course-selection

[austere tulip]

You can do 2 without 1

2 is easier

[lone lion]

if u take honors chem

[final helm]

My school doesn’t allow it

[austere tulip]

I mean there are some kinematics and forces concepts but they’re relearnable

[final helm]

Cuz 2 builds off of 1

[austere tulip]

Oh my school does them both in the same year

[lone lion]

they teach all of I in a semester tho 😭

[austere tulip]

Oh same here

[lone lion]

thats crazy asf

[austere tulip]

Yeah so it will be fast paced

I think

Always look over the formulas

[final helm]

Same here

[austere tulip]

The equation sheet should only be a last resort

[final helm]

So I have an option to take physics 2 but I chose not to

Cuz it’s not needed for physics C

[austere tulip]

Idk but at my school people who do ap physics 1 and 2 do better than those who did only ap physics 1 for ap physics C

Because sem 2 of ap physics c is e and m

[final helm]

Hmm I guess so

[austere tulip]

And you get inteoduced to that in 2

[final helm]

But physics C is calculus based

Physics 1 and 2 are algebra

[austere tulip]

Yeah

[lone lion]

oh u get that on the ap test?

[austere tulip]

Yeah

The thing with physics problems is there’s sometimes some descriptions that just make no sense

And my brain is not imaginative

[lone lion]

ohh 💀

REAL

[austere tulip]

So i like diagrams

So the biggest thing is practice and studying

Don’t cram

Study every day

Even if it’s a little bit

Also i went into physics knowing basic kinematics

It helped a lot

So just be a bit early ig

And if you have a few days over the summer dive into the starting of physics

[lone lion]

alr

[austere tulip]

Otherwise you should probably be fine with the other classes

[lone lion]

eh knowing me I procrastinate wayy too much 😭

[quartz compass]

nah im planning ahead for highschool cuz harvard the goal

[lone lion]

if u do not have a nonprofit business that impacts the world u will not make it 🔥

jk

[quartz compass]

Ik im gonna do some sort of coding project or smth

[tidal glacier]

but what if I am doing Honors Bio in my freshman year, and we don't have any other course option for that year. Yes I am planning to do medicine (it may change of course) but If I take AP bio in my senior year I would not receive credit for that class again.

[violet dagger]

I think you would get credit

Because they’re 2 diff classes

[gloomy lotus]

do you guys think colleges would care if I take APCSP after APCSA purely for the gpa bump?

[tidal glacier]

I was looking at the school website and it said I wouldn't get credit for the same course twice no matter the level

[pearl mesa]

I don’t think they would.

I have plenty of friends taking both in that order

So I think you’ll be fine

[proven wigeon]

I'm hoping to go to college(2027) to study medicine and earn an MBBS, does anyone know what courses I could take to have a better understanding of the subject of medicine?
-Thanks in Advance

[austere tulip]

Freshman year honors bio is fine

[austere tulip]

Colleges won’t care about that

Though I feel if your school isn’t ranking

You could spend that time

In a better way

Taking an advanced topics course (if your school has that)

[austere tulip]

Huh

But they’re different courses

Honors

And AP

I recommend taking chem, bio, and physics at least once, and then ap bio cuz medicine

[final helm]

No

[wide lark]

So nice man

I am studying enviromental forensic science

[spice ember]

I'm trying to do something related to medicine, be a chemist was my first idea

[robust canopy]

major in chem or biochem, get PhD, then work for biotech company

[fleet bay]

hey everyone, im in 8th grade rn and im doing alg 1 and i heard that i could take a geo course in the summer. just wanted to know how it would help me in hs and college? like does it give me a boost when completeing courses? hope this makes sense lol 🙂

i hope this relates to this channel lol

[solid comet]

like honors geometry?

[solemn prawn]

it would help by freeing up more time for high school courses that can boost ur gpa

[cinder fog]

yes omg if u want to take harder math this is definetly the route you should take. you would then be taking alg 2 and then u can take pre calc and calc (ap if possible)

[dusk venture]

i took a credit by exam of geometry this summer

you might want to talk with your counselor though just in case

[high geode]

Guys is AP physics better or Ap chemistry better for someone that’s plans to do premed with a biomedical engineering degree??

[austere tulip]

Honestly try both

But physics

[snow shell]

Should I take AP Bio as a safety course if just in case I need to switch to pre-med?

