Is ap world history hard for a freshman?

[harsh hedge]

I mean AP world history is ranked a C if its ranked F-A in my opinion in difficulty

its not too hard but its not easy

Bruh is that what engineers do nowadays only CAD?

Thats just fucking Architecure

[cinder gorge]

Not really, I've looked at a few questions and the course material so it's not too hard

AP world is usually one of the few courses freshman start off with so I think you're good

[frigid dust]

Okay thanks, was just wondering bc my friend said its bad cuz the teacher doesn’t teach and stuff

[cinder gorge]

If the teacher doesn't teach, you're going to have to self study

But honestly, it's not too hard to self study, all you need to do is stay ahead by like 2 units

Which shuoldn't be a problem

[frigid dust]

What’s hl

I’m taking bio h next year

[cinder gorge]

Higher Level

theres SL and HL in ib

[frigid dust]

O

I’m not taking an aps next year besides maybe world history

[cinder gorge]

Wiat nvm

sorry

i confused u with someone

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

SORRY 😭

[frigid dust]

Oh lol

Wait so

Ur saying ap world isn’t that bad right

[cinder gorge]

Yeah it's not that bad

Just make sure to study continously

[frigid dust]

Okay

[cinder gorge]

[willow mesa]

Should I take ap lit or English IV H after ap lang

[lone lion]

lit for ivy and above average pathway

english 4 H for the standard / average pathway

[willow mesa]

Most people at my school are saying ap lit is hard since you have to do lots of reading so I guess it’s more for people who like to read

[willow mesa]

So which one ?

[lone lion]

??

im not you..

decide yourself lol

[willow mesa]

Guess I’ll see by meeting the ap lit teacher at my school to see if the work is actually super hard or if it’s more moderate but not easy

[abstract gulch]

what is more worth ap go/apmacro or ap lit

[lone lion]

depends what u value more??!!

😭

[honest kettle]

Im taking 6 IB clases next year what would be the best APs to fill my last 2 classes with

[lone lion]

if u want to commit death then do that

[honest kettle]

If im not first Im last

[lone lion]

ok 💀 go you!! 💀

[honest kettle]

nah Im jk but for real I feel like my ecs are lacking and im not having any difficulty in my academics so I think I want to add some APs in my schedule.

[lone lion]

6 IBs arent difficult?!! 🤨

[honest kettle]

IG so, I havent taken them yet but i guess Im just not worried because I know all of my future IB teachers really well and they are all great + helpfull. also rn I have PE activities and weight lifting in the two open spots which I dont need with my sports.

[twilit fulcrum]

is the IBDP worth it

i want to do business/finance/eco in future

but people say bm in IBDP is absolutely useless when u have eco HL

[harsh hedge]

Bro do engineers actually only do CAD now?

or is that only for the remote engineers

[scarlet notch]

I need some help choosing some highschool classes for next year as a freshman any suggestions

[cinder gorge]

what cvourses are available?

i'd say take the hardest courses possible

[cinder gorge]

are you doing HL

[dense pond]

its a whole lot of work

like 2 hrs a day of only notes

it depends on the school and teachers

[solemn hamlet]

APs or IB classes will never make up for ECs

Especially if you wanna go to a competitive uni

For T50s and above, ECs > GPA

[inland mica]

What are some future proof majors/jobs and courses necessary and clubs that help and are that are scattered between:

tech —> comp sci, software engineering/developer, programmer etc

Sci ——> all the science fields like chemistry or physics or science and engineering related like comp sci

Engineering —> Mech engineering, Civil engineering (not sure), chemical engineering, software or hardware related, and aerospace engineering

Is there is any clubs or majors/jobs that have to do with math, include that too

Thxs or all and any advice that you give, I appreciate it!

[solemn hamlet]

There is a limit to something being interdisciplinary, but if you consider software engineering to be a type of engineering then there's computational biology or bioinformatics

Computer science or computational research seems to be what you're looking for, p much ticks all ur boxes

[elfin hill]

My friend wants to know if these classes will be rigorous for junior year

AP Seminar
Alg 2-1 (accelerated)
Physics 1-1(accelerated)
World History 1(accelerated)
Spanish 4 Honors
Art 1

[solemn hamlet]

For junior year?

Algebra 2?

[elfin hill]

Yes my friend didn’t really care about academics freshman year nor 8th grade so he didn’t get to skip a level in math

He plans after junior year

To do pre calculus over the summer

And do calculus 1-1 senior year

Thoughts?

[solemn hamlet]

Well, why do they want a rigorous curriculum? If it's rigorous for them

[rain dome]

Alg2 is a junior year subject??

[elfin hill]

He wanted me to review his classes

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah, Algebra is an HS class

[solemn hamlet]

Like alg 1

[rain dome]

I know that but I didn't know it was a junior year subject

[elfin hill]

Because he wants to bump up some rigor in his classes

[solemn hamlet]

Algebra 1 is supposed to be taken freshman year

[solemn hamlet]

Well, then it sounds like it's rigorous for him

[rain dome]

Our school follows an accelerated program I think then

[elfin hill]

Same

[rain dome]

Normal class is geometry freshman year

Algebra 2 enriched is our advanced freshman class

[solemn hamlet]

Yeah p much every school does

[rain dome]

i mean it makes sense

[solemn hamlet]

But algebra is a HS class, even if most people take it in MS now

[rain dome]

me personally they should make multivariable calc a hs class but thats just me

[solemn hamlet]

Collegeboard would sue that school district

[empty pagoda]

Why?

[solemn hamlet]

CLEP

[empty pagoda]

??

[solemn hamlet]

CLEP --> Multivariable calculus exam --> profit for collegeboard
If Multivariable calculus was offered as a standard HS class they wouldn't profit anymore

[empty pagoda]

ohhhh

but don’t u hv to pay for AP exam?

[solemn hamlet]

Oh, do you mean like a Multivariable calc AP? There isn't enough demand for that

[little hollow]

What’s an SAT?

[empty pagoda]

A test..

[little hollow]

Oh

[solemn hamlet]

What grade ru in?

[solemn hamlet]

0?

[empty pagoda]

Ur in North America too…

[little hollow]

Not in high school

[solemn hamlet]

0h grade?

[solemn hamlet]

NA isn't just the US

[solemn hamlet]

Exactly, what grade 🤔

[little hollow]

That info remains undisclosed

I needed help with the star test not an SAT

[empty pagoda]

Yeah but most people who are in this server who r in NA r from the US or Canada

[solemn hamlet]

Bro you know that it'd be less sus if u lied

[empty pagoda]

STAAR?

