i self taught algebra 2 this year to get ahead after tryign for 2 years and covid stopping it, i would just brush up on ur algebra 2 stuff cause precalc will build off that especially at the beginning

Is the entirety of AP Physics C a two year course? Or could it be two semesters?

[cinder gorge]

It can be two semesters. My school teaches it as mechanics first semester and e&m second semester.

[ashen thorn]

I'm planning on taking it as a fall extracurricular program my senior year

[cinder gorge]

So you're gonna take the whole class in fall?

What’s the best honors class to take as a freshman

[finite lance]

what choices do you have

[cinder gorge]

probably a honors math or science course like h algebra 2 or h biology but it really depends on what your school offers

[cinder gorge]

honors English or a honors stem class

[wind anchor]

what are some good textbooks to self study honors biology?

[finite lance]

why not go on edx

[finite lance]

edx have great courses

[wind anchor]

id prefer a book

ill check it out though, tyanks

[finite lance]

then campbells is pretty good

i prefer videos tho

it just sinks in better with visuals

[wind anchor]

yeah normally id go to khan acadmey but it seems like it's a work in progress

[wide merlin]

If you know someone who took the class before try to use the slides the teacher generally probides

I have no idea what textbook they use for honors bio cause my school doesn’t offer it.

[wind anchor]

good idea

[wide merlin]

my ap bio teacher had like 100’s of slides for every unit

it’s a common thing among bio teachers

whatever is on the slide topic look it up and you’ll very likely find a youtube video that is more in depth then the slides

[wind anchor]

ok ty

I'm taking AP Physics 1 next year

There are extracurricular programs approved by colleges that are essentially AP classes, and count as such

[cinder gorge]

My school doest offer many ap classes, what should I do?

[quiet arrow]

sqrt(30) + 2(sqrt(10)) + 2(sqrt(5))

i believe that’s all that can be done, correct me if i’m wrong

[fading topaz]

sqrt(30) + sqrt(2)

[coarse valley]

Can I take AP computer science as a freshman?

[finite lance]

depends on the school you go to

if your school doesnt offer it

you can always self study

[coarse valley]

Thank you!

[finite lance]

np

[cinder gorge]

what is self study?

[finite lance]

you learn it yourself

[cinder gorge]

how would i take the ap tests

@finite lance

[finite lance]

ask a nearby school that does offer the course

[cinder gorge]

alright

[rotund cove]

is AP lang really that horrible?

[finite lance]

yes.

[rotund cove]

lovely

i have instant regrets

[finite lance]

youre welcome

[quiet arrow]

don’t worry, i’ve heard lit is much worse

[finite lance]

lel

[cinder gorge]

it really isn’t too bad, i managed to take ap lang freshman year and it was mostly just essays. if you’re good at reading or writing you should be fine

[rotund cove]

thanks!

[rotund cove]

i’ve heard just the opposite 😭 but i guess it depends on the school

[frozen fossil]

Can anyone give me advice on this, so I was looking into a levels (idk if that exists in America) and my schools law curriculum looks really trashy but my parents want me to stay in that school for the mandarin a levels(ngl there also kinda overrated and easy looking) so should I stay in my school to do law and mandarin or look average but get better law grades?

Sorry that was so long

[cinder gorge]

Hello

[frozen fossil]

I would want to be a lawyer in media or criminal law and on the school website there's more on the exam than content

[cinder gorge]

That sounds nice are u practicing

[frozen fossil]

No I'm in secondary school (middle school)

[cinder gorge]

Oh same I wanna be a k-pop idol maybe try practiencing for like an 1hour everday

[visual patio]

hello

[finite lance]

hi

[half thicket]

Label them to groups

See the prequisite

Group them by math,sci,english n social studies

As theyre the more important one

Depending of major you want ofc

So ap classes can strengthen you

[tulip hare]

Hey, does anyone know where I could take an online precalc class before school starts, and transferable to high school transcript

Transferablility is obviously subject to the school but one that at least says it could

[half thicket]

Cc

My district partner up with a cc

So that could be good

Check your local ones

[fierce kernel]

箄腡腡我骽烤肉視黁㶭我

[cinder gorge]

?

they only offer two ap classes in grade 12

[half thicket]

WOW

Which are

[cinder gorge]

I think calc and physics

i have to check

YES!

I just found a thing for my school district for the AP exams for self study

only 11 of them but not too bad

[half thicket]

Mhh

Which ap are self study

If is ap physic 1 i would go for it

Since isnt very calc related

Ap calc is a must to do

Ap you could self sudy ap comp sci principle or even comp sci A if you keep learning it

Ap bio

[cinder gorge]

ap calc and physics are not self study

[half thicket]

Oh ik

You should take those

Both of those actually if u can

[cinder gorge]

yes i will in gr12

[half thicket]

Well idk which ap u could self study

So im just guessing

But for sure bio has to be there

Self studying ap bio is very straight foward if u like sci

[half thicket]

250

!?!??!

[cinder gorge]

yeah i know

a lot of money 😦

[half thicket]

Hell naww better ask your school for a ap waive

[visual patio]

oh my

thats a lot xD

[half thicket]

Well you could self study comp sci principle,bio and macro

If you want

But you gotta ask other campus ap teach for test review for test structure

If you wanna self study

[cinder gorge]

yep

[visual patio]

i hate self study no offense

[cinder gorge]

only option 😦

[visual patio]

thats not good

[cinder gorge]

yep

[half thicket]

Ask for a ap exam waive@cinder gorge

For lower cost

[visual patio]

never knew those existed

[half thicket]

Wow yall counselor are shit

Students should do their own research

And btw if youre qualified for a ap waive you also are for college admission waive

So if you apply for a college the apply cost is free

But you gotta send them email so talk to counselor ofc

[cinder gorge]

?

[half thicket]

Mh

?

[cinder gorge]

Why do you say that?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah I'll look into that

[half thicket]

Bc counselor should alert students abt those stuff

Especially lower income people

[cinder gorge]

Haven't talked to my counselor about this yet

[cinder gorge]

I'm sure my dad will be happy to pay the fee

Not really lower income

[half thicket]

💀

[visual patio]

But not everyone is rich

🤣

[half thicket]

Thats why is a wall for lower income wanting to take ap

[cinder gorge]

Yes

[half thicket]

Or any college credit class

[cinder gorge]

That was why I said it was alot

[visual patio]

lol

[reef flower]

What are the most useful ap classes

Hi

[languid ruin]

ap stats or ap gov

[hearty sand]

Im going to be a freshman this year but I have no ap classes. My brother had around 4 ap classes somehow and I'm kind of frustrated

I'm stuck with this bum honors classes and I need ap so I can get good things (I don't know how ap works)

what do I do help

[fading topaz]

Trust me dude, AP classes as a Freshman would ruin your entire High school experience

That combined with coming into a different schooling environment would be extremely mentally taxing

Take the honors this year, then hit those APs next

most importantly do not feel pressured to live up to your brother

[hearty sand]

will harvard care if i dont take them freshman 🥺

actually do they even care about ap at all?

