course-selection

[sullen hearth]

but u could find some where else

👍

Cool

bro like you can’t even have any free time in US legit everything u gotta do must be for the school if your tryna get to a good school

[crude wren]

is any one apply to MIT outside the US

[sullen hearth]

Fr like just rob me bro

Like i might as well commit with all those student loans

[valid elbow]

is precalc honors hard

[sullen hearth]

I mean idk how good u are at math

but from many people Ive heard that AP is easier the normal/honors

but just dpends on the teacher ig

[coral crane]

the opposite u mean?

[crude wren]

i was looking at ETH zurich for aerospace is there any requirements for other languages

[old rain]

I chose AP Lit for my senior year but I haven’t taken AP Lang. Did I make the right choice?

[coral crane]

yes

lit is fun

[sullen hearth]

No

[sullen hearth]

reading is NOT fun

[coral crane]

to u it isnt

AP lit is not just reading😶‍🌫️

[wraith scarab]

is ap lit still fun if you havent taken any honors english classes

im decent at reading, analyzing, and writing, but i would feel out of place considering everyone else in the class has taken honors english

[coral crane]

Yes

I didnt take any

but idk

U might lose interest later on

[sullen hearth]

actually i take that back, i like non fiction reading and historical reading. Reading Class? Nah

[old rain]

What kind of HW do u get

Ik every school is different but what should I expect

[coral crane]

I self studied it

[toxic silo]

when should i stop spanish or should i go all the way to AP Spanish

[violet dagger]

fr

we dont hv as hard academics

but we have ~extracurriculars~

😭

[violet dagger]

usually colleges like to see u finish a series of whatever language ur taking

u should at least go to Spansih 2

[stuck harbor]

How far should I take Latin?

I heard it gets really hard in HS

[violet dagger]

min 2 years

preferably more

[violet dagger]

.

[stuck harbor]

Should I do it AP or just honors?

[empty pagoda]

Colleges like 4 yrs I believe

Of a lang

[sullen hearth]

rather have hard academics ngl

no

[frosty nest]

I'm an incoming freshman ready to apply myself for high placements and rankings. Any suggestions?
Note:
-The English class above is the only one offered. No APs or Honors courses
-World History is usually not required for freshmen, but it is a standard for AVID members

• two electives are offered, one needing to be AVID for me
  -AP Art History is offered, but music is my passion
  -I am also doing track and field, just isn't currently shown above
  Questions:
  Should I go for AP Art History to boost my transcript and academic standing, or should I stick with my passion for music?
  Please give any advice!!

Alright. Do colleges like to see music all 4 years or is it acceptable to not in order to do aps and language?

[coarse sigil]

What?

[frosty nest]

will that still be ok if my gpa is less? isnt it better to have above a 4.0 for top schools

[zinc blaze]

put in some aps

[frosty nest]

👍

[toxic silo]

should i take AP World History or AP Biology in 9th grade? (i want to go to MIT idk if that helps)

[viral pebble]

Colleges don’t ask for a AP exam scores

[coarse sigil]

Would be useful

if your aiming for top t1 schools

Sure if you’re aiming for like community college doesn’t matter

[sullen hearth]

What do u want to be?

[violet dagger]

ehhh personally i like holistic admissions more

and thats bc i acc like my few ecs

and ive given up on tryin to go to an ivy so im less motivated to participate in the rat race like grind

but hey if u like academics more thats good 4 u

[sullen hearth]

At the end of the day, It doesn’t really matter as long as your happy; idrc about ivies either. But i still just try and do good

[solemn hamlet]

They're fine if u take no music at all

That's an elective

[spare copper]

Does anyone have experience with online ap classes? Apparently it's the same curriculum everywhere?

[west island]

does anyone know if this is a good tutoring website for AMC?
https://amcacademy.ca/

[solemn hamlet]

You can basically do private tutoring style classes and then give an AP exam independently if you're not doing them with your school, but there's barely any point to that beside the college credit

[spare copper]

So I'm taking it kinda with my school but it's a different curriculum. It's standardized throughout the district I think. It's completely asynchronous except you take the test in person.

The benefit is that I can avoid annoying teachers which decrease my course load by a lot

[solemn hamlet]

You can't have a different curriculum if it's an AP tho 😭

And wdym asynchronous 😭
How can a class be asynchronous

[spare copper]

Cuz like teachers can teacher whatever they want really. For example, one teacher I had finished the entire ap curriculum in one semester and moved onto random stuff

[solemn hamlet]

Ofc

[spare copper]

It's like reading textbook and taking a test

Or recorded videos

[solemn hamlet]

Does it go on your transcript

[spare copper]

Yeah

Same as every other class

[solemn hamlet]

Then there's no reason not to

[spare copper]

I just wanna know if it's easier lol

[solemn hamlet]

AP exams are only a baseline, teachers are supposed to make up their own course on that basis, the core stuff they teach is the only thing that stays the same, but still that's what the main curriculum is

[spare copper]

Cuz I thought it it's standard through the district it can't be hard

[spare copper]

Yeah I get that but some teachers are very difficult and make it almost impossible to get an A

[solemn hamlet]

Ofc ofc

That's why you always ask someone who took the ap with the teacher before taking it urself

[spare copper]

Yeah

[solemn hamlet]

If the teacher teaches an ap badly like they have a rigorous/ annoying course for it then yeah you probably should take that option

[spare copper]

Ok thanks guess I'll find out the difficulty in two months lol

[covert linden]

Should I continue with honors math junior year or go into regular? How much would it impact my chances of getting into a prestigious school?

For context I'm a sophomore and math is my worst class. I got a B in honors geometry first semester of freshman year and will likely get a B this semester of algebra 2. Other than these 2 instances I've gotten straight As taking honors and AP courses. I also am not planning on going into math at all and I'm a humanities person hoping to major in political science

And according to calculations I've made my weighted gpa would only go down about .3% even if I got A's next year

And my school limits the amount of AP classes you can take so I'd have to choose between science and math for my ap classes senior year anyway

Any advice?

[vestal crypt]

major dependent

[fringe barn]

How hard are these APs (I've never taken an AP before, I'm a freshman right now and these are the ones I'm taking for sophomore)
AP physics 1
AP calc BC
APUSH 1

[coral crane]

i rank these from 1-3?

bc is hard considering u didnt take any aps

so is apush

[slender root]

For any europeans how do APs translate to A levels?

[coral crane]

We have a 1-5 grading system

So a 5 is your 6-9 or 7-9 idk

or prob just 8-9

[slender root]

We have 1-9 for gcses yeah

[coral crane]

ye

[slender root]

Alr fairs

[coral crane]

U can manage physics 1 coz its really not that complicated but u will have a hard time for sure

[fringe barn]

Plus I want to be a physics major so I've already read some of the material just by reading feyman lectures so I'm going in prepared,

[coral crane]

alr if u say so

[spare copper]

it really depends on your teacher, ive taken all three, none of the concepts are hard but i would ask people from your school that took it before.