[little hollow]

Ya

[empty pagoda]

The Texan State Exam???

[solemn hamlet]

Sounds like an elementary school test 💀

[empty pagoda]

It’s middle school

Too

I took it a couple days ago

[solemn hamlet]

Lmao

[empty pagoda]

he’ll

Hell*

U sit there for 5 hours 😭😭

it’s so stupid

[solemn hamlet]

Why do you need to give it then

[empty pagoda]

State Exam.. requirement

Or else you get put into Labs and tutorials

[solemn hamlet]

Middle school leaving exam?

[empty pagoda]

No yearly

Ever since 3rd grade

And then for high school it’s EOC

[solemn hamlet]

Mk so since they don't know about it they must be in 3rd grade

[empty pagoda]

which is basically same thing different name

[empty pagoda]

No he said he needed help with the Star test

[solemn hamlet]

Ok nvm brain explosions will occur

[gleaming ridge]

Hi, I want to decide if I should take some spares or fill them up with AP computer science classes.

For context, my school follow a semester system, with students being able to take 4 classes a semester and one full year morning class. I have 7 classes, one being a morning class, and hopefully 3 each semester, leaving me with 2 spares.

The thing is, computer science classes are great grade boosters and it would be nice to have more APs under my belt, however, I also don't want to overwhelm my schedule.

I was going to have a spare this year (I'm a junior) but decided to take Biology 2 to get another mandatory leaving examination out of my way. It was a great decision as it helped me decide which major I wanted to go into.

I do want to take some computer science electives in university, but 1, I can't minor in computer science since I'll be applying for an honors degree, and 2, the classes I'll get credit for aren't ones I'm even taking because I'm doing mostly robotics classes that for some reason have different prerequisites than other comp sci streams.

Also, I'll be taking the national biology olympiad next year, and since I'll have to study for that, would it be a good idea to take the biology AP exam without taking the class? It was too late for me to switch to AP this year, but since I'll have finished the course and will be reviewing anyways, is that a good idea?

[pale hornet]

how hard is ap lang?

[gleaming ridge]

It's definitely a jump from the level of writing and reading comprehension you have to do, but I'd say it's interesting and useful.

[rare fiber]

Hi, I'm a rising freshman, and my high school offers APUSH for 9th graders. However, I'm going to a magnet school, so the math and science classes are more rigorous (I'm fairly good at STEM so I don't think it will be extremely challenging but there will a lot of work from those classes). Should I select for APUSH next school year?

[wraith scarab]

how hard is ap lit?

[willow mesa]

I have the same question but if you like reading and answering questions a lot while reading I think you won’t struggle much

I’m doing AP lang rn but AP lit is slightly different and idk if I should take it becuase other people said it was difficult

I’m kind of stuck in between since others are saying it’s hard but at the same time it’s similar to AP lang

[wraith scarab]

my only reason to take it is for a gpa raise

[willow mesa]

ah

[wraith scarab]

but i am somewhat good at reading

[willow mesa]

Idk you could switch it to English IV H then

Also the books are going to contain lots of pages I think

Do you like reading long. Old

[willow mesa]

AP helps for college app and skipping intro courses in college I think

[wraith scarab]

my school does lit before lang (im a junior next year)

[willow mesa]

Strange I’m doing lang junior year and I might do lit senior year depending on certain factors

If I take lit I’m doing 5 APS next year I’m doing 3 APS rn tho

So again I might cut it down to 4 depending on certain factors

[wraith scarab]

im not doing any aps this year but im already taking apush and ap stats

next year

[willow mesa]

I’m taking ap env or ap euro since I might switch one of those into AP art

[willow mesa]

Or I’ll take both if I fail APUSH and AP BIO

Like the exam

[wraith scarab]

ap lit is probably not going to count for college credit its only good for gpa boost for me since i want to do engineering in college

ap lang will though

its just my school that does lit before lang other schools in my city do lang before lit

[willow mesa]

But if I fail the ap lang exam I might do ap lit

[wraith scarab]

i might just do honors english classes junior year then take ap lang senior

a lot of people are complaining about the class in my school

i plan on doing apush and ap stats junior year, then ap calc ab, physics c mech, and chem senior year

[willow mesa]

Ok

[willow mesa]

Also some of the AP courses might be required since my school requires it regardless tho

I’ll have to discuss on Monday just to make sure with my counselor

[wraith scarab]

alright

[wraith scarab]

is lang hard tho?

im good at essays but hate reading

[willow mesa]

Nah it’s mostly writing

[wraith scarab]

ah

[willow mesa]

Oh don’t take lit then

Rhetorical analysis, argument, and synthesis essay is what you prepare for throughout the year

But yeah there will be writing projects to do like essays for certain things

And you’ll do a lot of MCQ as well which will be in the exam too

[wraith scarab]

alright

thanks for the advice

[willow mesa]

Yup

I might take DE COMP II instead of AP Lit next year

But I will see depending on if AP lit is possible to outcome

[willow mesa]

Either comp or English IV H

Is it possible to take a dual enrollment after AP or no

[steel hawk]

Depends if you like history or not. If you are just in it for the gpa boost then the class will be hell for you. The difficulty of the class depends on the teacher but usually the course load is heavy.

[hot matrix]

My school do not even offer APs before senior year…

[sullen hearth]

trash school

[hot matrix]

And we are not even allowed to take a full schedule for 10th grade

I think they’re short on budget or something

This is stressful 🥲

[willow mesa]

I’m taking AP lang rn and I’m unsure of if I want to take AP lit or not so in case I don’t am I able to take English IV H or DE COMP II instead?

[fickle blade]

why's that? its not your fault

[pale hornet]

how hard is it compared to english 2

[willow mesa]

I’m taking AP lang rn and it’s not super bad honestly just a lot of writing like essays which aren’t to hard

[willow mesa]

I’ve taken eng II H and the only difference really is the amount of writing assignments and writing itself that you do so if your able to keep up with it try it out

Only thing that’s probably hard is the exam

(Kinda obvious) but the class assignments have decent due dates and it’s not insanely hard but it does have a bit of a kick to it

[pale hornet]

like how many essays per month?

[willow mesa]

Depends on the teacher I think

Idk if it is every month but you do work on writing for small texts for a few weeks

Check collegeboard

[zealous raft]

hi

[errant stratus]

once im 18 month after starting senior year should i try to change my classes to the ones i want without parents notice?