[fleet bay]

do u mean hs cousler or middle school

thanksss everyone :))

[plain hemlock]

Is cit program worth it or should i do a ml/ai bootcamp instead over the summer

[plain hemlock]

No do chem

[sleek viper]

some computer science student ?

[fiery bane]

does your school let you? our school won't let us take both

only one or the other

[final helm]

Do it, the reason it’s good is because you can take advanced classes earlier in high school

[final helm]

AP chem but I would do both if I had the chance

[frigid vale]

i did it you can too

geo is the most insignificant course in the sat

by taking precal ur sophmore year ur preparing for the most tested subj (precal) for when u decide to take the test

[marsh patrol]

Hey guys iam in middle in my second year I have to more years for computer science What Book do you recommend iam in courses

[frigid vale]

what

[marsh patrol]

IAM IN MY SECONDARY YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL DO YOU RECOMMEND ANY BOOK FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE

Iam in linear algebra courses

AND OTHER COURSES

[frigid vale]

so youre a sophmore in algebra

i would reccomend taking a course for cs

theyre more interactive

[marsh patrol]

Iam taking

But any book for to learn when iam free in school

You know

[frigid vale]

idk then

[solemn hamlet]

Books aren't the most efficient way to learn cs

You should try reading on other topics

[marsh patrol]

Iam in courses in math for algebra linear

OR MATH BOOKS FOR CS

CALCULUS BOOKS

[solemn hamlet]

Hey if you need something that specific you could've probably googled it

Well, I'm not aware of any good calculus books, I'll let someone else help you with that!

[marsh patrol]

Thanks

[bitter jungle]

Hey guys I’m going to be entering 8th grade now,
And I’m slightly confused on like the extra classes stuff- but I plan on taking as many APs as I can in High School. Can I still take some kind of extra classes in the holidays to prepare myself (for hs), but that still affects high school in the long run? Like maybe if possible something that could find its way into my college application, or if not, just something that will rly help me in high school.

Im Still pretty young and def won’t be applying for colleges anytime soon but I’d like to get a head start

[solemn hamlet]

You could always do anything into your extracurriculars

[frigid vale]

take hs credits

[bitter jungle]

Wdym? Oh btw Im going to be switching schools now though and I have no idea what Extracurriculars my new school will have. Will that affect what I can do in the holidays?

[solemn hamlet]

No, extracurriculars aren't just the stuff your school has

[marsh patrol]

Guys In two years iam finishing high school is it enough if I have these much courses
13 courses
CODING(6)
MATH(1.LINEAR ALGEBRA 2.CALCULUS)
CS COURSES

[solemn hamlet]

You can do ECs that your school doesn't even know about

[bitter jungle]

What would be some examples?

Like any other normal EC’s?

[solemn hamlet]

A CS passion project, ideally something that is popular

[solemn hamlet]

Anything you do in your free time

Is an ec

[bitter jungle]

Oh alr

[solemn hamlet]

Ofc beside watching Netflix or going to the gym

[bitter jungle]

Yeah lol.
But what kind of thing can I do that will be applied to high school & / college applications?

[solemn hamlet]

Universities always care about everything beside from these 2, if it either is a major accomplishment, or takes up a good amount of your time, for example if you're obliged to do it or if you are doing it to pursue your passion or aspirations

[solemn hamlet]

Everything, like I said, coding popular projects, starting a business, publishing a book, a research paper, starting a club, etc

[bitter jungle]

Alright thank you!!🙏

[hot summit]

Their useless APS with barely any college credit

[gloomy lotus]

Yeah our school does for some reason

[gloomy lotus]

Not really the college credit I care about - I'm in the IB program already. I just have a free spot and wanted to take a "free" AP for a gpa boost

[frigid vale]

not useless if you wanna go into cs

[vital olive]

i'd go for it, but it depends on what other classes u have

[rotund stag]

I’m a sophomore deciding whether or not to AP physics 1 next yr

I’m gonna take AP Precalc along with two other aps

I’m also in marching band regular band science Olympiad and fbla

[wraith shard]

why not calc AB?

i think you learn the majority of precalc in AB anyway lol

[rotund stag]

Imma take Precalc next yr abbc junior yr and then dual enroll in 12th

I’m just wondering if I can succeed if I’m taking Precalc alongside AP physics

I want an A in the class and a 5

[violet heron]

I'm in a similar situation except I have a little bigger of a load- I want to take AP physics 1 with AP stats, AP precalc, AP span 4, and AP seminar

I'd prefer As in all and 5s in all if possible

But Idk if that's too much to take

Well it's either that or onlevel. There's no option for honors in my school

[sinful jolt]

In my school you can't get into AB or BC unless you take precalc or end honors al 2 with a 93+ or take the AP and placement exams

unless you meant take honors or base

i have a C+ in honors al 2 right now bro its so hard 😭

[cinder gorge]

how old r u?

