course-selection

[stable dawn]

going into year 12

[zealous raft]

ohh

i might be able to help idk

it depends what it is

[stable dawn]

i just dont know what to choose in terms of AP Lang and AP Lit

also would like some feedback with AP art and whether or not its hard

[zealous raft]

ap lang is really gonna help you with writing in college. I was told by my counselor that she’s had students who would do better in college writing just from remembering what they did in ap lang

[stable dawn]

oh

which one is "easier"

not neccesariliy easier per se

but less stressful

[zealous raft]

honestly idk i’ve heard better things about ap lang that ap lit

i haven’t taken either yet but i plan to

ap lang i hear people hating it and people loving it but i’ve only ever heard people complain about ap lit

it depends

do you like writing or reading/literature more

[stable dawn]

depends on the contxt

and what is done with set medium

[zealous raft]

you might want to ask someone who has taken both classes

[stable dawn]

ah

ill just ask this again later then

when there's more activity

thanks for you help

[zealous raft]

yeah ofc

[cinder gorge]

Freshman Schedule:

1. English Honors 9
2. Honors Biology
3. Honors Chemistry
4. AP World History
5. Financial Literacy/Health
6. Spanish II
7. Honors Algebra II

with all of these how much homework will I get?

[coarse sigil]

all depends on schools

[languid knot]

Nah im wondering if i shoipd take it next year or not

as a sophomore

[signal merlin]

anyone took childhood growth and devlopment class? is it diffuclt?

[stable dawn]

Lunch is a class

Wtf

[signal merlin]

is ap psycology and ap statics good to take for sophmore? any advice for classes i should take in sophmre

[dull adder]

the funnier part is there are two different lunch courses

[dull adder]

ap stats requires alg 2 knowledge

[signal merlin]

im taking alg 2 that same year so would that work? or would that just be very stupid

[dull adder]

i mean you could ig

if you think you can handle it then go for it

[signal merlin]

ok

is ap pycology easy

or hard

[dull adder]

easy

[signal merlin]

ok

thanks

[robust carbon]

hmm

does the pre-ap history substitute as civics?

at least here, in 8th grade, we take civics

also, what kind of history is it?

i would do honors ela, as you may learn things that would benefit you for high school, but it is mainly your choice

[lone lion]

varies

[deft maple]

You can’t do both?

[short burrow]

id do ela

its weird u cant do both??

ela gives useful skills

u can do ap history without a pre ap

[vestal crypt]

yeah, id imagine you are required english and history

[hollow salmon]

guys do you think my schedule is managebal

becuase i felt like i overloaded myself

so like im doing sophmore next year

and I'm starting a mock trial club, in varsity debate, planning on joining HOSA, also palnning on becoming officer of 2 clubs. but i felt like i took too many ap classes for thsi year. I ahve AP Precalc, AP stats, AP psych, and (maybe) ap world history

i feel like im going to overload myself ngl

😦

also before you comment on the ap precalc im forced to take it because our school needs the moeny

on the side note algebra 2 is very very fun

[hollow salmon]

🤓 ☝️

[unborn vault]

Is DE english 12 easier than ap lit?

[unborn vault]

Quiet

[hollow salmon]

👩‍⚖️

[worldly flume]

the work load for ap psych rly isnt that much and same for ap world but i guess that depends on ur teacher 😭 i think it’s definitely doable but maybe limit to 3 aps

[hollow salmon]

yea tru tru

but a lot of stuff isnt confirmed yet

so i m scared for the summer lol

[worldly flume]

why dont be 😭😭

youll be fineee

[sharp plover]

Hello! Im an upcoming 9th grader and I have a really in-depth knowledge of Computer Science. My HS offers APCSP and APCSA to 9th graders, and I'm 90% sure I'm fine for APCSA. Ive already asked my counselors, but my question was the only one not answered. Any thoughts?

[solemn hamlet]

CSP isn't even actual coding
CS A isn't a difficult class either, but you do have to write code on paper, at least in the final AP test

[sharp plover]

Yea, i saw that on the past student exams. Strange but doesn't seem too hard

Thanks!

[wide shuttle]

should i take APHG or AP Psych

[solemn hamlet]

Which are you more interested in? HuG is also considered a pretty easy class, but you should probably choose based on your interest

[latent comet]

Basic or standard maths?

[solemn hamlet]

Standard then

[latent comet]

I'm not sure on it, i score like 60-65/80 in maths

[hollow salmon]

Csa easy asl

I came in with no coding experience and I’m doing fine

The hardest thing there is probably either recursions or arraylists

[solemn hamlet]

Yes cs a is easy

[hollow salmon]

Aphug has a huge ass work load

This shi killing me ngl

[solemn hamlet]

It's hard for some tho

[hollow salmon]

It’s easy

Aphug

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah

[hollow salmon]

The work load is horrendous though

[solemn hamlet]

I meant cs a

[exotic hatch]

i also need advice]

is it better to do subjects you're good at or subjects that you like? If you could only choose one

[solemn hamlet]

Well, if you're good at something now, that doesn't mean you will be good at it on a higher ldvel too

[latent comet]

Depends on the subject

If the subject is related to your career plan, and you like it, just take it

You will improve and get better eventually

[honest vale]

Hello guys please I'm going to study computer engineering in uni, can i study the software part of engineering as a computer engineer???

[solemn hamlet]

Please figure out what these terms mean

[wide shuttle]

i mean ofc aphg

i like geography

[wide shuttle]

this scares me tho

[solemn hamlet]

AP psych is considered more difficult so

[solemn hamlet]

the workload also depends on your teacher doesn't it

[wet rune]

aphug was legit the easiest hard class ive ever taken, i stopped taking notes in that class after like unit 4 and got a 5

[wraith fox]

Should I do alg 2 over the summer

[hollow salmon]

Yea it’s easy asf

[robust carbon]

i thought it was a lot of information

[robust carbon]

i think hes sophmore

oop nvm

[sharp plover]

uh

ima skip it

[deft maple]

How do I know if engineering is the right path for me? I like math but I have no common sense. When I think of engineering, I think of building and building stuff requires some common sense.

Unfortunately I don’t meet the requirements for internships and summer programs

Are there age requirements for these summer programs

Sorry, I meant job shadowing

Oh ok

I’ve tried reaching out to someone that works a Boeing but they said no. There’s also a Volvo manufacturing place, do you think they would also have engineers there?