[fringe barn]

Alright

[spare copper]

its pretty easy to get a 5 on ap exam for calc bc and physics but apush ive had a hard time with

[spare copper]

Hey guys, I plan to take some classes at a local college during the summer. Do colleges look at those classes' gpa? Will they go on my high school transcript

[hollow ermine]

pretty sure they get added to your college transcript

[spare copper]

I'm still in high school tho

[hollow ermine]

yea but its a college class

[spare copper]

Okay

So if I fail it's fine for my college app?

[hollow ermine]

uh i wouldnt recommend failing that

it would effect ur college gpa

[spare copper]

Ok ok

Thank you

[hollow ermine]

ye np

[covert linden]

Ya already planning on comparative Gov (counselor recommended it to me), US gov, AP lit, and then either Bio APES, or Calc

[mortal mesa]

im taking an astronomy course for dual enrollment over the summer but idk which one to take ASTR 1000 or ASTR 1010

i heard 1010 is more labs with more credit

which one should i take?

[lone lion]

take ap stats

over apes or bio

if ur doing political science

dual enrollment poli sci if u can

and take ap micro or macro

those are all for ur major

[covert linden]

Sadly I can't do that many so I gotta choose

[lone lion]

ik

im saying over this year and next year

obvi u cant take all that in a year 😭

[covert linden]

While also trying to maintain subjects per year

Only thing about stats is I'd probs not get to do calculus

[lone lion]

do calc and stats combined

or do calc in school then do a stats course online/self study

pretty sure pol sci does a lot of statistical stuff

not sure

[covert linden]

Ooh that's a good idea

Don't think I'd do ap calc tho

How will that impact my chances at prestigious schools?

[lone lion]

ivy-wise

they want at least calc

top 30-40 its def not needed but strongly recommended

20s similar to 10s

[covert linden]

Does it have to be ap is my question?

[lone lion]

no

but its better

[normal ember]

Rate the course plan (currently a sophomore)

My goal is MIT

[plain hemlock]

Ur getting into MIT bro

Its a good plan

[cinder gorge]

dam

fo sho ur getting in

[normal ember]

Thank you so much guys

[cinder gorge]

congrats bro

[normal ember]

Well I'm not in yet don't start congratulating me 😭

[cinder gorge]

haha lol

[normal ember]

I just posted my ec's in #extracurriculars as well

[cinder gorge]

but ur course plan is mind blowing

[normal ember]

Thank you

[cinder gorge]

your welcome

[normal ember]

My only problem rn is my AP World exam this year

I've been slacking very badly in AP World due to burnout

And I genuinely do not think i will pass

[normal ember]

Oh and let me actually add summer classes

[lone lion]

if your burned out in ap world u cant handle the rest my guy 😭

gotta seriously check your tolerance level of handling classes

[normal ember]

I'm not burned out in AP World specifically

I'm burned out for personal reasons

In my life

School isn't a huge factor in it tbh

[lone lion]

okay so then factor in ur life

if your personal reasons already affect a "difficult" class then what abt the rest of ur years

junior + senior year is hell on top of those classes lol

[normal ember]

I understand and all I'm saying is that I am putting measures in place to prevent and handle my life with my other classes

Been going through some serious mental health shit and

I think that I'm finally almost done with that

I trust myself and am confident in myself to handle my junior and senior years

[lone lion]

ok well u do u good luck 💪

[normal ember]

Anyway let me post with summer plans and what I did in middle school

If anything I'll drop AP Lit my senior year and take another year of Guitar instead of AP Comp Sci A

But currently they are in my plan

Either way my life is beginning to be in order

[steady canyon]

ap world at least in my school is the hardest history class

apush is significantly easier

[lone lion]

teacher diff lol

But ap wise apush is still harder

no matter what school

[covert linden]

So then should I do AP science or AP calc? And should I do honors precalc and risk getting lower grades than regular only risking .2% less on my weighted gpa

[solemn hamlet]

Unis weight honors lower than APs

Like I'm p sure the consensus is 4.5 for honors and 5.0 for APs, tho it depends per uni a bit ofc

[covert linden]

Ik honors precalc is next year, AP would be senior year (I like to plan ahead)

Honestly if I stick with honors next year my main worry is my unweighted GPA

[solemn hamlet]

Oh are you talking about the difference between taking honors precalc and getting a B vs a non weighted class?

[covert linden]

Ya

I struggle in math and I wanna keep my unweighted GPA at a 3.9

[solemn hamlet]

How much harder is honors precalc than the non honors version at your school 🤔

[covert linden]

All I can say is I will for sure get an A in regular and idk about honors

Like they give you practice tests in regular that's literally a copy of the test

[solemn hamlet]

💀

[covert linden]

And trig isn't a prerequisite but it is for honors

Ya wish they had a prehonors for real lol

[solemn hamlet]

Wdym trig isn't a prerequisite 😭
How can you skip trig

Y'all don't have AP precalc right 🤔

[covert linden]

For regular it's not, at least not as a separate course

[solemn hamlet]

Is it not a part of algebra 2 for yall

[covert linden]

For honors it is, I'm doing trig rn

We finished algebra earlier this year and have 2 straight units of trig

The main issue is that I'm struggling in honors algebra 2 rn and I don't want my gpa to suffer

The other problem is that my school doesn't offer honors for upper class men

So I can't have the honors French, science, and English I have now

And we are limited on how many AP classes we can take

[solemn hamlet]

Confidence is important, if u take regular precalc and get an A you might feel better even if ur weighted gpa is lower

[covert linden]

I calculated it and it's only a .03 difference in weighted gpa taking honors and getting an A vs regular and getting an A

[solemn hamlet]

.03% or just .03?

[covert linden]

Like 4.44 vs 4.41

As I said, I'm not great with math lol

My main worry is how it looks to colleges loosing all my honors classes next year that I'm currently in

There's no honors physics, no honors French, and I'm taking AP English so I can't take honors English

[solemn hamlet]

So not a percent

[covert linden]

Yes sorry about that

[solemn hamlet]

You're taking AP English why ru sad that you can't take the honors version 😭

[covert linden]

Less weighted courses lol

Rn I have 2 ap courses, 4 honors, and 1 regular

Next year I'll have 3 ap courses and 4 regular

[solemn hamlet]

That can't exactly be helped if ur school doesn't offer anything else

[covert linden]

Or 3 ap courses, 1 honors, and 3 regular depending on what I do for math

[solemn hamlet]

Coursework matters less than ECs and essays for top unis to begin with

[covert linden]

Rlly

[solemn hamlet]

If you've already got that many APs and honors courses and that weighted gpa it's fine

[solemn hamlet]

Definitely

Doing any more APs or honors won't get u in, ECs are more important

For T20s at least

[covert linden]

Speech and debate, mock trial, National moot court, and dance let's go

[solemn hamlet]

🤔
At least 2 of those sound like clubs

What kinda uni do u wanna go to

[covert linden]

We go to comps/tournaments if that helps

[solemn hamlet]

Yes it does

What level have u done

[covert linden]

I was 2 places away from qualifying for states in impromptu speech

Also rlly close for parliamentary debate

And I'm applying for leadership, so we shall see how that goes

[solemn hamlet]

If you're trying to have the best chances for T20s, impact matters, and you can get it from competitions and awards through that, clubs and leadership in those are very cliche at this point

[covert linden]

True

Oh my team also got invited to YAGP finals for dance this year

[solemn hamlet]

Tbf idk wut that is but sounds good, is it like national or state level or smth

[covert linden]

National I think

And this was my first year doing moot court but we could potentially get to nationals next year

Mock trial has gotten me a lot of connections, how I met the person who coached me for moot court

[solemn hamlet]

Nice

[covert linden]

My spike is fairly clear which I think is a strength right?

Which is why I'm so confused on what to do about math

[solemn hamlet]

public speaking?

[covert linden]

I wanna be lawyer

[solemn hamlet]

Mm yeah

[covert linden]

Oh I also founded the history bowl at my school

[covert linden]

Hence mock trial and moot court

Fun fact I'm the only person at my school who does moot court

[drowsy siren]

My school won’t let me skip pre calc and take ap calc what should i do

it’s pissing me off bc I’m good at math and I like it and they don’t wanna let me go ahead

I watched a yt video about AP pre calc practice questions and got like 70-80% of them right

it would be a waste of time for me to spend a whole year in that class

[lone lion]

womp womp just take it bruh

[coral crane]

u can talk to administration or smthn and have them give u an exam that assess ur understanding on precalc ig

thats what I did to go from geometry to pre calc

it depends on the school ngl

but ye

[empty pagoda]

Is it a good idea to take AP Science classes (other than APES) if I dont plan on going into Medical (Business & Economics)

[coral crane]

waste of time ig unless ur aiming on improving certain skills with certain aps

[empty pagoda]

alr thx

colleges wont care right?

[coral crane]

they never care

[scenic folio]

Guys will there be ap human anatomy and physiology next yr

Anyone know

Heard rumors

[blazing hawk]

how do these sound for junior subjects? only getting 6 choices, my school doesnt have many advanced options

english (doing senior english, my school has a program for it so i can skip a year and have free periods in senior)

math methods (aka, my schools version of AP math)

physics (no AP choice on offer)

law (no AP choice on offer)

economics (no AP choice on offer)

psychology (no AP choice on offer)

[cobalt trench]

looks good. i am curious, what is your major? @ me.

[drowsy siren]

and waste another year being on my phone all day bc the shit is too easy?

[lone lion]

💀

cant do much about it if ur school doesnt let you huh

[blazing hawk]

im in high school still! i dont quite know whag major i want to go into yet, but i would like to go into data analytics, or something math-science related. :)

[hybrid axle]

Should I major in mathematics as a premed

I love math but I kinda suck at it

I had a b last quarter in precalc

I’m a sophomore in high school btw

I’m most likely gonna get it up to an A this quarter it’s an a rn

I really love math but the difficulty is what I’m worried about should I still do it

[last ember]

I’m a sophomore in precalc too and I’ve also been trying to choose between math or premed.

If you really like math I don’t think you should worry too much about the difficulty unless you’re struggling really badly. If your school has a math team or club you should join it if you haven’t yet bc it’s a good way to explore more unique math topics.

[hybrid axle]

Wait that just gave me an idea lol ima start one

Cause I’m pretty sure there’s none in my school

[last ember]

Nice! If you need any advice on how to run it or what to do, you can dm me, I’m the president/captain of my school’s math team 👍

[hybrid axle]

Alright thank you

[coral crane]

No

[nova coral]

Hey I'm a 1st year architecture student

[coral crane]

I said someone help the other guy, please read it properly before jumping to conclusions 😶‍🌫️

[solemn hamlet]

Weighted gpa
So yes

But you should take the classes ur interested in anyway 🤔

And the science APs can be hard ofc

[earnest tendon]

would taking ap chemistry be a good idea in high school if planning to go into electrical engineering in college? It seems useful in the physics aspect, but has a lot of course work

[solemn hamlet]

if ur interested in it and the teacher is good (ask someone who took it), even if it doesnt relate to your major u should take it, imo at least

[earnest tendon]

in my high school, to take it requires two periods, which makes me hesitant

[coral crane]

You can self study it then if u want

[earnest tendon]

wdym?

[coral crane]

ik it has a lot of content and its lab based but still

[solemn hamlet]

no

self studying is not anywhere near taking the course

[coral crane]

Take it outside of school

[solemn hamlet]

its just giving the ap exam

[coral crane]

Who said that?

I didnt say that its the same as taking the course lol

[solemn hamlet]

you're giving it as an alternative

[coral crane]

or anywhere near it

[coral crane]

I suggested a possibility that he could choose from if hes hesitant abt the two periods

[earnest tendon]

thanks for your help

[lone lion]

"womp womp"

[abstract gulch]

Is pre calc worth skipping over the summer

[hollow shard]

no

not unless you know that you are very smart and there are good options

[lone lion]

nah

[drowsy siren]

i’m wondering this also

[drowsy siren]

if they let you yeah

[vital olive]

what would u be able to take if u skipped precalc

like if ur a sophomore and u skip precalc ur gonna take ab or bc right so would u be able to take like a college level course senior year or what

[hollow shard]

u would take like AP stats or multivariable calc

[abstract gulch]

It’s bc if i can skip precalc in the summer between sophomore and junior year i would be able to take ap stats or multi var calc

[abstract gulch]

Yeah

[vital olive]

what r u majoring in

[abstract gulch]

Stem related

[vital olive]

i was only asking bcs it depends on the school

[abstract gulch]

I can go straight into calc bc without ab

[vital olive]

yeah for us our school requires ab before bc 💀

its so dumb

[abstract gulch]

But if i don’t skip pre calc i need to take calc bc in senior year

[vital olive]

then yeah go for it

[abstract gulch]

Ok

Thank u

[vital olive]

np

[abstract gulch]

Me trying to react with🙏 but I don’t have reaction perms

[tribal frigate]

guys can u rate my junior year course list: APUSH, Honors English, Math analysis, AP Physics 1, AP CSA, AP Astronomy, and robotics

[sullen hearth]

AP Astronomy ?

Never have heard of that

[earnest tendon]

would be cool though

[tribal frigate]

oh mb its like a course they teach in our school for the local university

[robust carbon]

I would assume that if he is taking it, he has some background knowledge on it.

[tribal frigate]

from*

[robust carbon]

What's in Math Analysis?

[tribal frigate]

precalc

[robust carbon]

Alright.

I think it's pretty good. You might have to lock in with APUSH or AP Physics.

But, it works for a junior course selection.