[cinder gorge]

look at ur district's grad requiements

[vagrant solar]

does taking an ap online look bad?

as a junior i plan on taking 3 aps, 2 dual enrollment and 1 IB

[cinder gorge]

no

[vagrant solar]

does that look bad?

currently taking 3 aps

[cinder gorge]

look at my response

[vagrant solar]

okay thanks

just wondering

[final helm]

Sure, I would take more if I were u

[mint zodiac]

that's solid

you don't really need more

[vestal lance]

which AP classes do u prefer for sophomore year? Im currently freshman and take only one available AP for all freshman which is AP human geo

[rotund stag]

No I’m taking 1

[bitter jungle]

Turning 14 soon

[unborn vault]

Do you need tutoring?

[cinder gorge]

I study in a Cambridge school currently in 9th grade. We give the IGCSEs in 10th, AS Levels in 11th and A Levels in 12th. I want to pursue my college education from Yale. Is it necessary to give the SAT? If no, then will it increase my chances of getting in if I do?

[robust canopy]

yes

take it

or ACT

[grave dune]

AP world history is a definite.

if its taught for sophomores.

[normal ember]

AP CSP (if CS50 curriculum) or AP CSA if you're interested

But not a necessity

[final helm]

Take all the pre requisites that are needed for Ap classes u wanna take later. But I recommend at least taking an Ap math class, Ap science class, and Ap social studies class

[sinful jolt]

i think so tbh

[fickle osprey]

that is very incorrect. Calc AB assumes you already have the fundementals of trig mastered and there is not lesson nor time alloted to learn trig

[wraith shard]

Ah

Thanks for letting me know

[unborn vault]

I gotchu

I sent you a friend request

[vestal lance]

yeah, i heard my friends are taking it so ill take it too. I wouldnt apply for AP US history because itll be a waste of time

[vestal lance]

whats that? I dont believe i have it at my school

[vestal lance]

alright. I wanna aim for AP Physics as i progress through the years because in really interested in it other than bio and chem

[normal ember]

AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A

[final helm]

Ap computer science

[viral hinge]

if i take honors physics next year for freshman year can i take AP physics c in my senior year and still know whats going on

[unborn vault]

No

[final helm]

How much of a gap should there be between ap physics 1 and c?

Like if I took ap physics 1 sophomore year and took physics c senior year

[worthy flare]

As much as you can handle my bro

[vestal lance]

oh thats an interesting class

[fair agate]

is AP CSP worth it?

my school doesnt offer CSA

[vestal lance]

how do I find out what i want to major in?

[pseudo echo]

this class is so easy i love

[vestal lance]

none of my degrees will matter because i wanna join the navy i think

[coarse sigil]

Thank you for your future service

[fair agate]

oh fr

what have yall learned so far

[vestal lance]

yeah i wanna join the US Naval academy in anapolis

maryland

[coarse sigil]

🫡

[vestal lance]

i wanna be like maverick tom cruise

flying aircrafts

like F-15s and F-18s

and other commissioned aircrafts

[rotund stag]

Can I get an internship in physics w the knowledge I learn in AP physics 1

That’s the main reason y I’m taking next yr

[pseudo echo]

nothing!

[fair agate]

oh

haha

[pseudo echo]

jk some basic stuff abt the internet and a little coding

[fair agate]

is it useful?

would you recommend taking it?

[pseudo echo]

not really

if u actually care abt comp sci idk

it’s def a blow off class

[fair agate]

wdym

[pseudo echo]

unless ur like a freshman

like it’s really easy

[fair agate]

oh gotchu

[pseudo echo]

u don’t need to try

[fair agate]

yea the problem is my school only offers AP CSP

and not CSA

[pseudo echo]

take cps and self study for csa?

[vestal lance]

what is computer science? What are the concepts?

what do i learn there?