Specifically mechanical engineering

I don’t know any other engineering businesses

Wait do you think I can find job shadow opportunities at job fairs?

Thanks for the help

Wait a minute

I don’t even have a car 😭

[robust carbon]

most people don't

[deft maple]

They don’t got the time to be driving me around look for job fairs

Womp womp indeed

[robust carbon]

public transportation

asking a friend

walking lol

[full tinsel]

Anyway I can take AP Italian over the summer?

[velvet depot]

There's an ap italian????

[full tinsel]

Yes

Lots of languages

I'm in Spanish III

But I would like to learn italian

Ik I can't just sttaight up take it, but I would like to know how I can do it online before I get ready

[cinder gorge]

I want to take AP japanese👍

[full tinsel]

Yea

[cinder gorge]

hello i want to be a doctor in the future but right now i am taking igcse's so i do not know what subjectsi should choose preferably

[full tinsel]

I wish there was an AP Korean

[cinder gorge]

can i have help?

[full tinsel]

Idk

[cinder gorge]

Same :/

[cinder gorge]

Ap bio?

And AP calc

[full tinsel]

AP Chem maybe?

[compact leaf]

im assuming since theyre taking igce they dont have APs i think right

Is it too much to take AP Chem AP CSA AP World and AP Precalc all in one year

[compact spruce]

Probably

[coarse sigil]

its a heavy load

does DE classes count towards GPA?

and is it usually taken during the weekdays or weekends?

[signal merlin]

is de and dc the same thing? if so is it only semeseter long or whole year

[coarse sigil]

dual credit

[velvet crest]

I didn’t take any ap classes freshman and sophomore year. Next year I’m taking ap precalc, APUSH, and ap bio. I don’t know if I should do ap lang or lit bec I don’t like English as much even though I have a 96 in honors right now, my teacher even said she would recommend ap lit for me and I had her for both 9th and 10th grade. Plus English for some reason takes a lot of time for me outside of school so I’m a bit scared of the workload outside of class on top of ap bio and the others. Later in college I know I want to do either pharmacy or medicine. Any recommendations?

[worldly flume]

def stick to ap bio and consider taking ap lang (imo) cause thats definitely gonna help u write ur essays for colleges and lowkey the psats at least for me, and if not ur junior than senior

[velvet crest]

Should I still take lang junior year even though I’m also taking ap precalc and APUSH with ap bio? I’m worried that it may be too much for junior year from going from no aps to 3-4 aps

[worldly flume]

well do you manage your work load well and know when to prioritize?

i strongly recommend u do ap lang its soo helpful

like probably the best ap and most useful ive ever taken

[velvet crest]

A bit, some juniors I talked with said that junior year is when it forces you to have good habits and usually I’m on top of my work for honors classes

[worldly flume]

oh definitely fss, what aps are u gonna take senior year?

[velvet crest]

Prob ap calc ab (maybe bc if i do good in precalc), ap chem, most likely some sort of English ap since it’s either that or an ECE course, and maybe ap stats if i have room in my schedule

[worldly flume]

hmm this is difficult cause like u could realistically do ap lang or lit senior or junior year 😭

but i still would take it junior yr

[velvet crest]

The only thing I’m skeptical about ap lang is a counselor came to talk about courses and she said only take ap lang if ur fine with getting at most a B for the first quarter or two

[wet rune]

im so worried about ap lang for next year

sure whats up

basically

[worldly flume]

yeahh there’s alot of work load thats for sure, & if youre concerned thatll ruin your gpa then maybe dont take it. but the things u learn in there is useful fs

[wet rune]

the inside of the earth is really really hot and theres lava coming out of it constantly, but cooling when its in the ocean, pushing the rest of the sea floor outwards, pushing the other tectonic plates with it, thus why the sea floor moves apart constantly because there is always new material becoming a part of the sea floor

for sure

theres prolly youtube vids that explain it better than me at 11pm on a wednesday tho

[signal grail]

is AP precalc worth it? I suck at math but i heard its easier than reg precalc

[wet rune]

from what teachers have told me and my friends in precalc, its a little less content than regular precalc that moves at a slightly faster pace, but its all the same stuff. if you want the GPA boost then i would take it because its not much harder, but its about your comfort level with a fast class

because the new material is always flexible enough to get pushed and keep expanding, and the old stuff goes back in and gets reused

mmhmm

[lone lion]

ap pre calc sucks

💀

[lone lion]

it can go jump off a cliff

[signal grail]

😂

why

[lone lion]

wrong place to help w science 😭

[lone lion]

trig is #1 opp

i literally have a borderline 80.04 in that class 💀

[wet rune]

dw about it, its chill

[lone lion]

i will worry tho #staysafe

[wet rune]

ok pal

[lone lion]

bro called me pal

[full tinsel]

Wut is going on

[wet rune]

its alright buster, take a breather

slow your roll buckaroo

[mossy stratus]

I'm having trouble picking a course

for university

@wise forge

if I'm allowed to ping you

[lone lion]

🤡

[wise forge]

Elaborate please

[mossy stratus]

I recently dropped out of a diploma in photography because it was already teaching me stuff I already knew from a photography course last year

[wise forge]

Hm

[mossy stratus]

and im trying to look for pointers in where to go next

[wise forge]

hm. well college isn't nessesary needed to succeed

you could just start working

you could find a trade

etc

[mossy stratus]

I like the student envrioment

@solemn hamlet I know what you mentioned in another chat

[solemn hamlet]

Well, would a degree in photography even be worth it?

[solemn hamlet]

This is what I was talking about

Does a career in photography require a college education?

If you want to go to college, getting a degree for a backup or alternative career might be a better choice

[mossy stratus]

or uni

unless uni and college are the same thing

[solemn hamlet]

A university is just a group of colleges

[mossy stratus]

point is, im looking for something else

[solemn hamlet]

Like just a course in photography

[mossy stratus]

completely different course

[solemn hamlet]

like a vocational type course?

[mossy stratus]

?

[solemn hamlet]

Like instead of being lectured, a course that actually teaches photography skills?

[mossy stratus]

I said I wanted to do something completely different

[solemn hamlet]

Ok so like I said even earlier

[mossy stratus]

it was in another chat

[solemn hamlet]

No it wasn't 💀
We can't help you if you're not clear with wat you need help with

[mossy stratus]

finding said "Completely different course"

are we clear?