[tribal frigate]

k

[tribal frigate]

yeah im good at history but idk abt physics

im decent at math

[zealous raft]

hiii

[ancient sluice]

Guys I’m going for Ivy League schools what should be my four year layout of courses

[abstract gulch]

Depends on school ofc

[robust carbon]

The most rigorous course you can find and excel at, and still be related to your major.

[forest crystal]

should i take ap precalc or algebra 2 next year?

[cinder gorge]

what does that mean? i keep n seeing people theese days using that

[cinder gorge]

like mocking "awh shucks...who cares?"

[forest crystal]

boohoo

[wooden aurora]

im thinking to major in psychobiology so what courses should I take?

[sullen hearth]

Ap physc, bio, chem... any other health related science offered at your school

[cinder gorge]

ohk thx @cinder gorge

[wooden aurora]

thank you!!

[thick star]

Does anyone think a college level quantum computing class is worth taking junior year? it is kind of niche but I am into CS

[sullen hearth]

if u want

[final helm]

if u think u can handle it

junior year is considered the most stressful year of hs tho

[final helm]

whats that

[abstract gulch]

Well algebra 2 is before pre calc

So if u took algebra 2 do precalc

And if you didn’t do algebra 2 then to algebra II

[final helm]

What math u in rn

[halcyon tulip]

guys any tips for an incoming freshman taking 3 honors

[thin sparrow]

Hiiii

[toxic silo]

guys should i take AP Bio or AP World History for my freshman year (im going into CS)

[solemn hamlet]

Bio

totally not biased

[toxic silo]

okay whatever you say

[solemn hamlet]

for real advice

ask someone who took it to see how the teacher is

ideally someone who took both

but even if someone just took one between those

cus some teachers teach APs really terribly and assign a lot of homework for no reason adn stuff

[toxic silo]

okay thx

[south cape]

For CS it doesn’t really matter

Try taking CSP or CS A if it’s available

If not, I guess you should choose what you think is best

I highly recommend going throughout the whole AP Physics track during high school for CS too

[solemn hamlet]

yeah, most cs majors have physics classes

and if u want credit, dont take csp

physics would be better

csp is comparable to apes in that its just there for a gpa boost

[final helm]

Could u take both?

[south cape]

Yeah

Just saying if you have an extra spot

[untold citrus]

should i take AP bio or honors physics

[final helm]

What do u wanna do when u grow up

[weak rampart]

lmfao do you have any idea what major you'd want to apply to college as? def would set up your class schedule to reflect your interests so that schools can see it over time. same with ECs

[ancient sluice]

Med track

[final helm]

lol we cant just supply an entire four year plan

[ancient sluice]

[cursive panther]

i’ll make you a 4 year plan

[weak rampart]

yeah i might need a little more context but i'm not a college counselor 💀 tldr; the classes you take in high school should relate to the major you're going to apply to college as. you're more likely to get in that way

[cursive panther]

i also wanna do med so i would be able to help you a little bit

[ancient sluice]

K

I want to go to a math camp like awesome math

[cursive panther]

but i need to know what courses your school offers

[ancient sluice]

But I don’t know where to learn math theory

[cursive panther]

but definitely take ap bio & chem

[ancient sluice]

Ok

[cursive panther]

the rest doesn’t matter but maybe take ap calc and stats if you can

[final helm]

and anatomy ofc

[ancient sluice]

What order do I take math classes like trig algebra 2 and precalc and calculus

[final helm]

it goes alg 2, trig, pre calc, calc

[ancient sluice]

Bc or ac

[cursive panther]

this is my 4 year plan; use it for ideas

[final helm]

it goes calc ab then calc bc

but most schools allow u to go to calc bc

[final helm]

bro what is math 3

[cursive panther]

basically algebra 2

but my school is weird

[ancient sluice]

I’m going to be gone I’m doing service hours

I don’t know much about act

[solemn hamlet]

Practice

[solemn hamlet]

No bot commands here pls

[cursive panther]

aight, sorry

[ancient sluice]

I took a diagnostic and got like 16 right but I only took half because if I guess on one I don’t know I’ll think I knew it later so idk

[solemn hamlet]

What 😭

[ancient sluice]

I’m in 7th grade and taking a diagnostic there is like a 1/5 chance I get it right

If I don’t know it I don’t want to accidentally get it right

I don’t want to see I’ll get on an act

[solemn hamlet]

Luck is a factor on the real act too 💀

[ancient sluice]

I want to see curriculum I don’t know that’ll be on act

Ik but I want to know it

[solemn hamlet]

The ACT has stuff until algebra 2, just like the sat

[ancient sluice]

There where derivative problems

[solemn hamlet]

Why ru doing it in 7th grade 😭

,rotate

Sigh

[ancient sluice]

Bc I’m trying to get into l#the local math academy so I get a 2 year science degree

I’m taking 9th math

And I study daily

But I am so confused

[solemn hamlet]

An associates?

[ancient sluice]

Yeah

[solemn hamlet]

There's no way 😭

[solemn hamlet]

Why tho 🤔

[ancient sluice]

Or discriminabt

Smart

[solemn hamlet]

What

[ancient sluice]

I’ll get taken to a university and stay in a dorm and finish my last 2 hs years there

But I need a 22 on the math

[solemn hamlet]

Taken 😭

[ancient sluice]

I’m trying to get it end of 8th year

So I’m going to find out what I need to know

But it’s not easy bc I don’t even know how to learn it

And the book gives really crappy explanations

[green parrot]

What is the benefit of joining national science honor society? Like what opportunities do I get, how valuable is it to colleges, etc

[solemn hamlet]

Honors societies are not great ECs and barely helps for anything in my experience

[unreal sphinx]

^

They are honestly such a scam

[final helm]

how

do they cost money or smth

[unreal sphinx]

Some of them actually do

Have you ever heard of NSHSS

Or whatever tf it’s called

It’s apparently nearly $100

And it’s a complete scam

There’s also just so many of these honor societies out there

At this point colleges see them on like every persons application

It’s nothing special

It won’t make you stand out

And make a difference in your application in anyway

Not worth it

[final helm]

what do honor societies even do when u join

like what are they exactly

[unreal sphinx]

When I was in middle school we had NJHS, and basically there was only like very few times we “volunteered.” Literally I’m not even kidding we would bring in a box of food like three times in the year at max.

And that’s the only thing we did

Not worth it

Oh and we got a free blue t shirt

Yeah so worth it…

[unreal sphinx]

It’s ultimately a group of kids who do “volunteer work” but are apart of a united group

[final helm]

oh

[unreal sphinx]

However they hold you to have extracurriculars, good grades, and you have to go through an application process to get in.

Like just join Key Club if your that desperate

It’s literally that tbh

Usually the school will also hold an induction ceremony too

[cinder gorge]

Wait, I got in to NHS for next year (year 11). Was it a bad choice?