[worthy flare]

Long story short, Computer science is just code. There are different scripts of coding, for example, in AP CSA, you learn Java

[vestal lance]

nice… ive only gotten exposed to coding during online school in the pandemic in 6th grade

for 1 semester i was in online school

and 2nd semester i went back into traditional

[normal ember]

Only if your school uses CS50 and NOT code.org

If it's code.org then tbh don't bother

[fair agate]

whats the difference

isnt code.org just block coding

[normal ember]

CS50 is more advanced and you actually learn a lot more about how to code and what everything means

And it's in C

Code.org one just tells you like what a variable is and basic shit like that

And nothing further

(Allegedly)

CS50 is by Harvard as well

Really great introductory course imo

You go through C and learn the syntax, loops, algorithms, arrays, memory

Then python

And then idk

But code.org according to the class from last year (before we got cs50]

Doesn't prepare you for the exam at all

And doesn't really teach you how to code

[fair agate]

oh damn

thanks for the info

im currently working through 100 days of code

the python course

[normal ember]

Nice man

Do good ik you can

[fair agate]

thx bro haha

[normal ember]

Always

[vague topaz]

hey everyone, basically to fo a geo sumemr couse you need a 93 and above for three trimesters i got a 92 on my first trimester but as of rn my secod trisenter grades are gojgn good. if i get rlly good grades second trimester do you think that i caould email the principal and ask if it would still be okay for me to do a geo course over the summer? thanlss

[coarse sigil]

Yes, you should definetly ask. It's a 50/50 shot. Moreover, you should maintain your second and third-trimester grades

[vague topaz]

thank you so mcuh!

[vagrant solar]

does taking aps and dual enrollment online look bad?

[cinder gorge]

no

[coarse sigil]

do you earn credit for taking ap classes online?

[plain hemlock]

Yes

[coarse sigil]

but its more expensive?

[plain hemlock]

Probably

[pearl mesa]

Wdym by credit tho?

You take the AP exam and that’s how you get credit

You technically don’t even need to take a class

You can just self study for the exam and take it

[vestal lance]

is physics good? Im really interested but its way out of my league as a freshman

there are three science classes I have; biology, chem, and physics

i dont know if im interested in AP bio AP chem or AP physics

im leaning more into AP phys

[pearl mesa]

AP Bio and Chem are classes that imo are gonna be harder without any experience

Physics just needed some basic algebra skills, like how to solve for x, and you should be fine if you have a decent teacher

[cinder gorge]

yes

[cinder gorge]

should be free

[solemn hamlet]

you earn credit for the exam, and you get a gpa boost if you take the course in school

[glad rampart]

Can SomeOne help me with this?

[verbal jackal]

water spill
loose cables
boxes blocking exit

idk about the other one tho

Ruh roh, any recommendations for the online classes?

[glossy raft]

hi Does anyone know any organizations that provide scholarships to European unis and colleges for international students?

[remote prairie]

Anyone please tell me what should I pick bachelor in finance or BBA

[vestal field]

Hey everyone! I'm new here class of 2026. I currently have to choose my aps for gr 11 but I'm not sure about my career choices yet (med or software engineer) so I would like to take yalls advice on the following :

-what ap combos should I go for if I want to take both ap bio and CSP throughout 2yrs

-is it adviceable to take ap Chem and bio at the same year or ap bio and ap physics c E&M?

-I woukd like to take Ib German as well to study abroad , is iyt worth it or pass?

-lastly, any advice on uni scholarship in Germany?

Ps:gr 11is my first year of taking ap so I have no idea what to expect

Any advice would be strongly appreciated

[boreal barn]

I have a similar problem… I’m also registering for 11th grade rn 😂

I’ve taken AP classes freshmen year and this year, but there are SO many options for next year. What I have planned right now is

• ap English language arts (AP lang)
  -Ap world
  -Ap calc ab
  -Ap bio
  And other classes but they aren’t AP

Someone please be honest, these are hard classes. Is it possible?

Or am I gonna be depressed?

I’m also taking Spanish 4 so..? Idk how hard that is

[chilly blade]

@boreal barn idk if it’s best for you to take more than 3 APs, for my school you literally can’t but idk about you. It’s hard to tell much so can you tell us what u think ur gonna major in?

At my school if you take AP bio you are required to take a study hall 😅 so idk how hard that would be

AP lang is definitely a useful class, particularly for the SATs

Hopefully that helps a little

[frigid vale]

if you take the ap exam, but not the class, you don't get the actually gpa boost, or do you?