[solemn hamlet]

I'm sorry, I don't think it's possible for me to help.

[mossy stratus]

because u lack information?

[solemn hamlet]

That and more

[mossy stratus]

what information do you lack?

[cinder gorge]

thankyou guys but what does the "AP" in front of subjects mean?

im confused

has anyone taken A level sciences here?

is it hard to catch up?

[solemn hamlet]

AP --> Advanced Placement, a higher level course that gives you college credit if you take those classes in college and looks good in college apps

[cinder gorge]

ok thankyou

[nocturne oracle]

heyaaaaa

i wanna do game development as my profession or some kind of software development.
someone suggest me some exams, universities and other stuff ig

[noble wharf]

Idk about game development but you could try tech unis like stanford

It might have game development

[solemn hamlet]

Do you want crunches and terrible work life balance?

[nocturne oracle]

mhm

[nocturne oracle]

my choice bruv. im just following my passion

[solemn hamlet]

Answer the question tho

Game dev is a terrible industry to work in 🫄

[nocturne oracle]

if it means following my passion and doing what i love... then im sure i would do those too lol

[solemn hamlet]

so 80 hour workweeks? More power to you

Oh wait

Like u mean indie dev?

[nocturne oracle]

yh 80hrs doing wht i love rather than some shit 9to5 job...is much better and idk much more appealing to me

[solemn hamlet]

*7to7 job

And no weekends

[nocturne oracle]

yh but after a gaining some experience at a higher level

[nocturne oracle]

mhm

[solemn hamlet]

So like working for a company and then starting your own studio?

[nocturne oracle]

yh

[solemn hamlet]

Seriously more power to you

[nocturne oracle]

ig

haha lol

[solemn hamlet]

7 to 7 would make me wanna kms

[nocturne oracle]

lol u lazy af then 🙂

[solemn hamlet]

💀

[nocturne oracle]

where u from

[solemn hamlet]

I just want a life

[nocturne oracle]

thats wht everyone wants isnt it

[solemn hamlet]

Why would I want to work for that much time

[nocturne oracle]

but requires hardwork nd some of those 80hrs workweeks

[nocturne oracle]

do the hard work first in my opinion to relax later

[solemn hamlet]

80 hour workweeks getting you a life is serious bs imo
Anyways, best of luck to your endeavours

[nocturne oracle]

thanx bruhh

[solemn hamlet]

Idt game studios have that many benefits

[nocturne oracle]

which country r u from tho

[solemn hamlet]

Why does that matter

[nocturne oracle]

just asking

im from india

[solemn hamlet]

India
Like you yes

[nocturne oracle]

oh cool

which grade u in

[solemn hamlet]

If you still wanna do game dev, probably best to stick to indie studios btw

[nocturne oracle]

yh ill consider that..thanx

[solemn hamlet]

As my roles say, rising sophomore (10th grader)

[nocturne oracle]

[coarse sigil]

believing everything you see is wild

[solemn hamlet]

😡

[lusty vector]

So, i need to choose a course next year, and I have no idea which one. I was thinking somtheing like a technology course like programmer or mechatronics

opinions?

[solemn hamlet]

Like, any course? Do you not have any options to choose from?

[lusty vector]

I have 2 course in the school i want to go to that match up with these. Sorry for diffrent language, I'm not in UK anymore. They translate to informatics technictian- Sisytems, and the other is Programmer

[solemn hamlet]

Like a vocational University?

[lusty vector]

Yeah

[full remnant]

guys is it mandatory to opt for a foreign language in high school to get into an ivy league

[coarse sigil]

Check common data set

But usually yes

[short burrow]

yes please do a foreign language

like every college requires foreign lang

[full remnant]

ok so my high school is asking me to choose either hindi or spanish/french to study in high school. Hindi is easy but I feel the other two languages will provide me w better opportunities. can u guys pls help me coz im freaking out

[short burrow]

which one do you like the most

[coarse sigil]

Doesn’t really matter

I would recommend doing something you’re familiar with

[full remnant]

i wanna do spanish tbh

[short burrow]

do spanish

[full remnant]

but i hv heard that learning foreign languages will provide me w more opportunities

[coarse sigil]

Source?

[full remnant]

idk lol

[dense hawk]

id do spanish imo

[vestal crypt]

spanish isnt bad

just put in some extra effort and you will do good

[boreal knot]

hi so im going to be in 10th grade next year and my school offers the IB diploma in 11th+12th grade. however to eligible I need to do physics and chemistry next year. doing 2 sciences would take up an elective spot, and i was planning on doing APCSP. i'm not too sure about the diploma, any recommendations? also how much of an impact does the IB diploma make on college admissions

[gloomy lotus]

If you're doing IB, don't expect to be doing many APs (maybe 1-2 if you're lucky)

to get your diploma, you need 3 SL and 3 HL classes along with TOK. Depending on your schedule, you may be able to squeeze in an AP here and there, but the program is built in a way that it's self-sufficient to colleges

[boreal knot]

wait so is diploma worth it

or should i just do certificate

[gloomy lotus]

It's on the level, if not harder, than AP classes

it's up to you whether you want to do it - make sure to weigh many other factors too

try asking some upper classmen how their experience is as it varies school to school

[gray shuttle]

So next year i'm not taking english in my senior year due to me getting thjat credit through another class will that disatvange me to not take english my senior year?

[robust carbon]

what u replacin it with

[gray shuttle]

i'm taking ap calc, ap comp sci, spanish 3, and civics my senior year and a vocational school for cs half of my day, (i';m apllying cs)

[robust carbon]

i think it'll be fine

but you might want to confirm

[gray shuttle]

i konw i'm getting the english credit

[brave fulcrum]

Guys should I pick leadership 9 or intermidiate band 9?

[median sail]

Will just taking the AP test for a course count as taking a course to colleges (assuming i get a 4 or 5)? My school does this thing where we can just study on our own for a course and take the AP test with everyone else in may.

[untold sable]

do i regret choosing ib

[deft maple]

Are books like Barron’s and Princeton reviews more for practice questions or classroom instruction?