[fading topaz]

AP is still good, but colleges shouldn't care how many AP courses you took your freshman year

what would matter is your diverse portfolio and performance in those classes

and trust me, you will do better in them if you take a year

[visual patio]

hi

[hearty sand]

thanks man that really helped

[fading topaz]

np

[hot storm]

R u in advanced math?

Cuz over here ppl don’t usually take algebra 2 in 9th grade

[hearty sand]

Wait I actually do need to post my schedule I need someone to look at it and tell me if I'll be fine 👍

I'm serious about harvard and I think I'm stressed about it 😭

I got rid of honors geography since I don't really need it freshman

[carmine lily]

wait how do you take ap's as a freshman

[daring jay]

Some schools offer freshman APs

However you could also self study AP courses

At any grade

[carmine lily]

you wouldn't get an high school credit from self studying tho

also what material should i study to self study biology

[daring jay]

Incorrect

You don’t get AP Credit from taking the course

You get AP Credit from taking and passing the AP Exam

@carmine lily Also I could link you to some resources for AP Bio

[carmine lily]

ohhh wait that makes so much sense

[carmine lily]

i'd really appreciate that

[daring jay]

I’ve done my fair share of research since I’m self studying AP CSP and AP CS:A rn

[half thicket]

You just gotta ask and do your research

I did ap human geo in freshman

[half thicket]

Thought everybody knew this

But do ask some ap teach for tutoring

Like the ap exam structure or old test

[daring jay]

^^^

[half thicket]

Im prob gonna self study ap com sci principe im alr in a comp sci class

So wouldnt be that hard considering is a principal and i could ask my comp sci teacher for help

[cinder gorge]

If you ever wanted help with AP Bio i did really well when i took it so lmk if you would need anything

[carmine lily]

i'd really appreciate that

[dusty ivy]

this year im self studying 3 ap courses but its a complete self study so no outside class or anything; however i heard that when you self study it only gives you credit but doesnt have any effect on ur weighted gpa. is weighted gpa really that important compared to unweighted gpa?

[cinder gorge]

Yeah of course feel free to ask any questions or if you needed resources i could help

[hearty sand]

Ok question

So taking social studies freshmen isn't considered a social studies credit, so is ap geo considered a social studies credit?

Also what's the benefits of self studying ap classes

wouldn't that be a lot of work I'm actually losing my mind

and what credit does ap count towards

[dusty ivy]

idk about other ppl but i self study classes that my school doesnt offer but im interested in those courses

[hearty sand]

ok

[dusty ivy]

i THINK (correct me if im wrong) that ap classes count for college credit

like if u pass you dont need to take that course in college

[hearty sand]

OH FR?

[dusty ivy]

yeah man

thats why so many ppl take dual enrollment and all those so they can get ahead

[hearty sand]

wait but how will the school know you self study is there like a test or something to let them know?

[dusty ivy]

i self studied a course this year and my school just offered that test at school (like not the course but the ap test)

but idrk how colleges see it sry D:

[carmine lily]

what is dual enrollment

[quiet arrow]

i don’t believe you get high school from self studying something

[daring jay]

You get college credit from self studying

As long as you meet the colleges AP Exam score requirements

[quiet arrow]

yeah ik that

the other person said that you wouldn’t get high school credit from doing that though

[daring jay]

Ohhhh high school credit

[high geode]

Yeah

[hot storm]

K

Or is it normal math 4 ur district?

[little pagoda]

do you guys have any feedback for my 4 year plan?

already finished freshman year so can't adjust that one

heres updated version

[reef flower]

I am taking 5 ap my freshmen year should I drop some ?

Idk what to expect

[little pagoda]

its a prereq for me

ok

thanks for advice

[daring jay]

@little pagoda

Any chance you can swap

AP CSP

For AP CS:A

[little pagoda]

My school doesn’t offer that

Wait csp is computer science principles right?

[daring jay]

Yeah

And then AP CS:A is AP Computer Science A

More widely recognised and accepted for credit

[little pagoda]

It’s not ap for me

I don’t think I can take ap test there either

For csp

[daring jay]

Well you can take the AP Test for any subject regardless if you took the actual class

@little pagoda

[little pagoda]

Oh you can?

[daring jay]

Like I’m taking AP CS:As exam next year despite the fact I’m not actually going to take the course

Because I’ve already self studied it

Yeah

[little pagoda]

Oh

I only have Intro to computer science and computer science principles

[daring jay]

Alr

Fair

Overall you’ve got a good plan

[little pagoda]

alr

[half thicket]

Im so scared of physic c e&m

[narrow quiver]

Is phys c super hard

[half thicket]

1.it should bee counted as a social studie credit no matter what grade

2.Ap geo is in the social studie group

3.idk abt benefits like doing it your own speed of studying

4.ap classes are hard ofc but ap human geo will be semi hard

For me ofc

[cinder gorge]

Physics C is still a pretty hard class and they can't just let anyone take it

his school has it better

[half thicket]

Lastly ap credit will count as a high school n college credit

If you take ap human geo but youre self studying

[cinder gorge]

yea

[hearty sand]

shoot i got rid of it

[cinder gorge]

for us we take physics 1 freshman year

[hearty sand]

it's optional for freshman i don't know why

[cinder gorge]

so I just take honors physics freshman year and then take Physics C later

[half thicket]

Im doing 4yrs of the basic

Math,sci,english n social studies

I agree physic 1 shouldnt be a prq

Physic is alg based

Honor physic is scrapping by

Physic c in general is calc based

MANN OKAY

So

Physic c e&m aka two credits

My school is weird

Senior thou

!@!

Mech

My school is weird

E&m is 2 credit long

No mech

Just e&m

Which as i said 2 credit long

Let me see my school bookley

But i can also do physic 2 ap in jr

Idk if im ready to commit physic c 2 credit long

Mhhhh

Yeahh

But 2credits

I did talk to my counselor for sumemr cc classes to finished my 4yrs sci and math

Rgn im doing pre calc in summer

So jr year ima do ap calc so i finished my 4yr of math

So extra classes

So i think senior year would be better

Mhm so i gotta finished my sci now

Idk which sci class for next year summer

Looking for some easy ones as i alr did ap bio,chem,physic

Aka 3

So ap physic 2 would be now 4yrs of sci

Is just very confusing man

But im gonna do physic c i need to do it

[carmine lily]

What classes do you guys reccomend should be taken in the summer

[carmine lily]

Also do you guys reccomend taking psych?

[brazen lynx]

Depends do you like the subject overall

[south aurora]

Hi y'all

[celest lake]

are there any good one you could recommend?

[feral chasm]

Hebrew?