[pearl mesa]

No

No GPA boost for exams

Only classes

If your school even does GPA boost for AP classes

[frigid vale]

well that sucks

[ocean veldt]

is this good enough for a upcoming junior year?

[frigid vale]

mine does

[pearl mesa]

Mine doesn’t 😃

[sturdy geode]

recommendations for a incoming freshman endorsement courses? im thinking cs

[plain hemlock]

Whats matpro tech woods

[plain hemlock]

Csp and do cs50 along side

Else u wanna learn actual coding do ap csa

[ocean veldt]

like a random woods class

[plain hemlock]

Oh lol

[sturdy geode]

👍

[tiny lily]

Similar to mine. Good

[tiny lily]

People take way more than 3 apps in a single year. So I wouldn't worry about that as long as you're good with time management

[ocean veldt]

what do you have

[final helm]

6 Ap

[ocean veldt]

what are they

[ocean veldt]

what ecs do you have

[tiny lily]

AP pre-calc, lang, world, physics, chem

[tiny lily]

What r yours?

[final helm]

This is from my 4 year plan, but ap calc ab, ap lang, apush, ap chem, ap stats, ap bio

[final helm]

As of rn, mock trial, science bowl, mathcounts, robotics, quiz bowl

[tiny lily]

Youre in 8th grade rn

[ocean veldt]

i honestly don't have anything good

[final helm]

Bro I said 4 year plan

[ocean veldt]

how are you in all of this

[tiny lily]

Ik. 6 aps in one year is crazy given if you have ecs

[final helm]

Mock trial ended

[tiny lily]

Cant be worse than mine

[final helm]

Uhhhh I’ll worry about that later

[tiny lily]

Good Luck lol

[ocean veldt]

should i take ap spanish

[tiny lily]

If you can pass

[final helm]

It’s one of the hardest ApS

[tiny lily]

Mostly natives take it

[final helm]

Yeah

I’m planning to go up to Spanish 4

Yo can u look my at my hs plan

[cloud mirage]

🤯

[ocean veldt]

bor how are you middle school when you are class of 2028

bro

you in high shchool

[final helm]

That’s like normal

[final helm]

No I’m not

[ocean veldt]

bro whtat

what

[final helm]

I’m in 8th

[ocean veldt]

how the hell do you have all of this

[final helm]

Wdym

Like extra curriculars?

It doesn’t matter I can’t put them on my college app anyway

[cloud mirage]

Bro theres no 4th spanish what is bro yapping about

[final helm]

Yes there’s is

[tiny lily]

tehre is

[final helm]

It goes up to Spanish 5 which is so

[fallen fulcrum]

@ocean veldt class of 2027 are freshman

[cloud mirage]

Well not in texas

[final helm]

What r u on

[final helm]

Probably just ur school

[cloud mirage]

Only 2 for me

[tiny lily]

You can if the same clubs are in hs

[final helm]

It’s extremely common to go up to 4

[final helm]

I’m dropping mock trial and math counts

[tiny lily]

Thats because its Texas

lol

[ocean veldt]

yes i know that

[sturdy geode]

yo i do scibowl too

[final helm]

And I’m class of 2028

Which means I’m in 8th

[ocean veldt]

yes im not dumb

[final helm]

Nice did u make nationals

[cloud mirage]

Why would take Spanish for the 4th year? Should take a different language course then right?

[chilly blade]

@tiny lily true but im pretty sure my school doesn’t let u take more than 3 APs a year

[tiny lily]

Thats stupid

[chilly blade]

Colleges like taking 1 language for full 4 years

[tiny lily]

Oh i get it

[final helm]

Why would u just start fresh

[tiny lily]

they wnat fundings

[chilly blade]

lol

[sturdy geode]

nah this is my 2nd yr

did u?

[final helm]

If ur already taken 3 classes of the same language

[final helm]

Yeah on my first year

[sturdy geode]

dang nice

[final helm]

Which was last year

[sturdy geode]

did y’all do well in nationals

[final helm]

No

[sturdy geode]

dang

[final helm]

[chilly blade]

@tiny lily based on the # of credits u need and required classes in my school I’m pretty sure 3 APs is the max

[final helm]

Hey we were in only 7th going against 8th graders

[fallen fulcrum]

@final helm If you're invested in Spanish, don't stop

[sturdy geode]

true

nationals is tuff

my brother got 2nd Nationals

in js

hs

[tiny lily]

That shouldnt be a problem lol. Its prob because stuydents in your hs will do bad in em and they will get less fudnings

[final helm]

I’m not invested but I’ll do it till 4

Cuz why not

[final helm]

Nice

[sturdy geode]

i only going until 2

[tiny lily]

Only hARAVRD AND pRINCETON REQUIRE IT

[cloud mirage]

Does you're Highschool have more than 3 language courses?