[dense hawk]

yea you can take as many AP tests as you want

[dense hawk]

practice questions

[turbid arch]

Is this good for my sophomore year?
Honors English 10
Honors Algebra 2 & 3
Spanish 3
AP World History
Chemistry
1 Semester Classes: Drama 1, Intro to CS, Sports Skills or Gym, and International Relations

Our requirements are 4 years of English, 4 years of Math, 3-4 Years of Science, 3.5 Years of Social Studies, somehow no official world language requirement, but 2 years recommended.

[lone lion]

its ur standards bro

if u think it fits ur time management frame and all that

ur fine

no need to ask people on here

[short burrow]

what is algebra 3???

[cinder gorge]

i think intermediate algebra?

[short burrow]

is alg 1 and 2 beginning alg?

ive never heard of 3

usually u move to precalc or calc

[cinder gorge]

my aops apparently has algebra 3

and it's also named intermediate algebra

algebra B is Algebra II

at least in my aops

[wet rune]

if alg 2 and 3 are seperate classes dont do it, but if theyre continuations during the year then its ok

[halcyon tulip]

Guys I have a question about high school, so currently I am attending 8th grade and I am in Math 1 (9th grade Math). I don't go to the high school and will this course count towards my high school GPA

[wet rune]

the credits, while they wont count towards GPA still give you graduation credits

it carries over on your transcript that you took high school level classes in 8th grade

[halcyon tulip]

wait will this count towards my gpa

that's what I am curious about

[wet rune]

i dont think so, but im not sure about your specific school

[halcyon tulip]

Ok so, my school has a website ok and they haven't updated their stuff

so during covid time

they said it would go towards the transcript

since students are coming to the high school

but we don't go to the

high school anymore

[wet rune]

it goes on the transcript not the GPA

[halcyon tulip]

ok ty

[worldly flume]

i also took 9th grade math as a 8th grader and it didnt count towards my hs gpa

[boreal solar]

so i want some help
im just now finished 10th and enter 11th
i like chem and maths but i am ok with phy
i have told the school people that i want cs+pcm or pcbm..
both has phy in it and i want help if phy is really hard in 11th

[halcyon tulip]

ok thanks for letting me know

[worldly flume]

ofcc

[worldly flume]

personally i didnt think physics was that hard its alot of algebra concepts, u just have to apply them

[full remnant]

But what if I don’t score well enough in Spanish coz Hindi is like way easier

[dense hawk]

You can use Spanish more in the world

[cinder gorge]

Im taking calc 1 currently at a ccc, but also plan to take ap calc bc with getting a 5 incase i need to transfer to a private school.

If i have so many transferable credits i could get a bachelors degree in 2 years at a csu or uc. Did I just screw myself over a semester?

[solemn hamlet]

What do you mean? Like you don't have enough credits?

[solemn hamlet]

are you in CBSE? The curriculum for hindi sucks, even if it's easier, it's useless
I'd recommend a foreign language.

[wet rune]

but also , remember, personal prefrence and it depends on what the person wants to do. I dont want to take spanish because i wont use it because I want to study french history

theres not one formula for success

[cinder gorge]

I meant that since ap calc bc is calc 1 & 2. Id just be learning it again

[solemn hamlet]

cant you just use that credit to skip calc 2 then?

[cinder gorge]

I could, but I could also just finish calc 2 in 1 semester instead of taking ap calc for 2 semesters

[solemn hamlet]

Do that then

Just Drop the ap if it's not helpful

[cinder gorge]

Okay

[waxen cargo]

Hello

I am new

Can you just give me a quick

Tourr

[fiery pulsar]

hey! does anyone have advice on whether to take bio AP or calc AP if i want to go into a biomed program? i can only fit one in my schedule and i most likely wouldn’t use either to audit the uni class but i was wondering which one would be more helpful.

[dense hawk]

i mean its just a fact that there are a lot of spanish speakers around the world

[unreal sphinx]

I would go bio tbh

Med revolves A LOT on bio

Like a lot more than you think

Calc you will continue and learn so much more about in college

Definitely take a calculus class however in high school!!!

Like honors or regular levels

*level

Preferably honors

[deft maple]

Which is harder APUSH or APUSGOV

[vestal nimbus]

I would recommend you to take AP Bio

It covers a lot of the basic knowledge you’ll need to know for biomed

[coarse sigil]

ap bio really

i mean its in the name

[lone lion]

why is that a question

[lone lion]

bro i swear half these ppl just ask w/o thinking first 😭

[coarse sigil]

shut up nate

god dam

[sullen hearth]

whats the difference between macroeconomics and microeconomics

[sullen hearth]

yeah

[velvet depot]

Macro focuses on large entities such as corporations, governments, and international agencies, while micro focuses on smaller entities such as small businesses, individuals, and more

[sullen hearth]

oh

[unreal sphinx]

APUSH is a hella a lot worse than gov

I feel that you should take gov over apush unless you want to be a us history or sum 💀

It could be beneficial to learn about the government and how it works to develop a better understanding in politics

Plus way easier AP than APush

[sullen hearth]

nah apuhs is a requirement for most hs for graduation

[deft maple]

No it’s not

Regular US history is

[deft maple]

I’ve never taken either courses before

[sullen hearth]

oh yeah

but most people just take apush

[brave fulcrum]

Guys should I pick leadership 9 or intermidiate band 9?

[brave onyx]

is ap bio reasonably self-studiable?

[solemn hamlet]

Java could be difficult for some

Do you have any cs experience

[opaque pivot]

a lot of people I know have been saying they despise the ap stats course, but I've never taken it so idk for sure

[unreal sphinx]

Nahhh regular history is, no school would require an AP level for graduation that’s stupid.

[unreal sphinx]

Could band possibly be done outside a daily class environment?

Like does your school hold rehearsals during before school hours, lunch, or after school?

That way you could do both somehow.

[sullen hearth]

yeah i forgot cuz most just take apush

[vestal crypt]

band if you are good

[signal merlin]

easy class to self study?

and is there ways i could take ap classes online or any type of classes online during summer? my high school only does few classes in person that are gerneral level

[solemn hamlet]

Why do you want to self study an AP?

The credit?

[solemn hamlet]

Well, you could look at dual enrollment

[signal merlin]

yes

[solemn hamlet]

Then choose those related to your major, wdym easy?

