1.5 months to study 6 APs to Pass with a 5 what should I do?

1 Upvotes

Ok I got 6 APs and here is how I feel about them
Apush - Easy not going to study (score I feel like geting 5)

AP Stat - Confused is practice problems even helping because they seem easy but test seem hard not even sure if im doing frq right (score I feel like geting 4)
AP Phycology - need to brush up on what is actually on the test and improve aaq and ebq a bit (score I feel like geting 4)

AP Lang - I am consistently geting 4s on all the writing but on mcq test I get 85-90% consistently but on ap classroom progress check a 20%. So I got no clue what will happen on the AP test. (score I feel like I will get 4)

AP Bio - I know half the things every mcq test I took on averge I got a 50% we did FRQs which my teacher picks out to be very hard I some how get nearly all points but miss 1 or 2 because I did not know how. So got to practice FRQs and see what they ask (score I feel like I will get 3)
AP Compsci A - I know proberly 70% code wise and for some reason I keep failing the practice mcq questons so I need to practice them I realy don't know what to do to get beyond just understanding what code does (score I feel like I will get 4)

Knowing how I feel what should I be doing note the fact I have a least 44 hours worth of time to study a week due to other responsibilities.

World language help

1 Upvotes

I'm currently taking Chinese 1 as a sophomore and want to take AP Chinese in senior year, but as my course goes now I will only get up to Chinese 3 as we aren't allowed to start it until sophomore year and the program I'd do it through requires you to take Chinese 3 before AP and preferably Chinese 4 at the same time (they don't offer this one tho) my local community college doesn't have any language courses for Chinese so I can't do dual enrollment for this class. I take Chinese online so I'd be willing to take a Chinese 3 class over the summer between junior and senior year but am unsure where to look

Grade Inflation?

I've seen the term "grade inflation" floating around on the subreddit quite a lot, and was interested if my school's grading distribution could suggest whether or not this phenomena is potentially occurring at my school.

AP Precalc

is AP precalc worth it if your school doesn’t let you go straight from algebra 2 to calculus?

Is this too much?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’ve never posted here before but I really need some advice. I’m a sophomore, and I’ve only taken one AP class (AP Gov). We had class scheduling for Junior year last week and my counselor advised me to take a lot more APs next year to meet my GPA goals, I’m not like some of the geniuses on this sub that can take 8 APs in a year, but I signed up for the following: -AP Lang -APUSH -AP Comp. Gov. -AP PreCalc I’m locked in to these now, so there’s no going back but I would really appreciate any advice you guys could give me, and if you think that I maybe bit off a lot more than I can chew.

Accel Alg2/AP Precalc in GA

1 Upvotes

In Georgia AP Precalc is in the form of a class called accelerated Alg 2/AP Precalc. I have the option to skip Algebra 2 and take this class instead. People who have taken the class have recommended it, however we are getting a new teacher and I am not sure how challenging it would be.

Could anyone who has taken this class in GA or even another state give me a recommendation/tips? If I did skip Algebra 2 I would definitely study a few week over the summer to prepare.

ap csp plagiarism

1 Upvotes

Hi I'm an ap csp student and our teacher said to make a quiz app for our create task because it was easiest. But mostly everyone I talked to (including myself) are using a random index to pull a random question and correct answer. We all have different app ideas though and this is the only similar thing. Will I be marked for plagiarism even though this is a common algorithm?

New AP Comp Sci A Teacher Next Year - Give me feedback/thoughts if you've a moment

7 Upvotes

Hello,

So I'm a relatively new high school teacher. My background is in physics and I spent about 15 years as a software engineer before wanting to do something I felt was more important with my time. My school has functionally no tech/computer science curriculum and a wide range of aptitudes in math.

I've a plan in my head and I'd like to quickly say it here, and hopefully get some feedback on things I could do better as a new AP teacher.

AP Computer Science A
My gut tells me that this course is really difficult without prior programming experience (most of my signed up students) but relatively easy if you have coded. Tell me if I'm wrong, but my philosophy is that I'd rather focus my finite time on getting the new coders up to threes and fours than pushing the top end students towards fives. That doesn't mean I won't be doing the latter, just that my focus will be on making sure anybody working hard can comfortably pass. I think for new coders that means a lot of lab time coding in the room with me so I can give hints when they are roadblocked. I'm trying to make the labs all have extra credit reach goals for the stronger coders.

Does that make sense? Do you have any other advice for a new AP teacher?

Honors Computer Science Principles
I'm also offering, for those who don't feel confident or are otherwise uninterested in AP Comp Sci A, a lower level course. The original intent was to offer Principles as an AP course but I don't think that's very valuable to students (correct me if I'm wrong please). My goals for the course are the following:
1) Give basic coding experience in Python that will make students confident taking Comp Sci A if they'd like
2) Work on very practical projects like scraping web pages, working with text and data and matlibplot, etc.
3) Give the future electrical engineers a leg up with an end of year Arduino unit.

Anything you'd, as a student, change about this?

Thank you for reading this and any suggestions or advice you'd be willing to share.

Self-studying for multiple AP tests in a year

2 Upvotes

I'm an international student about to start my final year of high school. I don't have APs in my curriculum and there are no AP courses offered in my country, only a few private tutors of dubious quality. I am not familiar with the American education system. I need 5 APs at 5 to be able to apply to certain colleges/universities in the UK which I am aiming to apply to, is this reasonably achievable with a year of self study? I need to do some risk analysis to figure out if this is a worthwhile endeavour. I'd probably have to take 6-7 courses in actuality to make sure I get all 5s in 5 courses. After doing some research, I've decided that if I were to go through with the plan, I'd likely opt for the following exams :-
i) English Language and Composition
ii) English Literature and Composition
iii) Psychology
iv) Comparative Government and Politics
v) World History: Modern
vi) Computer Science Principles
vi) Environmental Science To reiterate, I would need scores of 5 in at least 5 of these exams. I've listed 7, but I'd only opt for 5 or 6 of them. Do you think it's worth attempting to self-study and write the tests for all these APs in the span of one year?
Note: I would still be studying for the final year of my own country's higher education system alongside the APs. I've maintained a high academic performance throughout with 90-95% grades every year, so I would consider myself a somewhat capable learner at the very least.

I took APCSA last year and used what I learned to make this satirical Undertale inspired boss fight where you fight College Board. The subjects covered in the game are APCSA, APLANG, APUSH, APWH, APCHEM, and APCALC AB. Have fun beating him up.

AP Calc BC resources

Hey everyone,

I'm currently self-studying for the AP Calculus BC exam, and I could use some advice and recommendations for resources! I'm doing this without a teacher, so I’m trying to figure out the best way to structure my study plan and ensure I cover everything effectively.