[zealous raft]

hmm

[errant stratus]

(they might notice if they see report card of sorts or such but ye idk)

[zealous raft]

do the classes you want to do

dont let your parents decide it for you

thats js messed up

[errant stratus]

wanna take idk pe, animal science, surrvey of ag etc

[zealous raft]

yeah i

[errant stratus]

they have to until im 18

[zealous raft]

oh srs?

[errant stratus]

yep

[zealous raft]

thats so weird

[errant stratus]

school counselor told me

[zealous raft]

anyways yeah switch to the classes that you want to do

[errant stratus]

ok

i hope i'll be able to change em for at least the 2nd semester if i cant do the 1st

[zealous raft]

yeah

[pale hornet]

so what do I need to be good st to take ap lang?

[willow mesa]

Main thing is you want to be good at writing a formal essay

And that includes having a good claim, body, and conclusion

To break it down a bit you need a good intro and thesis when it come to writing in ap lang and sub claims with body paragraphs that provide small quotes of evidence with lots of commentary (aka reasoning)

The conclusion should kind of tie back to the thesis as well I think

You’ll learn more about this when you sign up for the course

[willow mesa]

Oh also I think the pre requisites of ap lang are ap seminar and ap research but I don’t think it’s required those are just recommendations to help you prep

[willow mesa]

Actually pre requisite is required but it might vary depending on your school

Nvm they don’t have any I think

[willow mesa]

Your school might need a requirement beforehand so talk with your counselor I searched this online

Hi, I’m taking AP lang rn and I’m unsure of if I want to take AP lit or not so in case I don’t am I able to take English IV H or DE COMP II instead?

[lone lion]

bruh why ru asking ppl if they arent from ur school

😭

most likely u can lower levels??..

[willow mesa]

dawg cuz I’m bad at naming decision I need advice

[lone lion]

if u can handle it take ap lit lol

If not dont

Its that simple

[willow mesa]

ok but is there a negative to not doing it

That’s why I can’t decide

If I take it it could be too hard but then it might be bad to not take it at the same trike

[lone lion]

yeah? Then u dont have an extra ap class-

this is also common sense dont overthink

[gleaming ridge]

I got a bit higher on AP Lang surprisingly, but I'd say the time constraints for essays are more strict and the reading comp is more difficult.

[willow mesa]

If I take lit I do5 ap classes so is it bad to only do 4 if I remove it

[manic spire]

hey everyone if i dont give ap exams my chances of getting into ivy gonna decrease ?

[willow mesa]

Yes but I’m making sure I don’t miss any opportunities

[solemn hamlet]

lower weighted GPA

[robust kelp]

its is not entirely dependent on it but its preffered if you do take them. although you should keep in mind that ivy colleges dont only look into the ap classes. just focus on the overall gpa academics and extracurricular activities for now

[willow mesa]

By a lot or no?

Cuz I’m only taking one dual enrollment so would that hurt my GPA a lot

Hold on does DE give extra points to your grade like honors (3 points) and AP (5 points)

[half kayak]

what are some tips for a student who is supposed to take AP gov next year?

[solemn hamlet]

yeah, that's basically weighted gpa

your school might not do it but colleges will

[willow mesa]

Ok if my school does it would I get 3 extra pints like honors

[solemn hamlet]

For most colleges, 4.0 in AP = 5.0
4.0 in honors = 5.0
4.0 in DE = 5.0

[willow mesa]

Also does one dual enrollment in my entire high school year affect my course rigor or no

Cuz I’ve taken mostly APs but if I take one dual enrollment is my course rigor impacted severely when colleges look at that

[willow mesa]

Ah ok

So I don’t think it would hurt my course rigor too much then right?

Cuz if I pass the ap lang exam I don’t think I necessarily need to do the ap lit exam

I looked online and most colleges look at lang and lit as one, on top of that they mostly value lang more then lit as well

So therefore if I pass with a good score in lang like 3-5 then I don’t have to take it

But does that mean a dual enrollment course affects my overall course rigor in high school years or no

By a lot

[willow mesa]

No ik the weighted is 5.0 but like do you get 3 extra points to your course grade or 5 like the ap courses

[bright hamlet]

Yooo, how's everyone doing, i had a question in mind for choosing my career path (i am currently in 11th Grade)

I personally really like the field of Computational Biology and hoping to make intrest into a career

However upon going through the future aspects etc, i found out that the pay and other benifits (Atleast with India in mind) are comparatively not as good as a conventional career path of a doctor yk - MBBS then MD/MS/DNS

I wanted to know-

• about reaserch after MBBS and the Best career path for reaserch after MBBS in terms of future scope and renumeration

• And if going the conventional way,
  MBBS the MD/MS then specialisation etc will be a more rewarding path?

• Lastly, if let's say I become a doctor after MBBS and MD:MS Can i do reaserch along with clicinal work and how would the pay and stress etc be then?

Appreciate any guidance and support :D

[violet dagger]

if more money is a big priority to you, then don't go to computational biology

I cant rly help u on the other parts bc idk much about how the indian education system works sorry

[mellow mica]

i need help

i’m in 8th grade and next year i’m scheduled to take ap com aci and bc math analysis every other class im taking honors

i’m not sure whether or not to take honors bio

[desert fern]

What significance would space sciences hold in the forseeable future? The scope is massive for this field and the trajectory for it shows no sign of slowing down. Any other astronomy/astrophysics and other space science enthusiasts here?

[mellow mica]

???

[bright hamlet]

what would u rather suggest

[bright hamlet]

thank u so much for responding doe, no worries

[violet dagger]

well ig if MBBS pays well then do that. idk how competetive that might be tho. or how in-demand it is in india. would u be willing to study that much to heal ppl?

[hybrid cave]

Is taking music in high school first year okay or should i focus on classes related my desired course?

[violet dagger]

its okay its not a bad thing

if u want to take it then take it

[hybrid cave]

Ty

Desired career*

[gleaming ridge]

Is is better to take the two computer science APs or two spares in my senior year?

I'm not majoring or minoring in CS as I'm doing an honors degree, and the classes I am taking aren't ones I can pass out of with the ap exams anyways.

But it is easy marks and more ap exams under my belt

[nocturne hinge]

Can i take 5 APs senior year?