[signal merlin]

idk honestly

[solemn hamlet]

What major are you taking? Do you know? There isn't exactly much point to a macro economics credit if u take cs

[solemn hamlet]

Then decide

[signal merlin]

ok

[solemn hamlet]

4 years will pass in a flash

[signal merlin]

do u know which ap classes tho will alllow me to skip general ed classes

same for dual credit

[dense hawk]

it differs for each college

[signal merlin]

right

[dense hawk]

like ill have to take most of my gen eds if not all of them at some of the colleges im looking at

it depends on the AP exam and the score you get on it too

[signal merlin]

yea

[ashen zodiac]

Does anyone who took APES recommend it for my freshman year? I heard it's not too bad

[sullen hearth]

Yea its easy

its like 7th grade science 💀

[signal merlin]

is it worth taking it?

[robust carbon]

apes?

[signal merlin]

yes

[robust carbon]

yes, unless you have a better ap to substitute

(by better, something more related to your major)

[signal merlin]

ok ty

[short burrow]

if anybody here has taken ap bio how difficult would you say it is for a freshman?

or should i do honors bio first

[robust carbon]

honors

are you taking anything else with bio?

[short burrow]

you have not taken ap bio fuck off

we are the same age

[robust carbon]

bruh

i thought we were homies

[short burrow]

🗿

[short burrow]

i was gonna replace honors bio w ap bio because errrr. why not

[vital olive]

yes donit

we love aps

[short burrow]

how hard is the class....

i can always email the teacher and ask her opinion

[robust carbon]

dang

guess their is your answer

[short burrow]

THAT DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION AT ALL?

[vital olive]

depends on teacher

u could alwyas drop to honors id u think it’s too hard

[robust carbon]

doesn't that look bad

[robust carbon]

he said yes

[short burrow]

i asked how hard it was

[short burrow]

thank u

ill ask around and see how the teacher is

[robust carbon]

ok

[vital olive]

and i said yes

that answers it completely and fully

idk what ur on rn

[robust carbon]

[dense hawk]

yall cant expect to ask an opinionated question and get a thorough response lol

if i took ap bio and thought it was hard ill tel you that

but johnny make have taken it and thought it was easy and tell you that

[short burrow]

yes but for like a freshman

who hasn't taken bio

[dense hawk]

take the classes that you are confident that you will do well in with your capabilities

[robust carbon]

johnny is him

[dense hawk]

do you think you can take an AP class freshman year?

if so then great, go ahead and take it

you can look these courses up on khan academy or youtube to see how tough they are

[short burrow]

oo u right okok

[dense hawk]

try to see if you can follow along with these videos

[signal merlin]

how are u able to take ap bio in freshman???

[short burrow]

asking very nicely

[signal merlin]

mmmm

i see

[short burrow]

idk abt urs but at my school the prereq requirements n stuff can be err

bypassed

[signal merlin]

yea not my school

thats cool

[short burrow]

u cant take compsci principles until 11th here 😭

[signal merlin]

bro

thats a wild system

[short burrow]

and ap psych is

12th only

[signal merlin]

wo

wow

my school allows comp prinsciples at 9th

and psy at 10th

[short burrow]

SIGH

they lock compsci behind a prereq too

[solemn hamlet]

I'm finna lose my lead here cus people are bullying me out of helping 😔

[short burrow]

??

[signal merlin]

lmao!!!

[solemn hamlet]

Well I'm not American but I've heard about the courses from people, chatting here and other places 😔

I am almost always right, and when I'm not, it's not exactly a mistake that an American can not make

Well enough with my rant 😞

[signal merlin]

wow

wait so what country are u in?

if ur not american

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah csp in 11th is crazy

[solemn hamlet]

India

[signal merlin]

oh

[solemn hamlet]

Btw ru in hs rn? Cus then your grad year role'd be wrong

[signal merlin]

ya freshman

wait

what

[solemn hamlet]

To simplify it, it's 2027 for freshman

You've got other

[solemn hamlet]

Rising freshman or like rising sophomore after this summer?

[signal merlin]

oh i didnt wanna put it but ill just put it now

[short burrow]

other is for people who are NOT old enough to be on discord 💀

[signal merlin]

rising sppphmore

[solemn hamlet]

You could instead just not get a role

Other suggests ur below 8th grade right now

[signal merlin]

i didnt wanna put it cuz i thought itd be young to be in this server and 9th rn but i figured majority is in 9th

so

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah everyone is freshman tbfh

[signal merlin]

yea

[solemn hamlet]

It's the time when everyone plans out their ECs and everything

[dense hawk]

oh wait you're not from the US?

[ember pier]

im from the uk

and

i want to do ppl at warrick

what do i pick for gsces

ppl is politics philosophy and law

[vast oracle]

what classes did everyone take

their freshman year

[vestal crypt]

not like i had many options

my only options were advanced in everything, language (not rly cuz i picked last year) and percussion ensemble

[vast oracle]

for some reason at my school we take bio sophomore year

im taking

[vestal crypt]

my school used to do that but removed earth science in 8th grade and shifted everything back

[vast oracle]

alebgra 2 honors

[vestal crypt]

i am too

[vast oracle]

how is it

im taking geo rn

[vestal crypt]

i mean next yr

[vast oracle]

same

geo is easier than algebra 1

i have 97 in

[vestal crypt]

agreed tbh

[vast oracle]

yeah

[vestal crypt]

im in coordinate geometry rn its like prove that something is a certain shape based on the coordinates of the points

[vast oracle]

i wonder what classes gohar and madan took😂

[vestal crypt]

calc 3 freshman fr

[vast oracle]

oh we just finished our trig unti and now we are doing similar triangles

[vast oracle]

frrrr

[vestal crypt]

for me its trig last unit and similar triangles next

[vast oracle]

so i think its algbra 2 freys

freshman

pre calc sophomore

[vestal crypt]

yes

[vast oracle]

calc ab junior

and then jdk

[vestal crypt]

ab or bc if epik

[vast oracle]

Idk my senior cuz my school doesnt offer bc

[vestal crypt]

goofy

schools usually do both

[scarlet zenith]

should I take my foreign language all 4 years

What are the benefits

[vast oracle]

what i dm madah/ gohar and be like what classes did u take😂

[scarlet zenith]

I’ve finished 2 years of it

[vestal crypt]

if you want to become fluent, are good at it, and the language has some practicality then its good to do

[scarlet zenith]

what abt college?

[vestal crypt]

but majorly lacking any of those three i personally wouldn’t

[vast oracle]

i think colleges like when u do 4 years

[vestal crypt]

some have a requirement idk exactly

[scarlet zenith]

What if I do 3 years?