[polar saffron]

Neat

[fair dagger]

I'm stuck between Personal Finance and Entrepreneurship. Which would you guys recommend is more important? Personal Finance seems very important so then I can learn to do useful stuff like pay taxes and bills, insurance plans, and other stuff. Entrepreneurship also seems important if only because I really want to go into business after High School. In Entrepreneurship we learn useful things about that like market analysis, financial reports, and other stuff that seems useful for what I want to be.

[fading topaz]

Do you have the opportunity to take both before you graduate?

[fair dagger]

No unfortunately not. Well not with the plan I have in mind anyhow

[fading topaz]

Personally I'd say personal finance

I took it and it's a very valuable experience

[fair dagger]

okay, thank you! I might be able to take both but if I can only choose one then I should figure out which would be more beneficial

[mint current]

hello! I recently received a message from my counselor to send my schedule in terms of dual enrollment courses for the fall semester. I am currently definite on taking AP world, AP seminar, AP psychology, precalculus, orchestra and symphony. what I need advice on is to whether use the last period as a study hall to take 2 extra duel enrollment OR to take AP English composition. the main reason why im stuck on this decision is because colleges recommend at least 3 years of English so im not sure on how important it is for me to continue with English even if im done with my English credits for graduation.

im also currently looking to apply to top university/ivy league engineering programs

[fading topaz]

Question, how free are you outside of school

[mint current]

I get home at 5:30 and don't do anything usually

[fading topaz]

I mean, if you're as committed as you say you are you may have to hold your nose and take it anyway

[mint current]

I just had my freshmen uear

going into sophomore

[fading topaz]

Oh if that's the case chill a little bit

Like good lord that is one heck of a schedule

[mint current]

but like, how important is it to follow the recommendations for classes they want you to take

[mint current]

I took ap bio and ap human in my freshmen year

[fading topaz]

You still have 2 more years to take those English classes

[mint current]

does it necessarily have to be consecutive?

am I allowed to take a gap year in English

if I can I would love to do that but I don't want to hurt my chances

bc ive been wondering if the years you take certain subjects need to consecutive or if the order doesn't matter as long as you take the class

[fading topaz]

May have to ask someone more experienced in the area, but I've never seen in mentioned anywhere they look directly at what year you took classes

[mint current]

ah ok

[fading topaz]

Certain classes have prerequisites that guarantee consecutive

[mint current]

what do you think about the recommendations that the top universities provide on classes you should take though

how much should I abide to them

before it starts lowering my chance

[fading topaz]

As closely as possible but keep in mind that universities would rather have a human being than an academic robot

[mint current]

yea

[fading topaz]

That's why college essays are so much about you, and not a list of your classes

[mint current]

if I don't take AP eng lang next year then I can take it in my junior year then ap lit in my senior year

so they will hopefully just see one gap year in English

thx for the advice though

[fading topaz]

Np mate

[cinder gorge]

If u want to go into Business then I would say Entrepreneurship. It will teach you the stuff you will really have to know to work Business full time and will help you a lot compared to Personal Finance which seems like something you could probably learn yourself anyways.

[kindred tapir]

what are some good undergrad business/finance related programs and colleges?

[potent linden]

Something that is future-oriented. It might be controversial, but i dont think conservative degrees, like accounting, economics, or finance, alone can be beneficial. At least not as much as if you were to pair them up with fintech or cs.

[dense shoal]

Ur school offers a personal finance major? Lmao

[kindred tapir]

thanks!

[oak barn]

Can someone help me with my question?

It's so hard

I can't solve it

[cinder gorge]

Yes if i can

What standard u in

[oak barn]

Ok

Here photo please explain it

[fresh vale]

So to do this question, we need 2 sticks

Put them next to each other

And because i am asian, i can redefine math

[oak barn]

Yeah

[fresh vale]

Stack the two sticks on top of each other

[oak barn]

Oj

Ok

[fresh vale]

The way i do it, it makes the number 7

[oak barn]

Yeah

[fresh vale]

So 1 + 1 = 7

[oak barn]

Oh ok

Thank you

[fresh vale]

Your welcome

[oak barn]

I have a test today

[fresh vale]

You're*

[fresh vale]

Hopefully i have helped

[oak barn]

And this is worth 90 percent of the grade just that question so just had to check

[fresh vale]

Don't worry

If you fail

I am asian remember

I can change your grade by redefining math

[oak barn]

Ok

Thanks

[half thicket]

4yrs of english is better suited anyways

Thats why im doing 4yrs of the basic

[mint current]

well im basically done with all my English credits since I took extra courses in 8th grade and in 9th so I don't really see any purpose in taking English honors if it's not going to help me

that's why I was contemplating whether I should take ap eng comp this year or next year and then take ap lit the year after

[idle cove]

how do i write a formal letter to my teachers explaining that i forgot my lesson because it was my first and i apologise

[cinder gorge]

I would take AP English composition because at least at my school, we are required to take 4 actual years of English and our local schools, the UCs, also mandate 4 years. Taking AP over dual enrollment will likely fit better in your schedule, rather than taking dual enrollment outside of school, which would likely take up valuable time, which could be used for extracurriculars or homework. I would continue your English throughout the rest of high school, just to keep it constant and to have a good balance of humanities and stem. Good luck with whatever you decide!

[cinder gorge]

Use formal language and explain your reasoning behind why you forgot, such as you were doing something else that was important, etc.

[cinder gorge]

Should I take AP psychology online during the school year? I’m not sure if it’s worth the time, especially with my current schedule and extracurriculars (I do basketball for 12 hrs a week during the winters and early spring, Girl Scouts - working on my gold award, I run a few clubs, and I have an internship once a week for 4 hrs). This is my current finalized schedule - we don’t have AP psychology at my school.

AP Calc combined
AP chem
AP bio
Apush
Journalism
English 11

[lunar harness]

Tbh you're better off self studying AP psych, its not terribly difficult from what my friends have said. Your schedule is kind of insane to be honest, but its up to you.

[cinder gorge]

I also want to get the GPA boost through AP Psych (not the reason why I’m taking it), which is why I would take an online class

[shell gulch]

Help I don't know if I should take art over business or no

[hoary pawn]

does anyone else's school have integrated math classes instead of the regular algebra, geometry, & trig classes?

my school is weird with math classes

for some reason they have most seniors do trigonometry/precalc when it used to be more of a junior thing

so i have to do trig/precalc over the summer just so i can get into ap calc

here are my past and planned classes

i wish i had more honors in sophomore but 9th grade being online for the whole year screwed me over

also id do AP CS A but my school does not have it

unfortunately

[cinder gorge]

Take it online

[hoary pawn]

i probably will

[fair dagger]

Can sports count as PE credits or do you have to do PE?

