Advanced Placement Classes

Mad in the blood.:

I just have one thing to suggest to anyone, never, never take AP Chem. I must have been delusional when I chose it. Hardest class, guaranteed.

I'm taking AP Chem and I don't find it that difficult. Challenging, certainly, and there's a lot of study and work involved, but I kind of like it.
Then again, my teacher's really good and I'm a huge nerd. :XD

My teacher's really good too. He's apparently the best chemistry teacher in the entire nation and has a medal or something. So it's pretty sad that I'm still doing terrible. I've just discovered that in my school they make the course harder than the actual AP, though. :|
I hate it. I don't understand it, I don't care, and I don't want to be a doctor. The fucking end. When I'm done I'm burning all my notes. haha

Yeah, apparently they do that a lot to make sure you do well on the exam. I have a friend who took AP Biology and she was literally laughing through the whole exam because it was so easy compared to the class itself.
I shred all my school notes on the last day. :tehe:

I graduated high school in '08, but the ones I took were:

Honors:
English, 9
English, 10
Biology
Chemisty
Microeconomics

AP:
European History
US History
US Government
English Language
Literature
Biology

It made high school a living hell. But you know what? Now that I'm in college, it was so worth it. All of you up there who are hating every moment of the AP/Honors life--YOU CAN DO IT. Trust me. You'll be happy in the end.

That's what I keep telling myself.
I also think of how much money I'll save in college. :tehe:

I'm really just tryng to get AP English and AP History. That's really all I care about. The AP classes at my school are extremely difficult, but it's so much easier if you have the right teacher.

So I'm pretty sure I did really bad on the AP English exam. :shifty
It was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I think U.S. History was not bad, anyone agree?

^My sister thought it was pretty easy.

Next year I'm taking four AP's...AB/BC Calculus and US/English 3.

I kind of want to kill myself.

I'm pretty sure you can't take both AB and BC in the same year...

^I don't know if you can take the classes in the same year, but you can't take the AB and BC exams in the same year.

If you're on block schedule, you probably could. It depends on the school. I would end up ripping my brain out if I did that, though. :XD

I'm taking AP World History this year.
The exam is on Thursday.
We're screwed.
A lot of my friends have invested in outside study guides (Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc.), and a lot of what's in there is new material.

Even our teacher is clueless. My friend asked her some questions from the Diagnostic Test, and she got them wrong.

APWH=Fail. Especially with my wonderful teacher

Next year, I'm taking AP English and AP US History. It's gonna be fun. o_o

Last year, I took AP Human Geo. I had an amazing teacher, and I got a 5.

No, I'm pretty much 99.9% sure you can't do it. When I was taking my U.S. History exam I was reading the rules in the Collegeboard book they give us before we started and it clearly said that you can't take the AB and BC exam in the same year...

^Yeah, I remember reading that when I was taking my AP English exam.
I wonder why that is? :think:

I'm not up there yet but I will take AP English and History. Since I'm only a freshmen I am only in the Honors classes.

I was in AP American Lit last year, and I hated it.
AP's are overrated.

^I really hated reading American Lit in English last year. I can't imagine taking AP American Lit.

You smarties. I'm hoping for a two!

Mind if I ask which essays you chose? :shifty

My English teacher wanted me to join either 10th grade Honors or AP English classes this semester but I heard it was killer and politely declined without telling my parents. Besides next year I'll be in IB English so I assumed it wasn't necessary.
Was that really an intelligent choice on my behalf?

Well, what other classes are you taking?

Regular classes.

^Well, if you're going to be in IB English, then yeah, that was a smart choice (in my opinion).
I've heard IB classes are killer.
