course-selection

[dusky seal]

all of my friends are taking lang

what if stayed motivated and on top of it

thats just what killed me this year

if i fix that

surely i could?

but maybe not?

?

[lone lion]

do it

😊

[forest crystal]

i agree

7th graders can't take AP?

Unless you're advanced in math.

[opaque wedge]

@cinder gorge I don't think 7th graders can take AP courses sorry!

[tepid sun]

First you need to figure out your high school course list, which can usually be found on their website. Find perquisites and see what your interests are

Advanced Placement

[opaque wedge]

AP means advanced placement, and it's usually for high school credit I believe.

[tepid sun]

college credit

[opaque wedge]

Ah, my bad sorry!

[tepid sun]

You have to meet certain academic requirements set by your school and then you can be in the class.

Like an 80% in the previous honors course or 90% in CP

[robust carbon]

Another 7th grader.

[opaque wedge]

You can choose to be in that class, at least at my school, you just have to pass a specific test usually taken in the spring time to get the college credit.

[tepid sun]

For example, my school requires you to pass pre-ap bio with an 85% to take AP bio

[robust carbon]

They're cooking.

[tepid sun]

cook

[opaque wedge]

Oh ooop- my school doesn't have any requirements for AP classes.

😭

[tepid sun]

not if you're willing to put in a lot of hardwork

[robust carbon]

[tepid sun]

My school doesn't allow freshman to take AP because of reqs, but freshman can rarely double up

[robust carbon]

Double up?

[tepid sun]

Which is why I plan on doubling up 3 core classes sophomore year

[robust carbon]

Oooo.

[opaque wedge]

Same here. It's usually reserved for sophomores to seniors.

[tepid sun]

buddy im not even in high school yet 😭

i'm a rising freshman

[robust carbon]

Check in #study-tips

(The pins)

[opaque wedge]

At my school, you can take two science classes per year or more. That's what we mean by doubling up at least at my school!

Since we have two semesters.

[robust carbon]

Okay.

[tepid sun]

You can double up anything, ss, science, math (not english) at my school

but it eats your electives

[opaque wedge]

Yeah, it does!

[tepid sun]

so i'd have no electives sophomore year

since i'd be taking 8 core classes

[opaque wedge]

Are you doubling up on anything?

[tepid sun]

everything but english

[opaque wedge]

Wow! Are you trying to get ahead in them?

[tepid sun]

hopefully i'll be allowed im very convincing. im trying to let my school let me double up ev and bio this year

[tepid sun]

i want to finish 14/16 ap classes my school offers

[robust carbon]

Are you just going to email them or something?

[opaque wedge]

That's a good goal to have!

[tepid sun]

I emailed my request, shared my last years grades, and a few things i've done in the past like professional tutoring at a company

for science

[robust carbon]

I'm so behind

[tepid sun]

NO

[robust carbon]

8th grade?

[tepid sun]

yes

[opaque wedge]

Wow! It seems like you're so advanced then!

[tepid sun]

not really

[opaque wedge]

What makes you say that?

[robust carbon]

I had a 98 😔

[robust carbon]

My ecs are...

[tepid sun]

its an A+ 😭

[opaque wedge]

A 98 is AMAZING!!

[tepid sun]

this is your freshman year chilll

[opaque wedge]

It's an A+!!

[tepid sun]

i just signed up for everything since i dont do sports

i have a lot of time for other activities

[opaque wedge]

Haha, that's kind of what I did my freshman year this year.

[tepid sun]

every piece of advice i hear says dont do sports unless you are state ranked and are going for althletic scholarships

[opaque wedge]

Oh, really?

That's interesting.

[tepid sun]

3 hour practices daily kill you

with AP courseload and ecs

[opaque wedge]

That is true lol!

[robust carbon]

I just like to do them for fun.

[opaque wedge]

I'm still debating on whether or not I want to aim for a military academy, in which I need both sports and other ecs.

[tepid sun]

but when you have 5 hours of hw nightly

[robust carbon]

[opaque wedge]

It won't be worth it if you have more than 5 hours of hw daily I think!

[tepid sun]

you could go straight in the military

get out and theyll pay for college

[robust carbon]

Idk if it's daily...

[opaque wedge]

You mean enlist after high school? 😭

[tepid sun]

my best friends sister is a junior and she came home with a 4 inch stack of hw

[tepid sun]

yeah

[opaque wedge]

You'll get a lot of homework depending on the class!

[tepid sun]

i thought about it and realized im not even meeting the height:weight ration so

[robust carbon]

Some homework can be a breeze depending on your strengths

[tepid sun]

yeah but ap bio, ap precalc, ap sem..

[opaque wedge]

I don't want to enlist sorry!! I want to go to college first then maybe enter the military as a 2nd lieutenant

[tepid sun]

I see

as an officer

[opaque wedge]

Possibly at least

[robust carbon]

AP Sem?

[opaque wedge]

Then become a doctor

[tepid sun]

Ap seminar

[robust carbon]

Never heard of it being hard.

[tepid sun]

Not hard just a lot of work since its a huge group assignment

its just time

[opaque wedge]

Ohh! I probably don't meet it either tbh, and probably would fail the fitness exams

[tepid sun]

you dont have enough time

[opaque wedge]

Yep!

[tepid sun]

I want to major in bio and then narrow my specialty to radiation oncology in med school

[robust carbon]

Cool!

[opaque wedge]

I want to go into pre med too! But narrow my specialty to neurology

[tepid sun]

maybe a double major or minor in poli science

[opaque wedge]

That would be cool!

It could be a backup if radiation oncology doesn't work out

[tepid sun]

awesome!! the brain is super cool

[opaque wedge]

I agree! :))

[tepid sun]

if i didnt want to be a doctor id love getting in government

MUN, Debate, DECA, all my kind of things

[opaque wedge]

Honestly, same tbh! Or perhaps an engineer

[opaque wedge]

Model UN seems like fun!

I wish my school had that

Well they tried making a club!