They would AP Calc BC, AP Physics 2, AP European History, AP Lit, & AP French Lang

[abstract gulch]

Do i need to take both normal bio and chem before AP bio? Or do i only need normal bio

[willow mesa]

Normal bio probably only

[marsh wyvern]

theres chem in unit 1 of ap bio

[willow mesa]

Yeah if you can handle the heat

[marsh wyvern]

im taking ap bio next year with a corequisite of chem

[willow mesa]

Ap bio is pretty hard

[marsh wyvern]

but just learn that portion of ap bio that has chem in it over the summer to prep for it

[willow mesa]

The main takeaway from my experience to you is that it’s important to stay consistent with studying

[willow mesa]

Idk about ap lit but if you like reading go for it!

[frigid dust]

What aps should u take in freshman year

[abstract gulch]

Human Geo

[coarse sigil]

human geo, apes, and ap pysch or popular among freshman aps

[fickle wedge]

Is there any point in getting AP capstone?

[sullen hearth]

id take ap world history but

I have a question

Do you need a physics background to take either of the physics C's

do they expect u to know physics 1 &2]

Oh

yeah cuz at my school the pre-req is calc

How hard are these aps?: Physics 1, physics 2, Physics C E&m and physics C mechanics

I think ima take physics C senior year, i'd think that'd be beneficial for me in the future

yeah im prob not doing engineering, i'd wanted to go into medicine

yeah im takin chem next yr

ap

and ap bio junior

yr

[lone lion]

yes 💀

obviously??

😭

why would u be restricted in high school

[fickle wedge]

The AP capstone diploma

Completing AP seminar and AP research

Is getting AP capstone diploma any use for colleges

[tiny ginkgo]

aphug or apcsa or apes

id say do 2 max.. i did 1 💀

cuz its freshman year

[lone lion]

let him cook

[steel hawk]

Yes, as long as you have room in your schedule. It’s your money.

[stray mural]

yeah ur cooked

ur major is cs

lol

and ur course selection looks mad difficult

where r u trying to apply

yeah ur cooked

i know someone with 1600 4.0 12 APs internship research etc. etc. and got rejected from all ivies and ucb

so don't get your hopes up is all im saying

no they had cracked essays

and they had pretty good extra curriculars

they started essays in June lmao

no just dont try to go to an ivy league for cs

or at least dont think ur gonna get in

you can try to shotgun ig

lol y

yeah

what year r u

wtf

good luck i didn't care abt college until like pretty recently

y lol

us colleges r good

you aint gettin in

yeah oxford is just as competitive as ivy

[wraith scarab]

same

[stray mural]

oxford??

ur trolling now ay

oxford international is probably more selective

just go to us colleges they better anyway

also most people who start worrying abt college in freshman have no life and are fake asf

[lone lion]

what

no?

they just want a good future my guy

😭

they arent "fake asf"

[stray mural]

yes they are

[lone lion]

no?

[stray mural]

they run for every leadership role then do nothing

[lone lion]

?? thats a product of ur own experience

[wraith scarab]

will i get into a somewhat good college if i start taking all honors/ap classes junior and senior year

[lone lion]

because most ppl do stuff in leadership

[stray mural]

yeah ig

[lone lion]

lmao

good luck 💀

[lone lion]

bruh just take rigorous classes

[stray mural]

nah i mean doing everything for college apps like they life is college

[lone lion]

if u worded it like that then maybe

[stray mural]

they doing random bs and then hyping it up on they admission

[lone lion]

see thats different than what u said 😭

[stray mural]

just to get rejected

[stray mural]

well people who start worrying abt college super early tend to be like college obssessed

[wraith scarab]

ik ive been taking regular classes freshman and sophomore year and im wondering if i start taking them junior it would affect my chances

[stray mural]

lowkey like 2 more APs isn't make or break just have a somewhat course rigor ig

[arctic quest]

guys should i go into computer sci and editing w premier pro etc?

[lone lion]

yes obvi

[stray mural]

sure like wha am i supposed ot say

[lone lion]

?

bro

its up to u

why ru asking us

[wraith scarab]

depends if ur instate or out of state

[lone lion]

no

ish

[arctic quest]

whats the point of this channel then...

[lone lion]

bro u literally asked

[stray mural]

its course selection

[lone lion]

"should I do this"

[wraith scarab]

purdue in state is cheap asf

[lone lion]

without any detail

how does that help at all

Its like asking

[stray mural]

maybe make decision 4 urself

[lone lion]

"hey should I take ap bio"

[arctic quest]

what should i say

[stray mural]

"hey should i go to school tmrw"

[arctic quest]

yes u should

[lone lion]

that decision is ur own

the pathway for web dev and all that is complex lol

[stray mural]

ask someone who knows abt what that is like an industry professional or something

[lone lion]

javascript is good

[arctic quest]

what makes more money computer sci or doctor

[lone lion]

depends

[stray mural]

doctor

[lone lion]

u def going off topic 💀

nice

good to have some ecs

[stray mural]

gambler makes the most actually

[lone lion]

it depends

[arctic quest]

whats the easiest class?

does coop give you money

how do you get marked in coop

[wraith scarab]

99% of gamblers quit before they win big

[steel hawk]

Is college English difficult? I am planning to do duel enrollment and I am interested in taking an English class but I am awful at essay writing.

[wraith scarab]

you can try to get better at it but if you still aren’t then you probably shouldn’t be taking it

i also plan on taking dual credit english too and from what ive heard its a lot of writing

[steel hawk]

Man I don’t know what I’m going to do in college then 😭, thx tho

[arctic quest]

do kinesology

[lone lion]

bro what

💀

[arctic quest]

bro has hatred against me

[solemn hamlet]

They meant like they're gonna find English difficult in college, not asking about major 😭

[arctic quest]

bros name says it all

[solemn hamlet]

Bro's name is mute

[arctic quest]

huh

[willow mesa]

Yo if I take one DE class out of all my high school years does that affect my college application a lot or no?

I’ve been taking lots of APs and I want to keep a balance in between

I want to challenge myself but also not over do it yk

[lone lion]

if u take only 1 not really its still good tho

[willow mesa]

ok so it won’t be affected super badly?

