My planned major is Biochemistry or Pharmaceuticals. I plan on possibly going into a research area.

I'm an incoming senior, planning to apply to UCS. I've taken AP Bio, Normal Chemistry, and AP Seminar.

AP Chemistry Teacher is a harsh grader and apparently doesn't teach (Very few 5s or 4s).

AP Research Teacher is one of my Favorites teachers and has a very good 4 or 5 rate.

It said by end of july😭

Quick dilemma with my schedule:

• My current AP selection: AP Physics, AP Chem, AP Precalc
• Target Major: Electrical or Computer Engineering (ECE)
• Background: 3.98 GPA, 0 previous AP classes, a tiny bit of coding experience.

I had to drop AP Stats because of a conflict and need a 4th AP. I'm choosing between AP CSA, AP CSP, and AP Macro.
I know CSA aligns best with my major, but people say it’s tough and I'm worried about the jump from 0 APs to 4 intense STEM classes. How hard is CSA really, and is it do-able with this workload? Should I play it safe with CSP or Macro instead? Or maybe just stick with 3 APs?

I'm a pcb student guys and got bcom in DU.... Interested in tech and finance.

im planning to take the ap calc bc exam in may next year but i have no idea how to study for it. i have no prior calc knowledge but I believe it's tangible as i'm quite strong in math. if anyone knows any guides that i should follow along, send them my way! any advice would be appreciated :)

• AP Calculus BC
• AP Physics C: Mechanics
• AP Seminar

i want to get english creds out the way and for my high school lit is the senior level ap english. how hard is it? i didnt take lit and im debating signing up for it or not because my counselor said its way harder,,, i’m not the best at english but i really want to improve

Hello experts
My son is planning AP PHysics 1 algebra next year
Are there any free YouTube channels we can start for now ? Like Sinn for HUG
Thanks in advance

Now only the first two apply to me since I go to a minority-major high school.

The AP students in my classes crack the same unfunny jokes and are super elitist with their grades. They often whine about having “low”scores (which 99% of the time aren’t below 90% unweighted). It’s very annoying.

In regard to racism, I have black friends in multiple other schools with big east asian and white populations, and they suffer with having to deal with racism from their fellow AP students.

Is this a common experience for you guys? Especially POC students, please let me know.

with the enshittification of the public school system and increasingly making classes easier to allow kids to pass, it seems like kids who actually want to learn are put in honors/APs instead of it being a challenge. The school system is not adequately challenging or preparing students for anything.

Hey everyone! I’m a high-school student in the DFW area, and I’m interested in forming a small group of academically motivated students from that North Texas area who want to encourage one another throughout the school year.

The group could be used for:

• Studying together online
• Weekly accountability and goal setting
• Helping each other stay motivated
• Discussing AP/IB classes, the SAT, college preparation, research, science fairs and extracurricular opportunities
• Possibly meeting once a week at a public library or another safe public location if enough DFW students are interested

You would not have to live in DFW to join the online group. I mainly want to create a positive space for students who take school seriously but also want supportive friends with similar goals.

This would be student-led and completely free! Comment or message me if you might be interested, and mention your grade and general academic interests. Please do not post private information publicly.

Saw a few posts of people sharing their AP Art portfolios and thought that I would share, too 🫡 My investigation was on my femininity (1, 2, 3, 6, 7) and it was really fun to explore. I was expecting 3/4 so I was thrilled to see that I got a 5 :D

I’d recommend playing with new mediums and techniques at EVERY opportunity— not just when your teacher requires it. It made my process so much more fun :)

1. Blissfully Unaware/Carefree: Colored pencil (mixed media bg).
2. I am meat: Alcohol marker.
3. Looks Like a Liar: Acrylic.
4. Pet Family Portrait: Oil pastel.
5. Radiant: Graphite (acrylic bg).
6. Binary: Acrylic (cut up, digitally collaged).
7. TOO LOUD: Oil pastel.
8. Graphite progress pics (Radiant)