[tepid sun]

There are specialists who advice the UN, but I don't know about that

[opaque wedge]

But it didn't quite work out

[robust carbon]

Yes! An engineer!

[opaque wedge]

Ohh yeah, I think so too!

[opaque wedge]

Yep! Possibly something in aerospace if medicine doesn't work out.

[tepid sun]

Electrical, biomedical, mechanical?

[robust carbon]

Aerospace!

[opaque wedge]

Aerospace is so cool!!!

[robust carbon]

Yep.

[tepid sun]

try for a nasa internship

when youre 16

[opaque wedge]

Yeah!!

They're always looking for people @robust carbon

[robust carbon]

That's on my to-do list.

[tepid sun]

i plan on volunteering at my local cancer clinic, shadowing oncologists at cancer research centers, and getting an internship (hopefully)

[robust carbon]

That sounds great!

Are you going to join HOSA?

[tepid sun]

i also want to start a nonprofit in my community where we crotchet and knit for raise money for st. jude

[tepid sun]

prob

[robust carbon]

Nice

Do you want to?

As a fellow french enthusiast, Le francais est plus bien.

[tepid sun]

im proud i understood that

[quasi vector]

i wasn’t planning on taking all of them, i am just needing help deciding between the four

[worldly flume]

i would recommend chem & maybe AP Bio

[pulsar falcon]

What type of spanish courses do they offer at your school and what are you planning to take? Is it an introduction to spanish or spanish 1? (spanish 1 is a high school course)

but generally yes, youll get exposure to foreign language so it will be easier for you once you start high school

because its a requirement for colleges and i think for high school grad

[deft maple]

You should do JROTC then

[sullen hearth]

depends on which grade they are in and what classes they are taking

[opaque wedge]

I do Civil Air Patrol (:

[sullen hearth]

what grade are u in

[ornate shuttle]

How difficult is ap environmental science and also ap human geography?

[sullen hearth]

both very easy

[lone lion]

Dont underestimate them

They tend to be on the easier side

[worldly flume]

apes was so fun n honestly not that challenging

[ornate shuttle]

Okay thanks all of you

[cinder gorge]

L

[woven island]

my school offers ap calc ab (im in canada) but i want to do engineering, and ive heard that unis just ignore ap calc credits for engineering. should i take ap calc then? or is it not worth it? i want to go to ubc btw

[full tinsel]

Check UBC's AP Course credit policy

[woven island]

didnt see anything there about the credit not counting for engineering (https://you.ubc.ca/applying-ubc/applied/first-year-credit/)

also, im doing sem 2 of gr11 right now and im finishing precal 11 this sem

and my ap calc class is a year long course

so next year i would be doing

precal 12 as well as ap calc

at the same time

is that even like a good idea?

im also taking physics 12 in the same semester

[dim gorge]

Not sure abt the ap policy but i suggest taking it because as an engineering student, you will have to take calculus courses (my sister said calculus 1 and 2 are extensions from high school) so it’ll help you out in the long term too (my sister is an engineering student at ubc)

She said it helped her out- cause first year is hella stressful at ubc because that’s when they weed out everyone and it’s super competitive cause everyone is in competition for second year picks

[grim wind]

i would learn it just for the class

in my personal opinion i don't see why someone shouldnt learn basic calc in high school if they have the option regardless of college sentiment

[woven island]

i see

if not about the ap policy, the question comes to whether the workload is manageable, but i guess thats entirely dependent on me

[woven island]

thats fair

okay thanks guys

ill probably try to cover the material over summer break so that its a bit easier to manage the class next year

[mortal crater]

guys should i take AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY OR AP GOV FOR FRESHMAN YEAR

[coarse sigil]

human geo

[mortal crater]

k

[deft maple]

Which one goes towards your major or gen eds?

[sullen hearth]

ap gov is a requirement for me. Not ap, but just government. So maybe go for government

[deft maple]

Yeah some kind of US government, US history, or African American studies is usually required at most colleges

[sullen hearth]

US history, Gov, and one other history is required for me to graduate.

[deft maple]

Oh I thought you meant college

[ornate shuttle]

What are some good classes to take sophomore year?

[robust carbon]

The classes that you can take, related to your major, and that you can handle.

[slender pawn]

Should I take more AP classes or classes for careers I wanna go in(business classes like entrepreneurship, accounting, personal finance, finance and investment, etc). This is especially regarding ivys like UPenn Wharton cuz I know they want u to take classes that challenge u to the best of your ability.

[slender pawn]

Because I’m sure I could handle easier APs like psyc but not sure if I should take them

[river coyote]

I somehow got into maths acceleration

[paper ice]

now i would say both, since some ap classes do support what u plan on doing for your career such as ap micro and macro economics (for finance the ap math classes are great as well)

for career-involved classes, dual enrollment is amazing but i only suggest it if you really want to challenge yourself

but you should be aware of what your limits are

so dont bombard yourself with many ap classes and career classes unless you're absolutely prepared for the challenge

[slender pawn]

Yea that’s what I was thinking like economics and statistics will help but I meant elective wise

[paper ice]

what electives are available in your school?

honestly, challenging ap exams is good as well, like if u want to do ap psych, you can challenge it, study hard and get a 5

[paper ice]

i would not recommend for statistics or economics, unless you're confident in understanding the curriculum

[paper ice]

for electives, its always good to space the aps by year (so freshmen year, statistics, sohpomore economics, etc. etc.) but this depends on ur school i think?

[slender pawn]

Regarding ap and business wise: ap seminar, ap psycology, ap research and you can double on social studies I believe, for business there accounting, marketing, entrepreneurship, business management in sports,
Personal finance, finance and investment

[slender pawn]

Economics is a social studies so typically it happens during junior or senior year for us and stat should be done after precalc so also junior senior year

[slender pawn]

What do you mean, how would we know?