Cuz I want to make myself look challenging but idk if taking one would’ve effected my challenging aspect of taking rigorous courses

[lone lion]

dual enrollment is challenging tho?

it shows colleges u can take more courses and can handle academic rigor

[willow mesa]

Ik but from what I’ve heard online they accept ap more then de

I guess it depends tho so technically you’ve got a point regardless

Alright thanks for the tip in that case

[lone lion]

Ap is more regarded

[willow mesa]

Ik but is it fine if I replace one ap class with de

[lone lion]

sure

depends on how relevant the ap class is

if the de is more towards ur major u should take the de

[weak token]

it's perfectly fine, do note that AP is more well-known and college classes tend to be a little easier for the most part, do understand that DE credits may not transfer, but you can always take the equivalent AP exam to fish out its credit, so its completely dependent on the class and your application

[willow mesa]

It’s for English class the AP course btw and it’s required I think

[lone lion]

oh yeah def take ap lang/lit

[willow mesa]

I took lang and I heard colleges look at lang and lit as kind of one

So I’m doing lang rn

[lone lion]

ooh

well

u dont need lit as much if ur de is more relevant

[weak token]

lit be like

[willow mesa]

And ap lit is heavy reading which isn’t my thing yk

[lone lion]

otherwise lit is still very good

[willow mesa]

Yes

[weak token]

Just do Lang, its not too bad and it often accepted by many classes

[willow mesa]

That’s what people basically told@me it feels like

[willow mesa]

Yeah

So I’ll take DE COMP II instead of AP lit

[weak token]

DE only goes to some state uni by chances so I wouldnt count on it

[willow mesa]

Um what should I take then I’m confused

[weak token]

Lang

[willow mesa]

Im doing lang already

I have ap lit that I can do or a de comp II class or English IV H classs to choose from

For my English section of the course selection

[weak token]

ap lit it then

[willow mesa]

But people at my school are saying it’s hard

Also I didn’t do lit this year cuz my school said it was for 12th grade not 11th which is what I’m in rn

[wraith scarab]

i like reading when a teacher is not shoving 50 assignments on the book

sometimes i read for fun but as soon as a teacher assigns work i dont want to do it makes me want to hate the book

[bronze mantle]

Should I take ap bio or take bio at pseo?

[willow mesa]

So will you be doing ap lit then?

[wraith scarab]

ill ask someone in the class at my school

[willow mesa]

Ok I should probably ask someone at my school who’s done it as well to see

[wraith scarab]

i dont like it when teachers assign too much work on the book so ap lit is dependent on the teacher

[willow mesa]

Or meet the ap lit teacher at my school to see what kind of assignments will be done throughout the year

[willow mesa]

Yea

My school offers basic English courses but the top courses probably are ap lit, eng 4 h, and de comp I/II

[wraith scarab]

i took regular english 9th and 10th instead of honors but it is not required to take honors to do ap lit or dual enrollment english

honors english teachers sucked so i didnt take them

[willow mesa]

Other courses are regular English and ELD which is English development

[willow mesa]

These 2 suck

So that leaves me with AP Lit, Eng IV H, and DE Comp I/II

[wraith scarab]

regular english is too easy for me

[willow mesa]

Yeah

[wraith scarab]

i still manage to get high grades on reading tests only from sparknotes in regular english but i want to challenge myself a bit

[willow mesa]

So these are the English courses

[wraith scarab]

my school offers a lot of 1 semester english courses

like film literature or american lit

[willow mesa]

You see where I’m going with this cuz there’s only top 3 to choose from since the rest are basically worthless

[willow mesa]

Yeah

[wraith scarab]

i think 3 is a good amount of aps idk why im worrying

coming from taking 0 in freshman/ sophomore year

[willow mesa]

Yeah if I do lit I’m taking 5 APS but without it I’m doing 4

However I’m concerned that if I take DE instead it will be a waste

[wraith scarab]

do you plan on going to college in state

[willow mesa]

Cuz AP lit might make things overwhelming combined with other 4 AP classes

[willow mesa]

Not sure but I might depending on certain factors

I think having one DE tho wouldn’t hurt

Since I’m only taking one dual enrollment in my time at high school

[wraith scarab]

if ap lit is alright at my school then i will take it then

[willow mesa]

Yeah it all boils down to that

[wraith scarab]

im taking 5 dual enrollment courses

[willow mesa]

Plus if I take one DE I’m still taking like 4 AP classes

Ah

ok

[wraith scarab]

in the course of my 4 years of high school

[willow mesa]

I’ll have to talk with my counselor and see if he can get me an opportunity to maybe meet with the lit teacher

[willow mesa]

In my 4 years I’m going to take 11/12 ap classes I think

[wraith scarab]

ill look at my schools website for an ap lit curriculum

[bronze mantle]

Should I take ap biology or dual enrollment biology?

[wraith scarab]

6-7 for me and my school offers 17

[wraith scarab]

dual enrollment if you want to stay in state for college

[bronze mantle]

I’m undecided

[wraith scarab]

ap if you want a gpa raise or go out of state

[bronze mantle]

It’s really hard to figure out what I wanna do 😭

[wraith scarab]

id take ap bio since the credit will be taken by more colleges

[bronze mantle]

Alright

[willow mesa]

De if you stay in state AP if you go out

[bronze mantle]

Any dual enrollment class recommendations?

I want to try at least one out

[bronze mantle]

Alright

[willow mesa]

I’m in the same shoes

I want to take one de class as well

[wraith scarab]

if ur at higher level in math then take de calc 1

[willow mesa]

But some people are telling me it’s fine while others are saying colleges won’t accept it

My brain is kind of fried in deciding what’s best

[bronze mantle]

Gotta take pre calc next year 😭

[willow mesa]

What year you in

[bronze mantle]

Fr

I’m in 10th grade

[willow mesa]

Same

Wait

Nvm mb im 11th

[wraith scarab]

im taking precalc as a junior next year

precalc is de at my school

[bronze mantle]

Me too

[willow mesa]

Taking pre calculus in senior year

[bronze mantle]

😭

[willow mesa]

😂

[bronze mantle]

Dang

Tryna take ap Lang and ap bio but idk what I should take for de

[wraith scarab]

i plan on staying instate i only take ap either because my school dosent offer a de alternative or gpa raise

[bronze mantle]

Maybe world history if they offer it

[bronze mantle]

Ohh that makes sense

[wraith scarab]

my school dosent offer de statistics so im taking ap stats

[bronze mantle]

I heard ap stats wasn’t too bad

[wraith scarab]

2 math classes in 1 year wont be hard

[wraith scarab]

i got teacher recommendation for that class

[willow mesa]

Ok atleast ik DE is better than Honors so really for my English course I simply have to decide if I’ll do DE COMP II or AP LIT

[bronze mantle]

You’re doing stats and alg 2 rn?