[sturdy geode]

id rather keep my courses open for other classes

[final helm]

I have extra space on my schedule

[final helm]

It has Spanish and German

[cloud mirage]

That's all?

[sturdy geode]

they require?

[final helm]

No I can take 16 APs and fit 4 Spanish

I have too much space

[sturdy geode]

damn

i have a good amount of space

[final helm]

Yes my school is weird

[sturdy geode]

don’t think it’s that many tho

[tiny lily]

Preferred

[sturdy geode]

dang

[cloud mirage]

[final helm]

But like if u have 3 it’s not the end of the world

[sturdy geode]

my school only offers Spanish 💀

[final helm]

Bru

German is so pointless just take Spanish

[cloud mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/out-ghost-disappear-bye-gif-12426892

[tiny lily]

ik

[final helm]

Like why does my school offer it

[sturdy geode]

the hs I’m going to offers a ton tho

[tiny lily]

My school used to offer

[final helm]

I have to do a a 30 question tests with a 8 question test and do 200 problems by Friday

[tiny lily]

EZ

sure why not

i am

[sturdy geode]

just that im not too enthused to do it

and idk if I’ll do well in the courses

AP bio, AP chem, AP physics, atleast IMO because they're all requirements and pre-med. By taking them now, you have an idea of what youre going to take in college. I wouldn't opt out of them in college with the AP exam because the college courses are somehow much more rigorous

[distant inlet]

i mean which of the courses shud i take in high school

[tiny lily]

Why?

[unborn vault]

Bio, chem, physics, anatomy

[frigid vale]

I feel like anatomy would be a better course over genetics simply because genetics is covered in biology and anatomy is more crucial to know for most doctor jobs

[frigid vale]

what dudegod or i said

[frigid vale]

you need bio, chem, physics, psych, etc

idk why but its important

[tiny lily]

interesting

[distant inlet]

okay thanks!

[tiny lily]

I dont think you need to take ohysics in hs even if youre going pre med

you will likely need to take it again in college?

[rustic plaza]

I just got my Freshman scheduling today, I've barely filled it out but I want to take a language in all four years or my first two depending on what I feel is best for me. I have no idea on what language I should take and my school has Spanish, French, Japanese, Arabic, Mandarin, and German. I want to pursue a career in the military and cyber security does anyone have any suggestions on what language I should take?

[tiny lily]

Mongolian

[unborn vault]

Spanish

[cloud mirage]

Remember, to be cool & noticed in Highschool, take ALL AP courses🗿

[tiny lily]

Main character type charecteristics

[frigid vale]

Or chill in your freshman year 😎

[distant inlet]

unless u cant get A's (or at least B's) in them

[cinder gorge]

whats AP courses

[hybrid oyster]

Advanced placement

[night basin]

But freshmen year is the easiest, something wouldn't hurt from online, Right??

[frigid vale]

wdym from online

[night basin]

Online courses

There are hard to find but not impossible

[cinder gorge]

whats that?

[hybrid oyster]

College level classes

[frigid vale]

It's not considered the easiest imo

[night basin]

I know 😪

[frigid vale]

Its a transition from middle school to highschool and your workload essentially doubles. That's why a lot of people don't take all advanced classes freshman year.

[rotund stag]

I’m sophomore who wants to take AP physics I have completed algebra 2 so I can take it but some have said my mathematical reasoning skills wouldn’t be enough in the course

I currently have a 91 in algebra 2/geo b

[boreal barn]

Ty for your opinions! I think I’ll go into the medical field but I’m not totally sure what I will do.

[chilly blade]

@boreal barn I just found out that my school technically doesn’t have a cap, it’s just viable based on the schedule

So honestly I’ve helped you all I can

Hope it helped

[cinder gorge]

theres only 1 ap in my school in 9th grade

in my school

i want to atleast take 15

should i take online APs?

[rotund stag]

If u rlly want to

I’m doing one rn and it a decent bit of work

What AP is it?