[paper ice]

this only applies if you want to challenge the ap exams for statistics or economics (as in you're self-studying for the exam). this is only based off of my peers' experiences and expectations but if u want to challenge an exam, some colleges expect for you to get a 5 for them (im hoping a 4 suffices as well)

[paper ice]

i see

im assuming ur doing geometry rn?

[slender pawn]

Algebra 2

[slender pawn]

I suppose I could but for some reason I feel like I should take them as courses instead of self studying

[paper ice]

yes i agree

it really is an option

[paper ice]

but for the math classes, to be entirely honest, u can do algebra 2 over the summer through an online course or dual enrollment, get credit for that, and take precalc in sophomore year

[sullen hearth]

he’s in alg 2

[deft maple]

I can help you

Want to move to DMs?

[main storm]

If the APs don’t relate to your major probably don’t take them (like ap bio for business)

But if it’s like in the middle w like ap psychology since it kinda is like a universal class imo it depends

If u have the free space in ur schedule I would take it

[deft maple]

He said AP psychology not AP physics

[main storm]

Yeah I meant that I just abbreviated it

[cinder gorge]

Enjoy it while it lasts

[lone lion]

What

😀

u are NOT class of 2028

Dont lie😭

[forest crystal]

are you like going into 7th grade or

[forest crystal]

but i agree

[cinder gorge]

me?

no 💀

[cinder gorge]

i’m saying this as a rising sophomore

[forest crystal]

no not you i mean rain

[forest crystal]

samee

is it smart to take all the aps at my school (its only 9) if im not sure what i wanna major in?

[coral crane]

if its not the same year then ye well u can do it in the same yr i wouldnt recommend it

[sullen hearth]

prob

9 is very doable

[bronze oxide]

So, what subjects should I choose for 11th grade if I want to become a medical doctor? Also, should I join humanitarian clubs and volunteer for various activities?
HIGH SCHOOL : arrowhead high school and early college

[lone lion]

Thanks for telling us ur school

Im coming now to tell u advice!!😍😍😍

[forest crystal]

science classes like biology chemistry physics, anatomy, calculus

maybe ap pyschology

[forest crystal]

pick me up otw there

[lone lion]

um 🧐🤓

Stranger danger

[bronze oxide]

So which subject and clubs would be best 👌

[forest crystal]

these

[bronze oxide]

Ok how about clubs

Thx

[forest crystal]

uhh no idea on that one sorry

but yw

[bronze oxide]

Oh that's ok thx 😊 alot

Alot

[forest crystal]

of coursee

[deft maple]

Join a sport

[forest crystal]

and maybe you shouldnt tell people your high school unless you really dont care😭

[deft maple]

Too late

He’s cooked 💀😭

[lone lion]

Ggs

[deft maple]

Yo his school is big

I could lowkey doxx this guy rn

[deft maple]

Can I doxx you?

[lone lion]

.

Why is bro saying that in a discord server

[deft maple]

What?

This is very legal

I’m asking for consent

@bronze oxide Yo how are your athletic facilities so nice

[weary atlas]

Agreed

[cinder gorge]

True

It is legal if they have consent

[sonic moss]

can you take honors or ap class in the summer probably not ap cuz exams r in may right

[lone lion]

yes

Depends on ur school

And also

[sonic moss]

okay

[lone lion]

Theres courses online

[sonic moss]

ok

[lone lion]

U jst gotta research urself

ok

[sonic moss]

ok ty

[lone lion]

ok yes

!!

[deft maple]

There’s clep but it’s self study only

[glacial onyx]

Any college people how does this look for a freshman first semester

Undecided major btw but thinking about chem

[eager moss]

Is AP seminar interesting for colleges

[full tinsel]

100% u should

Not take AP Seminar

[lone lion]

💀

@eager moss just take the course

[ornate shuttle]

Why not

[full tinsel]

I mean it depends on ur major

[eager moss]

Why 💀

[full tinsel]

Cuz colleges don't rlly care about Capstone

[eager moss]

I wanna be in business/finance

[eager moss]

Srsly

[full tinsel]

I mean

Is AP Capstone considered English?

[lone lion]

it still helps bruh

[eager moss]

For my school science

[lone lion]

just take the course if u want

😭

[eager moss]

I do

[full tinsel]

Hmmmm

Interesting

At my school it can be taken instead of English 10

[ornate shuttle]

I haven’t taken an AP class yet I’m taking Ap human geography but want to take either ap environmental science or ap seminar. Which would you guys recommend?

[full tinsel]

Depends on ur major

[eager moss]

I had honors english 10 and it was fun asf

I loved the projects and people

[full tinsel]

Honors English 10 is so good

I want to throw it in the trash

[candid sphinx]

is apush and ap precalc hard

for anyone who’s taken it

[full tinsel]

Precalc ez, APUSH depends on ur teacher

Content itself wasn't that bad

U just memorize stuff and how it connects to the space time continum

[candid sphinx]

ohhhh ok

[ornate shuttle]

I want to do business or biology. Maybe economics

[full tinsel]

Probably APES

For busniess I would knock AP Macro and Micro

[ornate shuttle]

It sucks because my school doesn’t offer a ton of choices for ap classes

[full tinsel]

U should probably prioritize AP Macro/Micro and Calculus

[eager moss]

Alright

[full tinsel]

AP Seminar should be banned by the UN

That was worse than water drip torture

[ornate shuttle]

😭😭

[eager moss]

FR 💀

[full tinsel]

Why r u crying for a tool of war?

[ornate shuttle]

Should I skin geometry and go to algebra 2?

[coarse sigil]

what if they only offer it too seniors

[ornate shuttle]

Skip*

[full tinsel]

Still do it I would say

At least get the math done by junior year

Everyone loves math

[full tinsel]

Shame that AP Busniess Princples hasn't been released

[coarse sigil]

what

the hell is that

[coarse sigil]

ap econ > ap mac and micro???

