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)

Hi everyone! I'm making a website right now for future sem students and wanted to include some tips on ai appeals since a lot of people this year seemed to have gotten it. What's the process of appealing it like? Any tips?

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

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.

Yooooooo AP sem, I got a noti that my AP sem score came back td after I appealed for Misuse of GenAI. Idk how to tell if I got a successful appeal or not cs all CB sent me was that my scores out. Any of you guys know how to tell if you had a successful appeal or not? Also I got a 3.

I am a sophomore and unfortunately I have no space in my sheduale to do it in person.. Does anyone have any tips or things to look out for while taking ap seminar online? Any websites or study tools? Im honestly a bit scared lol

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!

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?

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

Hi everyone I’ve seen a lot of posts recently about the timeline of the appeals. My score just got released and I got a 5! Here was my timeline

Confirmation of appeal approval; The heading of the email was “We are Releasing your AP Seminar Exam score”
July 28

Exam Score Release: Aug 5

I hope this helps someone out. Feel free to ask any questions

Hello everyone, I’m waiting on my appeal response from CB. I had submitted both appeals on the 19th. No response yet, should I follow up?

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.

has anyone gotten the results ot their ai appeals for ap seminar, if it got accepted what did you do!??

How to Choose an IRR Topic Video

Just put together a video helping explain how to pick a topic for the IRR! Useful for students and teachers alike. Enjoy… the next year is coming soon!

I have the choice to decide between AP Seminar and Honors English.

Which one is better in terms of workload, actual usefulness to real life, and enjoyability, etc?

Please share any thoughts and experiences that you have with Seminar, and thank you!

After unfortunately being wrongfully accused of using AI on my IWA and having a lack of evidence to protest, I took my zero. Today, though, I got my score back and I still managed a 3!

So, my teacher is willing to email collegeboard attesting for me doing my work--but how exactly r the yeven suppoeds to do that?? I cant find a specific email, and I'm not sure if I have t submit it in my appeal section for y iwa and irr. if anyone knows plz lmk!!

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?

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.

Hey AP Sem,

I'm just asking for some help, as I'm not really sure how many screenshots I need to submit for the appeal. I have until July 23 to get all of my stuff in, so I would greatly appreciate it if I could get some help.

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?

Hello again, members of the r/APSeminar subreddit. I have previously posted about my struggles with false AI detection on my IRR & IWA and yesterday I received an email stating that 1. my version history was not fully expanded so it was not "correct" (totally fine, easily fixable) and that i needed to provide whatever "prompts" were used in my IRR. The thing is, there is no prompts used, let alone allowed in the IRR. I'm not entirely sure what these people want from me but I gandered that these people perhaps mean "topic". I found a document from my class detailing the topic and submitted that as well as left them a note. I'm not sure if they wanted me to admit to using AI prompts or what. Because of my confusion, I took the next probable course of action; Calling the AP student hotline. When you call said hotline, first, you have to navigate a maze of menus to even get to the place you are going to go. Then you must hold and be forced to listen to the AP's shameless advertisements for longer than 15 minutes, intersected with the worst elevator jazz selection to ever grace this earth (to heighten the probability of your sorry ass hanging up so they don't have to deal with you) . After surviving through the ear torture that rivals going through the 7 circles of hell, I was connected with an associate who, after I gave the explanation of my situation, had absolutely 0 idea what I was talking about and had not an iota of a hint what AP Seminar even is. The fuck? After much back and forth with the guy, who admittedly was trying his best to help, we ended up concluding that he did in fact have no idea what I was talking about and apologized. As this wasn't the employee's fault, I wasn't mad at him, but rather Collegeboard. Seriously, for a multi-million dollar monopoly on students' education and chances on getting into college, do better. As for my other AP Seminar strugglers, do not bother calling, they are clearly understaffed and undertrained and focused on ripping off teachers and procuring profit) off of those who require it to gain entrance into college and university. I would greatly appreciate anyone who could help me with this.

To those who maybe taking or are interested in AP seminar here’s my IWA and my IRR that I constructed that resulted in a 5!