[cinder gorge]

What courses should i get over With?

am gonna pick my courses in 2-3 weeks

[ashen zodiac]

Should i take geometry over the summer so I can take algebra 2 in 9th?

[rotund stag]

Yes definitely

I did that

[rotund stag]

What grade ru in

[cinder gorge]

8

[ashen zodiac]

Ur lucky I don't get to pick mine until mid March early April

[void tulip]

Im currently in honors alg2 as a freshman and the workload/class is super easy. I wanted to take geometry and precalc simultaneously next year, but my (planned) schedule doesn’t allow it. Is it possible/feasible to take both geometry and precalc as johns hopkins cty (center for talanted youth) over the next 6 months, and move straight to calc a/b next year, as geo isn’t a prerequisite for precalc. I’m already accepted to take advanced-cty level courses, and all my current classes are easy enough that I feel comfortable taking math on the side, considering they only will take up ≈10h a week.

btw, at my school, 9th grade is alg2 and 10th is geo

[ashen zodiac]

That's odd usually geo is first

[rotund stag]

What classes r available to u and what do u want to take

[cinder gorge]

i just wanna get highschool done with

4 math, 4 Enlish , 1 gym , 2 science ,1 teach/busniss there are more i cant remeber

[void tulip]

I think they wanna keep the algebras together

i agree tho

[rotund stag]

I mean if u don’t rly have any interests or anything then don’t

[ashen zodiac]

That kinda makes sense but it's just weird

[cinder gorge]

i wanna be a dentist so math english and science

[cinder gorge]

human geo

[rotund stag]

I’m taking psych online rn

It’s light

[cinder gorge]

should i take more when im in 9th

[rotund stag]

Take 1-2

[cinder gorge]

yh ive heard its easy

[rotund stag]

Don’t overload

[cinder gorge]

ok ty

[rotund stag]

Gotchu

[cinder gorge]

I am an eighth grader going to be a freshman And I am wondering if I should take world geography accelerated over the summer o wait and take ap human geography in the school year

[fiery plank]

Hey I’m finna be a sophomore next year

I’m taking ap world history and wondering if I take ap chem if I need to take chemistry in collage?

[final helm]

Yes

[final helm]

Take ap chem if u wanna go into stem

[fiery plank]

I wanna major in music

[final helm]

Oh

[swift comet]

Okay so I'm going into ninth grade in March and i have to choose and applications stream in 9th. Its between Computer application, commercial applications and economics application

I rlly wanna do economics because it sounds so interesting but my mom wont let me bc my sister took it and it affected it her overall score during graduation

She scored like 94℅

According to my mom (she's a hs chem teacher) economics teachers are very strict with the way they grade your papers

So she wants me to pick computer applications

But i will die trying to code

What do i do

[robust carbon]

idk if you can, but you could self-study economic apps?

and if they're forcing you then

[swift comet]

Yeah that's the case

They have my whole future decided

Lmfao anyways, computer applications?

[robust carbon]

what bout it

[swift comet]

Should I choose it?

[robust carbon]

do you have any other choice

[swift comet]

Nah 💀

[robust carbon]

yea :p

[swift comet]

So computer applications it is💀

[robust carbon]

is computer applications just coding?

it might be like excel stuff and word stuff

[swift comet]

It's like 40 marks worth of theory and 60 marks worth of coding

[robust carbon]

oof

[swift comet]

Nah that was in late elementary to early middle school

[robust carbon]

ah

[swift comet]

Mhm

[robust carbon]

well hopefully you'll soften up to coding?

[swift comet]

Plus we have to do java😭 like it's so long for no reason????,😭

[swift comet]

I hope so too

[robust canopy]

@swift comet do what you like not what your mom likes

if you like CS at all mix it with Economics

[swift comet]

If I could I would

I need a parents signature and my mom will be mad if I take ea

I want to study Ea so bad though, but I have to go with ca

[distant inlet]

ig you could always self study ap economics (micro and/or macro) and take the ap exams

[robust canopy]

tell her how you will become rich off of it

then she will change her mind

[final junco]

yo im taking honors chemistry this year (soph) and im planning on taking ap chem next year. how hard would it be to get a 4, maybe 5

[robust canopy]

hard

just study

[swift comet]

I'm Not from the US, we don't have advanced classes here

[swift comet]

Bro i could do everything but she won't change her mind I'm sick of trying

I know she wants the best for me but come on man

[hybrid oyster]

Interesting, what math class did you take in 8th grade? As at my school you have to take geo in 8th

[boreal orchid]

I took 0 Aps in 9th grade this year and in 10tg grade I put AP World,AP Capstone and AP comp sci Prin. Is this good

[solemn hamlet]

good for what though?