[wraith scarab]

stats and precalc next year

[bronze mantle]

Ohhhh

[wraith scarab]

sorry i worded it wrong

people tell me i should take ap stats as a senior but it honestly dosent seem that bad

[bronze mantle]

Shouldn’t be too bad

[wraith scarab]

ap stat apush and potentially ap lit shouldnt be too hard

[bronze mantle]

A push looked like so much work

Glad I didn’t take it

[wraith scarab]

i took regular english 9th and 10th grade so i may not be prepared for lit

[bronze mantle]

Yeah me too

I’m trying to take ap Lang tho

Since lit isn’t there until senior year I think

[wraith scarab]

people complain more about honors us history more than apush

[bronze mantle]

Fr?

[wraith scarab]

my school does lit before lanf

lang*

[bronze mantle]

All I hear is the apush kids complaining in my ear 😭

[willow mesa]

Mine does lang before lit

[bronze mantle]

Me too

[willow mesa]

I feel like doing lit first would’ve been easier to decide since I could switch to an easier course after

[bronze mantle]

Makes sense

[wraith scarab]

my school requires people to have an A in regular world history to do apush

[bronze mantle]

I might ask my counselor to change my schedule but I feel bad for always asking her to change my stuff 😭

[wraith scarab]

apush has a high fail rate because most people that take it arent that good at history

[bronze mantle]

Are you in a public school?

[bronze mantle]

Yeah

[wraith scarab]

yes

[bronze mantle]

Dang

[willow mesa]

Don’t your schedule is important to you and they understand that

Don’t feel bad* sorry

[bronze mantle]

Yeah I guess so

[wraith scarab]

ive already changed my schedule once already

[willow mesa]

I kinda felt the same way constantly talking to my counselor but you have to realize it’s pretty important for You

[bronze mantle]

I’ve literally done it every year

Might be cooked

[willow mesa]

This my first year doing it

[bronze mantle]

You’re right

Anyways ima head to bed

[willow mesa]

I have to get in touch with my counselor I have almost 1 month of school left for junior year

[bronze mantle]

My sleep is important too 😏

[wraith scarab]

i took way too easy classes sophomore year so im worrying about course rigor

[bronze mantle]

1 month?!?!

Cya guys

[willow mesa]

Yeah I’m gettting less than 7 hours of sleep since I’ve been worried sick about my English course

[willow mesa]

Cya I’ll talk with my counselor tomorrow hopefully or sooon

[wraith scarab]

same

[bronze mantle]

Yeah you should

[willow mesa]

He’s kinda busy

[bronze mantle]

Bro me too oml

[bronze mantle]

I just get less sleep cause of social media 😔

[willow mesa]

I go to his office it’s locked and I can’t wait for a long time since I have to transition. For classes

[willow mesa]

Me to but mostly because of other things happening as well

[willow mesa]

I need help deciding whether I do dual enrollment English composition II or ap English literature composition

[abstract gulch]

Me casually getting 6 hours of sleep as an 8th grader💀

[dim stump]

thats not healthy tf what are u even doing to get that little sleep in middle school

[willow mesa]

How

[abstract gulch]

Idk

I just don’t get sleepy until 2

I feel drowsy if i sleep more than 8 hours

[dim stump]

dude actually pls get some sleep you’ll be staying up forcibly so much more if you’re taking hard classes later on

ive been stuck for like 40 minutes on one of my calc HW problems

[abstract gulch]

I should

But i just can’t

I just wake up after like 6 hours

[willow mesa]

Soviet Onion are you able to help with this by any chance

[dim stump]

u in FL?

for dual enrollment

[willow mesa]

Florida?

[dim stump]

yeah idk about class names in other states but my dual enrollment english is also called english composition

[willow mesa]

Oh I’m not in Florida but we have a thing called DE COMP II and AP Lit

For English courses

[dim stump]

huh

[abstract gulch]

I wish I was good enough to even consider taking honors english

[dim stump]

well idk i’m still a sophomore taking english II

and im only taking english comp 1 next year so

[willow mesa]

oh ok

All good

[abstract gulch]

Should I take honors english? I barely qualified for the course next year.+I never read lol

[willow mesa]

Yeah and also it’s not a lot of reading I took English II H during sophomore it’s pretty easy

Hi, I need help deciding whether I do dual enrollment English composition II or ap English literature composition since people at my school are saying AP lit is hard but at the same I’m not sure if taking one dual enrollment class is affecting my college applications since someone said it might

[abstract gulch]

Hmmm

Ok

I’ll give it a try and see how it goes

I just need a C to get qualified for honors sophomore english🗿

[broken fjord]

I am taking algebra 2 next year

but it might be possible to do it over the summer

should I?

[wide shuttle]

yo

I just chose AP Seminar without actually knowing about it

I was thinking I could do some scientific research in the class

Am I wrong?

and what do you think about take ap calc without pre calc first

[solemn hamlet]

Like are you self studying precalc?

I wouldn't recommend skipping pre calc entirely, at most just take it in the summer

[coral crane]

U should, u will use time efficiently and u will be ahead of class or wtv, or u could go to a harder class which is fun

[solemn hamlet]

Alg2 is an important class and it covers tons of stuff, it's probably not a good idea to do it over the summer, I'd only do it over the summer if u alr know most of the stuff and wanna take calc early

[willow mesa]

Hi, I need help deciding whether I do dual enrollment English composition II or ap English literature composition since people at my school are saying AP lit is hard but at the same I’m not sure if taking one dual enrollment class is affecting my college applications since someone said it might

[ruby adder]

I really want to take molecular biology, but the teacher sucks at my school and teach at all. Should I do it, and just self study with a textbook in class?

[coral crane]

yes

[charred sleet]

No

If possible ask you director to change teacher

[coral crane]

Unfortunately the world doesnt revolve around him and that most probably wont happen so just deal with it I say

[hardy ice]

Im 18... current persuing diploma in electronics and telecommunication 3rd year....but i don't wanna continue engineering after completing my diploma....
I was interested in persuing arts after 10th grade... but ended up for diploma...but don't wanna continue any further....any suggestions for a different path other than engineering?

[solemn hamlet]

It'll affect ur apps, positively

[solemn hamlet]

Electronics and telecommunication is engineering?
There's like 100s of types of engineering

[hardy ice]

Its one of the course for diploma in engineering...in India..

[solemn hamlet]

By diploma, do you mean like a vocational course?

Like a bachelor's is also a diploma, so idrk what u mean 🤔

[hardy ice]

After 10th grade...u have option for either 11th n 12th grade then bachelor's n masters....or... direct diploma after 10th grade then bachelor's n masters...so i choose diploma after 10th grade

Now I don't wanna continue engineering for my bachelor's...n waan do something in arts like psychology n stuff...but i don't even know if its possible or not... but if it is...what choices do i have?

