac
#

i wouldnt even say science APs are easu for most people

mint zodiac
#

i really dont care enough about bio to self study ~5 of the 8 units

pearl mesa
mint zodiac
#

im literally only in ap bio bc i dont want a trimester of vp arts with a bunch of freshmen

pure sapphire
#

Ima be fr no counselors in their right mind would let you take this

#

Also taking aps in the summer is kinda useless cuz firstly you are prolly do kinda bad on the ap test and also it just isn’t fun

#

Take aps related to your major

#

If you are undecided this literally just shows you are taking aps to take aps

fiery hatch
#

that’s why i’m taking ap bio

#

and ap lang

#

and other courses that count for a laude like Principals of biomedical sciences ( Alr passed that test 😎) and taking Human body systems and Anatomy and physiology

cinder gorge
fiery hatch
#

um

#

no it’s not

#

lmao

#

Ap exam isn’t free

cinder gorge
fiery hatch
#

um no

#

through college board it costs 98 dollars for a test

cinder gorge
fiery hatch
#

oh

#

lol

cinder gorge
#

Lol

fiery hatch
#

i thought u meant price

cinder gorge
#

no lol

fiery hatch
#

like they have to make money somehow

cinder gorge
#

It obv not free

fiery hatch
#

ya fr

cinder gorge
#

Or they’re gonna go bankrupt

fiery hatch
#

my ap euro exam i got a 4

#

😎

cinder gorge
#

Is euro hard?

fiery hatch
#

oh ya

#

it’s difficult

#

i just studied a lot

#

bc it encompasses all of Europe including every little thing that happens and you have to learn it for the test

cinder gorge
#

Or is it just memory

fiery hatch
#

ya i wrote a DBQ and 6 i believe LEQ

fiery hatch
#

and it helped

#

also after the ap exam we did trials for people in europe

#

that was my favorite part of ap euro

#

and also our class quote

#

which was “ what’s even haiti “

#

Do precalc first id say

#

Ap calc as a junior is still good

oak plaza
#

Are you unable to take stats as elective?

rugged ridge
#

You might be able to take Ap calc bc with Ap stat, in one year, that’s what my friends did

whole yarrow
#

If I want to major in computer science would I be better off taking ap macroeconomics or ap environmental science

fervent jasper
#

Whichever you think is more interesting

#

Neither are super compsci-y so it’s just a matter of interest

full tinsel
#

Yes

#

Rule of thumb for course selection is to first pertain to ur major

#

After that it's just a matter of interests

azure tusk
#

is this a good plan

deft maple
azure tusk
#

yes

deft maple
azure tusk
odd kiln
deft maple
# azure tusk no

Then no your list is not realistic at all. Most schools allow freshman to take APHG and maybe APCSP

#

Don’t stress too much, focus on extracurriculars to. Also do you play any sports?

deft maple
azure tusk
#

scoccer

#

chess

cinder gorge
#

Soccer is good

deft maple
#

Assuming from your AP course list you have a lot of time right?

cinder gorge
#

He doesnt

#

his school life takes up about

130% out of 100% of his life.

deft maple

#

I know

But

# azure tusk

i do ask in the nicest way possible tho why do u come back here every day to seek validation of ur outlandish freshman year schedule

Ap is still ap

just found out even floridians dont know abt us 😭😭😭

cinder gorge
#

Bruh

dim stump
#

is okay i was relevant once

#

anyway @azure tusk i highly would advise against at least rushing ur math bc like id like to say im decent at math and i still have to study for like 3hrs for my calc exam tmr*

#

you need a strong and i mean STRONG base in algebra

deft maple
#

Is it really that common for people to take algebra 2 freshman year? Like my school doesn’t allow that, but then again I’m in a public school

dim stump
soft jacinth
#

As an aspiring math god/major, should I self study AP Physics C mechanics and do a non ap intro physics class to prepare myself, or should I take AP Chem senior year. I feel like I would like Physics slightly more but it would be harder I’d imagine. What would you recommend

dim stump
#

nah it was public

#

it was (for whatever it counts) #1 middle school in the state

#

u could find it easily bc it still is

#

💀💀💀

#

actually i think its charter

#

idk tbh

#

everyone was a nerd

Florida school system sounds the best

#

eh its more or leas average

cinder gorge
deft maple
#

My middle school taught world history (6th), geography(7th), and state history(8th)

#

Bro, South Carolina education must be at the bottom

cinder gorge
#

States like west virginia, louisiana, arizona, and yes, south carolina is one of the worst.

