<p>I have none, my school doesn’t let you take APs unless you are advanced in math or foreign language, so I can’t take like APUSH or AP Bio even though I have taken all the prerequisites, they just don’t let sophomores take it. I think it is to keep class size down.</p>
<p>That… Kind of sucks. </p>
<p>At my school we can take as many AP’s as we like, although some of them are just for upperclassmen. Freedom to pick AP classes… It’s both a blessing and a curse.</p>
<p>Yes it does suck. I wish I could take APs now to lessen the burden the next two years. Next year I, and a lot of my class, will be stressfully piling on APs so we can get to the ones we want to take senior year.</p>
<p>I am stuck in a rut. I am getting A’s in my Latin II class but I don’t want to take it next year. From everyone I have heard, they tell me to do more than two years of a foreign language. I could do it next year but it would be much more added stress that i wouldn’t need. If i didn’t take another year of Latin i would supplement it with another AP. Im also an eagle scout and will be in four aps next year. My schedule is full of honors and aps and I have gotten A’s in all of them. If I have a high enough SAT score could i still get into schools like University of Florida or FSU with only two years of a foreign language?</p>
<p>if anyone could please give me some useful and real advice I would greatly appreciate it</p>
<p>Runnerstudent, try emailing the schools you’re interested in and see how many years of language they require. If they require three, I’d tough it out and take it next year. I’m in the same boat as you-I absolutely despise my Spanish II class and am so sick of it. Unfortunately, I’ll have to take it next year to get three years.</p>
<p>Hope this helped!</p>
<p>At least you all can take Spanish your freshman and sophomore years! At my school, there was a huge budget cut and got rid of the French and Spanish 1-3 teacher and left the Spanish teacher who taught 2-4 to teach all 4 levels by himself. Seniors and juniors get priority in all classes at my school, so all of the spaces are filled with juniors and seniors in Spanish 1 and 2. The disadvantage of living in one of the poorest and worst school systems in the state.</p>

<p>Ahh that is terrible!</p>
<p>I started French in sixth grade and got put into French IV freshmen year so now I will have to take AP French next year to get three years of HS French. Extremely unhappy about this…</p>
<p>Wait, aren’t French V and AP French the same thing?</p>
<p>^ No my school system goes 5, AP, 6</p>
<p>Oh I see yeah mine for Spanish goes 1, 2, 3, 4, AP then that’s it. I’m in 4 right now, but don’t think I’m quite ready for AP next year. And I also don’t have anything to take after AP and I want to take 4 years of the same language.</p>
<p>Well, I’ll be having my first school day of the year tomorrow. Wish me luck!</p>
<p>Are you serious? You had all last week off! I could of used another week of putting on my headphones and drowning out the world haha.</p>
<p>I’m about to have a horrible teacher rant since I can’t go to sleep. </p>
<p>So I have an interactive videoconferencing class (wont specify provider or course) where the teacher and the different schools from across the state log on to the Information Highway to come together as a class. So since my school started earlier than the rest of the other schools in that class, we started a new semester with a messed up schedule. As a result, my school missed two days of class. We come back the next day, clueless about the information that the teacher taught the other school. The teacher just gives us all of the information about the concept that can be crammed in 70 minutes. But, the teacher forgot to teach us an example of a problem that required the trig functions (sine, etc.). So the next day, the teacher sends the facilitator our group project that he gives us every Friday. When everyone gets the project, we noticed instantly that he never taught us the problem example, which was 50% of the project. So, everyone at my school can only make a 50% on the project since he didn’t teach us everything and we don’t have a book that is helpful (it is by far the worst math book ever written that I have come in contact with). So, everyone is preparing for C’s this grading period.</p>
<p>Carry on…</p>

<p>^ PM me, I’m pretty good with math. I’ll try to figure out the trig problem (unless you’ve already turned in the project).</p>
<p>I sadly had to turn in the project. It was about creating parametric equations to solve a problem. If you Google, rover sleepy hollow parametrics it will probably pop up. One girl found the answers to the whole project on Google.</p>

<p>So 2nd quarter grades for my school were released online and I ended up with an 89.4 in AP Physics B where an 89.5 is required to get an A. I’m going to try to convince my teacher to give me the A. Has anyone had any success at this?</p>
<p>How is AP Physics B? Would you recommend to someone to take it they were only taking precalc as a math? Or do you need to take calc with it?</p>
<p>Oh and I wouldn’t grade grub, teachers don’t usually look too highly of students that do that.</p>
<p>@anemsestudent</p>
<p>Go for it. It works for me. </p>
<p>For example… Today in AP Euro, we had a pop quiz. 5 easy questions later, half the class failed. I stared at my “80” distastefully for a while; then I opened my textbook to last night’s assigned reading, found the page to support my answer, and politely asked the teacher to consider an alternative response to a poorly worded question. Annnd now I have a “100.”</p>
<p>The moral of this story is…
Yeah, just talk to your teacher.</p>
<p>catchtwentythree: this isn’t the same thing though. You had a right answer that was counted wrong and that raised your grade. anemsestudent just had a bordering grade and just wanted it bumped up for the sake of having A. Don’t get me wrong anemsestudent I HATE bordering grades, the 89.4 kills me! But there’s nothing you can do to change it unless your teacher’s a pushover or you found some grading errors in a past test that would raise your grade.</p>
<p>At least that’s the way it is at my school, but if it is common at your school for teachers to bump up grades then go for it. I know my teachers don’t do that and would think so much less of me if I flat out requested them to bump up my grade, so that’s why I don’t ask. But I guess it could be different at other schools.</p>