[vestal crypt]

how many years can you do and what the highest level course

[scarlet zenith]

4 years

And honors

[vestal crypt]

for me its Language I-IV then AP so 5

[scarlet zenith]

Is the highest

I-IV honors

no ap offered

[vestal crypt]

Yeah ig if you want to really learn one

and it’s useful then do it

[scarlet zenith]

I’m just taking it for college honestly

[vestal crypt]

but if you dont have intention of learning the language then i wouldnt do it

[scarlet zenith]

but then again colleges like 4 years

[dense hawk]

all honors

[vestal crypt]

if you do 4 years for that might as well try to learn and remember it (be bilingual) in the process

[scarlet zenith]

true ig

[dense hawk]

if you travel you can use it, you can show jobs you can speak it pretty well

[scarlet zenith]

True

[dense hawk]

most colleges make you take usually 1 year of a foreign language unless you AP out of it

[coarse sigil]

Geometry High Honors, Bio Honors, Mandarin Honors, Intro to Lit Honors, World History Honors, Religion CP (I go to private catholic school)

wanted to take pre calc but my school didnt allow me. The algebra 2 kids are the guys that took it in 8th grade. Im taking algebra 2 over the summer to catch up

[viral pebble]

This is my schools gpa scale

Do you think an A- in a level or B+ in honors would look letter? B+ is worth more on gpa scale, but it’s not straight As, so I think A- in a level might be better

Please ping me or I won’t see the messages, thanks!

[solemn hamlet]

colleges will weigh those types of classes differently anyway yeah

APs are generally considered out of a 5.0 and honors out of a 4.5

but if you're in a public school than an in-state public university might consider the B+ in honors to be better

[cinder gorge]

How would this 4 year course plan work out? Not worried about homework or tests, just wondering if there are any more useful classes to take instead

[solemn hamlet]

loading up on APs

Yeah, probably a very good course plan

[cinder gorge]

Thanks, there's a fianancial literacy and health/p.e requirement so I have to take those too

Are there any other more benficial courses as opposed to the ones I shared?

[solemn hamlet]

well, you're covering almost every AP already

and the courses you generally take in hs dont matter beyong what you need for the diploma and college admissions

[cinder gorge]

Thanks

[solemn hamlet]

you've got 2 years of history, 4 years of a foreign language, and math and science, so you're probably all good

[cinder gorge]

I thought I had 4

Because apush, ap world, ap gov, and ap psych

right?

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah, 4 years of humanities courses, i dont really think universities consider those under history though

and wait

you dont have euro history

[cinder gorge]

Do u need that?

[solemn hamlet]

it might be better to have it

[cinder gorge]

It's not required under our school courses?

[cinder gorge]

I'll consider that then

[solemn hamlet]

yeah but some colleges like it if you take an year of euro history

ivies and stuff

[cinder gorge]

ur right

ill look into it

What class should I cut to add euro history?

[solemn hamlet]

might be more rigorous, but still beneficial, to replace one of your humanities-ish courses in junior or senior year with euro history if you can, just to have the best possible hs curriculum

[solemn hamlet]

well, i wouldnt recommend cutting any of the science courses

or the two history ones

or maths or spanish
But besides that you could be fine replacing any of them

is ap art history easy or difficult

[cinder gorge]

medium but i need it for fine arts credit unfortunately

[solemn hamlet]

ahh

just dont think its a very popular course lmao, dont see too many people taking it

[cinder gorge]

yeah fs

so i was looking back into it

nvm

[solemn hamlet]

what about ap csp? its a pretty easy course but its also p useless

[cinder gorge]

yeah thats true, but i need to take it for cs a

[solemn hamlet]

hmm yeah i thought your school might ask for that

[azure palm]

Are you trying to get into a top college?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

I'm also very into ec's and sport but I manage my time well

[solemn hamlet]

What about us gov? I'm pretty sure its one of the easier APs but it doesnt seem like you can change much more

[azure palm]

Alright

[solemn hamlet]

make sure to plan your ECs properly

[azure palm]

Good luck with it

Also wild that your school offers that many aps

[solemn hamlet]

get some international level ECs, and with these courses, you're probably golden

[cinder gorge]

Thanks, I will but I'm pretty expierenced in most of my ecs

[cinder gorge]

yeah

going to nationals for quizbowl and went to internationals for fpspi

[solemn hamlet]

nice

[cinder gorge]

but in hs its much more competitive so ill need to spend much more time

[cinder gorge]

a semester of us gov is required unfortunately

do all ivies require euro history @solemn hamlet ?

[solemn hamlet]

They don't require it, but like you want to do what ivies want you to ofc

[cinder gorge]

ok

[solemn hamlet]

like they recommend

[cinder gorge]

should i cut out pysch or stats maybe?

[solemn hamlet]

yeah, thats what id recommend too

[cinder gorge]

ok

thx

[azure palm]

If you want to major in a history thing, then its probably beneficial

Like ill put it this way

[cinder gorge]

I believe I have met some people who are going to harvard without taking the course but I think Harvard prefers the course to be taken

[solemn hamlet]

yeah

good example

[azure palm]

An ivy would less likely accept someone planning on majoring in premed or something if they took 15 aps that were mainly history and english based than someone who took 10 or 12 aps that were science based

[solemn hamlet]

you can go to an ivy without a foreign lang, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt, cus it might hurt your chances

[solemn hamlet]

there arent even that many

but no that isnt even that factually correct

if someone has med related ECs

and have no med APs but other APs

like national, international level ECs, that a harvard acceptee might have

then not taking AP bio would probably not get them rejected

especially considering most times admissions officers dont exactly have time to check what courses your school even offered

[azure palm]

Bro lets be real here were both freshman neither of us have any valid opinion

[solemn hamlet]

well, in this case, no opinion would be valid, the right information could only be gotten from an admissions officer

we can only guess and form our own opinions

[azure palm]

Yes thats what im saying dawg

[solemn hamlet]

and we can either base that on information released by these aforementioned admission officers or we can not

[azure palm]

And neither of us have any experience with the college admissions process

[solemn hamlet]

Alright

so sure

you don't need ap euro his

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1172185271400407101.webp?size=64

[azure palm]

Either of us could be right or wrong idek anymore😭

[wintry harbor]

wut abt the ppl who got accepted?

