Advanced Placement Classes

Yeah that's what I though.
People have told me that AP is a breeze compared to IB.
I kind of don't want to take it now.

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

You smarties. I'm hoping for a two!

Mind if I ask which essays you chose? :shifty

2 (the one on pre-Revolutionary War) and 4 (the one on labor unions). But everyone looked at me all weird when I said I did 4, I guess the other one was more popular.
But I studied for like two weeks for it. To make up for what I know will be a horrendous AP Chem grade.

I really wanna do ap us. history, my sister did it, and she liked it, and I find American history really interesting.

I was in APUSH for a day and couldn't take it.

U.S. History is fun :cute:
I enjoyed learning about it!

^Yeah, I really liked APUSH too.
Except for the American Revolution; that part of history is really boring. :grr:

I'm not a huge fan of American History, it pretty much shows what lazy racist fucks we used to be. Usually, we just go into countries without even asking because we assume that we're "superior". Whatever, European History was way more interesting to me.

What did people think about the Chem test today? I found it difficult. But then again it's my worst subject.

The AP Psych test was pretty easy, I thought.
I think I got at least a 3.
Did anyone else take it?

My entire class did essays 2 and 5. I'm so scarrred. :XD
I didn't know anything about number 4 so props to you for choosing it.

Anyone else just take the AP Lang. exam? It wasn't too bad but I spazzed and failed on it. >_>; I found the second analysis essay to be a bit difficult. =/

I'm nervous about the AP Human Geography exam tomorrow. omgno:

You guys are lucky that you get so many AP courses. They were intoduced in my school for my last year. We had three - English, Biology and something else I can't remember. I took english since that was the only one I could actually take, because prerequisites and stuff like that. It was great, though we did have homework over the summer. Unfortunately, my mark wasn't quite high enough to get recognized by my university, though it DID prepare me EXTREMELY well for the English Lit course I had to take in first year university.

Did anyone else take the AP Human Geography exam today?
I thought it was the easiest AP exam I've ever taken.

Who took the AP Language and Composition Exam?
I didn't finish the last 8 M/C questions (very annoyed at myself).
However, I think I did really well on the three essays.

My main concern was remembering all the literary elements and the four modes of discourse ?_?

^ Took it.
I skipped a few of the multiple choice. Maybe five or six. Possibly less.
The essays were...eh. First one I did amazing on. I'm getting better and better at synthesis. Second was ugh. I always thought I was good at analysis but I guess not on this one. And the last one is...alright. I guess. I'm not expecting high on that one. I'm not good at argumentative or persuasion.

Honestly, I can't remember many lit terms that I learned throughout the course. We even had a packet of AP lit terms used on the exam, and had tests on them, but I still didn't manage to remember the meanings of a lot of them. >.>

I'm just hoping for a 3 at this point.

^ I took it too. I didn't skip any of the multiple choice but I totally bombed on the essays. They are all supershort and I think I misread the analytical piece (about environmentalists). It was horrible.

I'm hoping for a two for both AP Lang. and APUSH. :XD

I'm signed up for AP AB/BC Calculus and AP English 3/AP US History.

I think I'll be fine with the math and the English..but I'm terrified about the US.

I'm awful at memorization...and I can't take the AP English without the US.

Any suggestions from people who've taken it?

^I thought APUS was pretty easy, but I guess it depends on the teacher you have. Just make sure you do the work and I'm sure you'll be fine.
If your teacher has reviews for the AP exam after school, go to them. That's probably what saved me during the AP exam and why I passed it.

We don't have AP courses yet, just more advanced. They told me last year that they were going to put me in advanced Language Arts. Didn't happen. And I have the highest scores on the national tests in my grade at my school. They decided to put me in the lower Language Arts. Currently at a college reading lever, but I'm in the seventh grade. It's messed up. And wayyy too easy.

Ah, I'm going to be taking APUSH as a soph and people keep scaring me!
Even the teacher says it's as hard as it sounds, lol.
How encouraging right?
I hope I do fine though. :cute:

This upcoming school year, I'll be taking AP US history, as well as AP English. I'll be taking three honors classes (Chemistry, Algebra 3-4, Spanish 5-6) along as a zero period class for a semester.
I'm hoping to take AP Bio my senior year, too. :)

I'm honestly quite excited to be taking AP classes. I enjoy a challenge, and I'm hoping that passing the AP exams will get me a jump start in college so I can graduate somewhat close to my sister's graduating year.
We have to do extensive summer projects...does anyone else have to do those?