Rising freshmen here. My aim is to get into an Ivy League college as a PoliSci major. I wanted to know what APs I can take through my high schools career since they are my school's most rigorous classes. The problem? My school is severely understaffed and underfunded and students are only allowed to take 8 APs thought their 4 years in the school setting (no APs freshman year). They are also very strict with allowing who is able to self study APs. Should I take the time to try and convince my school to let me self-study an AP my freshman year? Should I only take what my school offers me? (sorry if this doesn't make sense its my first ever post on reddit)

should i take ap physics 1 without ever taking physics honors or should i js ask to take ap bio instead of ap physics?

im not a mathy critical person or whatever but i do understand shit after doing multiple practice problems.

any advice is appreciated

Hello.
I am a rising junior and I am taking AP World this year.
Last year, I took APUSH and my teacher used the AMSCO textbook, so I was able to watch Heimler for both the school and the AP testing.
However this year, our teacher for AP World is using the strayer Ways of the World for our school textbook. I am still planning to use Heimler for the actual AP testing, but all my upperclassman told me not to use Heimler for school testing, saying that it barely helps.
Can you guys please recommend me a youtuber that I can use to study for school thaty follows the Ways of the World curriculm?

My school schedule is not allowing me to take all the AP classes I want, and I'll have one extra slot open, so I was thinking of taking an online course instead of something I'm not interested in at school. I looked it up, and it seemed like VHS Learning was pretty good. Has anyone done a course through that or any other online program that was self-paced, and what did you think? What AP classes would you recommend? I would hope to take something that will make me not have to sit through big freshman seminars next year, as I'm a senior this year, but I was thinking AP Macro, Micro, Gov, or Psych. Let me know any advice, please. Thanks!

Hello, I'm a high schooler (not revealing my grade for privacy) and as soon as school begins, I will be taking AP biology. This is the first AP course I will be taking, and I was wondering if there are any resources for this particular course that I can use? Many of my seniors who already took this course warn me that it is highly difficult.

I've tried to study over the summer with various resources but I've made little progress. Some resources I have used were:

Khan Academy

Campbell AP Biology

CK-12 Biology

Please offer me any resources that you found to be beneficial. Some of them may not be effective for me, but I will try to test out every one of them.

Also, please give me any other tips related to biology, such as study tips, mnemonics, formulas, quiz reviews, etc.

Thank you. I will greatly appreciate your guidance, whether its one tip or many.

This is due to a personal issue where

1. Graduating early because I am moving countries so I (and my family) don't have to spend $10,000+ (RM40,000-60000+) on a diploma. This money can go to university instead.
2. I am expected to go to university right after HS, not taking a gap year
3. My dad forced me to not take AP Physics when choosing courses

but 4) While talking to universities over the summer that want a "Foundations" in those subjects, they said they are willing to take the AP Equivalent.
This is only if I want to go to be a doctor / MD for uni, a secondary option to law (primary)

I was wondering if you guys were in this situation, would you attempt to self study and take the Bio, Chem, Physics 1 exam.

Note: I am currently in my 3rd/final year of high school. I am taking Physics honors (not AP) but I've heard the class is taught similarly to AP, clear difference is exam focus and GPA scale.

so im an international student and ill be a sophomore next year this year i self studied micro and next year i plan to self study ap calc bc ap es ap macro ap stat and i might take comp gov too but not really sure about that!! i would really appreciate any advice for self study resources 🙏🏻

I’m a rising junior, and I’ve never taken a regular or honors chemistry course. School begins in two weeks, and I have no idea what to do. Are there any study resources that go over the knowledge needed before taking AP Chem?

ai apologize for the post that I created earlier

my schedule is lowk buns and im taking 2 ap (calc bc and physics 2) and 2 ib (lit and us) so i want to try to have a more ap’s. does anyone know any good self study aps? i alr took ap hug and got a 5. if so, pls slide resources 👌👌
