some colleges dont weight them in their internal calculations afaik

short burrow
#

my hs doesnt weight honors

#

just aps

stone hemlock
#

Ah ok I see, thank you very much !!

#

Ima max out

short burrow
#

i guess it doesnt matter though because every school recalcs wgpa?

solemn hamlet
#

yeah, but that only matters for your class rank doesnt it, the colleges that weight honors will re calc your gpa

polar plaza
solemn hamlet
#

yeah

short burrow
#

oh ya ik

#

class rank.... 😭

stone hemlock
#

Wait if I do all honors English (1,2,3,4) but then end up doing AP lit and lang are they still considered separately or do they not

solemn hamlet
#

considered seperately?

#

like they consider all of your classes

stone hemlock
#

Yea

stone hemlock
solemn hamlet
stone hemlock
short burrow
#

does your school not count lit and lang as english ??

solemn hamlet
#

that's so dumb skull_cry

short burrow
#

here u can take them in place of an honors/cp eng course

polar plaza
#

^

#

ap lit and lang literally have english in the full name

short burrow
#

right

stone hemlock
solemn hamlet
#

unless ur talking about spanish lit and lang

short burrow
#

i dont understand

stone hemlock
polar plaza
#

you moved schools?

stone hemlock
polar plaza
#

wait what u finished 4 years of english?

stone hemlock
#

Yeah that’s the issue

solemn hamlet
#

yeah how'd you do that

short burrow
#

how ??

solemn hamlet

Is it worth taking AP Physics BC if it's only offered as self-study?

short burrow

#

I switched to online school to finish all my classes so I can take all AP and dual for junior and senior

polar plaza
stone hemlock
#

And then next year I’m going to in person school

polar plaza
#

you can ask for a copy of your transcript from your school to check for yourself

short burrow
#

if ur hs accepts the credits then they accept the credits

polar plaza
#

but yeah, deleting is something i wouldnt worry about

#

thats insnae

solemn hamlet
#

so they will be on your online school's transcript

AND EVERYONE WHO HELPED

solemn hamlet
stone hemlock
#

Wait can I ask another question

solemn hamlet
#

hmm one second

stone hemlock
#

Does it matter what classes u take per year or just in total

#

Like if freshman I did like not as rigorous classes

#

But then did much more rigorous stuff ig

solemn hamlet
#

in total

stone hemlock
#

I have to sneeze

polar plaza
#

total

stone hemlock
#

Also do they consider the time frame in which u completed courses

polar plaza
#

the classes you take closer to when you graduate are more important

solemn hamlet
stone hemlock
#

Like as a reference

polar plaza
#

they see when you took which classes

stone hemlock
#

Ok awesome 🙏

#

Thank you guys !!!!

solemn hamlet
#

well afaik if u take ap calc bc in freshman year they would still consider it similarly to you just having took it
But yeah they see it

#

ok maube not freshman year

stone hemlock
#

But good crazy

solemn hamlet
#

well they definetely wouldn't be mad if you only submit one math grade and its calc bc

gray shuttle
#

Should I take ap gov my senior year even if i'm trying to major in comp sci, how much better would that look in comparission to just take normal history and 2 other ap's

Im currently in precalc rn but instead of taking calculated AB next year I want to take BC. Im planning on studying through khan academy over the summer so im prepped for it. Should I do the AB course or BC course on khan academy

solemn hamlet

Huh?

unborn vault
solemn hamlet
# unborn vault BC cover AB pretty fast

Of course, they don't take the whole year for it, but like I would probably not worry about it being too quick to understand
(Unless like your teacher which teaches it doesn't cover it in depth or smth or expects you to know it in your school(

# unborn vault Im currently in precalc rn but instead of taking calculated AB next year I want ...

the difference from AB and BC is that BC adds 6 new lessons to existing lessons, which are

  • 6.11 integration by parts
  • 6.12 integration by partial fractions
  • 6.13 improper integrals
  • 7.5 euler's method
  • 7.9 logistic models
  • 8.13 arc lengths

as well as 2 extra units, which are

  • unit 9: parametric equation, polar coordinates, and vector-valued functions
  • unit 10: infinite sequences and series

other than the difference, the content from AB and BC are practically the same, so if you are up for a challenge, take bc

What are some productive and helpful things a high school freshman should do during the summer? I was thinking maybe volunteer, etc. Also, I am taking harder classes next year (2 APs, Chem honors, Alg 2 Honors), should I get prep books during the summer and use those to prepare for the classes beforehand?

clever carbon
#

No, sophomore year

coarse sigil
#

hm

#

what u taking rn

#

for science

clever carbon
#

Earth Science Honors, I already took Biology

coarse sigil
#

why not got to ap bio?