:

[solemn hamlet]

do they have their file?

[wintry harbor]

i mean if they do

[solemn hamlet]

do they know why they got accepted?

then yeah

but there's like 10 people who did, have their files, and would be willing to help

and they arent here

[wintry harbor]

right

so someone who got accepted

[solemn hamlet]

ofc if someone here does, please help

[wintry harbor]

eh i mean its like 3 aps a year

that is a lot especially if u. have a 7 block schedcuel

[solemn hamlet]

?

i mean

how many APs are med related

thats what i was talking about

[wintry harbor]

ohhh right

mk

i think there are only 5 ap sciencesz?

idrk

[solemn hamlet]

well, there's ap bio, chem and then phy 1, 2, and the two Cs

[wintry harbor]

is AP biology worth it and is it easy,,,, i have am taken honors bology right now

[solemn hamlet]

yeah i see why you wouldnt trust someone in the same grade as you to help people

[wintry harbor]

what

[viral pebble]

Thanks

So which would u say is better….?

[solemn hamlet]

i cant say idk

[viral pebble]

😬

[deft solstice]

for a freshmen at bx sci, what courses would be recommended

[viral pebble]

I think a- would be better even though it’s worth less @solemn hamlet

[solemn hamlet]

idk about your school specifically, but if you tell us which courses are offered, we might be able to help

[solemn hamlet]

hmm maybe then

ofc, admissions officers are probably more familiar with the honors classes

[viral pebble]

Does each college have the same gpa scale that they re calculate @solemn hamlet

[solemn hamlet]

no

also is it really wise sharing what exact school you go to?

[deft solstice]

umm

not rlly but

honestly i dont go to that school

so

[solemn hamlet]

why are you even asking then

[deft solstice]

bc i might

i mean

[solemn hamlet]

youll have a counselor to help you with course selection

dont worry too much about it

[deft solstice]

oh ok

[lost pivot]

my school forces all its students to take religion every year, which is not an honors so it lowers my GPA, but in junior and senior year, we get the option to switch to IB Philosophy if we want to. I'm currently a sophomore, and I've chosen most of classes except that one because I'm not so sure if it's worth it. On one hand, if I take religion, I get essentially a free period. On the other hand, if I take IB Philosophy, I get the extra GPA point, but the classes I'm taking next year are REALLY stressful alongside my extracurriculars, so I'm worried that IB Philosophy might take valuable study/homework time from my other classes, or worse, lower my GPA anyway from getting a B in it. So would taking IB Philosophy be worth it? Or should I just stick to religion

[solemn hamlet]

well, courses arent always paramount, especially if that would worsen your gpa more than the higher level course helps or make you sacrifice ECs, so imo, dont

[lost pivot]

do you think if I applied to a UC they would even account religion classes in their final GPA calculation?

cause religion is technically not a UC approved course

[solemn hamlet]

well, they probably count everything in ur transcript

is religion even a graded course tho?

[lost pivot]

yeah

[solemn hamlet]

thats just dumb

[lost pivot]

unfortunately it's not pass no pass

[solemn hamlet]

i probably wouldnt worry about it too much

its not like not taking IB philosophy will have a major difference in your app, especially if you focus more on ECs and get good ones

[lost pivot]

ok sick

also I just realized that UCs have a max of 8 extra gpa points in 10th and 11th grade

and I already have more than that

so I think I'm chilling

[sacred stone]

what is the upper limit on Aps you would recomend for a junior

[vast oracle]

what classes did everyone take their freshman year

[pearl mesa]

Don’t worry about it because it’s not something you can control. Everyone in your school is required to take it so that’s not going to hurt you in any way

[robust carbon]

just because someone else took it doesn't mean it's right for you

you want something challenging (but not too much as freshman year is a base for hs), and want it to possibly relate to your interests

[vast oracle]

i just to see what everyone else did

j

out of curiosity

[opaque pivot]

Alg 1, LEAP (which is marketing paired with ELA), latin 2, pe, orchestra, gifted world geography, gifted biology

[craggy sky]

alg 2, english, us history, bio, health, gym,digital literacy, and information technology

my school does alg 2 then geometry which i think is kinda stupid

[lone lion]

that makes no sense

u do intro to trig in geometry

alg 2 is assuming u already know the basics

😭

[elfin hill]

Honestly 3 is the max

Any more than 3 is pushing it and will be very hard

You can take more senior year if you want for college credit

You shouldn’t try to spam like 5 Ap classes junior year because it could be stressful depending on the person

[halcyon tulip]

Are 4 Ap's good

[elfin hill]

Remember gotta study for sat, act etc state testing

[elfin hill]

Might be too much but it depends is that extra ap a slightly easier class than others

Is that extra ap like

Ap psych

[halcyon tulip]

does state testing matter

[halcyon tulip]

APES

[elfin hill]

Depends on the state

It’s a graduation requirement

[halcyon tulip]

bout california

[elfin hill]

Apes will be chill

[halcyon tulip]

my school doesn't have it

[elfin hill]

Idk

For me it is a grad requirement

But I passed it already

[halcyon tulip]

oh ok

[elfin hill]

I got level 4 on math and english

Level 4 out of 5

[halcyon tulip]

same

[elfin hill]

What other ap classes are you taking

[halcyon tulip]

AP Eng Lang

AP Calc AB

[elfin hill]

Ah

[halcyon tulip]

AP US History

[elfin hill]

Very difficult ones

I’m doing lang next year

You’ll have a ton of hw prob

I would push off apes imo to senior year if I can take it that year

[thorny radish]

I’m entering high school next year and have to make a 4 year plan for all my courses

And I have to chose how many years of Spanish I have to take

How much would you guys recommend?

For context I’m planning to go into IT, business

Because as of right now I can either take ap spanish 4 in my junior year or take ap statistics in my junior year

[obtuse vigil]

In my opinion ap statistics is more important since u can learn Spanish in different apps and u have plenty of other methods to study for it

[thorny radish]

👍

[elfin hill]

Depends on your school look at the requirement for how many years of spanish

Typically if you want to go to a 4 year college 3 years of spanish is good

[thorny radish]

2 yrs

[elfin hill]

4 years if you really enjoy spanish

3 is good then

[thorny radish]

👍

[elfin hill]

Colleges want 3 years mostly

4 is not needed tbh

[noble dawn]

how many aps are ideal to take in high school? is 9 good?