[half thicket]

Sports is a pe credit@fair dagger

Just look at your school course booklet

[fair dagger]

I did but it doesn't say anything about that.🥲 I was wondering because another high schooler from a different school said that it can

[half thicket]

Theres team sports

Dancing too

In hs idk theres even a class called pe

There are pe credit thou

Just look at pe credit group

[cinder gorge]

i think the rest of your classes are fine, they’re the same things i took. just be careful, taking precalculus over the summer is not easy

[fair dagger]

There is, we have three different pe's: PE, Personal Fitness, and Sports Development

[hoary pawn]

ah alright

[half thicket]

They should be count as pe@fair dagger

If you play sports like baseball,basketball etc

It will count

[fair dagger]

I'll have to contact my counselor because I think it depends on the school

[wise forge]

I am taking 2, 4 week semester classes concurrently at my community college both starting in July. Does anyone have advice on how I should balance them out with my PE Summer School class for my High School?

[errant pasture]

Does anyone know where to take online dual enrollment; I'm hopping to take Multivariate Calc/Linear Algebra next year and Real/Complex Analysis next. Keep in mind I live out of the states

@everyone

[wise forge]

Note: PE is four and a half hours a day. The classes are online and asynchronous. I am mainly asking for advice on time blocking my day efficiently with adequate breaks.

[wise forge]

Local community college

Usually they offer a program for High School Enrichment or Concurrent enrollment.

[errant pasture]

I'm not in the states so that's why it has to be online; I don't have the option available to me

[wise forge]

Usually US Schools don't offer dual enrollment opportunities to out of state students more or less out of country. For free that is.

[shadow jacinth]

Anyone have tips for ap span culture😭

[sand citrus]

These are my classes for sophomore year:

[cinder gorge]

Are those all the ones you are going to do?

(What does CP stand for)

[wise forge]

Hey im in Honors Chamber Singers as well lol

at my school

[cinder gorge]

I'm taking it cuz ima go into getting a history major and just want more social studies classes

[wise forge]

I am majoring in Political Science and I am taking AP Gov but not the test. My school just doesn't accept college credit as high school credit.

[cinder gorge]

😂

[shadow jacinth]

its common for kids in my school to take 6-7 aps in their junior year

idk if its because my school is extremely competitive

[cinder gorge]

oh damn, kids at your school are monsters

[wise forge]

My school doesn't have enough class periods 💀

[shadow jacinth]

wait... anyeong!

[errant pasture]

oof

[cinder gorge]

Funnily enough the class I'm most worried about is the advanced chemistry

[shadow jacinth]

im korean american

[errant pasture]

yeah wtf

[cinder gorge]

My school is too small for that

[errant pasture]

same

[shadow jacinth]

for me what helped was staying on top of my notes

[sand citrus]

At my high school math for like the average kid goes
Algebra 1- Geometry- Algebra 2- Precalcus

[shadow jacinth]

you should watch "organic chemistry tutor" on youtube

[cinder gorge]

[cinder gorge]

I will remember that!

[shadow jacinth]

and also NEVER forget stoichiometry (its always going to come back)

stoichiometry is pretty easy so i wouldnt worry too much

[cinder gorge]

I suffered most during the chemistry part of Biology last school year so I'm worried

[shadow jacinth]

chemistry isnt as hard as it sounds

[shadow jacinth]

the stuff about water?

[cinder gorge]

More like the all the chemical formulas to make certain molecules and shit like glucose and all that

[cinder gorge]

agreed chemistry wasn’t hard as long as you stayed on top of your work and made sure to understand concepts. idk about ap chemistry tho

[shadow jacinth]

yeah no ap chem is tough

[cinder gorge]

oh damn, now im scared

[shadow jacinth]

oh are you takingit

[cinder gorge]

yea junior year

[shadow jacinth]

oh.. good luck

[cinder gorge]

I'm glad I'm not taking ap Chem 🙏

ty

[shadow jacinth]

the class is harder than the test btw

[cinder gorge]

AP environmental science will probably have chemistry though

[wise forge]

My counselor wouldn't let me take AP Biology even though I've taken Biology Honors so I took the biology class at my community college to spite him.

The kicker is he would let me take AP Chemistry.

He was like "I can put you in AP Chemistry this year and you can take AP Biology next year.

[cinder gorge]

uhh, did you plan to take them both during the same year?

[wise forge]

No.

[cinder gorge]

oh

I would die taking 2 ap science classes

[wise forge]

I want to take AP Physics C my Junior year with AP Calc BC (both have to me taken together)

not AP Chem

so only one science this upcoming year

[shadow jacinth]

I heard its easy

[wise forge]

Self study APES with APBio

its really easy

[cinder gorge]

I am so worried about AP stats though cuz I have to do it through an online thing cuz the class wasn't big enough to have a teacher for it

[shadow jacinth]

from what i've heard it is mostly math (calculations with statistics)

[cinder gorge]

yea it’s not bad, i took it freshman year actually

And no one from my school has passed the ap stats exam yet

[sand citrus]

Is AP environmental the easiest science AP class?

Also what math do you need to know in AP environmental

[shadow jacinth]

ap stats is easy as well (according to many people)

[shadow jacinth]

how to use a calculator

[wise forge]

AP Physics 1 I think.

[shadow jacinth]

no....

[wise forge]

It’s algebra based

[shadow jacinth]

Apes is by far easier than physics

[wise forge]

No college physics courses are that simple lol

[cinder gorge]

Yeah but it'll be online

[wise forge]

AP Physics 1 doesn’t give college credit most places bc of that

[cinder gorge]

And idk if I can do it online considering how bad my freshman year was

[shadow jacinth]

my friend took it as a free class so im sure you will be okay

ap physics has a low 5 rate

[wise forge]

if you are good at english you’ll do fine

[sand citrus]

okay lol

[cinder gorge]

well golly I sure hope I am

[shadow jacinth]

remember this for stats... "Causation is not the same as correlation" (this might be flipped)

[wise forge]

my school doesn’t even consider it an Honors class and it’s AP

[sand citrus]

At my school they don’t like any freshman take AP classes and then sophomore year you get only two AP class option choices which is AP music theory and AP computer science principles

The AP classes mainly start junior year at my school

[wise forge]

same

[sand citrus]

Yea

[wise forge]

I am allowed to take APs bc i’m GATE and it pissed people off

Hell they didn’t let my brother take Honors English cause he wasn’t gate

[cinder gorge]

gate? gifted and talented education?

[wise forge]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

My freshman year was weird they allowed me and some others to take AP world history

Because of online school I got a D as my grade but got a 4 on the test cuz its my expertise

[shadow jacinth]

i loved ap world

[wise forge]

i got a high enough score on the state test i didn’t have to take the IQ test so i prob have the lowest IQ 💀

[shadow jacinth]

the notes weren't fun but it was interesting

[wise forge]

I plan on taking Ap Euro

[cinder gorge]

💀

[wise forge]

do you think AP Euro will be better or worse?