#

and take algebra 2 over the summer

clever carbon
coarse sigil
#

you'll jump directly into pre calc

coarse sigil
#

take that over the summer too

clever carbon
#

Yeah im good

#

😭

coarse sigil
#

awh

clever carbon
#

Maybe get a job, intern or something

#

Set up a youtube channel 🤷‍♂️

coarse sigil
#

how many kids around your age are going to do that?

#

the majority

#

so do something that separates you from the others

clever carbon
#

Actually its pretty common for kids to take a science or math over the summer here

coarse sigil
#

be the 1%

clever carbon
#

But I get your point

coarse sigil
#

more!

#

MORE science and math

clever carbon
#

Alr bro

#

😂

#

for some people that may be all aps

#

for others it may be like 2 or 3 an year

#

it depends on the school

heavy drum
#

Should I take ap bio in junior year before ap chem or the other way around

merry thicket
#

the uni im trying to go too requires only one physics and one chem so should I only take it grade 11 or does taking chem and physics help with my application if I took it grade 11 and 12

robust carbon
#

uhh, what classes were you planning on take instead of physics and chem in 12th?

#

bio?

snow thicket
#

Everyone, okay what are your opinion on ap research? For context, I need to still finish ap seminar this year but going into junior year I would be taking ap research. My school requires you take ap stats along side ap research . I would taking that mixed with cal AB, physics CM, and ap psychology. I feel like I’m over loaded with this schedule

#

It’s not finalized so I have time to change it

vestal crypt
#

if to get in a college i need to shape my life around it then its not worth it

#

personally im not doing AP Env Sci sophomore year because my school percussion ensemble is doing competition that year, and if i do percussion ensemble i cant do AP Env sci. it would be a massive mistake to do AP Env Sci that year and I guarantee I would regret it

snow thicket
#

His words not mine tho

bright plank
#

i need help

#

what AP's for 9th grade?

desert moat
#

is AP Psychology harder than people say it is? my teachers said that you have to know a lot of vocab, but is it like really difficult?

bright plank
#

nah from what i;ve heard its from the easier side

#

what grade are u

desert moat
#

8th

#

going into 9th next year

bright plank
#

same

desert moat
#

im only taking AP stats next year

#

because thats the only thing my high school offers

#

wbu

bright plank
#

dude u finished calc 2

#

how

desert moat
#

i only did math 3

#

and im skipping precalc

bright plank
#

it says on ur description

desert moat
#

because my school isnt offering precalc

bright plank
#

oh

desert moat
#

lol

bright plank
#

k

#

I'm in A2T

desert moat
#

what's that

bright plank
#

algebra 2 trignometry

desert moat
bright plank
#

dude

#

i saw ur description

#

ur iq is probably insanely high

desert moat
#

i just studied hard in between 7th and 8th grade

#

and my grades went up high

#

so i started taking higher classes

bright plank
#

ok

#

ima take Chem over summer to take AP bio next year

desert moat
bright plank
#

k

#

what about u

#

selected ur courses yet?

desert moat
#

yeah

#

im taking civics literacy

#

for SS

#

and AP stats for math

#

honors english 1

#

and honors bio and honors earth env science

#

but ill prob do those over summer

bright plank
#

k

#

sounds good

desert moat
#

and im taking biomedical science and french 1 as my other electives

bright plank
#

damn

#

i;m taking spanish 200 and probably AP Computer science principles

desert moat
bright plank
#

ah

desert moat
#

but i felt that i could do AP psychology and AP CSP in 10th grade

bright plank
#

ya

#

physch is decently easy

desert moat
#

and i wanted to take biomedical sciences very badly

bright plank
#

hmm

#

is there no prereq for it

desert moat
#

actually i think it is math 2

#

or algebra 2

bright plank
#

ok

robust carbon
#

alg 2 8th is crazy

bright plank
#

no

robust carbon
#

we're on geo rn in 8th

bright plank
#

some people jump even furhter

robust carbon
#

yea, but it is still crazy

desert moat
#

im doing math 3

rotund stag
desert moat
#

whatever that converts to

robust carbon
desert moat
#

geometry

#

oh

robust carbon
#

🫡

desert moat
#

because for us we have math 1=algebra 1, math 2= geometry, and math 3= algebra 2

#

and then precalculus

robust carbon
#

damn

desert moat
#

or statistics

#

also

#

is AP goverment very hard

robust carbon
#

ap gov?

