There’s other things as well

worldly flume
#

The graphs are box plots or crater plots but there’s a grass with 2SEx bars

#

Error bar graphs

worldly flume
#

is it easy to learn

#

like the graphs

willow mesa
#

I think so I’m having difficulty though

#

I haven’t done well for tests since my teachers spam me with busy work causing me to sleep late and have no time to study

willow mesa
#

Next year I’m doing better tho

#

As soon as next year starts I begin practicing for the exam and preparing for it little by little each day

#

And doing all my work in an even fashion

worldly flume
#

no thats rly good

#

willow mesa
#

I’m gonna do mini study sessions next year in August during lunch or at home

worldly flume
#

Maybe web development or ux ui designing

willow mesa
worldly flume
#

oo nice computers 😭😭

willow mesa
#

I might add more to it though

#

yeah my brother goes there to

worldly flume
willow mesa
#

I’m getting many requests from colleges for admissions and scholarships tho

#

Only problem is I have no idea how those work and I might not have enough time to learn about it

willow mesa
#

Il probably learn about it during senior year tho

worldly flume
#

ima apply early to colleges

willow mesa
#

Cuz I have one year left until college

#

Gonna have to say goodbye to Hugh schoo

Is taking these classes in junior year a good idea?

AP Pre-calc
AP Lang
AP World
AP Chem
AP Psych
AP Mac (Semester-long)
AP Gov (Semester-long)
Ceramics and Sculptures 1 (Semester-long)

#

its fine

#

im doing 6 APs

#

and im taking teh harder ones

gilded wing
#

AP Pre-Calc seems pointless? I think most colleges would want a calc AP instead.

waxen hinge
#

im sure they can do it if they have the motivation

gilded wing
waxen hinge

#

you cant just say some kid can heathily manage 7 APs as lon gas "they have the motivation"

just cause you did 6

chrome sequoia
#

is this chat for like college courses or extra time in school?

waxen hinge
#

its not what i meant lol

#

im saying

#

if the kid wants to take 7 APs

#

they are gonna need a lot of motivation

timid dune
#

Hi

waxen hinge
#

im taking 6 yes but I have seen ppl take 7 , 8, even 9

#

not tryna demotivate them

#

they can always drop afterwards

#

also pre calc does seem useless

#

dont take pre calc

#

@tiny lily

gilded wing
#

AP Pre-Calc is practically useless.
And I'm willing to say you can delay some of them for your senior year.

waxen hinge
#

pre CALC SUCKS

#

DONT

#

TAKE IT

#

OMG

gilded wing
#

If you're also an art student, it'd probably be best to take an art AP, though I don't know which ones exist.

waxen hinge
#

😭 WHY DID THEY EVEN MAKE IT A THINg

gilded wing
#

I mean, they might not be able to take calculus immediately? Though even then it'd be better to take honors precalc.

waxen hinge
#

no ik that

#

Im saying why did collegeboard even make that desicion

#

that class is not a gpa booster if ur not good at math

#

precalc is harder than bc and ab

gilded wing
waxen hinge
#

yeah

#

i still see no point bc ppl who arent good at math are not recoomended for that class

#

loll

gilded wing
#

tbf kids who aren't good at math are probs not taking the initiative to ask to be put into an AP math class lol

tiny lily
tiny lily

#

Definitely no but my gpa has been bad with my regular classes because of sucking teachers so just wanted to take as many aps with good teachers as possible.

#

I dont want to take spanish 3 for my junior year cuz gosh i hate the life out of it. So its' either that, Ap mac and gov, an elective, or physics

brazen trout
#

it sucks having to take spanish

tiny lily
#

But it's not a requirement in college is it?

#

My gpa is getting shot at because of spanish and it's not gonna look good for T20s

Is this good for my younger brother?(10th grade)

  1. Hon Soph Eng
  2. Hon Pre Calc
  3. Spanish III
  4. A.P. Bio
  5. A.P. World
  6. A.P. Comp Sci A
#

I told him to take normal chem before AP chem, but he says he doesn’t need to, what do u guys think abt it?

abstract gulch
#

Just take spanish III

abstract gulch
#

But I’ll not tell him

#

I told him so many times

#

But he says it’s alr

#

So I wanna see how it goes😙

#

All my friends took AP Chemistry in their sophomore year

#

Did they take normal chem before?

# abstract gulch Really?

I mean I could've as well, but...I transferred in the middle of the school year, so that messed up all my plans lol

#

all freshmen at my school are required to take a general science class

#

i think its called integrated science or smth?