[cinder gorge]

That teacher for my AP world actually ended up using me as an example as a student with low grades but a high test result to her future students

[cinder gorge]

I wanna take Euro so bad but my school is too small so it doesn't offer it 😡

[shadow jacinth]

not sure but my friends who took it didn't struggle too much

[cinder gorge]

it has less content so better i think

[wise forge]

My AP Euro teacher died a few months ago so idk if we’ll be having it

[wise forge]

More in-depth content

[cinder gorge]

yea

certainly less than ap world tho

[wise forge]

yeah

My schedule is so impacted idk if i’ll be able to get the classes i want

[cinder gorge]

My AP gov teacher is leaving my school so hopefully a replacement comes in

[wise forge]

Yeah

[cinder gorge]

I'm out of social studies classes to take after this year 😡 🤬

[wise forge]

my counselor signed me up for the wrong class this summer and i almost got the wrong credits and was fucked over

[wise forge]

dual enrollment?

concurrent enrollment?

[cinder gorge]

(What does that mean)

[wise forge]

take classes at community collrge

or local uni

[cinder gorge]

were they fired?

[wise forge]

nope-

[cinder gorge]

💀

My basic public speaking class and my Englishes are at a college nearby I think

[wise forge]

I have to do my own counseling so i help people now since i’ve done so much research

[cinder gorge]

But my town is small so no really close big colleges

[wise forge]

my counselor is the gis for summer school lol

[wise forge]

yeah

[wise forge]

go to your colleges website and look for high school enrichment or concurrent enrollment opportunities

usually tuition is free but you have to provide transportation and materials

aka take online courses and get free pdfs

my psyc prof gives us the pdf for free

[cinder gorge]

Honestly yeah online courses wouldn't be a terrible idea I may do that my senior year

[wise forge]

yeah

and free college credits are always helpful

[cinder gorge]

Very true

As I wanna go all the way to getting a PhD after obtaining a masters so like ima need all the money saving I can get

[shadow jacinth]

which college

[wise forge]

it’s hard to get scholarships too

[cinder gorge]

I feel like that would expose my location

[wise forge]

i’m in music classes trying to get something for my music proficiency and i’m writing essays for them right now to start stacking

[shadow jacinth]

oh oops it wasnt my intention to expose it lol

[wise forge]

but i’m white so it’s really hard even tho my dads salary is 30k

[cinder gorge]

It's just a technical college kinda nearby

[cinder gorge]

I'm white

oh the misery

[wise forge]

yeah

my state supposedly offers financial aid but i looked at it and even tho i’m a minority in my county, i don’t qualify for enough money.

[cinder gorge]

At least I'm LGBTQ+ I get to be a minority in one department

[wise forge]

nope

[cinder gorge]

[wise forge]

I’m genderfluid and was bullied for that as well@as my skin color. No buts.

The people that tied me up to the tetherball pole and beat me while the teachers turned a blind eye get better opportunity then me.

[cinder gorge]

Holy fucking shit-

Where the hell do you live cuz that's actually wack that happened to you

[wise forge]

California

i moved from Florida and people weren’t used to a white kid…

i was like the only one in my elementary school

[cinder gorge]

...southern california?

[wise forge]

I’d prefer not to say but take your best guess if you want.

[cinder gorge]

Hmm...

[wise forge]

But yeah the bullying stopped in 5th grade when i had my growth spurt

and i could fight

[cinder gorge]

It had to be SoCal if they weren't used to a white kid

[wise forge]

🤷‍♂️

[cinder gorge]

If it's Jefferson or something ima cry in pity

[wise forge]

lmao

[cinder gorge]

Living in Northern California might be as bad as living in Arkansas or something like that

[wise forge]

Yeah…

When i came out as genderfluid i lost all of my friends 💀 besides my girlfriend and my best friend

[cinder gorge]

Yikes-...

[wise forge]

yeah

[cinder gorge]

I live in fuckin Kentucky I'm surprised nothing bad has happened to me for coming out as bisexual and all that

[wise forge]

Well yeah.

[cinder gorge]

Especially being in a small town of like 3000

[wise forge]

yeah like

LA and SF get all the attention, so California seems like they’d be more accepting than Kentucky

Anywhere else, even SD, they are not excepting

[cinder gorge]

Oh-

😶

Thats...actually really unfortunate

[wise forge]

i was hated more when i lived in west virginia but that was when i was still straight lmfao

so they’re beating WV

lnfao

[cinder gorge]

Oh my God imagine living in West Virginia 💀

[wise forge]

i don’t want too 💀💀

[cinder gorge]

There are very few states I'd hate to live in more than West Virginia

[wise forge]

I don’t want to go back

my mom left bc i’d come home from school with black eyes

[cinder gorge]

not only cuz the hostility towards people like me, but also lack of opportunity and terrible geographical situation damaging jts economy

*oh&

[wise forge]

Yeah

WV is

[wise forge]

oh

[cinder gorge]

Lmao

[wise forge]

idk what that is

[cinder gorge]

Me neither

[finite lance]

the level?

[wise forge]

i was lookin at your about me and so apps and i was like ooo that’s fun

[cinder gorge]

Lmao

I look like a fun person eh?

[wise forge]

Well yeah but i was referring to the button which did that 💀

[cinder gorge]

How did you do it I wanna try

[wise forge]

says apps

[wise forge]

oh

lmao

[cinder gorge]

Idk then lmao

[wise forge]

oou

lmao

[cinder gorge]

Yep

[wise forge]

i lost my airpods case today at pe

idk where

i only have my right airpod

note: i’m poor so they’re chinese knock offs

[cinder gorge]

Imagine owning airpods or anything like that

I own headphones

[wise forge]

lmao

[night bronze]

I accidentally left my airpods in my pockets after a run and put them in the washing machine

[visual patio]

i did that before

[night bronze]

I only realized they were in there when I heard a loud bang every time the drier spun

[visual patio]

theyyll be fine

[night bronze]

they wernt lmao

theyve been broken for three months

[visual patio]

what

[night bronze]

the charging wont work

[visual patio]

lik

the case

or pods itself

[night bronze]

the case

[visual patio]

oh

[night bronze]

it charges for a sec, blinks ed, then shuts off

red

[visual patio]

ah

:/

i only did it with my air pods

not the case

so i guess im lucky

[wise forge]

If you want advice on scheduling, 4 year plan, or 8 year plan feel free to dm me or ping me and I can help you to the best of my ability. I have spent hours researching for my own plan and wish to share that knowledge with people. My counselor hasn't been any help in any of this so I had to be come my own.

[uneven bobcat]

Aye im picking my subjects for year 9 australia and im a bit overwhealmed with what there is and theres some subjects. i kinda want to take, i enjoy them and theres some classes that i want to take because i beleive it would flow well into the career path that i am going for but i can only pick up to a certain amount of subjects so i carnt have everyone i wanted so would i just get rid of majority of them that im only doing for enjoyment or do i go 50/50 with the ones for my carer and enjoyment.
note: these subjects arnt just like the ones that are like the easiest ones, these are genuine subjects i enjoy.

[icy summit]

Yes go 50/50 that’s what I did

[wise forge]

Take what you enjoy and stuff just make sure you meet the graduation requirements.