[main storm]

I feel like Micro/Macro cover the business department

Do you guys think this is a good selection of courses for sophomore year? Will it be manageable with EC's/Clubs? (AP Cybersecurity is an AP CollegeBoard is testing at my school)

[hollow shard]

with good time management, definitely

[dense matrix]

Man my school ain’t got AP cyber security wish I had that

[full tinsel]

Wth is AP Cyber Security?

[dense matrix]

School probably tests to see if you can stop people from hacking into things like corporate documents or smth

[hollow shard]

yeah what is this

[dense matrix]

I can only take AP world freshmen year

[full tinsel]

I hope they add AP Multivari Calc

And AP Korean

And AP looksmaxxing

[coarse sigil]

are u korean?

[deft maple]

At least there’s CLEP

[deft maple]

That might be too advanced tbh

[full tinsel]

Of course

[coarse sigil]

aye fellow korean

[abstract gulch]

Or really?

I saw u here pretty often

Good to know

[grand parcel]

is AP bio worth taking with limited bio experience? ive heard both extremes on it when it comes to difficulty.

[rotund gazelle]

As long as you keep up and study then your good

[coral crane]

Just understand all the basic concepts and u will get a 5

[coral crane]

They wont

[south cape]

You should take at least 9th grade bio and optionally 10th grade chem before AP Bio.

If you don’t have this knowledge, AP bio is going to be kind of tough, but you possibly could manage it with a lot of studying.

I wouldn’t recommend taking it unless you have the 2 classes above completed.

[unreal sphinx]

Oh yeah for sure

Never take AP Bio or AP Chem without taking reg/honors bio and chem first

Biology and Chemistry at the non-AP level give you the foundation you need for AP Bio and/or AP Chem.

If you go into the AP level blindly for like those kind of sciences then you will be fucked.

Physics you can do if you know calc, but like bio and chem don’t go straight into AP level for the sake of your soul.

Thank you that’s all I have to say.

[solar kettle]

Can anybody explain the differences between Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering? Can a CSE degree help secure a job in the aerospace or automotive industry, and does a CS major offer similar opportunities?

[fallen forge]

hi

[cinder gorge]

hello, is there a big difference between the 2024 version of aps books and the 2025 version?

or is it fine if i just buy the 2024 version

[lone lion]

Not really a difference

[full tinsel]

U might want to take this image down cuz u might get urself doxxed

But it doesn't rlly matter 2024 or 2025 the APUSH curriculum is unchanged

I will say though that prepping now is a bit overkill

[lone lion]

Let him cook

[full tinsel]

Thank u Cat man

[slate garden]

that big of a price differential is interesting

but yeah the 2024 one is fine

[lone lion]

marketing

at its finest

im cooked

[rotund gazelle]

What should I take after alg 2

[forest crystal]

precalculus

[shadow scroll]

I did AP Chem with no regular level bio
It was fun and I got a 5
But I’m crazy for chemistry
If you don’t love chemistry you definitely shouldn’t

[thorn void]

Hello. I'm kinda in a pickle here. My parents really, really want me to take French Immersion for High School, but I think that the IB courses would be more beneficial. Any advice? The French Immersion course would get me regular admission rates for high school and it's only the French course and one course in French, while IB has a 18% better admission rate ||from what I'm aware of|| and another language is mandatory. I am also aware that I can skip Grade 9 French in IB.

[sullen hearth]

Bruh bio doesn’t help with chem

[nova kindle]

idk what hsc subjects to choose for yrs 11-12. advice pls. i want to get into university to become either a dermatologist or a psychiatrist so i will need i high atar.

(yes i am from australia so its a little different)

[shadow scroll]

yeah it doesnt lmao
bio is so lame
introductory level chem helps with bio tho

[shadow scroll]

i dont know anythign australia but
anything medical you should put a lot of focus into bio, chem, and related sciences (psychology, anatomy & physiology)
these tend to be weed out classes in university (especially chem)

[deft maple]

What is French immersion?

[kindred viper]

Should I drop out ?

Plan :

1. See law school requirements in Australia, melbourne or Sydney
2. Go to Tafe and pick those courses for the certificates I need
3. Will take Approx 1 and a half years if not less after I'm eligable for law school

Side note:

• I'm 15 and go to a highly academic Private school ranked top 20 in NSW

[deft maple]

What are you dropping?

[kindred viper]

School, currently in year 10

So I could be in law school by the time people are in year 11

[deft maple]

Don’t you need a high school diploma to enter university?

Also how would you already have a bachelor’s by year 11?

[kindred viper]

You can get specific law related certificates from Tafe and enter Law that way

[deft maple]

You don’t have any dual enrollment classes?

Down in Australia?

[kindred viper]

Most uni's in Sydney accept specific certificates from tafe, not sure abt melbourne

[kindred viper]

Yeah

[kindred viper]

No, I just go High School

[deft maple]

Idk but in the US dropping out of high school looks really bad

[kindred viper]

Well in AUS you can go Tafe, do Law Certificates and enter through that way

I'll also save a bunch of money

[deft maple]

Do you have connections to any lawyer, paralegals, or judges?

[thorn void]

So basically in my region, I took French immersion throughout my whole school life, so I qualify to go to a French Immersion high school. This is the definition I got from google: French Immersion is a program designed to offer students opportunities to acquire a high level of proficiency in French while maintaining and developing English language skills.

[kindred viper]

It'll cost me 4k for that year and a half timeline in tafe approximately, my tuition is 13k per year so after year 12 it'll be 26k compared to 4k spent in tafe

[kindred viper]

My dad's lawyer that went through Law from America and came to Australia, and a friend that is in Law uni currently

That went to Law Uni through Tafe Certificates

[deft maple]

Wait so your deciding from IB French or French immersion?

[thorn void]

Just the IB courses (math, english, etc.) or French Immersion

But IB does offer French, but not as profound as French Immersion

[deft maple]

Yeah maybe you should drop out but I would get guidance from other people too. I don’t have much knowledge how Australia works especially law

[sullen hearth]

yes chemistry helps with bio

[deft maple]

Wait so how many high school credits of French do you have?

