    I kinda did something that sounds like AP last year, except there were only 2 people from my high school in the class, and it was only for 2 weeks.

    My senior year I'm thinking about taking AP Italian my teacher says she could see me in it even though she thinks that class is pointless. Other than thinking of that I'm not in AP anything my friends are in Pre-AP english and world history and they all hate it so I'm glad I just took regular 9th grade english and world history.

    I'm currently taking AP English, to be honest with you, it's the biggest joke of a class I've never taken.

    My sister's in Pre-AP English and they do more work in that class than we do in an actual AP English class.

    I'm in AP History now and it's no where near as hard as everyone makes it out to be. I'm taking A P English next year and I don't expect it to be any more harder than what I'm doing now.

    I'm planning to take several APs next year. It's a little scary to think about it, but really that's just how my class load worked out - I'm moving up one level in each subject area and the only ones available are APs.

    I'm really looking forward to AP Language and Composition, it's a really rigorous class in terms of writing but I like writing and reading and to be honest my English classes are ridiculously below my level in how in depth we go in books.

    I just wish my school offered more APs. I really want to take AP Psych. :x

    I took AP English. Only one person in my class sat the exam for college the credit. The rest of us just took it because we got in and wanted to.

    I'm taking AP biology. I adore biology, but I hate this class. It's an online class and we're essentially teaching ourselves everything, and teaching yourself AP material alone is not the easiest thing to do.

    We don't really have AP classes here... at least in my school, we don't.

    You just kind of stay in one class room and never go out (except for potty breaks, lunch etc.) and the teachers come to you. Everybody in your year level is pretty much thought the same thing. I think the only thing you can consider AP classes here is if you get into the Pilot Class, which is basically the class where all the smart braniacs are crammed into. :tehe:

    I was in that class last year, but I dropped out from there. :XD I got tossed into a regular class.

    I'm currently taking the AP Language and Composition class. I'm kinda eh in it. >.> Getting a C so far. It's the first AP class I've ever taken.

    Our school also has APUSH (like someone above me said, AP U.S. History. A lot of my friends are taking it.), AP Literature and Composition, AP Economics, AP Calculus AB, AP Spanish, AP Japanese, AP Art History (again, some of my friends took this last year. Said it was murder for them. I feel their pain and I didn't even take it. o_o), and we're looking to get the AP Biology class for next year.

    I'm gonna continue taking AP English classes (meaning AP Lit with whom we call "the bird lady" next year), and, if I somehow became good enough, get into AP Calculus. I don't aspire to be in that class though. I can deal with regular Calculus. I've got a friend in my grade in AP Calculus, and she says it's a pretty good class, but I mean, she's amazing at math. Others have different perspectives on the class. I wish I could take the AP Bio class next year, but what they're planning is to have it either run through two class periods, or have it be one class period, and having to come in on Saturdays to complete the labs. I am staying the hell away from AP Spanish, and probably Spanish in general. I'm not cut out to learn a foreign language. XD

    What unnerves me about this class is taking the AP exams in May. :/ I think I can just barely pass the AP English exam with a 3, maybe a 4 if my essays are good enough by then. And I need to study lit terms for the multiple choice. I'm taking this class. I am going to earn the credit, dammit. D:

    I'm in AP English.
    And to be completely honest, it feels the same as my English 10 (H) course with the addition of more multiple choice.
    Majority of the class is spent on multiple choice or timed writings.
    Our past semester exam was structured like an AP exam. I fell asleep during the middle of it and managed to get a 4. XD

    APUSH, on the other hand, isn't going as well. I got a 3 on my essay. XD I don't like the way the class is formatted. We spend most of our time learning how to write a proper thesis. Which is wonderful, but my essay goes to crap after my amazingly good thesis. XD
    I don't think the class is as hard as it is made out to be. You just can't get behind in the reading (like I did.)

    In AP English, we're doing a poetry project. You have to pick a poet and do an in-depth analysis of one of their poems. I chose Lewis Carroll.
    Personally, I can't wait to present my project. I'm such a nerd. :XD

    I took AP / IB Spanish my junior year and this year I'm in AP / IB Chemistry. The Spanish was easy and I had an A the whole year. Chemistry's pretty challenging but I like it so it isn't all that bad. I was in AP Calculus but I dropped that one.

    All of my other classes are International Baccalaureate (IB) classes. Which I very much dislike at the moment!

    I'm in AP Science, AP Algebra, and AP English.
    Harder high school level stuff.
    And I'm in eighth grade! :cheese:
    It sucks.
    Wow!
    You must be really smart.
    But that's great, you're getting ahead in life :cute:
    Well, I guess you're right.
    But I don't like them. At all.
    You can't screw up, ever. And when you do, you get lectured, no matter how you screwed up. Even if someone else does the same thing, you get lectured for it, and they do not.

    Happy Birthday, by the way!!! :cute: :arms:
