Makes one wonder what percent of students are readers – by that, I mean how many read for pleasure on top of 3 or 4 AP classes, ECs, etc. Also, isn’t Calc BC the second semester, not the second year?



Haha, I thought you meant AP readers (graders)…

Calc BC maybe is second-year for HS, but a slight combination of all three semesters at the college-level. I suppose it depends on how school structures the course. My bloody high school (it will take me a while to say “former”) had AB structured over the whole year, grrr.

I haven’t read many books for pleasure recently, but namely because reading online has become much more convenient. If we didn’t like to read for pleasure I’d assure you it’d be way less easy to self-study for 16 AP courses and get 5’s in all of them, because we’d have no background in the courses we were self-studying. ;)