[unreal sphinx]

The website is the most cringe thing too god damn they make it seem like you will make such a difference and a leader by being in NHS

[unreal sphinx]

I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a bad choice

I guess just an extra thing to have

It’s a complete scam though

[cinder gorge]

[unreal sphinx]

It doesn’t make a difference whatsoever

And no even though the website says you’ll make such a difference

Lmao

[cinder gorge]

lmsooo, i j thought it was good to have on college apps

[unreal sphinx]

Most cringe shit ever

[unreal sphinx]

The issue is like every single person has it on their app

[unreal sphinx]

No it won’t transform you into a leader

💀

[cinder gorge]

what diff between student and school leaders? thats like going from 2-3 😭

[unreal sphinx]

No idea 😭

[cinder gorge]

I might have to drop it man no way imma be doin allat for nothing

[unreal sphinx]

Basically, the very most you’ll do in NHS is like volunteer work a couple times in the school year. The school also has to like hold you accountable for your grades. Like if your grades slip they are able to kick you out.

Back in NJHS so much of that shit happened

Also we had kids get kicked out for being like a minute late to a meeting

One kid was kicked from his officer position

And don’t even get me started on the officer shit

They are such a scam because the popular kid always gets the spots

Your honor society will have an election and shit

[cinder gorge]

Bro??? thats so annoying

Im fr gonna have drop it man

[opaque wedge]

Omg really?? In NJHS for us, we barely did anything. We only had one meeting and that was it.

[unreal sphinx]

The couple times we did volunteer work in NJHS was basically everybody in the honor society brought in a box of food like a box of pasta or a can of soup and they donated it

This occurred twice

Then they held a meeting once a month for no reason and we did nothing

Oh and we got a blue t shirt with all our names on the back of it

[opaque wedge]

We didn't do anything at all 😭

[unreal sphinx]

Like tf was the point of that

[lone lion]

"womp womp"

[opaque wedge]

All we got were fancy pins and a sheet of paper with our names on it

[unreal sphinx]

Lmao 😂

That sums up NHS for ya

[opaque wedge]

Frr

[unreal sphinx]

And they make you have good grades for what?

They make you fill out an application for what?

[lone lion]

yall complaining way too much 😭

[opaque wedge]

And the school I go to now, the NHS doesn't do anything at all. I think they're supposed to tutor people and do volunteer service but they don't do that

Frr

They make it sound super prestigious

[unreal sphinx]

EXACTLY

[final helm]

lmao nhs is getting their shit flamed rn

[lone lion]

bruh just dont join

if yall hate it sm

[unreal sphinx]

I remember going to these meetings before the application process and they were saying like how it’s such a rigorous activity and don’t do it if you aren’t up for a challenge

They would like try and scare us too

[opaque wedge]

OMG THEY DID THAT TO US TOO

[unreal sphinx]

Like I remember being in 7th grade sitting in that auditorium chair scared fucking shitless

And now I’m like laughing at the honor society a few years later lol

Biggest scam of an activity

[opaque wedge]

Same, I thought it was going to be so hard to get into and so hard to stay in the honor society

[unreal sphinx]

People got kicked out for a grade going below a B too

[lone lion]

🤡

[unreal sphinx]

Like they had no mercy

Like tf

[opaque wedge]

They didn't care for us 😭

[unreal sphinx]

Even if you were slightly late to a meeting they would kick you out

[opaque wedge]

For us, the second you got inducted, you're in until you graduate from middle school

[wraith scarab]

lucky for me i cant get into nhs since the gpa requirement is a 3.9

[opaque wedge]

Wow, that is so harsh

[unreal sphinx]

Ours is 3.7

High ass GPA for a fucking activity you do shit in

[wraith scarab]

weighted or unweighted

[unreal sphinx]

I don’t think I ever heard of a single thing my schools NHS did

[unreal sphinx]

I forgot

I can look it up quickly

[wraith scarab]

i have a 2.9 weighted rn so i obviously cant get in lol

[coral crane]

whoa

[wraith scarab]

im only 1.0 away from being there though

[unreal sphinx]

I just says you have to have a simple GPA of 3.7 minimum

[wraith scarab]

oh

[unreal sphinx]

It’s not worth joining tbh

[wraith scarab]

yea nhs does less than student government

[unreal sphinx]

At my school, you can’t even apply until Junior year.

[wraith scarab]

same

[unreal sphinx]

Which means it’s not active until senior year

So wtf is the point of that

[lone lion]

bro why are u still yapping about this

😭

[wraith scarab]

idk

[unreal sphinx]

More people entered the conversation that’s why

[forest crystal]

algebra 1 but i was gonna take algebra 2 in the summer if i do precalc

[wraith scarab]

i dont think this topic is right for course selection

[lone lion]

lmao

[lone lion]

ur gonna skip geo?

[final helm]

well have u taken geometry

[forest crystal]

my school is weird but im taking algebra 1 and geometry rn

as one course

[lone lion]

ah cool

[final helm]

ok

so u need alg 2 and trig if u want to do pre calc

[unreal sphinx]

My school combined geo and trig into one class

I feel like schools need to do that

[wraith scarab]

my school combined precalc and trig

[final helm]

my school combined precalc andtrig

[final helm]

sameee

[unreal sphinx]

I dread once I get up into the calculus maths

I’m so fd

[wraith scarab]

what state u live in if your okay with answering?

[unreal sphinx]

Tennessee

[final helm]

iowa

[unreal sphinx]

Ah I tried guessing lol

[woeful geyser]

Would jumping from taking 1 AP class sophomore year to taking 3 ap’s junior year be too much - the workload, time commitment etc. The AP’s I’m considering are Seminar, Lang and Composition, Spanish Lang

[wraith scarab]

oh they do the same in indiana

[unreal sphinx]

Do you really need all those?

Lang and Spanish Lang in the same year

💀

Yeah count your days with that

[wraith scarab]

unless your trying to get higher gpa just use the ones youll need in your major

[unreal sphinx]

^

Don’t do Lang and Spanish Lang same year either if you must take Spanish Lang

[wraith scarab]

id only do spanish lang if the college your going to has a foriegn language requirement

[unreal sphinx]

Couldn’t they just take regular foreign language classes then?

[woeful geyser]

lol Lang is required at my school and Spanish would be a logical progression for international relations major

[unreal sphinx]

Is there anyway you could do it separate years

[wraith scarab]

ap classes are good for not having to take intro courses in college

[unreal sphinx]

Yeah ik but like taking 2 langs same year with seminar is asking for trouble

[wraith scarab]

also depends on other classes your taking too

[woeful geyser]

Nope - one is a requirement and there are no easier classes for Spanish - straight into AP from the level 4 I’m doing this year

[unreal sphinx]

Ah I see

What grade are you in?

[woeful geyser]

10

[unreal sphinx]

Do you plan to take any other AP’s besides these 3 after junior year

[woeful geyser]

Yeah

[unreal sphinx]

How many?