#

And with Massachuesetts, Conneticut, and New Jersey being some of the best

dim stump
#

my cousins friend in southern california was allowed to take AP calc in 8th 😭

#

at his high school

#

it was like dual enrollment but middle to high

azure tusk
#

how good is tx

dim stump
#

its all basically school district

#

florida has some insane course things tho you can dual enroll in college from 6th grade iirc

#

although almost everyone starts in 9th if they even dual enroll at all

azure tusk

nice

what abou tx

Yes

#

I catch onto new ideas instantly almost all the time

And I actually am passionate about the subject, it motivates me

cinder gorge

#

Tbh,

cinder gorge
#

u should do physics c

soft jacinth
#

Im in precalc class rn, but I’m self studying Calc BC rn

#

Im a junior rn

cinder gorge
#

You said u catch concepts well correct?

#

Challenge urself then

#

take calc and physics this year

#

By yourself

soft jacinth
#

I love the idea, and I thought about it, but

#

This is my first year taking Honors and AP courses

#

Im doing 4 AP Classes and at least 5 tests, and 1 year of honors precalc

#

I don’t want to stress too much,

#

But I respect the idea

#

And I would totally do it

dim stump
#

should i take linear algebra or differential equations for my second semester junior year

oak plaza
#

Tho my school does alg 2 and then geometry

#

Not geometry and then alg 2

azure tusk
#

is this good

#

Math: Algebra 2 and Goemenrty
English: AP English Language and Composition
Science: AP Biology
History: AP Human Geography
Language: Spanish 3 Adv and Ap spainish
Electives: AP Psychology, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles

For the summer, you can take AP Pre-Calculus , AP Calculus BC AP Chem Apush and Ap spainish if i have time but mostly not ap spainish.It's important to consider your workload and time management skills to ensure a balanced and manageable schedule.

Can I handle the academic workload of this AP class? AP classes come with a greater workload than the average high school class. AP teachers not only cover more advanced material but also assign more reading, homework, and projects. If you participate in other school activities, such as extracurriculars or sports, the additional responsibility of AP courses may feel overwhelming. Not all AP classes are the same — some AP classes are easier, while other AP classes are more demanding. Ask your school’s AP teachers or your counselor what you can expect from each class and check the course curriculum. With this knowledge, you can make an informed decision and avoid burnout.

What are the AP teacher’s average scoring results? A high score on your AP exams can result in an impressive college application and even college credit. If there’s one factor that can boost your chances of getting a 5 on an exam, it’s a helpful teacher. For that reason, it’s important to know teachers’ average scoring results for their AP class exams. Go to your school’s administrative office and ask if you can see score reports for AP courses. If a teacher’s students consistently earn below-average scores on their exams, then you might consider skipping that class. A teacher who regularly leads their students to high scores, though, may instruct a course worth taking.

What score do I need to earn college credit for this AP class? Each college sets a different policy for awarding credit for AP classes. Check the AP credit policies at your prospective colleges. If you can earn general education credit for a humanities or science course, then consider taking the corresponding AP classes.
Do I have enough time to study? It’s important to make sure that you have enough time to study for each of your classes. Consider how much time you will need to devote to each class and how much time you will have available outside of school hours.

azure tusk
#

google agress with me

deft maple
# azure tusk it does

No way your being serious right now. Google doesn’t even know why classes you want to take as a FRESHMAN

#

Sure I can see your list if it’s AP classes throughout high school but freshman year is going to be impossible LITERALLY

#

Think about how many electives one AP course takes

#

2 right?

#

One class is about 2 hours a day

oak plaza
#

K so I looked at The website you sent me and I found that these classes require pre requisites

Ap Spanish lang
Ap English lang
Ap bio
Ap comp sci A
Ap comp sci prin

And also Ap psychology is only open to 12th graders

deft maple
#

How in the world are you going to take 8 AP courses that take up 16 electives in one school year

#

The amount of time that you would have to be staying in school will literally double

#

And that’s assuming you have all your credit necessary to graduate high school

#

And I know 100% you don’t have all the credits to graduate high school as an 8th grader

azure tusk
#

?