[boreal orchid]

Just my ap are those aps good

[vestal field]

@vestal field help pls?

[solemn hamlet]

that depends on what your school has

[coarse sigil]

If you're letting your mom stopping from what you want to do, thats not good

[swift comet]

Fuck man I just don't have the strength to argue with her, she's sacrificed too much for me

[coarse sigil]

never let your emotions get in the way

[solemn hamlet]

does it really matter that much is what i'd like you to think in that case

if you take eco or commercial applications, will you learn something that you can't otherwise?

will you care in two years whether you take a different class, or would you care more if you grew distant from your mother just because she wanted you to learn something that is almost an essential skill

[swift comet]

The latter actually, thanks for being rational I really appreciate you! ❤❤

[dull eagle]

are these good classes for sophomore year

-English 2 pre ap
-AP pre calc
-Chem pre ap
-AP world history
-AP cs principles
-AP stats

• Floral Design(art credit)

i’ll be done with all my elective reqs and lote

[tiny lily]

Yes execpt I wouldnt take APCSP. Its a useless class

[loud flax]

Are these classes good for freshman year?

• Honors Algebra 1.
• Honors Geometry.
• Honors English 1.
• Honors Biology.
• AP Human Geography.
• Lifetime Wellness (Required).
• Computer Science (Required).
• Introduction To Business And Marketing (Elective).

[rotund stag]

That’s good

Consider going to a higher math level

[loud flax]

Yeah I was supposed to get into my schools 8th grade algebra program but it was full so that’s why I’m taking 2 math classes, so that way in 10th I can take algebra 2, 11th I can take AP pre calc, and 12th I can take AP Calculus AB or BC.

[rotund stag]

Oh ok

That’s good then

[loud flax]

Ok

[rotund stag]

Can I take AP physics as a sophomore? I have a 91 alg 2 rn

[dull eagle]

[cinder gorge]

wym

u mean electroves?

electives

[final helm]

Well I’m doing speech, Spanish 2, engineering, business applications

[mellow stone]

Should I take APCSP or APCSA for my sophomore year because I am studying python this year?

[cinder gorge]

im in8th too

im taking pre algerbra

and 6 aps aswell

[wooden harbor]

Is AP Capstone worth it?

[vestal nimbus]

It depends on what you want to major in

It certainly looks good but the amount of work you’ll have to do isn’t worth it imo

[mellow stone]

Can someone tell what should I take

[vestal nimbus]

Principles will be more beginner friendly / focuses on a broad range of skills while A focused more on Java iirc

[vestal nimbus]

It depends what you value more, learning a variety of skills (on more a beginner level) or learn more in depth with A

[mellow stone]

Thanks

[languid ruin]

meow

[vestal nimbus]

…

You are EVERYWHERE

[languid ruin]

yes

lol

[vestal nimbus]

Lurkers are so scary

[languid ruin]

i occasionally pop in and say hi 😭😭 i wasnt supposed to be scary

[vestal nimbus]

You randomly respond to my messages out of nowhere
Isn’t that scary??

[languid ruin]

idk i didnt mean to i just wanna say hi 😭

[normal ember]

If you do end up taking AP CSP I would like to once again note my love for the CS50 curriculum and the bad reviews I have heard about the code.org one

[undone thicket]

how do dual enrollment classes help you in high school?

[undone thicket]

sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this question

[normal ember]

More about that here ^

[normal ember]

They give you both high school and college credit and you can earn an AA degree during high school

[undone thicket]

ok thank you. Would you say they’re worth it?

[normal ember]

They're also college level courses ofc so it's kinda like taking ap classes but with an actual college

[normal ember]

Can't comment much on that except for what I've heard online

Some people say it's great because you get to experience actual college courses and get credit for it

Others say that AP is preferable because universities would like to teach you the actual college courses the way that they want, not the way some other college does

But I'd say go for it

[undone thicket]

ok my high school doesn’t offer AP classes so it’ll basically just be the same?

[undone thicket]

ok thank you

[normal ember]

Not the same