[woeful geyser]

4 but I’m still thinking

There are a lot I want to do but ik that it can be hard and lots of factors play into my decision

[unreal sphinx]

I’m trying to see if there is a way you could take Spanish Lang senior year

And English lang Junior year

Actually it would probably be better to do it vice versa coming off of Spanish IV

[woeful geyser]

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking bcs a year long break in a language is illogical. But I am required to take English Lang my junior year and Lit my senior year, so not much leeway with that

[unreal sphinx]

Hmmm

What other classes do you have next year?

[woeful geyser]

Besides those AP’s I wanted to take I’ll have Physics, US history, Precalc and journalism

[unreal sphinx]

Pretty heavy course load

Do you have ecs?

[woeful geyser]

Yea

[unreal sphinx]

Yeah you’re fucked 💀

[woeful geyser]

Good to know😭

Thanks for the feedback though

[unreal sphinx]

I honestly don’t know how else to mend that because of the schools requirements

And only two years

Honestly toughest case I’ve dealt with in the server so far

[woeful geyser]

My counselor says that I’ll be fine but if it were entirely up to her, I’d be taking only AP classes. So I don’t trust that lady💀

[unreal sphinx]

Is she high?

💀

[woeful geyser]

Looks like it

[unreal sphinx]

💀

[woeful geyser]

Have you taken those classes?

[unreal sphinx]

No bc I’m only a freshman lol

I do plan to take lang my junior year

[woeful geyser]

Ah got it

[solemn hamlet]

Are APs hard at your school 🤔

[woeful geyser]

It REALLY depends on a teacher

I have AP World rn and the teacher is so great, means I get to chill. But I’m not sure abt others

[solemn hamlet]

Yes and ur counselor knows the teachers

Maybe they're all chill

[tropic spear]

Hey yall i was wondering, whats the difference between AP Lang and Lit in terms of credit? Is it like Physics 1 and 2

[solemn hamlet]

That's a good comparison 🤔🤔

[unreal sphinx]

Lang is writing primarily, lit is focused on reading

Physics 1 and 2 are algebra based I believe

[woeful geyser]

The teachers switch the classes they teach like every two years, so signing up for a class while only relying on a teacher is risky

[solemn hamlet]

I don't think that was the point

[solemn hamlet]

Huh? How does that work

[tropic spear]

so if i were to only take lang, i’d satisfy a english requirement?

[unreal sphinx]

If you score well enough

[tropic spear]

since im taking AP Sem next year

[unreal sphinx]

It depends on the college too

If your talking about opting out of freshman year college English

[solemn hamlet]

Sem gives college credit?

[unreal sphinx]

Take lang over lit always

[woeful geyser]

Idk they become bored of teaching the same class ig. It’s not required, so some teach the same thing for 15 years and some rotate

[tropic spear]

its an ap so most likely but idk what requirement that satisfies

[unreal sphinx]

What’s your major bro

[tropic spear]

would that count as an english credit

me?

[solemn hamlet]

No, there's definitely more than a couple of APs that aren't that valuable college credit wise

Seminar probably doesn't give u an English cred

[tropic spear]

going for CS or perhaps game development if thats a thing in college

im just thinking of college requirements

[unreal sphinx]

@tropic spear

[solemn hamlet]

Why game dev?

[tropic spear]

i like the idea of coding and developing games

[tropic spear]

find it fun

i just dunno what classes would help correlate with that

[woeful geyser]

They usually do but as a general elective. You can also get perks during your college app if you win capstone

[solemn hamlet]

Ah, so why do you think you need a degree to be an indie game dev 🤔

[tropic spear]

if cs requires a degree i’d think that game development is a branch of that

[unreal sphinx]

Yeah

[solemn hamlet]

CS doesn't, you only need a degree in certain job settings for promotions

Have you made a game 🤔

You could start an indie game dev studio right now

AAA game dev isn't game dev, and it isn't humane either

[tropic spear]

ive only used scratch to make games. I tried to get into unity but i got very lost

[solemn hamlet]

You could easily get experience and make a few games that get a bit popular and then get hired by a larger indie studio

No degree required

If u wanna do game dev

[solemn hamlet]

💀

So u wanna do game dev cus it sounds cool?

Do 100 hour work weeks sound cool 🤔

[tropic spear]

okok lemme rephrase. I enjoy the idea of putting unique concepts in a game and see where it takes u. I also like to code

[solemn hamlet]

So you wanna do indie game dev

Like i said, doesn't require any sort of degree

A degree is unnecessary debt and/or time wasted

Experience is super valuable

[tropic spear]

i cant just make a game from scratch without taking courses- i tried and that got me nowhere. Ive watched a couple of playlists and that also got me nowhere

[tropic spear]

i know how to code somewhat

[tropic spear]

just learning unity is a whole different task

[solemn hamlet]

And what makes you think this'll change if/when you get out of college? You'll know how to make a game, but you won't have any ideas to actually do it, maybe you'll get a job out of college at best? 🤔

[tropic spear]

learning from courses and then creating stuff is the best way i learn

[tropic spear]

i take AP Comp Sci and thats how i learn

[solemn hamlet]

Ok, you enjoy making games, what do you think a game developer does as a job tho?

This is all from someone who has considered game dev as a career btw

[tropic spear]

depends on what u work as

[solemn hamlet]

What do u wanna

[tropic spear]

coding and some designing

[solemn hamlet]

You need to choose 🤔

You can't exactly do both

[tropic spear]

then coding

[solemn hamlet]

Maybe in a small studio or team

[solemn hamlet]

So scripting video games is a fun and fulfilling job for you?

[tropic spear]

i wont know till i try it

[tropic spear]

but yea seems like it

[solemn hamlet]

Why do you think so 🤔

[tropic spear]

i like coding and adding game dev to that makes it better

[solemn hamlet]

I've spent more time than I wanna admit working on game scripts, and as someone who enjoys coding i can't say i like it at all tbfh

[solemn hamlet]

In a large project ur code will barely even have an impact 🤔

[tropic spear]

thats fine im not looking for large recognition or praise

[tropic spear]

just a good income

[solemn hamlet]

There's better jobs with higher incomes, better hours/ treatment and maybe even more fulfillment out there

Crunches are common in every large project

Indie studios don't pay super well

[tropic spear]

if thats the case then ill still enter the CS field in some form

[tropic spear]

and work on lil projects here and there

[tropic spear]

if given the chance

[solemn hamlet]

Brother u need to figure ur life out me thinks 🤔

CS conditioning is little less than brainwashing

[tropic spear]

?

[solemn hamlet]

Why cs?