[south aurora]

Can you help me out

[wise forge]

Sure :) what do you need help with

[south aurora]

We'll i have a lot of subject and i don't have so much time to study everything i don't know how should I manage time i even have a lot of syallabus i am kinda confused...

[wise forge]

Hm that depends on what kind of person you are

Would you excel in a time blocked schedule? or Would you excel with a todo list for short bursts of energy?

Try to get a basic conceptual understanding of your courses, a lot of AP or college courses are repeats of basic stuff from lower level classes (E.G. Elementary school, middle school)

[south aurora]

I think blocked schedule

[south aurora]

I even have a lot of class per day

[wise forge]

Familiarize yourself with Google Calendar or a similar program that will help you block your time better.

[south aurora]

Ok thx

[wise forge]

My school has a mandatory 6 and I take 8 per day

If you're too worried about your work load, take a look at the content over the summer.

[south aurora]

I have 10 or 11 class

[wise forge]

Woah

What country or state are you in?

[south aurora]

I am doing that in summer vacations i got a lot oh hw

[south aurora]

India

[wise forge]

Wow

that is a lot

good luck!

The homework should prepare you.

[south aurora]

Hw is just so annoying and useless it even doesn't belong to my course

What i am studying

[south aurora]

Thx

[wise forge]

odd

Usually homework aids mastery of a subject.

[south aurora]

It's not the same with my hw

They are useless

[wise forge]

hm

[south aurora]

Mm

[half thicket]

I can relate the pain

[wise forge]

so glad

[half thicket]

Doing de classes while having several jobs and many out of school things like volunterring

[wise forge]

yep

[half thicket]

I swear i grown 3 white hairs during that clads

[cinder gorge]

Oh-

[half thicket]

BRO THE ONLY REASON IM BEHIND AT MATH

[wise forge]

lmao

[half thicket]

They said I was able to be in the pogram but i gotta pay so hell no

But i heard other students didnt gotta pay?!?!

I could have done geometry in 8th grade and could have done ap calc in hs

Thank god im a first gen latino student

Hopefully i can atleast win some scholarship

[bold echo]

Hi

[undone grove]

In my high school, there are two senior advanced English classes you can take: AP Lang and English 101/103. English 101/103 is a dual credit class. Which class do you think is harder and which do you recommend?

[visual patio]

Ap Lang and English is harder

[half thicket]

But dual credit could be tricky@undone grove

So you need to know which colleges you wanna go wether is in state or out of state and check their dual policy

[little thistle]

hii guys what r ur thoughts on AP bio and AP Lang??

[half thicket]

Ap bio is fun

Ap lang is good if you like writing essays

[little thistle]

on a scale of 1-10, how difficult do u think each class is?

[half thicket]

Apbio 7- gotta learn the fundamentals and vocabulary

Ap lang is 5- it really depends on the person bc of it being a english credit class

[little thistle]

oooo thank you sm 😌 do u have any tips for either of these classes?

[half thicket]

For bio flashcards yeah u can do a study group but stem kids are greedy and want competition so

I always translate taylor swift songs to a bio unit so it can stick in my brain

Ap lang- read books bc being a class full of essays you do need to know the structure but thats what the teacher are for

[little thistle]

ahh i see, thank you sm i rlly appreciate it

[reef flower]

Can u help me also?

[wise forge]

Yes I can.

[pine wadi]

do any of you guys recommend AVID

[wise forge]

i don’t, i know many former members who don’t.

[errant pasture]

Does anyone know where to take online dual enrollment; I'm hopping to take Multivariate Calc/Linear Algebra next year and Real/Complex Analysis next. Keep in mind I live out of the states
@everyone

[wise forge]

Note: @everyone won’t work.

I will do some research and get back to you

[errant pasture]

thankssss lifesaver

[wise forge]

https://www.ouc.education/international-dualenrollment/

check out here, i’m not sure about pricing.

https://icangotocollege.com/resources/dual-enrollment

[wise forge]

“Both international and undocumented students can enroll in dual enrollment courses, but they may be required to pay non-resident fees. College boards may be able to waive these fees for special admit part-time students who meet certain requirements. Contact your local college to discuss your status and to discuss a possible fee waiver.”

[errant pasture]

Yeah. Damn y'all Americans have it so easy you can take AP or community courses whenever you freaking want to

oof

[wise forge]

Yeah

[errant pasture]

I'm looking at options like the one you gave @wise forge but they're all either for starting college early or doing high-school-level courses in community college.

I'm gonna melt

[wise forge]

that’s the point of dual enrollment essentially

[errant pasture]

im trying to take college-level courses during HS

not enroll in college early

or do hs courses in a community college

[wise forge]

That’s what dual enrollment is

like you enroll in the college during high school

to take courses

at the college level

You can always transfer the courses to a college of your choice.

[errant pasture]

maybe I'm not explaining myself well. What I meant by enroll in college early is take a degree

[wise forge]

Why do you want to take college classes?

[errant pasture]

because I finished the hs-math courses at my school

and i need to do math for like 2 more years

so it's either take a higher class

or repeat classes like 5 times

[wise forge]

Well these classes don’t really give you the dual credit for india

[errant pasture]

and I will literally go insane if someone tries to explain quadratics to me for the 12th time

[wise forge]

I don’t even get dual credit for my high school

[errant pasture]

oof

yeah i wanna apply to an american college oof

[half thicket]

Yall if youre thinking to drop out of school do it‼️

[half thicket]

Maybe dont

[wise forge]

Classes that give dual credit usually have an atriculation agreement

[half thicket]

👌

[errant pasture]

oof sadly not an option

[half thicket]

Why?

School isnt for everyone

I suggest going to cc college or trade school😁

[errant pasture]

welp im not american, as I said, so those options aren't any good sadly

[wise forge]

Those are great options for people. But I am guessing most people in this server are seeking higher education and academic endeavors.

[half thicket]

Oh no I want all of them to drop out

Or not apply for univ

[errant pasture]

welp

[wise forge]

Yeah I don't think you'll be able to find anything in the US that'll do it. Especially since it seems you need it for a graduation requirement.

[delicate tartan]

Is there a website that accurately converts Australia’s grades to US’s grades?

[quiet arrow]

https://gpacalculator.net/grade-conversion/australia/

would this work?

[sly pecan]

Can someone also get it for indian grade?

[visual patio]

helloooo

[young kiln]

Should I take AP Gov or dual credit gov??

[cinder gorge]

Ap gov, it is probably more rigorous but college like to see you challenging yourself, in addition, colleges tend to prefer AP classes so taking AP gov is a better option.

[tired pawn]

has anyone taken AP World history modern? I need to know what to expect next year

[cinder gorge]

I have, took it freshman year. Tbh, it wasn’t that hard, it’s one of the easier AP history classes. The stuff that you’ll learn are commonly known. Just make sure to read the textbook and watch heimler’s history as there are some confusing parts

[tired pawn]

@cinder gorge Thank you!

