<p>so is my teacher too easy, am i too good, or is the class essentially designed to be easy?</p>
<p>i don’t want to get below a 4 on the college board test but at the same time i don’t want to work too much so i need some answers</p>
<p>Sleeping through any AP class is basically a path to <4 on the AP. If your main goal is to pass the AP test, get Barrons AP World and PR AP World. Ditch your 1000 page tome (textbook) and read Barrons several times throughout the year. Leading up to May, read through PR several times (you have the facts from Barrons, PR just synthesizes them and helps you make the “big picture” connections). Make sure you know the essay rubrics. That’s a plan to 4+.</p>
<p>I don’t know… I slept through AP Chem and ended up with both an A+ and a 5.</p>
<p>I didn’t sleep through my AP WH class because the teacher didn’t let us. However, I didn’t learn much through the actual class because I just stared into space everyday for an hour, didn’t really bother to read the textbook, and finally ended up with a B for the course. For the AP exam, I cram the entire course in 1.5 weeks, and got a 4.</p>
<p>jus get a review book a week or two before the test and you will b aight.</p>
<p>i got an A last year and this is basically what i did. it was a 2-hour class during lunch period, i couldn’t help myself from nodding off lol. </p>
<p>but the morning of the AP test, i woke up early and flipped through my review book for a half-hour or so before i went to school. i ended up with a 4.</p>
<p>not possible</p>
<p>^^ That’s what I did for Physics B, and I got a 4.
I spend my whole school year on chemistry because I wanted to make sure I would get a 5. Didn’t care about physics until like the morning of it, but still managed to do okay.</p>
<p>
Lol, nice way of calling the textbook xD</p>
<p>LukeC - Physics requires long-term study. There is no way (unless you’re a genius) that an entire physics course could’ve been crammed into that time period.</p>
<p>It is very possible to do this. Classes are not uniformly difficult across the nation; some people will have easier classes and teachers while others won’t. Just study a few weeks ahead of time and a 5 should be obtainable for almost any class.</p>
<p>^ I was actually really surprised by my AP score in Physics. Consider what I did in my physics class, I was really expecting a 2. I got my FRQ back from my teacher couple weeks ago, checked answer with the scoring guideline on college board, and actually got a lot of the questions right. Maybe my hardcore chemistry studying helped in physics? Or maybe they just asked the questions I happened to understand? I don’t know.</p>
<p>I sleep in APWH and I have a B (used to be a C-).</p>
<p>I can raise it to an A by the end of the semester, I think.</p>
<p>i’ll report back in june…if i can remember this thread</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice on Barron’s and PR. That is precisely what I’ll be doing. I loathe my textbook.</p>
<p>HAHAHA I slept through every class in World, you have no idea. And we didn’t have homework. And we made it to like the 1700s lol. </p>
<p>I studied from Barron’s the week before the test and got a 5!!</p>
<p>I definitely slept through AP Euro, and now I’m sleeping through AP US History.
I got a 5 on AP Euro, and intend to do so again in AP US.
It’s not that hard, if you have the right mentality for standardized tests.</p>
<p>Omg. I’m taking AP WH right now and it’s pretty damned hard D:
What makes it even more frustrating is that the teacher talks about stuff that isn’t on the test so it’s heavily textbook-dependent. Yet the textbook is just so damned boring T-T
jamesford, thanks for the advice. I might go and look for Barrons and PR AP WH…</p>
<p>You guys and your intellects, psh.</p>
<p>my APUSH teacher is my soccer coach… he wont let me go to sleep.</p>