[kindred viper]

The system to get into Law Uni is through an Atar which is kinda like your GPU, but we don't have that, if you score a 96 Atar your on the top 4 percent of people in Australia that did the test for the whole year, thats what you need for Law Uni in sydney which I find really crazy

[thorn void]

I haven't entered high school at the moment, making my decisions.

[deft maple]

I would ask professionals

[deft maple]

So many colleges have foreign language courses as an admission requirement

[kindred viper]

Always wanted to do law but know getting that high of an Atar is almost impossible, so if I don't get in through my atar I'd have to do Tafe anyway and basically waste 2 years from year 11 and year 12

Because I'm eligible to do tafe now, gotta be 15

[kindred viper]

👍

[deft maple]

@thorn void Do you know which colleges you want to go to?

[thorn void]

I'm thinking Waterloo or U of T, and probably teachers college. It isn't set in stone, but it's a plan

[deft maple]

Have you looked at admission requirements?

[thorn void]

I am pretty sure in IB, a foreign language is required, so that would be checked off

[deft maple]

Yeah but many colleges require 2 high school credits in a foreign language

The top ones require 4

Some require 3

But check the admission requirements for your desired colleges

[thorn void]

Yes, but I'm looking for Universities. I will go in Canada. As far as I am aware, Waterloo doesn't require a foreign language. I would have to research into it more

[deft maple]

Oh your Canada?

[thorn void]

Yep

[deft maple]

Yeah idk about Canada

[thorn void]

😭

[deft maple]

I’m more knowledgeable in US colleges

[thorn void]

I'm just thinking, just based on admission rates. French Immersion has the regular rate while IB has 18% more... which one would be better to go for? I am researching, and so far IB offers more opportunites

[thorn void]

Makes sense, thats alright. Thanks for trying I guess

[deft maple]

IB offers colleges credit so I would assume it is better but make sure too look at admission requirements just in case

Can’t get college credit if you ain’t get accepted

Also why can’t you take both?

[thorn void]

I'll look into requirements more in-depth.

[deft maple]

Ok, send me a DM if you have any more questions

[thorn void]

So basically, in my region, there are 3 high schools, Fully English that offers AP courses, Another English but with French courses that offers IB, and a French Immersion. The French Immersion school doesn't offer the IB courses and the IB school doesn't offer the French Immersion. It's strange

[thorn void]

Thank you

[deft maple]

Canada has AP?

[thorn void]

Yep

[deft maple]

Does Canada have CLEP?

Or DANTES/DSST?

[thorn void]

Not in the high schools available to me, and DSST, I'm not too sure, I don't think so

[deft maple]

Oh so y’all don’t got at home proctoring up there or sumn?

[thorn void]

May I ask what that is? Home schooling?

[deft maple]

Like you take the test at home online instead of going to a testing center

Wait you know what CLEP and DSST is right?

[thorn void]

I am aware of CLEP

[deft maple]

I lowkey thought Canada was behind in education 💀

[thorn void]

It is availavble remotely

[thorn void]

Compared to US, very much so

[deft maple]

I ain’t know they have AP and allat 💀

[thorn void]

It's limited. Its so complicated 😭 But hey, atleast it's available

So, I'm gonna research all these exams, can I DM you later on if I have any questions?

[deft maple]

Yeah

[thorn void]

Thank you :D

[deft maple]

Wait do y’all got APUSH up there?

Like y’all learn US history?

[thorn void]

Not US specifically, world history and Canadian

[deft maple]

Canada having APs is bewildering me rn

[thorn void]

Really? I thought it was normal

[deft maple]

I thought AP was only a US thing 😭

[full tinsel]

Omg

Dang Canadians

[thorn void]

I know its not popular in Canada

[full tinsel]

As a marylander I'mma stranggle these Canadians

[thorn void]

Oh dang 😨

[deft maple]

So like what’s y’all opinion on the war of 1812💀

[thorn void]

Guys Idk.

[deft maple]

Yo is it true y’all celebrate thanksgiving early?

[thorn void]

I'm not cultured enough in Canadian heritage to know this kinda stuff

Gotta ask the Newfoundlanders about that

[deft maple]

Interacting with a Canadian is like interacting with an alien species fr 💀😭

[thorn void]

I didn't know we were that bad, I thought we were just bootleg Americans

[deft maple]

Is there a rivalry or sumn?

[median sail]

Hey, I here a lot of talking about dual-credit courses, but what about taking community college courses that just appeal to me, which don't necessarily need to count for credit? Would those look nice?

[dim gorge]

I’m a Canadian- boo?

[solemn hamlet]

Half the world has AP exams 😭

[solemn hamlet]

Most top unis aren't gonna even care about your cc credits. If it's a DE course, it'll help your WGPA and improve the rigor of your academics, so yeah, it's worth it, and colleges don't care what courses you take if you have the main balanced framework of classes they recommend

[full tinsel]

AP

The A stands for American

[lone lion]

🤓

[solemn hamlet]

😭

[deft maple]

Are you aiming for top universities?

[compact dagger]

@deft maple Your message(s) have been flagged as spam and have been removed.

[viral wind]

Hi guys! A very general question- what are a few top unis in the US to pursue journalism courses at?

[median sail]

yes

[modest wing]

If anyone could help I am interested in doing software engineering in uni and currently in grade 9
I am just trying to think ahead
Would Physics ATAR (in Australia (WA)) be useful or does it not matter for software engineering and in general computer science
For all the Americans ATAR is basically the same thing as AP in Western Australia

Oh yeah also middle school doesn’t exist and it is just Primary school (Kindy to Year 6) and High School (Year 7 to Year 12) so I already know what my school offers

[deft maple]

Assuming ATAR is like AP you would have to check if your desired university will accept physics for your major. Physics could be a gen ed though if Australia has those.

