<p>@evanb1996: So I talked to my guidance counselors today, and they told me as of right now that only seniors can take online classes. Which means I am stuck with the classes my school offers.
Now I am trying to persuade my school to offer those IVC classes you were telling me about. Would you happen to know the requirements for a school to have a IVC class?</p>
<p>@nate42: I know that many of the schools that offer IVC classes often do not have the resources or teachers to teach those classes. For example, my school has a high teacher turnover rate (about 13-15%), so many teachers are not able to teach APs that they would like to teach because of lack of experience teaching with students at my school.</p>
<p>Oh okay. Also, my school ends grading periods every 6 weeks, do you think this would be a problem? And I saw on the videos of IVC that some classes only have one student.</p>
<p>I don’t think that it would. You wouldn’t get a grade every six weeks, but every nine weeks. But, the teacher may be like “I’ll submit your grade” at the end of the six weeks if they are willing to.</p>
<p>Oh okay sounds good. I really want to take Honors/AP Stat, if I can only persuade my school to let me do it. I’m sure I can get some of the supplies needed to take the class if all else fails.</p>
<p>I’m taking the AMC 10 and 12 next month. Anyone else?</p>
<p>@studios: What’s that?</p>
<p>wow you guys are making me feel nervous! </p>
<p>how are you guys taking ap classes online? </p>
<p>and also, what do you guys think is the best summer activity/camp to do???</p>
<p>@cheesecake101: Because our schools don’t offer them in a classroom. So we either have to take it through this residential school in our state or online.
It all depends on where you live, different states have different programs. But a lot of summer programs have applications that are close to being due (or at least the ones i’m applying to)</p>
<p>The American Mathematics Competition.</p>
<p>@studious: Yeah, I’ll be taking the AMC 10. I’ve never done particularly well on them (to get into AMC 12) though.</p>
<p>I haven’t posted in a while… nice to see you guys keeping the thread alive and well.</p>
<p>how was the first semester and exams for you guys? Any particular plans for the second semester?</p>
<p>And have any of you guys participated in the USABO? How was it? I’m underprepared, but I thought i might try it this year.</p>
<p>I’m thinking about taking the USABO. I don’t think I would do very well, though. I’m very good at biology at an AP level, but the USABO is a lot more advanced. I intend to study and take it Junior year, though.</p>
<p>I’m guessing USABO is the Biology Olympiad. I’m stuck at home reading and writing. I’m hating my English homework.</p>

<p>@evanb1996: Same here, I hate english. I wish I only had to take science and math classes.</p>
<p>Anyone thought about their senior year classes yet?</p>
<p>^ Yep. All APs except for some advanced math and science classes at a local community college.</p>
<p>^Me too. But I have to take a stupid fine arts credit.</p>
<p>^ I took Drama freshman year, so I got it over with early on. It was pretty fun, actually.</p>
<p>Awesome. What are you planning on majoring in?</p>
<p>Something to do with biology or chemistry. Or possibly math. </p>
<p>Major possibilities: biology, chemistry, biochemistry, mathematics, neuroscience.</p>
<p>Minor possibilities: mathematics, neuroscience, Mandarin Chinese, Latin.</p>
<p>What about you?</p>