[tropic spear]

ive just had a enjoyment from coding

[tropic spear]

learning HTML and CSS

[solemn hamlet]

Do you need me to state again why enjoying doing smth doesn't relate to it being a good job for u

[tropic spear]

and Java

[solemn hamlet]

I just did this with game dev for u

[tropic spear]

i’d much rather enjoy a job with a medicore income rather than hate a job with a high income but thats just me

[tropic spear]

if i change my mind then thats fine

[tropic spear]

i just enjoy taking CS classes

[solemn hamlet]

CS is not an enjoyable job with a mediocre income tho

[solemn hamlet]

If u wanna do enjoyable cs with mediocre income do stuff urself

As a freelancer or similar

If u work in large companies with high incomes you definitely won't enjoy it, tons of tech debt and hyper large projects where u don't matter

[solemn hamlet]

Or maybe startups, yeah that's probably the best work cs has to offer

[tropic spear]

i also enjoy art in some forms but i am not skilled enough for that-

[tropic spear]

just aa a hobby

[solemn hamlet]

Make a distinction between hobbies and careers

A career can be smth u used to think of as a hobby, but not everything u have as a hobby can be a good career

[tropic spear]

thats why i want to become a game developer since its a blend of both coding and designing

[solemn hamlet]

So you want to be an indie game dev in a small team or small indie studio?

That's not a terrible choice, sure

It's not a safe or 'good' career choice, but it could be enjoyable if u make it so

[tropic spear]

whatever comes up in my path

[sturdy oar]

0-0

[tropic spear]

[solemn hamlet]

But if you can't even learn game dev urself, why do you think you'll be a successful game developer? If you're working alone or with one or two other people, there won't be any structures or professors to guide u 🤔

[tropic spear]

thats where classes come in

[tropic spear]

Taking a game dev class or 2 wouldnt hurt

gets the ball rolling for me

[tropic spear]

To be independent

[solemn hamlet]

So you're just gonna do the auxiliary game dev path

What'll be your main career then? The suffocating job u leave to be your own independent game dev?

[tropic spear]

sure if thats the path i deem best for me. I just want to create games that are enjoyable, whatever path i go on to create one is something ill learn after high school

or even during

[solemn hamlet]

Didn't really answer

[tropic spear]

then i dont have an answer yet

[solemn hamlet]

So make one 😭

That's the whole point 😭

[tropic spear]

that’ll be something i can answer in the future

[tropic spear]

I dont have everything figured out yet im only a sophomore

[solemn hamlet]

Did i narrow it down for u

[solemn hamlet]

You have about 1.4 years left before college apps 🤔

[tropic spear]

i probably wont have everything figured out by then either. If I have a decent idea of what I want to do, which is make games, then i’ll be fine

[gloomy lotus]

how does class of '25 start applying in literally a few months 😭

im so not ready for this lmao

[solar helm]

yeah I am absolutely terrified

[livid isle]

is taking ap chem necessary, for some one who wants to go to an stem/engineering field like (comp engineering, cs)?

[solemn hamlet]

No?

[livid isle]

ok that's good to know

many kids in my grade are taking ap chem (sophmore)

[final helm]

not really, but it kinda helps

[livid isle]

would taking an intro chem class through dual enrollment like chem 101 be considered a good supplimental?

to give refrence

ap chem covers both intro to chem + general chem 1

[solemn hamlet]

Sure, if u don't wanna do chem that de class might be less course load for a good weighted gpa rise still

[gloomy lotus]

makes two of us 🤝

[final helm]

What do u wanna do when u grow up

[lone lion]

live bro

[solemn hamlet]

Weighted gpa >>

Ask around for which is taught better and stuff tho

[solemn hamlet]

(Cus APs vary quite a bit)

Generally CS A isn't a hard class tho

[magic orbit]

what do u plan to major in?

[barren obsidian]

Is it better if I go for Mechanical engineering bachelor's and then Aerospace engineering masters or should I try for both bachelor's and master's to be aerospace engineering

[kindred mango]

having them stay the same would obviously the be the most beneficial so you make sure that you have all the basic knowledge required for your masters

but if you're really interested in mechanical engineering, go for it

it doesn't really hurt

[steady canyon]

in the same situation, it doesn't rly matter as long as you have good course rigor

i'm taking ap physics instead of ap chem bc i just like it more

take ap chem if you want to major in chem eng

[barren obsidian]

Yea I think imma go mechanical then aerospace cus I like both cars and space

[blazing hawk]

currently sobbing my school doesnt offer computer science as a science /hj

[wraith scarab]

computer science dosent fall in the science category on my school course description guide but it counts as a science credit at my school

[kindred mango]

even in university

my school offers it as a bachelor of arts

[final helm]

bro hoiw

[violet dagger]

damn my school requires it in freshman year

[cursive panther]

i want to take an extra ap in my senior year, should I take AP physics, ap csp, or ap cs a ( i want to go into pre-med/psychology and biology major)

[final helm]

none of those relate to the field u wanna go to

is there any classes that do\

[full tinsel]

Should I take AP Chem over the summer?

[final helm]

Sure why not

[full tinsel]

I've only take Chem I.

And for some reason

Algebra I is the only req

Yet trig is a req for AP Physics I

Which I think is just very goofy

[lone lion]

cause physics 1 uses trig??..

[final helm]

For us the pre req for physics is Algebra 2

[lone lion]

algebra 2 has some trig

[tender wyvern]

do i self study precalc over the summer of 9th grade

ive been debating it

[solemn hamlet]

does your school offer ap precalc?

[abstract gulch]

Does AP bio require some chemistry knowledge?

[tender wyvern]

No but we have regular pre calc

I’d be taking it next year if I don’t self study over the summer

Otherwise I’d be in calc bc

[tender wyvern]

Ya

[cobalt trench]

are you debating if you are going to take precalc or calc?

[tender wyvern]

No whether or whether not I take pre calc over the summer

I’m in Alg 2 rn

[cobalt trench]

what program is this

[solemn hamlet]

then take it over the summer id say

[cobalt trench]

that lets you take it over the summer>

[solemn hamlet]

most schools allow summer classes

[tender wyvern]

Yea I’m like mathmaxxing so I gotta max my math

[cobalt trench]

well

[solemn hamlet]

yeah, but depends on how your teacher teaches it too, if your school doesn't require it then the teacher probably teaches some preliminary chem

[cobalt trench]

yea i say take it

because it keeps your mind in the zone when comming back

and not forget everything

[solemn hamlet]

precalc isn't even that important

[tender wyvern]

Fr

[cobalt trench]

from previous math classes

[solemn hamlet]

that is a bad typo to make

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/748508049408524298.webp?size=64

[tender wyvern]

Apparently at my school it’s like algebra 2 1/2

Most of it’s just relearning Alg 2

[solemn hamlet]

whaattttt

[tender wyvern]

Algebra 2 and a half

[cobalt trench]

it introduces you to few new things that is mainly a branch of what you have previously learned

[weary atlas]

agreed XD

[solemn hamlet]

no i understood 😭

that was a reaction

[cobalt mango]

where's the 'What major should you study: Computer Science' located?

Guysss, I need help
So I’m choosing my classes for junior year (I’m in a IB program) and I’m not really sure if the classes I chose are good since I don’t really understand credits and stuff 🤷‍♀️

[gleaming cargo]

Oof I did the IB program it sucks I feel you

[red path]

I’m scared man 😭

[gleaming cargo]

Don't worry! I bull crapped my way through it!