[wise forge]

I don't get dual credit but I took american gov at my CC to get better credit than AP gov bc AP Gov typically doesn't give good credit

[young kiln]

i think both are equally rigorous, dc gov is just hard to transfer to other university

but idk about the ap gov exam. Is is easy since we have to take it at the end of the year but the class itself is only fist semester

[minor geyser]

is university 101 really worth it? im required to take it bc of the program i got into 🙄

[wise forge]

Hm

[minor geyser]

it’s a course u take in college freshman year to teach u how to basically manage college, academics, finance, basic stuff, etc.

[cinder gorge]

As a freshman I’m gonna take seminar English, adv biology, Integrated math 2, Spanish 5-6, and computer graphic design… all advanced classes 🥶. Rest In Peace free time

[severe oak]

oh that's a lot 🥶

[cursive garden]

Do u know any youth organizations where i can join?

[hollow condor]

Does your school have NJHS?

[hollow condor]

Are you an early college student?

[rough mountain]

I’m a straight A student, except I don’t have a 4.0? Let me explain: Like I’m so confused, I had all as for my final grades and only two bs from a virtual class and from a science class back in the first semester. Somehow I have a 3.6 gpa? I love in Florida idk if that changes anything. I’m very grateful for my grades but can I really say I’m a straight A student, and will I ever get into a good college without a higher one :((

[finite lance]

gpa is not everything

as long as you maintain a high gpa you probably fine

[minor geyser]

no, i just graduated high school and start college in the fall. im in a capstone scholar program that requires us to take univ101

[hollow condor]

Oh. Then I’m guessing it’s a prerequisite course

[minor geyser]

not rlly it doesn’t count towards anything it’s like a high school 101 class but for college

[rough mountain]

Ok thank you 🙏🏾

[lapis jungle]

Hey guys! Two things, starting tenth grade, and I am planning on taking AP chem and APUSH 1 (everything up to industrial revolution) And I was wondering how the class go? Expecially ap chem, im willing to put in the hard work and hours but what are some tips? ty

[rugged widget]

imo only take advanced if ur A good at it or B enjoy it preferably both but one or the other so if u like chem or ur good at chem than yeah if ur not either but u think u could do good then yeah always best to try it

but i still in hs so my opinion isn’t experienced

[native furnace]

https://gpacalculator.net/grade-conversion/india/

[cinder gorge]

ap chem is rly hard but its also an introductory level course

so he could take it as an intro to chemistry

[cinder gorge]

That’s a nice way to put it. You don’t really need to know chemistry to take ap chem it’s just advised you do bc it’s difficult

[median tangle]

What is ap human geography like? I'm taking it in high school.

[cinder gorge]

Generally speaking, ap human geography is definitely one of the easier ap’s. The class was a breeze but the test is quite challenging so study a lot.

[high citrus]

is AP Stats hard?

[wise forge]

Relative to the other AP maths it's less rigorous. My school doesn't consider it an "honors" math class so you would not be eligible to be on the Varsity Math team if you only took it. Compared to your algebra 1 or geometry courses? yeah its hard.

[high citrus]

Thanks 👍

[muted frigate]

For me it was hard until I understood and it was EXTREMELY easy. I swore I got 100% on the AP exam and I’m not kidding. I guarantee that I got close to perfect score on the multiple choice section and a really good score on the Frq section

[pastel fable]

the aps i currently have scheduled r ap lit, apush, ap chem, and ap stats. but i’m not sure about ap lit. should i switch it and do ap bio instead (i want to still have 4 aps even if i drop ap lit)? for reference, i’m planning on either majoring in journalism, psychology, or chemistry/biochemistry in college (prob applying to different schools based on what they offered out of those 3). and if i should take ap bio, would 2 science aps be too difficult?

[vagrant lava]

You have a varsity math team?! I’m a little jealous

[cinder gorge]

Same I’m jealous too

[hasty stump]

if i take an AP class online, and report that I took it to my school district, and they count the credit, can it count towards that years gpa?

[heavy bloom]

idk abt ur school but at mine they only put on the transcript as a pass or fail so i don't think it counts in ur gpa

[alpine oyster]

Didn't have ap stats but all I have to say is stat isn't hard , it's more of the annoying side

[cinder gorge]

It depends on your school and if they accept credit from that place. For me, my school does accept UC approved courses, so I get credit and it counts towards my gpa

[cinder gorge]

depends on the person, but if you can mentally prepare yourself for the anguish and workload of 2 science aps JUST for the chance you switch your mind to chem/biochem in the future, then yeah go for it. IT WILL BE TOUGH THOUGH, juggling it will be difficult w all your other classes. Put things on a scale and see how hard this affects things on a scale

[pastel fable]

thanks for the help!!

[hoary wharf]

Hey, I want to become a product manager or PM. What classes should I take and major?

[tardy talon]

Should I take pe as an online (apex) course and replace that class with another ap or elective

I already do dance inside and out of school (dance class) and I’m planning to do track as well

[cinder gorge]

lol enriched gym is always fun, its an easy class

[lunar harness]

i ddin't know apex offered pe 🤣 can't you get pe credits waived with dance and track tho?

[tardy talon]

I can’t get the credits waved unfortunately 😭

[vast thistle]

is chemistry a hard class? I’m taking honors and im a little scared

[cinder gorge]

Don’t be. Honors chemistry is certainly not an easy class but as long as you pay attention in class and revise you’ll be fine. I know this because I took it freshman year

[lunar harness]

chem is a breeze

you'll be fine

[cinder gorge]

I wish we had honors 😔

[visual patio]

unfair to people right?!

[cinder gorge]

Fr honors for all!!

[hasty stump]

Cool that’s the same situation with me. Thanks for the info

[wise forge]

Sadly my school doesn't do any of that. I have to send over my transcripts to the UC's I apply to separately for my UC GPA.

I took Micro online my Freshman year and it pissed off my counselor because only seniors are supposed to take that class and one, they refused to let me take the test on site so I took it at another and two they won't recognize I took it.

and then after that I requested my counselor let me take 3 summer school classes when they cap it at one and I watch him have to accept it.

I have an arch enemny

He actually enrolled me in the wrong class until I created a paper trail and he changed it. Almost got the wrong credit.

[rough patio]

How much do elective classes matter? If so what are some recommended elective classes that will look good for colleges / that are also enjoyable?

*non AP

[finite lance]

What do you enjoy

[rough patio]

Last year I did business but I only did it so I could get into my high schools deca chapter. But I enjoy politics however that’s not a choice

[finite lance]

Politics arent usually offered this early

[rough patio]

Yea junior elective at my school

[finite lance]

There isnt much options then

[rough patio]

Sophomore year is the worst year for electives. Ur stuck with the same ones from freshman year …

So I’m kinda stuck in a pickle

I’m wondering if doing an art related class would be good … idk

[finite lance]

Is AP European History hard?

[lucid sun]

I mean, time management is key.