#

hmm

robust carbon
#

are you good with essays?

desert moat
#

oh yeah i heard there was a lot of essays

desert moat
#

but i can write a decent essay

robust carbon
#

ok

#

you can probably learn how to write better essays as well, which is a nifty skill

desert moat
#

how do you apply to become an algebra helper in this server

robust carbon
#

are you taking anything along with it?

desert moat
#

i was wondering about it because i have a chance to change my classes

robust carbon
#

o

vital olive
vital olive
#

but for most people yes

vestal crypt
#

its like band

#

but percussion

vital olive
#

yeah it isn't the same for us

#

we have perc ens

#

i'm a percussionist

#

but it isn't a class

vestal crypt
#

It is better to take classes relevant to you than rando APs not relevant for the sake of maximum rigor

#

thats exactly how you prioritize a college over your own life

vital olive
#

most "classes relevant to you" suck in high school though

#

like my school offers an "entrepreneurship" elective

#

i want to go into business yes

#

but high school electives for the majority of high schools are not good

#

and don't teach you much about the actual...like... topic, at least from my experience

#

at least i can benefit from the ap by getting college credits, cutting down time i spend in college + getting a gpa boost

vestal crypt
#

well then its just school to school variant

robust carbon
#

bruh

keen yew

does anybody know if two ap's is enough for junior year
Im planning on taking ap calc bc and ap bio next year along with all other honors level courses

you just want to take something that will challenge you and interest you

assuming you are not a prodigy

leadership in what?

polar plaza

basically biology class with an emphasis on the human body and stuff

reef kestrel

#

and medicine

desert moat
#

ok

polar plaza
#

pretty similar to normal bio, but you go a bit deeper into the human side of the concepts you learn about

desert moat
#

i thought it was more towards like diseases and stuff

polar plaza
#

you do cover a lot of that too

desert moat
polar plaza
#

i did a class called biomedical science and technology for two years

#

as well as normal bio

desert moat
#

ok

polar plaza

i reviewed a lot of stuff from bio

#

like cells, cell division, protein synthesis

desert moat
#

yeah

polar plaza

but then got more in depth with how the processes work, and what happens when things go wrong, and the diseases involved

desert moat
#

ok

yall feeling my sophomore schedule?
AP Lang, Geo - H (1 Semester), Alg II-H (1 semester), Bio-H, Chem-H, Wellness (counts as 5.0 class, its college class), AP Spanish Language, and AP Pre-calc (might be cancelled, low enrollment, then i'd take comp sci principles)

ap lang sophmore year goes crazy

and ap spanish ??

keen yew

it needs alg 2?

fair warning i wouldnt take ap pre calc until you are very comfortable with algebra 2

reef kestrel

yeah

keen yew

oh i see

#

then u should be okay

reef kestrel

pre calc is mainly a bunch of alg2 review

keen yew

so true!

probably gonna get into comp sci principles but at least I can take BC senior year

reef kestrel

im taking it rn and i havent learned that much

except for matrixs

it has some new concepts but the same general ideas for alot of the topics

reef kestrel

magic orbit
#

apcsa over apcsp

#

apcsa you are actually learning how to code with java

while apcsp you learn some other stuff like how computers work and using pseudocodes to answer questions

top colleges wants you to take apcsa if you want to major in cs

but i dont think they accept apcsp

Do I need to take high school physics before taking AP physics C?

magic orbit
#

the only real prerequisite is taken or current taking in a calculus course

deft maple
magic orbit
#

it's still possible without previous physics knowledge

#

just you gotta study a bit harder imo

#

im currently taking ap physics 1

#

and planning to take ap physics C next year

so physics C would be a bit easier

#

it's just all of the physics i learned

#

plus the calculus part

deft maple
#

Thanks for the advice

magic orbit
#

yw lol

#

if u really dont want to take another physics course before physics C

there's always dual enrollment like

Yeah but idk if DE transfers out of state

check with ur counselors then

some states require USH students as a class to take before graduating

Kinda like 4 maths

If my school doesn’t offer AP chem class but offers DE chem instead, should I take DE chem and take the AP chem exam. I want to take the AP chem exam just in case I decide to go out of state

Im very conflicted because Im going into my sophomore year and I’m not sure if I should take Honors Chemistry or AP world. Ive been good at history this year, but I’ve heard AP world is a lot of reading which seems time consuming and I don’t have too much time in the day. And I’ve been getting good grades in bio this year but it’s pretty difficult for me so I’m worried about if I would struggle too much if I took Honors Chem. Any suggestions or tips?

alright im a pretty tight situation rn and i need help asap
Im doing my AS levels rn about to finish my exams and start my A levels in march, i had my computer science exams in october-november 2023 and i got my results in january in which i got an E so im gonna have to rewrite computer science in oct-nov of this year, now heres where im stuck. so for me i was in this board called ICSE back in 10th grade and in ICSE you have to choose what subjects you wanna take from a young age itself. Now i took computer sciences, science and math cuz eveyrone else took it and i just went with the crowd and took it and i never really found computer sciences interesting and since im in india i was kinda pressured into taking it. my parents kept saying youre just learning the basics of it rn thats why youre not finding it interesting but im in 11th now and i still find not a sinlge thing appealing about it.

i still havent found my passion i still dont know what i wanna do in life which is pretty dissapointing i know but i dont know what i like. now since i havent been exposed to economics, accounancy or business. Since i havent found my passion i was thinking i could drop CS and take up Business along with physics chemistry and maths.