[sullen hearth]

yea, if your tryna to get into a highly competitive school more is better. In general, 9 is solid.

[noble dawn]

I think that’s the most I can take cause my school has religion classes and I also have to take a world language for 3 years, but that would be good for ucla right

[pearl mesa]

Depends on your school

You want to take more than others at your school

[noble dawn]

i think i'll be okay then cause my school offers only 1 ap class to sophomores so i'll be taking that and getting a head start

ty

[full tinsel]

How hard is AP Italian?

[lone lion]

research it

no need to ask ppl here

[crystal quarry]

Hey, so can someone give me some course recommendations for a psychology major in college, please?

[lone lion]

it depends on ur college-

[crystal quarry]

I'm in the middle of high school (10th) and plan on becoming a psychologist in the future. I was wondering if any courses would be like basic things you'd need to take if you were to become a psychologist in the future

[lone lion]

uh

ap psych

ap stats

ap calc ab

ap lang

and other medical related courses u have

u can also take dual enrollment

[digital lichen]

I have a question for those who are in high school+. What classes should I take my freshman year?

Since I am in 8th grade I am currently taking 8th grade math. I am also taking Spanish 1

[solemn hamlet]

well, what do you have available to you? math and foreign lang would be a continuation of the course you took in 8th grade

[sullen hearth]

o

[cedar sparrow]

damn thats a lot of choices

[digital lichen]

Definitely

[cedar sparrow]

then ig you'd do alg 2 next year and spanish 2 the year after??

[digital lichen]

That’s why it’s hard deciding

[cedar sparrow]

yeah lwk

i mean so like you think you can handle honors classes?

they usually aint too bad

a little gpa boost too at times and its a little more challenging (not by a lot tho)

I mean I don't quite understand the inegrated maths part but if you're a freshman ig u start with int math 1?

[oak plaza]

Anyone here reminiscing on the days of ppq

[fleet wadi]

What do you do in Intro To Film Production?

[solid hawk]

Should I take AP Lit, or should I be an office aide? I don't really want to take Lit, but I will if it'll look better to colleges. I'm already taking Creative Writing, so I'll be taking both Lit and Creative Writing. Creative writing is just a regular class.

[low igloo]

YOU HAVE ROBOTICS

damnn

[digital lichen]

Yeahhh

[low igloo]

thats so cool

[digital lichen]

The High school I am going to is a Magnet

[low igloo]

whats that

[digital lichen]

A magnet high school

[low igloo]

like focused on one major

whats a magnet highschool

[digital lichen]

Look it up

I don’t know how to explain it

[low igloo]

oooooh

so it can go indepth for one major

[digital lichen]

Yeah

Basically

Not everyone does that major though

I can’t wait to go there honestly

You have to have like the right grades to get in

And I got a seat

[cursive panther]

i was thinking of going to magnet called Troy but i’m not really into tech which is what it focuses on

[digital lichen]

That makes sense

[lone lion]

California?

[dusky seal]

Would it be stupid of me, as someone who wants to take AP calc next year, to take Math Analysis over the summer to move up? (currently in alg II trig)

(ap calc ab)

[lone lion]

take pre calc

Be normal

😭

Also summer classes go fsster so ppl who "skip" classes tend to do worse statistically

[dusky seal]

true

but the ap calc teacher atleast ive heard from a friend who took ap calc ab said she will teach everything from the beginning if i need help, and that the friend herself didn't remember much from pre calc

[lone lion]

omg someone ghost ping 😱

[dusky seal]

lol wha

[lone lion]

its still a foundational

course

someone ghost pinged me

[dusky seal]

true

oh my lol

[lone lion]

but if u think ur advanced enough do it

[dusky seal]

im good at alg ii trig

im not sure how math analysis will turn out

[dusky seal]

good to note, im not confident to say what i said after your message though HAHA because i only start actually trying in math in my eught grade year (but i got like high B's before that)

eighth*

[lone lion]

oop

[dusky seal]

so im not sureee like ive gotten a's in math ever since and i do pretty well its just confidence

[lone lion]

yep

[dusky seal]

😄

i won't get too ahead of myself thp

tho*

and then on top of that i considered ap or de physics since i really liked chem

but

not sure

and ap lang

[lone lion]

ap is harder fs

[dusky seal]

hmm good to know

i know ap/de physics incorporates some calculus, atleast thats what i heard from a friend

so thats interesting

[lone lion]

pre calc minimum

[dusky seal]

i see..

[finite lion]

Which@language is the easiest

I’ve taken Latin for 4 years but should I take German French or mandarin instead

[vestal crypt]

spanish is free

of those options french is the easiest

[lone lion]

no-

[cinder gorge]

Ofc mandarin

Easiest fr

[lone lion]

bro

💀

stop giving him biased info

@finite lion choose one that makes most sense to you

[finite lion]

Ok ty

[lone lion]

Out of all those

Chinese is most spoken in the US

but the rest r good

[cursive panther]

yep

wait a minute you know troy?

[lone lion]

im in it rn lol

[cursive panther]

lol

omg

that’s insane

what aps are you taking

[lone lion]

uh

apush psych and pre calc

i took microecon outside of troy

Will colleges consider 1 semester of community college chinese mandarin the equivalent of 2 years of foreign language?

My high school puts it as 20 credits, which is the equivalent to 2 years on my transcript

[cursive panther]

so canyon hs (the high school i’m going to) has macro econ so should it be easy to just take the microecon exam?

[lone lion]

oh my friend is in canyon

im taking it somewhere else

[short burrow]

would talking ap wh be better in freshman year than ap csp?

bc i can get the history course out of the way and have another spot freshman yr

[ornate drift]

Chemistry and bio or chemistry and physics?

Honestly no clue what to pick

[solemn hamlet]

There is no real benefit from CSP other than an AP class that increases your grade (unless your school makes it a prereq for cs a)
So I'd recommend you to do that

[past finch]

i doubt it

they might grade it as if it is an ap

like give it more weightage

but it wont be worth 2 years

Could someone rate my course selection(cannot change it anymore):

• Precalc(Honors is really hard in our school)
• AP CS A(Not guarenteed to get this as a soph so alt is weights for the 1 last year of pe)
• APUSH(Im a soph but i bridged world)
• English 10
• Spanish III
• Honors Physics