[visual patio]

yeah? @lucid sun

I really want to take 2 APs in my Freshman year(I already signed up for AP World History), and I was thinking about majoring in economics since I enjoy higher level mathematics and want to learn to apply it to real life. Considering this, should I self study AP Macroeconomics in my Freshman year, as my school does not offer the actual class?

[opal valley]

im not really good at sci so would it be difficult to take both chem and bio or should i take just one?

[slow sun]

ofc, it doesn't hurt to do any self study, as long as it's not too much of burden. but i recommend self studying macroeconomics now since you'll much less time in the later years. my school is formatted in a way that freshmen can take 1 ap max, up to 3 in sophmore year, and as many as 7 in junior year. is your school similar? if so, then i'd definitely reccomend doing ap macroeconomics now. BUT if it turns out too difficult and hinders your other studies, then dont sacrifice good grades for the ap. (and remember about extracurriculars!)

[cinder gorge]

It’s not “hard” in terms of content, but it also depends on your work ethic and analyzing skills. If you’re naturally good at analysis or already have strong analyzing skills, the class will not be too difficult for you in terms of essays and the writing portion. For me, I put a lot of time and effort into the class since we had so much work and I would make like 20 pg study guides for each unit, so I did really well in the class and I never saw it as hard either, just time consuming.

[noble schooner]

ew Euro

I just took the class

you would need to memorize a lot of terms

and then pit together the storyline

I thought of it as a story and I ended up with a good grade after much effort

[cinder gorge]

Fr I liked it

Though

[cinder gorge]

Same

[noble schooner]

I am not excited to APUSH lol

taking it next

[cinder gorge]

Yes if you can argue, you can literally get any point even though the answer is wrong

[noble schooner]

not sure what I did

anyways

[cinder gorge]

I legit bs Ed everything

And got my way through arguing

[noble schooner]

DBQs and LEQs?

if you have a valid argument and some supporting ideas you're fine

just outline it like the rubric

[cinder gorge]

Like I talked about imperialism as a political effect without knowing about scramble for Africa, Berlin conference, nothing

[cinder gorge]

Yeah and SAQs

[cinder gorge]

Same I’m a world history fan

[noble schooner]

those would be evidences and if you get the idea across they'll give you the point

[cinder gorge]

Ik but I didn’t know they existed

It was the unit before

I just knew the term imperialism and what it meant

[noble schooner]

lmao that unit my teacher lost my essay so she gave me full points for free

💀

[cinder gorge]

Lolll

But yeah if you can argue, story tell, or both, you’re solid

[noble schooner]

👍

[cinder gorge]

Yes, my school's situation is pretty similar to yours. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to answer my question. May you be blessed 🙏

[glad plaza]

Hey guys, can you please help out my friend? Write what you know down on this doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FVp92IMSbIVatYbqK0fqCEx8td9pPfim-H7aK4On2ds/edit?usp=sharing

[hasty stump]

hello

so I was wondering how hard Ap calc Ab is

for reference, I will be taking this class my sophmore year(or this year)

[somber meadow]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows and good online AP CSA courses since my school doesn’t offer an APs and I want to take it next year. Also, approximately how many hours of studying does it take per week?

[quiet arrow]

if your school doesn't offer it, you should definitely self study it. freshman year would be the perfect time to do that as later in high school you're probably going to take more ap classes through the school which would take away from your free time more and more.

personally my school doesn't offer any ap classes for freshman so i'm trying to self study several this year

[cinder gorge]

Thank you 🙏

[quiet arrow]

i'm also going to be self studying ap csa this year, and i'm going to be first going through the entire "study for the ap computer science a exam" course on codecademy (codecademy itself is free, but many courses require you to have a premium account that you pay for, including the ap csa course) then go through the entire barron's review book for that. i don't know how many hours it will take per week but i would estimate 5-10.

[reef flower]

Any tips for apcsp ?

[grave nebula]

Any tips for ap world and ap psych

[cinder gorge]

Super easy class and tbh I don’t really have tips other than try to start coding early and looking at the curriculum of the class

Oh and actually read the create task rubric so you follow it correctly once you get there

The class doesn’t take much effort overall, and neither does the exam

[reef flower]

Did u take the class? Jw

[cinder gorge]

Yeah

I had no prior experience either

And what you learn in the class really depends on the teacher

[prisma arch]

so true

[pastel fable]

how’s my current senior yr schedule looking?:
ap stats, apush, ap chem, english 4 honors (ap lit isn’t offered next yr and i already took ap lang), cp csp, honors chamber singers, cp principles of biomed
also should i switch out principles of biomed for dual enrollment since i just have 3 aps, or keep it as is? (the de classes r sociology and economics)

[vagrant lava]

I found that AP classes teach for the test. Therefore, I wouldn’t worry about how many you take. It will look better (and be better) doing extracurriculares that intrigue you:). Though if you still would like the most APs as possible, I would recommend taking calculus instead of stats and self studying stats (assuming you haven’t taken calculus yet)

[pastel fable]

thanks! but nah i’m sticking with stats, i suck at math and the teacher for calc and stats is bad tbh so i’d rather do stats since it’s easier and won’t be as torturous with a bad teacher lol

[vagrant lava]

Yea fair enough. I’m a math/physics nut so maybe I’m not the best person to answer your questions:)

[pastel fable]

lol that’s fair, it’s fine still helpful tho

[mighty fulcrum]

it looks good as long as you think you can successfully do it!

keep in mind senior year is college app year and that's stressful and hard and draining emotionally and mentally. So definitely not a good year to overdo it or push yourself to do more than before

[pastel fable]

yea true

[mighty fulcrum]

hmmm by successfully i mean keep up with the classes and not be overwhelmed and dying

bc grade wise

you only really need super good grades until college app time (and sometimes not even (it depends on your school's grading system) bc on the common app you can write in progress)

and then after you get into a university they typically have senior year grade rules

meaning you have to get above like a c or d in order to stay enrolled

(which is relatively low compared to striving for A's)

so that's a plus

though doing good should be the goal since you still take and pay for those AP exams and AP tests can let you skip classes

[rough patio]

Any advice for a sophomore taking APUSH ?

[mighty fulcrum]

Make sure to study your notes so you remember the information lol

For me it helped to create fun acronyms and little stories to memorize things

But even then I have a memory worse than a goldfish so for me the main thing was remembering stuff

And then essays stuff are just your typical LEQS and DBQS so if you already have some practice with them you’ll be fine. if not, later in the year you will practice it and just make sure you are adhering to the timing

[hardy musk]

do u guys think i will flop if i take these classes and do u guys have any tips for these classes

[graceful gale]

Next year I am doing my 2nd year of Spanish. After that, would colleges prefer for me to take more years of Spanish until AP Spanish or quit after my 2nd year and take more ap classes? I know I would get more AP classes into my schedule if I were to drop out of Spanish next year but I know that colleges prefer 3 or 4 years of a foreign language. I am planning to apply to schools with low acceptance rates and I want to increase the chances of me being accepted.