Again this is where a doubt arises for me.

  1. if i continue with CS ill have to write both my AS levels and A levels this year october, but as i said i dont like the subject and dont see myself being too happy taking computer science in the future.

2.if i take Business ill have to write my AS levels and A levels next year feb-march, since this will be my first time taking business will it be too challenging cuz i have no prior knowledge in this subject. And im gonna be writing both AS and A levels the same time next year which is doing a 2 year course in 1

#

i still dont know what i wanna be in the future so i was figuring maybe what if i really like business studies and i can pursue that

#

but again as i said 2 years course in 1 year which is challenging and i have no prior knowledge

#

so its quite a gamble i must say

#

someone please guide me🙏

#

you're already done w AS compsci you just need to get better at it

#

learning a full a level in one year is too much

#

well it's doable but if ur struggling with compsci already i wouldnt recommend it

valid lynx
#

and like i said

#

i havent figured out what i wanna do

#

so its pretty tuff

manic widget
#

no see

#

you may not like compsci

valid lynx
#

and im writing the SAT in june

manic widget
#

is it worth learning a whole-ass a level in one year

manic widget
#

the SAT is easy not an issue

#

but like business is not an easy a level

#

especially with learning to write the long-form answer style

valid lynx
#

hmmm yea

manic widget
#

trading what is ideally a scoring subject (all you have to do is learn the theory and there is no emphasis on answer style, at least for paper 1 and 3) for a much more essay-based subject is counterintuitive

#

usually I tell people to do the subjects they like… but that’s at the start of IGCSEs/AS

#

rn you’re sort of in too deep

valid lynx

yeah im pretty late rn so

# manic widget I’m recommending you either drop CS or do CS, but don’t take another new a level

see lmao i can study the sub and get an A this year i have no problem but like i dont really feel like studying cs, and i know its a high paying sector so i woudlnt drop it its not that i find it difficult its just that i have like 0 interest to go into that sector lmao. so i wouldnt drop the subject as a whole but i was thinking i would wanna take business and what if i may like it thats whats going in my head rn

#

cs i jsut find it annoying if you know what i mean, like maths and science i can still do i enjoy studying those subs but cs nah not rlly

manic widget
#

Like I got rid of a level bio midway through my AS year coz I knew I just hated it

#

but yeah if you’re confident about business do it ig

princeton might be better right?

ok so he said that barrons overprepares u and he said that overall he recommends barrons

alright

for math and sciences he preferred princeton

so im probably gonna get barrons to self study

balmy gale
#

I need advice for math cuz I feel really conflicted.

Idk how many schools do this but in my school Precalculus and Honors Precalculus are really really different. I’ve heard kids say that honors precalc is worse than AP Calculus.

I originally settled on Honors because I want to go into STEM and I think a harder math course would be beneficial for that but I’m honestly starting to get worried about it because my teacher says that most kids’ grades will drop a letter or 2 compared to their usual grades in math.

I have an A in my current math course (straight A student) and if I get a B then I’m not really sure how that will look on my college application. Obviously I’ll try my hardest but I’m still worried.

So I guess my actual question is: If I take honors Precalculus, will colleges care more about my grade (If I get a B) or will they look more at the fact that I took a harder course? Would it be worth it to take honors or should I do on-level precalc for the guaranteed A?

Sorry for long post

during February I tried to enroll in my courses online and found out I was blocked, emailed counselor, no response

I submitted an online form, including the issue and the courses I wanted to be enrolled in, it directed me to another staff who enrolled me into the wrong courses and told me to pay for one of the courses I picked as an extra one

I wired the money, emailed her, no response

so now I paid for four courses and I'm enrolled in three, two of which are the wrong ones

class starts tomorrow and I've heard from a classmate that all the courses are probably full and I can't change now

Hello, I am an incoming freshman to a well-known catholic high school in Los Angeles. The 9th grade does not offer any AP courses however there is an extra point for Spanish 2 honors which I have tested into; however, I don’t find myself wanting to move forward with this language. I would like to take French, which I also have a leg up in. What should I do?

As an additional question, how many extracurricular activities would you choose for this grade level
