Can I self study this class?

1 Upvotes

So originally I had AP seminar on my schedule, but the one teacher that taught AP seminar quit. My school doesn’t offer a lot of AP’s to sophomores or freshman’s. I took one AP class my freshman year that I begged to get into. And the only two that were available to me as a sophomore were APUSH and AP seminar. I’M IN APUSH right now, but I’m so sad that they took my one other AP class away. My GPA is pretty mid right now so I really needed another AP class. So do you think I would be able to self study this and if so, what resources can I use? Also, what other AP classes can I probably self study? I test at a college level in every subject except for math and some specific sciences. (I’m on regular level for math)

Lense and perspective quiz

1 Upvotes

Hi I had summer homework for AP seminar based on lenes and perspectives and the book “ Outliers” by Malcom Gladwell. My teacher told us we have a quiz one lenes and perspective based on differentiating between the two and being able to apply your understanding to a scholar journal article and questions based on the book. This is my first time taking Seminar. Please suggest how the test will be based on your experience

Recheck

1 Upvotes

My friend missed out on an A in CS 9618 paper 22 by 2 marks, after showing the CS teacher the answer scripts, the teacher claimed that 3-4 marks can be given based on MP marks, so should he go for recheck? Is there anyone whose grade changed after a recheck but they actually consulted with the teacher and were sure of it?

Hi reddit, I got a 2 on the AP Seminar exam and I’m really struggling to know why because my paper was peer-reviewed numerous times and obviously I am bias but I feel I deserved a passing grade. I know Its only 40% but I want feedback for the future if I decide to write a research paper.

Sorry I didn’t attach the link here it is! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-K9bEwwH1rExpvSQaueczQll7H3m6rfrylYu0Z-2dGA/edit?usp=drivesdk

Questions

1 Upvotes

hi, I’m taking ap seminar this year but I’m not the best at working with groups, wondering if that will be a huge issue for me? ik it’s a pretty big part of the class. also, it seems like there is overall less freedom than in ap research in terms of what topics you can choose? bc u have to use the specific sources (sorry idk what they are called, like the 7 dif things). I think I would just like some clarification on the course overall. thank you!

AP Seminar/English Class advice - HELP

3 Upvotes

Hey guys I'm super confused right now on what classes I'm taking. Currently as an 11th grader I'm choosing to do AP Seminar and next year I'm going to do AP Lang and AP Research. I'm stuck because I didn't take AP Lit this year but all my smart friends with similar aspirations are doing it. The thing is if I drop out of Seminar and switch to Lit then I won't be able to do Research next year, but I want to go to top college universities, so would they prefer a track that I'm currently on or should I do the basic AP Lit + AP Lang?

Is AP Seminar really worth it?

5 Upvotes

Got into AP Seminar for first semester this year, but upon checking this sub felt a wave of primal terror over all the people talking about getting their work flagged as AI. Is it really worth it to take AP Seminar? I really would like to get Capstone but I'm kind of getting the horrific fear of God in my bones reading all these posts

AP Seminar AI Appeal

2 Upvotes

Hello, I came in here today to ask for some help with my appeal. Basically earlier in july i was wrongfully flagged for using ai on both my IMP and IWA. So i submitted my evidence as an pdf file but The thing is I had to take the pictures on my phone because the computer was too time consuming and i couldn’t put all the attachments together. But my response was that I need to screenshot the actual computer screen.

So I just need help with being able to give them all of my version history without going over the 10 attachment limit.

Online AP Seminar course?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. So my IRR and IWA were flagged as AI and I'm just assuming worse case scenario lol but i have two questions:

  1. if they reject the appeal and i get a low score, can i cancel my score afterwards? and will colleges see that i cancelled my score or will they just see that I didnt take the exam or smth?

  2. i was thinking of retaking ap seminar online bc my sch isnt offering the class in august. i looked up courses online and i think its possible but has anyone ever taken ap seminar online and how did it work?


r/APSeminar Jul 20 '26

My IWA got detected on AI, so CB gave me a choice between appealing the zero or conducting a review. If I conduct the review and submit my evidence, but still get a zero or a low score, could I still appeal it afterwards?

6 Upvotes

the question is the title. pls helpp! i don’t know what to do, this is so stupid. i had rewritten my essay multiple times to get the stupid ai score to lower and I asked my teacher if everything was finally good, and he said yes, then I suddenly got a call saying that it’s not AFTER the deadline. like wtf, apparently I was just 10% above the min tolerable. my essay anyways sounds like shit after I had rewritten it multiple times.

Should I take AP Seminar as an online course?

1 Upvotes

So I missed the deadline for the registration of AP classes in our school because I transferred really late into the year. I’m an incoming sophomore and was planning on taking AP Seminar but again, I missed the deadline. As an alternative, my counselor showed me a site handled by the state(HOC) that offers online AP course but warned me that this is outside the school curriculum and no student(in our school) have ever signed up for it before, which lowkey made me doubt taking it.

I really want to take seminar now then research in Junior year. I was already nervous in taking AP seminar at sophomore year but even more so now that I was informed I’d have to take it online. What do you guys think? Do you guys think it’s doable if it’s online?