Good luck

grim wind

i took it in my sophomore year

#

useless class

abstract gulch
#

Ok

#

I’m taking it next year

#

So I’ll see

#

Gl on both ap phys and chem

grim wind
#

yeah

#

i mainly blame my counselor tho

#

she saw that I was in the IB pathway and was taking pre-IB bio, so she was like "lets put this guy in regular biology"

#

even though it was obvious that an academic asset like me was going to take AP bio later in my secondary education

#

I am definitely taking all of the AP classes:

AP Macroeconomics
AP US History
AP Calculus AB
AP Physics 1
AP Chemistry
AP Lang
Spanish II

But I am worried about Spanish II

#

I know ivys need 4 years of foreign language, so should I take Spanish 1-4 and leave it? Or should I take AP Spanish? (Keep in mind my school requires you to take Spanish 1-4 to take AP Spanish)

Is taking AP computer science principals my sophomore year a bad choice?

Should I take ap bio and ap chem in the same year

Depends on your likings. I think AP Chem is really hard.

#

What course should I take? I really want to be a Doctor (Family Medicine Physician) what course should I take?

@heavy drum atio if you feel like you can handle that sort of courseload go for it. I'm doing physics 1 and bio (along with a few other aps) in the same year, and it's not too bad. I think chem and bio would be a harder combo though. what are you planning on taking outside of sciences? If the rest of your coursework is rigorous then you might want to consider splitting them across 2 years.

#

@barren chasm Depending on your senior courseload and how many/which schools you're interested in applying to, you can log into the CommonApp and start learning about which schools you're applying to as early as this summer. Idk I just know that a bunch of my due dates were in November, December, and January, which led to a lot of procrastination and such. Submitting college applications along with a heavy senior courseload can be difficult, so you might want to consider starting on your applications this summer.

Im a freshmen going in to 10th grade or sophomore. These are the classes I chose. Ignore the "prerequisites not met" it is a glitch and i have met them.

cunning perch
#

@barren chasm again it depends a lot on the classes you take as a senior and the colleges you plan to apply to. If you have a full rigorous schedule, or you're applying to UCs/schools with a low acceptance rate, it's better to start sooner rather than later. If you're taking a lighter courseload, or you're applying to a state school/community college, it's okay to wait a bit longer. Idk but I had a full schedule with APs and college courses, and that + scholarships + college apps REALLY sucked, especially in December and such.

hey, I am in grade 9 and in the IB syllabus where the choice I make next year pretty much decides my career but I am not sure what to choose. I need to choose 2 out of 3 sciences and 2 out of 5 arts (PHE, VA, Drama, Design and Music). Any advice on how to choose?

cunning perch

#

whats a good math course to take after ap calc bc?

cunning perch
#

@wanton stream multivariable or vector calculus is what I took after ab (my school doesn't have bc). with bc credit you'll probably get more out of it than i did

solemn hamlet
wanton stream
#

well in the hs i will be going into

#

its not called actually calc bc

#

its just calc c/multi var calc

solemn hamlet
cunning perch
#

ah

wanton stream
#

it counts for ap calc bc

#

youd take that ap exam for that class

cunning perch
#

if you've already done infinite series and matrix algebra, you can take differential equations, linear algebra, etc maybe? there's no ap exam for just calc 3

wanton stream
#

Discrete Mathematics, Business Calculus, Linear Algebra or Differential Equations

solemn hamlet
cunning perch
#

I don't have experience with linear algebra but I'd probably take that or diff eq. if you're interested in engineering. I know almost nothing about business calc or discrete math so idk

Is A levels global perspectives more highly valued while applying for colleges or A levels in critical thinking

serene isle

#

So if you want to be an engineer, computer science and ict would be more suited, however if you want to be an engineer and choose drama, then it's self explanatory.

#

Some unis/colleges specifically say they don't accept those

serene isle
#

Wait

#

Those are a level courses?

opal talon
#

Yep

I didn't know they existed tbh.

They won't take you anywhere so doesn't really matter lol

I'm going into O levels next year

#

Any tips?

opal talon

O levels? Are those a thing or did you mean A levels

#

Cause otherwise I have no idea what they are

#

They are also called o level

#

General Certificate of Secondary School

#

Lol

Oh I didn't they were also called that

#

Tbh I have no specific tip

#

Other than the general

#

Slacking will cost you

serene isle
#

Alr thanks

opal talon
#

At my school where I did mine most people failed

serene isle
#

Oh

#

Thanks for the advice

young pasture
opal talon
#

But remember that most places will completely disregard those subjects which might make your time and effort vane

young pasture
opal talon
#

Already having 4 subjects takes away lots of free periods

#

The last subject being the hard would be even more stressful and give you less time overall for studying

#

(lots of students regret picking 4 in their second year)

#

However you must remember that you can back out of any subject in case it was too much

#

Some schools might try to dissuade you but it is a option,just don't do it right before or during exam period

Any other advice, please?