[half harbor]

hello! Im going into 9th in september but in uni i would like to study law, what aps, should i take to help me for that (im aiming for top univerisities)

[vernal coral]

ATAR is not the same thing as AP. Your ATAR is a rank from 0.00 to 99.95 in relation to the other year 12s graduating across Australia (based on your performance on your year 12 subjects)
So a 80.00 means you are in the 80th percentile of the graduating cohort

On the other hand, AP stands for Advanced Placement, and provides undergraduate University level courses and exams to high school students

[vernal coral]

But to answer your question, you will have to check the university's prerequisites to be certain

[full tinsel]

Is ATAR Australian AP?

[vernal coral]

No

ATAR and AP are different

[novel fjord]

I am currently in the IB curriculum; which math in IB is better for me to choose if I am planning to take machine learning as my profession in the future? Is math analysis better or math applications?

[full tinsel]

I mean is ATAR like AP just Australian?

Of course they're different

[modest wing]

Physics isn’t a prerequisite for the course I’m interested in I’m just wondering if it would be useful
Also I know ATAR and AP aren’t the same I was just trying to make it easier to understand for non Australians as it is kind of similar

[full tinsel]

How many dollary doos does the ATAR test cost for aussies?

[vernal coral]

No, it isn't

[vernal coral]

???

The ATAR is not a test

[full tinsel]

Nvm

This ATAR stuff is hurting my american brain

In the meantime, Imma eat some burger king

[cinder gorge]

Is it better to opt for Bsc Physics (Honours) 3 years or Bsc Physics (Research) 4years
im interested in research but taking the research course will make my journey a year longer . Is the priority for PG after UG is same for with and without research course

[modest wing]

$0

[modest wing]

It is various courses and a external exam for all the courses you take that make up your ranking

Also how did me asking if physics was useful for computer science turn into this

[fallen forge]

hi

[violet dagger]

you are

the US state i live in borders canada

y'all are literally bootleg americans

i love visiting vancouver bc btw

[fringe barn]

Best study resources for chemistry, I have to self study the first few units of AP chem this summer and I don't know where to start

[cinder gorge]

This year i wanted to take AP human geography what should i do? Another one i wanted to take comp sci prin but i needed to finish algebra I so what should i do skip a math year to maybe be able to take that class and go to calc ab? What should i do?

[cursive panther]

why couldn’t you take ap hug

[coarse sigil]

You’re cooked

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/994694532681715792/1017856313121853480/irony_comp.gif

[cursive panther]

for ap csp, you can take algebra I over summer or skip it but if you wanna skip it, make sure to self study algebra I cuz it’s really important for geometry and algebra II

[cinder gorge]

Im taking it

[vernal coral]

Yeah. The reason I said it wasn't a test is because your internal assessments count towards your ATAR too

It's a bit different from each state though

NSW has HSC

NT + SA has SACE

etc

[cinder gorge]

They said i can take it over the semester

Should i do it for 2 times so i can go to calc BC?

[forest crystal]

algebra 1 twice?

[steep bramble]

My friend said that college board is adding ap algebra 2

Was he fibbing

[forest crystal]

algebra 2 isnt a college course so i think so

unless im wrong

theres a pre-ap algebra 2 tho

[lilac cave]

Anyone doing IGCSE? i need help with subjecv=t selection

[cinder gorge]

what are some good aps to self study?

[forest crystal]

ap psychology ap human geography

[cinder gorge]

thank you

i was thinking psych

[forest crystal]

whats your favorite subject?

[cinder gorge]

hug would also be reasonable bc i just self studied apes

[cinder gorge]

science

[forest crystal]

i was gonna say that one next since its pretty easy

[cinder gorge]

it was really good

i'm excited for scores to come out though bro i've been nervous

[forest crystal]

they come out july 1st right?

[cinder gorge]

i think the 9th

i could be wrong though

[forest crystal]

ooh okay

i havent taken any aps yet so your probably right lol

[cinder gorge]

oh okay lol

funnily enough i haven't fr taken an ap yet

i've just self studied apes

[forest crystal]

you taking any next year?

[cinder gorge]

not as of now

i will self study at least one

how about you?

[forest crystal]

ima take ap precalc and maybe apush but if i dont do apush then im gonna self study ap pysch

[cinder gorge]

oh cool

i have some friends taking apush next year

and i'm taking precalc too but it's dual credit my school doesn't have ap yet

ap precalc at least

[forest crystal]

ayy we in the same boat then

[forest crystal]

good luck to them

[cinder gorge]

right that's what i'm saying

i'm not as oriented toward that and plus it's yearlong at my school which is not my thing

i could take two science classes instead of that

[cinder gorge]

fr that's fun

[forest crystal]

i couldnt do that😭

[forest crystal]

i wish i could take two science classes i love science but my school is strict on schedules, i'll try to ask my counselor can i take biology online tho

[cinder gorge]

that's so ridiculous i hate that for you

i'm taking the rest of my required sciences next year so i can take ap bio or chem junior year

i'm going into 10th

those are also yearlong

which is so dumb bro

[forest crystal]

im making a powerpoint rn for my mom on why i should switch schools but she really doesnt want me to

[forest crystal]

samee

[cinder gorge]

that's real

[forest crystal]

yeah it is

[cinder gorge]

the only yearlong classes at my school are apush and ap bio and chem

everything else is a sem

[forest crystal]

all my classes are yearlong but i feel like they shouldnt be

i had to take a yearlong of government but its only half a credit

[cinder gorge]

oh...

that's wild

i would hate that dude

the way our schedule works though i only have 4 classes a semester

and it EATS

[forest crystal]

it wasnt that bad but all we did was projects and debates

[forest crystal]

THIS

is how it should be

[cinder gorge]

dude it's so wonderful

it makes everything so easy

or easIER

and course progression is easier too

like i took french one and two this year

[forest crystal]

its like this for me too and i hate it

it was cool for a month but then for the rest of the year it was childs play

[forest crystal]

ayy thats whats up

do you wanna graduate early or are you just getting credits when you can

[cinder gorge]

i'm just getting credits where i can

though graduating early is super cute too

[forest crystal]

im trying to get like you😔

[cinder gorge]

oh trust me it's not all sunshine and roses

[kindred shuttle]

what college are you guys trying to get into

[cinder gorge]

if it makes you feel better i don't have three required credits rn i should have gotten 💀