[solemn hamlet]

Well, based on general wisdom you can definitely do your master's in a different subject than your bachelor's and stuff, so you should be able to

[hardy ice]

But here in India....I've heard a lot of ppl say that its not possible to do bachelor's in a different field once u complete ur diploma in engineering...n its stressing me out real bad...

[lone lion]

Dot dot dot

[solemn hamlet]

Well, like I said idrk about your system, I'd advise you to not generalise cus not everywhere in India is the same, but you probably aren't forced to do anything, you might need to give an equivalency exam for HS at most from what I'd think, that's how it works here

[hardy ice]

Okayyy...

Thanks for ur help!!

[cinder gorge]

hi

[solemn hamlet]

https://nohello.net/

[lone lion]

👾

[willow mesa]

Ok so in a good way therefore, thanks

[zealous raft]

is stuco a good idea?

[sullen hearth]

u think AP capstone is worth it

[mighty valve]

Does anyone know if I can take summer classes as a rising 9th grader? @wise forge

[rotund stag]

Is a 4.11 a good gpa to end off freshman yr

[sullen hearth]

idk its not standaridzewd

[solemn hamlet]

As an honor or just the 2 APs?

[sullen hearth]

? wdm as an honor

im just askin if its worth it

[rotund stag]

Wdym

[sullen hearth]

like its not the same across schools

so

[solemn hamlet]

The two classes are at the very least boosting your weighted gpa

[sullen hearth]

im talking about AP Seminar, not research

[solemn hamlet]

How much is an ap and honors class worth at yotu school in terms of weighted gpa

[sullen hearth]

cuz im not takin both i just wanna know if takin one is worth

[solemn hamlet]

That's not ap capstone then that's just ap seminar

[sullen hearth]

oh

[solemn hamlet]

AP capstone is the whole program of both

[sullen hearth]

ohh

[rotund stag]

Honors is regular ap is 5

[solemn hamlet]

Forget gpa, just say what classes you took atp

[sullen hearth]

u didnt answer my question, is ap sem worth it

[rotund stag]

AP human
Algebra 2
9th honors lit
Honors bio
Spanish 2
Health/PE
Band
AP Psych

[solemn hamlet]

Idk about AP seminar much tbh, it also depends on u and the teacher who takes it, I've not really heard any good things about it tho

[sullen hearth]

I wanted to take it but ngl it seems like a lot of busy work

so im prob not

[frigid dust]

think i alr asked this but is it worth taking ap world history as a freshman? ive heard that the teacher doesnt rlly teach and doesnt prepare u well for exams.

[knotty chasm]

Does anyone know which associate degree is best to help me out for pre med school? AAS-Interest in Health, Education, & Wellness (Education, Social Work, Nursing, etc.) OR AAS-Interest in Science, Engineering & Tech (Mechanical Engineering, Computer Sci, Pre-Med, etc.) I was thinking about applying for the second program

[cinder gorge]

guys ima freshman taking these classes

and im thinking of taking these next year

[lone lion]

💀

ur gonna get burnt out guaranteed first few months if you cant manage time

[cinder gorge]

well ive been amazing my freshman year

[lone lion]

key word

ive been

[cinder gorge]

ive managed to keep all 3 quarter grades above 97

[lone lion]

ive

[cinder gorge]

this is my 4th quarter and it IS going good

[lone lion]

cool

[cinder gorge]

but i wanted to take my SAT in my sophomore year

and idk if thats a good idea

also idk what to do this summer

[gloomy lotus]

increment your APs over time - there's no rush to take that many APs sophomore year

[lone lion]

bro said SAT

[gloomy lotus]

your grades and course rigor is one part of your application; make sure to focus on other parts

[lone lion]

💀

[shrewd rock]

100%

[cinder gorge]

whast stuco?

[lone lion]

wrong person

[gloomy lotus]

oh shoot

😭

sorry

[lone lion]

"womp womp"

[cinder gorge]

well i like this person

i took 5 this year so im bumping it up to 6 next year

[lone lion]

bro

😭

[cinder gorge]

then ill do 7 and 8 after

[gloomy lotus]

answering the right question, you can try taking your SAT towards the end of sophomore year if you feel comfortable with the math - the deepest you'll go is basic trig. English is really just down to practice

[lone lion]

these freshman

😢

casually takes 20+ aps

tf

[gloomy lotus]

it just gets more and more competitive

unfortunately

[shrewd rock]

wth

[cinder gorge]

lmaoooo yall

[shrewd rock]

😭

im a freshman

and im not allwoed to take any aps lmao

[lone lion]

diff schools

[shrewd rock]

next yr i can take MAX 1 lollll

[lone lion]

its fine lol

[gloomy lotus]

that's fine - colleges take that into account

[lone lion]

just do the highest rigor u can

[shrewd rock]

yeah true

[lone lion]

honestly thats such a better thing

[shrewd rock]

but then theres people pulling up with

[lone lion]

cause u dont need to worry about ur school having alot of aps

[shrewd rock]

umm

26

aps

[lone lion]

oh

[shrewd rock]

by the end of hs

[lone lion]

well

[shrewd rock]

😭

lmao

[frigid dust]

Is ap world history alright?

[lone lion]

its fine

[gloomy lotus]

easily 50-60% of those credits are useless and those people barely have time to build good extracurriculars - it's a burden at that point

[lone lion]

yep

[cinder gorge]

her and i go to the same school and take the same classes

[lone lion]

💀

@cinder gorge wrong class

2025

[cinder gorge]

this wasnt my og acount

[cinder gorge]

wut

[cinder gorge]

yeah i clicked the wrong one and idk how to get rid of it

do i press it again?

[shrewd rock]

mhm hopefully lol

[gloomy lotus]

colleges would much rather you do something useful in your spare time extracurricular wise rather than waste time taking massive amounts of APs or self-studying for exams that won't give you any credit

[cinder gorge]

Clubs: Model UN, FBLA, Medical Club, Speech and Debate, NACLO, Chess Club, Art Club, Book Club, HOSA, etc. (theres a lot more lol)

[frigid dust]

Ur in all that??