#

Heyy!! Il going into 8th grade and need to pick subs for igcses. I had some questions regarding that.

  1. If I'm aiming for an ivy league university how many subs should I take?
  2. Suppose i hv quite a lot of subs so is it going to be ok to give them in two sittings?
  3. When it come to universities does the exam board u gave ur igcses from matter i.e. I'm from edexcel and I keep hearing ppl saying things like cambridge is more standard and it has a higher acceptance rate in uni compared to edexcel. So I'm considering if I should switch to cambridge or not.

it reflects on your transcript, at worst a B in an AP is better than an A in a regular class but a C is very harmful to a college app and a transcript

#

exam score is standardized

#

and is what really matters

#

if you choose to enroll in an ap

#

I know several people who pay the $100 exam fee, work hard all year, get lazy in april and don't do well on the exam

#

no point in taking the class if you're going to do that

#

15 years of work experience for an entry level job

noble dawn
#

well cory said he wants to go to usc 🤷‍♀️

#

idk if that changes the convo lol

slate garden
#

usc is like

#

top 30?

#

right

#

I think

noble dawn
#

12%

slate garden
#

12%

#

yeah

#

so like tier 2

noble dawn
#

its slightly easier than harvard obviously

slate garden
#

tier 1 being all the 5-8 percenters

#

i'm happy the sat requirement is returning

#

yeah

#

taking easy aps doesn't help much either

#

they know what the easy aps are

sand ridge
#

Film production

noble dawn
#

oh

sand ridge
#

Not really any ap’s to help 😭

slate garden
#

and can see right through a portfolio loaded with ap world history, ap psych, ap comp sci principles, apes, etc

noble dawn
#

extracurriculars are good then

slate garden
#

what grade are you in

sand ridge
#

So then a good portfolio is much more important than taking more ap’s

slate garden
#

junior?

sand ridge
#

Gotcha

slate garden
#

for every person

sand ridge
#

Right

noble dawn
#

thans the only AP

#

but he's involved with the video production so extracurriculars are good

slate garden
#

i want to major in applied mathematics and go into a stem field so i'm taking ap chemistry, physics c, calc bc, bio, etc to boost the application. for something like film production there aren't rlly many aps for that so in that case its way better to go deep into a few ec's

#

oh lol

He always talks about how the video production teacher is always complaining

It’s so funny

U dont have to take a history class in the future if u do good on the ap exam

#

do u think ppl take it cause they wanna be historians or some shit 😂

#

rarely

#

u need ur gen ed

#

💀

#

ok well then dont take it im just saying u can clear those credits

#

😂😂

#

Also taking apush shows u can take on challenges

#

and u can do well in various classes not just 1 or 2

#

But ur life is ur life do what u want

yeah it does

True, one major flaw is that you have to pass ONE exam to get the credit, if you fail that no credit. Doesn't matter how well you did in the class, even if you had a 100 no credit and $-100

Hi, I'm a sophomore and I wanted to ask for some admissions advice. You see, I want to be in the film industry as a career in the future, and currently I'm taking my first year of a digital video production class offered here at my school. I'm also currently taking Japanese 2, and they're both only one period. I've received news that both the video class and Japanese 3 are at the same period, which means I can't take both next year. I've already chosen the video class for now because it's what I want to do as a career later on, but I feel as though I don't want to abandon Japanese. Not that I want to improve my transcript, but that I enjoy the class and have a bond with it. It's challenging but I'm definitely engaged in the class. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy my video class too, but I hope you can see where my dilemma is now. So would you rather see that I had 3 years of being in my video class, or only one year in that class but 4 years in Japanese? Sorry for the long paragraph by the way.