[cinder gorge]

lowkey anywhere i'm not picky

in a perfect world maybe johns hopkins or duke

[cinder gorge]

now i'm taking gym and health next year with freshmen 😍

[kindred shuttle]

im tryna get into oxford

[cinder gorge]

oh cool

[forest crystal]

uhh idk yet

[forest crystal]

praying for you

[forest crystal]

i feel like you could do it

[forest crystal]

you too

[cinder gorge]

thanks i'm gonna need it

[cinder gorge]

lowkey i hope

i need more activities

i only do student gov

[forest crystal]

i actually was thinking of applying there

[forest crystal]

me too ima lock in rising junior year

yearbook club isnt gonna cut it

[cinder gorge]

real

i'm gonna try to get more involved next year

the beginning of next school year will be so busy though

cuz hoco

class president is not for the weak

[robust carbon]

What?

If something is wrong you can say it bruh.

[full tinsel]

Feels great 3rd Term Class Pres.

[robust carbon]

Bro has W charisma.

[full tinsel]

Suprising considering my troubles pulling

[forest crystal]

real (im not class president)

?

[forest crystal]

niceee

[cinder gorge]

Saying if i should do alegbra I and geometry on my freshman year and then sophmore Algebra II and pre calc

Help- I picked vocal chior and realized I can’t sing-

[wraith scarab]

3rd term class vice president for me

[forest crystal]

ohh yeah you should do algebra 1 and geometry together but idk if you can do algebra 2 and precalc together

its not impossible but its gonna be hard bc precalculus builds off of algebra 2

[cinder gorge]

I wanna do that im def doing it ima change my layout of my classes and talk to the counselors

[cinder gorge]

Dang

[forest crystal]

yeah definitely go for it

[forest crystal]

what if you do algebra 2 in the summer after alg 1/geometry then precalculus sophmore calc bc junior

[cinder gorge]

Calc AB would be my junior but that class is super important because it makes calc BC easier

[forest crystal]

ab junior bc senior?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

[forest crystal]

im gonna take calc ab junior year but idk if ima do bc

i probably should

[cinder gorge]

Its easy because calc AB helps out with calc bc since it stacks together, calc BC will be easy because you will know everything that you did in calc ab and it will be some extra stuff to learn so you won’t have to worry

[full tinsel]

I feel like the only way to make a class officer/student council position on your college app actually valuable is if u are able to keep getting reelected

[sour tartan]

People doing A-levels, how did you pick your subjects?

[main storm]

you have a 9th grade class president in your school? For us its just 9 people who are represenatives for our entire grade (we have 900 ppl)

Im one of them but we don't do much considering its a lot of people for 1 grade

[cinder gorge]

my school has student councils for each grade and then a student body student council

so we've got 5 of each position there's probably 40 people involved total

[main storm]

40 ppl per grade?

for us its 1 rep. per 100 ppl per grade, then a student body of 5 people for the entire student council

[cinder gorge]

40 people for our whole school

our school is smaller we only have like 1400 kids

each grade has probably 7 or 8 people representing

and then we have a student body group

[merry thicket]

I want to be a pilot here are my grade 11 courses I want to switch geo to earth science and physics for something else because for the waterloo requirements you can choose other easier courses like data management so what should I do

[plain hemlock]

should I do ap world history or just do regular world history over the summer

cause i enrolled in a summer course but I can still opt out

[daring jewel]

ap 💪

guys is IB hard?

[full tinsel]

Yes

[lone lion]

Yes

[safe granite]

im currently doing a test to skip algebra 2 rn so is it easier to do that?

[ornate shuttle]

What do you do in ap seminar, and would you suggest the class or not?

[inland flare]

Hi I want to go into orthopedics so medical and I’m trying to choose my APs for junior year, so far I have taken aphug, calc AB, and apush.

I’m thinking of taking ap calc bc, ap bio, ap lang, ap psych, and maybe ap environmental?? I don’t know what to do and I would appreciate any advice on what to keep or switch out :)

[full tinsel]

Definitely take AP Bio, I would try and take AP Chem as well if possible

And take Calc BC

[worldly flume]

ap calc, bio, and lang is what i would recommend 😭

[lapis spade]

depends on your definition of hard but math and lit were the only ib classes that i felt that i had to work very hard at

then again i didn't take physics which i'v heard is one of the more challenging ones

[lone lion]

take all 30+ aps @inland flare

Its very easy no study!

[coral crane]

Calc ab, bc is not needed 😶‍🌫️

[coral crane]

Take ab u really dont need to take calc bc

[inland flare]

I don’t think I can balance AP Chem with bio, since they are both double class periods, but what about ap environmental? Should I take physics instead?

[inland flare]

I already took calc ab though

[inland flare]

😭😭

[opaque shell]

Yo guys I want to study Mechanical Engineering. Are these good subjects to chose?
Math (compulsory)
English (compulsory)
Literature (compulsory)
Physics
Chemistry
Further Math
Economics
French
BTEC Enterprise

[lilac cave]

ANYONE HAS AN IDEA ABOUT IGCSE?

[white flicker]

Ok do someone understand abt French method of course selection

[solemn hamlet]

No

[solemn hamlet]

Yes

[daring jewel]

ohh planning on taking all ib my junior and senior years taking 2 years of the hl math y1 and y2 + 2 years of biology and 1 year of physics, for english just taking the reg hl english gt course offered plus the toks courses

[tight kindle]

Has anyone taken AICE marine? How was it?

Also I’m planning on taking the SAT and I need help so do you guys know and good tutors or books I can use to study

@ me

[thin badger]

Quick question. I'm going into 9th as a freshman. I will be taking geometry. My school offers an AP stat course. should I take it?

[main storm]

No, since you haven't even taken algebra 2 or calc yet.