[red path]

Show me your ways

[gleaming cargo]

I just cried a lot, but also rember that the easer classes are still impressive. I did all easy courses and still got a 4.2 GPA

[red path]

Awesome 😮

Currently I have like a 3.367 GPA rn, Ik IB will help get you enough credits to be a freshman or sophomore in college but they be doing too much😞

[gleaming cargo]

I get that, Just keep pushing, I know you can do it. I'm as dumb as a bag of rocks and still did it, So if I can, then you defenetly can!!

[red path]

Thank youuu, I need the support 🙏😭

[molten sinew]

I can give all my stats

[ashen cradle]

Is it better to do AP art despite not wanting to be an artist for the sake of improving my hobby and boosting my GPA or is it better to take a business class (no weight) just to try something new that could be a college opportunity that i may or may not like

[mint thorn]

None of us are because we’re mostly all in high school lol

[cedar fjord]

[bright zodiac]

What jobs can I get if I complete my masters in mathematics

[plain hemlock]

Hola

[daring sedge]

assuming i pass summer geometry, what should my math courses look like if i start algebra 2 as a freshman?

[lone lion]

alg 2 -> pre calc -> AP CALC AB or BC

-> Multi variable / AP Stats

[brazen trout]

Teacher, professor are the basics

Depending on what you do in math also answers that question

Statistics has a lot more options then general mathematics

I mean you could be a mathematician consultant for a business or smth

Math is a really general field and a lot of the jobs you could do can also be someone with a bachelors in a focused field like accounting, statistics, computer science, engineering

My mom got a degree in math with a statistics focus and went to medical school

Albeit she still had to do the premed courses

[final helm]

Alg 2 as freshman, trig as sophomore, pre calc as junior, calc as senior

[final helm]

Or some schools allow u to take trig and pre calc in same year

[solemn hamlet]

if u wanna make urself a collage, do it

[empty pagoda]

Some schools might not have trig

[solemn hamlet]

how is trig not in alg 2

[empty pagoda]

Trig is also in some of geometry

I don’t think it’s worth spending a year on trig 😅

[solemn hamlet]

yeah

[empty pagoda]

Just take a summer class or EA out of it

[solemn hamlet]

ap geometry

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/900303597223440405.webp?size=64

[empty pagoda]

Exam for acceleration

Btw

[empty pagoda]

I wish 😭

AP Algebra>>>

[solemn hamlet]

pre ap geometry

[empty pagoda]

AP extra math help>>>

[empty pagoda]

Oh yeah 😅

[warm cargo]

if i want to be an english teacher while working as a photographer on the side, would it be good for me to study some type of english/education as a major and minor in photography??

[solemn hamlet]

the minor in photography would only be valuable to learn the stuff taught in the minor, which is pretty bad at most unis, outdated and incomplete

you definetely dont need a degree to be a photographer and most definetely dont need to take a minor if u wanna do it as a hobby or side business, there are better ways to learn too

[red path]

What classes would be best to take if I wanted to be a photographer or some major in nursing 🤔

[solemn hamlet]

We don't even know what classes your high school has

[red path]

It’s mostly IB

[unreal sphinx]

I would kms

I’m sorry but for students like me who didn’t know wtf was coming, Algebra absolutely knocked the wind out of you.

[vast oracle]

does anyone go to a high school where you can take ap classes?

like your freshman year

[coral crane]

ye why?

[rocky grove]

Freshman can take AP Precal, AP Government, AP Comp Sci Principles, and AP Human Geography here.

[balmy delta]

What’s your guys opinion of AP world as a class? People say it’s pretty hard but world history is my favorite type os history so im thinking of taking it next year

[rocky grove]

If it's a subject you're interested in, definitely take the class!

AP World is not that difficult just a bunch of reading.

[shut tinsel]

I've finished pretty much all of my credits so far, and I only have a few more to go, but I still have years of highschool left. For the college I intend on going to, I have to have a math and english class every year, but I don't have enough credits left to get me through the rest of highschool.
Is AP Pre-Calc as hard as everyone is making it seem? AP Chem too?

[sullen hearth]

Just depends on how good you are at math and chemistry

[shut tinsel]

We don't talk about my math skills🫢

[rocky grove]

AP precal isn't hard at all, AP Chem is tough if you aren't interested or good at chemistry

[rocky grove]

If you're doing alright in your current level you can do AP Precal

[balmy delta]

Ok ok other kids who taken it at my school said its the most hardest AP at our school and people barely get As which worries me

[shut tinsel]

I'm in MH3 right now, and I've been getting refused tutoring so I'm not doing that well. By is it hard, I mean to like..your average person. Not someone who's good at math

[rocky grove]

That shouldn't be the case unless your teacher(s) are specifically bad

[sullen hearth]

Shouldn’t be

I don’t think it’s that hard to the average person, for chemistry i think it is hard for the average person

[shut tinsel]

Ah..cause for mine, if I take AP calc (i don't rlly have a choice), I also have to take AP chem

[sullen hearth]

depends on how good you are tho

Oh

I mean you’ll be fine

have you taken an honors chemistry or any chemistry b4

[rocky grove]

You can do it if you try

[balmy delta]

I go to a small school so its the same teacher and mostly people say the class isn’t hard its the teacher and her workload that she puts on people since its only your second year of HS.. someone who’s taking it said its find and you can get an A.. I’m already in AP HUG so i feel like ill be sorta prepared

[rocky grove]

It shouldn't be much harder than huge

a natural step up given it's the next year

[balmy delta]

Yeah i just can’t get a B in the class since im trying to keep my 4.0

[shut tinsel]

I had 2 B's and I still had a 4.3 last semester

[balmy delta]

Theres multiple GPAs that you have

[shut tinsel]

wait what

[balmy delta]

Theres GPA, WTD GPA, CORE, and CORE GPA

[shut tinsel]

...

I thought it was js weighted and unweighted...

[balmy delta]

Your GPA is effected by like your letter grades, WTD GPA is like effected by the courses credit so honors and AP add to more, core is just basic core classes by letter, and Core WTD is core classes but effected by your course credits

[shut tinsel]

I've never heard of WTD or Core WTD. But yeahh..my GPA was a 4.3 last year with two B's and 2 A's. But I also had all honors, so it's a 4.5 maximum for each class.

[balmy delta]

Collages look at all of them so for me its important to keep that 4.0

[shut tinsel]

OSU is looking harder n harder to get to I swr

[final helm]

yeah

[empty pagoda]

Really? I thought Algebra was pretty straightforward and simple when I took it this year

But ig some schools might have different curriculum and everyone is different

[unreal sphinx]

My teacher was also the worst teacher I ever had

Algebra is actually one of the biggest GPA killers for students

Especially that Algebra I

And one of the most failed classes

A lot of students don’t know what the hell they are walking into for it

[lost echo]