[cinder gorge]

i have fun yall dont worry

yall worry about not having enough time but i have my fun

[gloomy lotus]

If it works for you, it works. My point is this isn't average and the whole purpose of AP exams is to get college credit. Spending money and time on AP exams that serve no credit is not useful

I wasn't talking about enjoyment

[shrewd rock]

damn girlie 😭

[cinder gorge]

aps raise ur gpa

[frigid dust]

How’s this for freshman year?
Orchestra
English 1 H
Biology 1 H
Geometry H
AP World History
Latin 1
PE

[shrewd rock]

yeah true

the issue is though my school work is really really rigorous already without aps so ;-;

[gloomy lotus]

most colleges will recalculate gpa in their own way since it's very different across states, counties, schools, etc.

but yes having a high course rigor is helpful

no doubt about it

[frigid dust]

The only other ap I can take as freshman is comp sci principles

[cinder gorge]

yeah thats true but tbh i like the classes i chose regardless of if they were ap or not

[lone lion]

ok

[lone lion]

if its the hardest courses then its good

👍

seems rigorous enough

freshman year ur limited anyway

[frigid dust]

Wdym

[distant jolt]

leadership matters more than being in 218931982 clubs right

[lone lion]

wdym

[cinder gorge]

100 %

[frigid dust]

I mean, I could be in a higher class in math and science

[lone lion]

oops

[lone lion]

its fine

those seem good enough for freshman year

[frigid dust]

(I cant tho cuz of prerequisites)

[lone lion]

base it off ur own pace and what you want lol

[frigid dust]

Ok

[lone lion]

dont compare urself to others

may be the worst thing of academic achievers

💀

comparisons

[frigid dust]

Ok

[lone lion]

ok

ok

ok

[misty panther]

what kinds of classes and extracurriculars look better on an application for a pre-med college track?

[sullen hearth]

i mean i’d cure cancer but if your not into that i’m not sure

[lone lion]

cure cancer

joke

volunteering for medical centers such as hospitals, passion projects for research blah blah

[loud vortex]

Courses for someone interested in both STEM (specifically mechanical engineering and math/physics) and business?

[lone lion]

ap stats

[abstract gulch]

ap calc

[coral crane]

and once ur done with both ab and bc feel free to move on to mvc

[halcyon tulip]

Any good performing or visual arts for one year (UC Requirement)

Incoming Freshman

I could choose a pathway such as Engineering Honors, CS Essentials, Culinary, Law and Mock Trail, or Intro to Business

[abstract gulch]

For me i’m doing 0 period choir to get over it asap

[halcyon tulip]

Which is the best out of these four: Ceramics 1, Digital Arts 1, Media Arts 1, and Guitar

[abstract gulch]

It’s definitely up to your choice

But I think digital art might be the easiest

[halcyon tulip]

ok

[misty panther]

😭😭

[misty panther]

😭😭😭

[misty panther]

okkk thank youuu

[solemn hamlet]

Competitions, research, awards, non profits or startups, passion projects,
Volunteering is hard to get impact with and it's overdone

[empty pagoda]

So r npos 😭

[old rain]

Which course is more fun AP Lang or AP Lit?

[coral crane]

AP Lit

[wide shuttle]

hows ap seminar

[coral crane]

easy

dont u have to take it with ap research tho?

[solemn hamlet]

So are clubs

You can get impact with a non profit if you do something with it

[old rain]

I chose AP Eng Lit, AP Calc, AP Gov, and AP Spanish Lang. Should I replace AP Spanish Lang with a college now course or should I keep it

[solemn hamlet]

How many years of spanish will you have if you replace it

also, is the college now course DE, or smth else?

[old rain]

AP will be my fourth year

[old rain]

Yeah it’s like a city school thing where they offer programs that are the equivalent of a DE college course

[solemn hamlet]

Then it should be fine to switch, I'd take the one you're more interested in
Colleges usually weigh DE equivalent to APs

[old rain]

Thing is there isn’t really a DE course I want to take

Most of the classes they offer are English based or business

[solemn hamlet]

Like I said, take the one you're more interested in, it literally doesn't matter for apps or anything if it's on the same level
If you don't like the DE options just go with the tried and true Spanish Lang

[solemn hamlet]

ghost ping is real

[old rain]

I’ll just take AP Spanish

Thanks for the help

[viral pebble]

How many aps do I need to take each year of hs to get into Ivy

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

[old rain]

@viral pebble the amount of APs is based on how much your school offers. Take as much as you can. Colleges want to see that you can challenge yourself as much as possible based on your school background. They will not penalize you if you school does not offer as much APs as other schools

[viral pebble]

So I should take all 20 aps my school offers @old rain

[old rain]

Your school offers 20 APs?

[viral pebble]

Ye

[old rain]

I wouldn’t say take all

What grade are you in

[viral pebble]

Then how many

9

[old rain]

Take as many as you want

Some students want to take so many

But then they don’t perform well

[viral pebble]

How many is good for Ivy

[old rain]

There isn’t a specific number

But based on your school

10-15

This won’t guarantee to get you into an Ivy but it would be good if you can take this much APs to challenge yourself

Whatever APs you want is up to you

[opal jay]

Anybody have any ideas for a good course plan for TJHSST Freshman

[sullen hearth]

everyone’s talking like they are guaranteed to get into ivies…

[devout topaz]

[abstract gulch]

AP comp sci,Calc,Stat,Physics

[sullen hearth]

Yeah def take physics e&m and any other comp sci classes offered at your school with the max math you can take

[glass bear]

fun fact: our district got rid of AP comp sci

there's only 'computer programming' course offered at a separate building

but not AP

[rare remnant]

next year ill be a sophomore and im taking
english 10 lycuem
algebra 2 honors
acp chemistry
ap world history
Spanish 3

[abstract gulch]

It depends bc my brother said ap chem was harder than ap phys c

[merry cloud]

Chemistry is always harder than Physics, I reckon

[solemn hamlet]

Depends per person, that's for you 🤔

[merry cloud]

Yeah it is for me

[half kayak]

You should take only what you can manage

[coarse sigil]

Dont bite more than what you can chew

Would rather have less AP classes with all 5s rather than 20 ap classes with low ap exam scores

[young sun]

I have the option to take AP calc BC next year, or I can take Calc 1/2 at a local college, which would be better?

[viral pebble]

But they don’t ask exam scores

[sullen hearth]

not tryna go to another country for college ;-;

[sullen hearth]

like Calc 1 and 2 or like half of calculus ?

Cuz i’d def take the one going to college

[young sun]

Calc 1 and Calc 2

[sullen hearth]

Yeah for ivies

if your not tryna go then you don’t gotta have like 50 ecs and cure cancer

I mean it’s not THAT hard