AP Stat is usually for seniors on a advanced math track

[novel barn]

seems good to me

[wintry sleet]

its usually a course u take in your junior or senior year'

[sullen hearth]

uhh prob not, i’d recommend taking it with alg 2 or after alg 2

[deft maple]

Do you need AP stat for your major?

[deft maple]

If they’re high school level courses colleges don’t really care. Select the courses that will help you graduate. For example do French if you need a foreign language credit

[thin badger]

I already took algebra 2

My school does it different. First we take algebra 1, then algebra 2, then geometry

so as an elective with geometry in 9th I can take AP stat

[deft maple]

But do you need AP stat for your major?

[thin badger]

I took pre algebra in 6th, then algebra 1 in 7th, Algebra 2 in 8th, so its geometry in 9th (possibly with AP stat)

yeah

I can take it either in 9th or wait till I'm a senior and take it then when I take Calc BC

[deft maple]

I made a typo

Can you answer my question again

[thin badger]

ohh well yeah

I can either take it now or wait

[deft maple]

Do you also need that for your major?

[thin badger]

yes

[deft maple]

Wait what is your major?

[thin badger]

im taking calc BC either way

Mathematics or Comp Sci

not sure yet

[deft maple]

What APs are you taking this year?

[thin badger]

history and possibly ap stat

[deft maple]

Which history?

[thin badger]

world

[deft maple]

So is the history credit a gen ed?

[thin badger]

i believe so yes

[forest crystal]

i'd take it

no point in waiting imo if you already took algebra 2 unless you want too

[elfin hill]

@worldly flume I’m doing English 3 honors next year instead of ap lang

[worldly flume]

oh okok so ap lang ur senior yr? fair enough 😭

[elfin hill]

Yes

Senior yr

100%

I could do ap lit senior year if I want to but I will do lang senior

B- or higher in English 3 honors in order to take ap lang senior year but I’m confident I can get an A- or higher

I got an A+ in English 2 accelerated this year it was too ez

[deft maple]

Agreed

[worldly flume]

u will fs

[cinder gorge]

does anyone have like a template i could use to record shadowing and research hours. My school has one for volunteer hours but not for anything else?

[elfin hill]

I like your background of the trees

[worldly flume]

TYYY

[main storm]

What the hell

No way they are letting 9th graders take ap stat 😭😭

[cinder gorge]

my school let me take 5

[main storm]

Bro for us we could only take ap csp freshman yr

I’m taking 5 sophmore yr

[coral crane]

We can take aps at any grade 😶‍🌫️

well middle school and above

[cinder gorge]

yeah i took AP human in 8th

can someon ehelp me

[deft maple]

What do you need?

I was taking math 55 when I was in the womb

[brisk ivy]

well fist , i cant find a college i want to focus on

[deft maple]

Have you tried college board college search?

[brisk ivy]

and i plan on going to a cs uni in the future , for this and to beef up my application , i have done software engineering and data intro internships (virtual) of ford , EA and JPMorgan , is this good or meh

[deft maple]

Also are you aiming for top schools Ike the Ivies?

[deft maple]

Yeah it’s good

[brisk ivy]

hell naw , my ECs are too bad for this and i dont think my SATs would be over 1500

and i cant affoard more than a 60k tuition

[deft maple]

So what state do you live in?

[brisk ivy]

i only have a few requirements

im in india ,delhi but my dream is to go to NYC

only a few requirements - tuition under 60k , acceptence rate 20-25 and should be achievable

[deft maple]

Isn’t going international super competitive?

But idk how international admissions work

[brisk ivy]

less competitive then here , my brother gave the JEE , he got 98.9% and couldnt find a collage

NO college wanted him

[deft maple]

Damn

[brisk ivy]

yea

any college recommendations?

[deft maple]

Wait so like since your not a US citizen do you qualify for fasfa?

[deft maple]

Go on college board’s website and go to their college search

[brisk ivy]

whats that supposed to mean? srry

i dont know what that is

[brisk ivy]

alright

[deft maple]

Financial aid but I think it’s only for US citizens

NYC is expensive so

Your gonna need hella scholarships

[brisk ivy]

well , its been my dream to study in nyc

[deft maple]

So what colleges have you came up with so far on college board college search?

[brisk ivy]

gimme one se

was talking to someone

[brisk ivy]

Ccouldnt find a single one

[deft maple]

Bruh

Like not a single one that’s sounds good?

[brisk ivy]

nope

but later i got with a guy and made a list

Target Colleges
1 Cornell University - 17%
2 Princeton University - 2.4%
Colleges that you think you have a pretty good chance at
1 University of Rochester - 20%
2 Fordham University - 52%
Colleges that you are basically 100% sure you will get in (Safety Colleges)
1 Stony Brook University - 48.1%
2 Syracuse University - 57.2%
3 Binghamton State University - 42%

[brisk ivy]

idk that website aint get me a good one

btw these rates are for international students like me

[lone lion]

These are not safety colleges

😭

Mid 40 50s is not a safety fyi

[brisk ivy]

i didnt make this list

th is safety other then that

[lone lion]

Oh whoever made this list is def not right

[brisk ivy]

um

[lone lion]

For safety

everything else is good

[brisk ivy]

he was the only person who helped me in this entire server

i litteraly got no other person helping me

[lone lion]

Not everyone is equipped to help, wants to help, or checks

The amt of ppl in this server isnt a true est

[brisk ivy]

ik , i found 1 and i gotta make do with what i got

[lone lion]

Ya

What do u need help with anyway

[brisk ivy]

just trying to find collages and ask if my ECs are good

[brisk ivy]

my ECs i think are doubtful

[next cairn]

My courses for junior

Ap calc bc

Ap physics C mechanics

APUSH

English 11

Ap cs a

Ap seminar

CEO David Coleman made 1.67 million dollars in 2019. That same year, 9 other members of the College Board made $500,000+ dollars in executive compensation. The College Board is registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which means it is legally considered a public serving company.