deft maple
azure tusk
#

is

#

isn`t an ap class just 1 elective

deft maple
azure tusk
#

what the

deft maple
#

AP classes go more in depth

oak plaza
#

An elective class is a class you choose

#

Many classes are mandatory

deft maple
#

So that means your AP classes are going to be all year

#

AP classes give you two high school credits though if you pass, but college credit is based on your exam score

oak plaza
#

Like last year m schedule was

English 1
Bio
Alg 2
Health/P.E
Theology
AP human geography
German 1
Freshmen success (half a semester)

And then I got to choose one semester long elective from a catalogue of courses (I chose CAD)

deft maple
#

My freshman schedule is

#

English 2

#

Geometry 1

#

Biology 1

#

AP Human Geography (2 semester long class)

#

PE

#

Orchestra (2 semester long class)

oak plaza
#

APHG goes hard

deft maple
oak plaza
#

Here, these are your credit requirements @azure tusk

oak plaza
# deft maple What is freshmen success and CAD?

Freshmen success basically teaches you how to deal with being a freshmen at a new school and like adulting stuff (it was required) (also rlly dumb cause they had me taking it 2nd semester)

And CAD is a 3D modeling class, we use fusion 360. Rlly helpful for engineering things and I get to use it to 3d print stuff great class 8/10

You could also take computers and tech which is the most useless class ever it teaches you how to use the Microsoft apps like word and excel, but it’s a pre requisite to ap com sci prin/A

@dull eagle Yes, chess is recognized as a sport by the International Olympic Committee12. While it is not an "Olympic Sport" that would merit inclusion in the Games, it is an acknowledgement of the sport-like properties inherent in chess1. The International Chess Federation serves as the governing body of the sport of chess, and it regulates all international chess competitions2.

#

someone pls reply today i will probably go insane

#

also i will narrow down the clubs to the ones I like, which currently are speech and debate, robotics - am learning java for it 🙂 , math club (will start preparing middle schoolers for competitions next year, was my idea), fbla maybe, and will start a club next year

oak plaza
#

Looks good

#

Have you already done alg 1 alg 2 and geometry?

#

If you choose to self study another ap course I might suggest human geography or psychology

#

Those have very easy to understand concepts and are largely vocab based

cobalt grail
#

that depends on what your school has to offer, but depending on how you do in honors bio, you could try ap bio since you'll have a baseline- or you can try other sciences

#

definitely take ap world

ivory lodge
cobalt grail
#

i think you should do honors chem then. i did the same thing for my sophomore year- it'll come useful later

static acorn
#

honors chem seems cool but ap bio too lol

zealous raft
#

can someone explain honors to me?

#

my school doesn’t have it

#

is it just harder?

#

ahh

#

so would you consider like

#

if i was in ‘accel’ classes in middle school

#

that’s kinda the same thing

#

accel was js you had the class that the ppl a grade above u had bc ur district test scores were high

#

dang i kinda wish my school had honors

do you pick to be in honors for some of them or are you just placed there bc of grades the pervious year?

#

except a whole bunch of people get into top 20 colleges

its not like socially competitive but

zealous raft

and someone was valedictorian and they had like 2 ap classes or sum shi

#

zealous raft
#

novia

zealous raft
#

last year we learned so much in spanish but this new teacher doesn’t make us learn a lot

#

we don’t even do tests

#

only quizzes

#

and the final exam

dim stump
#

thats what the (i think) college algebra class at my school takes

#

its like 25 percent quizzes 25 percent homework 25 percent classwork and 25 percent final i think

#

and their teacher is so nice too like she drops the lowest quiz grade

zealous raft
#

our teacher did that last year

#

she was the best

#

current grades

dim stump
#

104

#

wtf

zealous raft
#

that A- will go up i swear

dim stump

"The Radical Republicans have advocated for, and may I say, quite fairly, a stringent approach for re-admission. These suggested policies are merely a precaution to preserve the fragile stability in our nation, yet Johnson shuts them down with not a thought towards them." - a pissed off 13 year old

zealous raft
#

HRLP

#

i hate teachers that make u memorize a bunch

#

LIKE NO MR IM NOT GONNA MEMORIZE FHE OUTCOME OF EVERY CIVIL WAR BATTLE

dim stump
#

thats why i suck at history classes

#

with like STEM i can logic it out

#

which is probably why math and science comes easy

#

knowing a few rules

zealous raft
#

honestly i only noticed that i liked history because of watching hamilton 💀

dim stump
#

uh the most historical thing i watches

#

#

ni hao kai lan

zealous raft

dim stump

zealous raft
#

i’ve only done 2 units of my bio class but it’s easy to me

dim stump
zealous raft