My school does not offer AP Calc BC and AP Stats, both of which I believe are crucial to my success in the computer science major. What can I do now that I can't even get a math credit in my senior year? (I am taking AP Calc AB in my junior year, so there is no harder math class to take in my senior year)

#

I think I also fell behind compared to my friends in other schools, one of them is taking linear algebra right now and then complex analysis next year, while I just got to Calculus

also since i like art

it can be when you grasp concepts well

atleast for me thats how i can find math easy

when i understand

and can work it

into the problem

which i need to work on more

because stats and trig are kinda hard for me concept wise

like geometric sequences are so annoying

dusky seal

yeah.

i hate them lol they are weird

and then i had to learn how to do sequences on a calculator and i got all mixed up ;,)

like i understood sequences at first

Guys help. Should I continue band or take AP Statistics next year as a sophomore. (I only need one more math credit to graduate, id be acquiring three math credits next yr if I take AP Statistics + in magnet school for entirety of hs)

void plover

stay in band, you can take stats whenever but it'll be hard to join back band after a year off

Would aerospace engineering count?

Alr!

#

I couldn't agree more lol

void plover
#

How many AP courses do yall think i could handle without having a mental breakdown as a sophomore

cerulean zinc
#

Three max imo

proper snow
#

Chat should I take IB American History

void plover

so would APHG, AP Euro, and AP Chem be good?

cerulean zinc
#

Yep, but keep in mind that AP Euro and AP Chem are one of the harder APs

void plover
#

ooooh ok

#

is there a science class that would help with chem or nah

cerulean zinc
#

Do that might help

#

So*

void plover
#

Im probably wrong but wouldn't it be a waste of time to take chem twice

cerulean zinc
#

Not rly, bc chem honors is basics and foundations and then AP Chem is building on it and going into deeper and harder topics

Upcoming 9th Grader, was wondering what AP classes, if any should I take. Planning on taking Spanish 1, if I follow the linear line I'll be taking Algebra 2 this year, along with World Geography, Biology, and Pre AP English 1, haven't decided on an elective yet, but taking Health and Proffessional Communications just to get my required out the way and have more room next year.

#

Any and all tips are welcome

golden bronze
#

ehats ap english 1

golden bronze
#

like if u goin in med plan on taking things like ap bio sum time in ur hs carrer

#

dont limit ur courses to only ur major

#

rho

#

if u doing cs get a jump on math and cs courses like ap csp or smth

#

i only know bout cs so i would recommend doing harder courses cause its getting rly competitive

#

yeah

sturdy tendon
#

I took basic computer principles this year but I do have an interest in it
Still trying to decide on my career but I know it will be related to aerospace
Been my dream for years and hoping to make it happen

golden bronze
#

me? yeah

golden bronze
#

me for example i heard bout software dev and tried it for a year

#

that shi was ass

#

so i tried ai and rly liked it

#

so spend a year or less trying to exapnd ur knowledge on cs pathways outside of school

#

then in the next year do things liek robotics, tsa (drone comps), or model roketing competitions

#

also get into research projects as early as possible and send these emails to community colleges for s position in their labs or smth

sturdy tendon
#

Question for whoever sees this, is it possible to get a head start or even completely do an AP Class online besides the exam during the summer?

void plover
#

over 50% pass rate and that includes the people who don't know what they're doing so you'd probably find it easy

void plover
#

are calc ab and bc meant to be either/or or is it one or the other

Do any of you think that 4 Honors and an AP is a bit much for Freshman Year?

I have one more class open what should I take?

#

I have already talked AP Stats and AP Chem this year

jolly granite
weary dust
#

Have to take calc bc first

warped sinew
#

while stats exam people stuggl with it more since the content is soo diffrent

#

look up the course content first on khan academy first and see if you are interested in the content

void plover
#

hey I'm trying to lay out the rest of my schedule so Ik what to expect and here's what I have so far, can yall tell me what to change and help fill in some blanks

9: H Bio, H World History, H Geom, English I, Band

10: H Chem, H Alg 2, H English II, Band, APHG, Fitness

11: AP Chem, AP Precalc, H English III, AP Euro, Band

12: AP Physics 1, AP Lit, APUSH, Band

I've got a lot of gaps and senior year looks a little much once there's 8 classes if anyone has any recommendations for the gaps and maybe swaps that'd be great

warped sinew
#

i would swap APHG with AP euro since there is more overlap with world history

#

what do you mean about the part in senoir year

void plover
#

Cuz APUSH and Lit are both hard classes and I assume physics is too, so adding 5 classes onto that would be interesting

#

Also I took a semester of APHG so Ik units 1-3 but I had to move over Christmas so I don't have the credit so I thought it'd be an easy A since Ik almost half of it

void plover
#

What's that

proper snow
#

Chat next year, should I take IB Chem, IB English, IB American History, and Algebra II Honors? I can't take any AP until senior other than AP Lit
