<p>@nate42: Shouldn’t the Learn and Earn NC program pay for your classes? I would talk to the Learn and Earn coordinator at the CC to see if the program will pay for your books and tuition.</p>

<p>I never thought of that! I have been scouring the Internet for internships and summer programs that fit my summer schedule, but I’ve completely overlooked my cc! I’ll have to check that out and see of I can get in an art or English class this summer. I wonder if the high school would pay for it like they would if you were taking it during the year?</p>
<p>@eminemfloop: Hmm I never thought of that possibility. It’s free at my school to take classes at the CC during the school year, I don’t see why not for summer. I will definitely have to look into that. :)</p>
<p>Wish me luck tomorrow. My school is having a Black History quiz bowl tomorrow. My team is prepared. This is my second appearance and I am mot trying to lose again! WOOOOOOOOOOO SGA!</p>

<p>@evanb1996: Good Luck!
For those of you have done AP, do you have to apply to get in the class?</p>
<p>^At my school seniors get preference for AP Bio but I still got in as a sophomore. You also need a teacher recommendation for AP English classes, AP foreign language, and AP Calc BC.</p>
<p>Our school is fairly small (~700 students) and in addition, it is not a really competitive school as far as academics go. As a result, we actually struggle to fill up our AP classes. As an amusing example, our AP Government class has a grand total of 3 people (there were originally 6, but three dropped out).</p>
<p>In fact, my school has the opposite situation. Sadly, some AP classes end up being cancelled if there aren’t enough people to sign up. You need 5 people to sign up for a class to occur the following year. We had AP Chemistry in effect last year, but sadly this year, only 2 people signed up for the class, so there was no AP Chemistry this year. Really, the only popular AP classes are AP English and US History. Both have around 15 people. The rest of our AP classes all have less than 10 people in them.</p>
<p>@appollo1974: Oh okay thanks!</p>
<p>@rob1995: That’s exactly how my school is for some of the AP classes. We struggle to keep AP science classes. This year is the first year they have considered bringing back AP Biology ,so happy about this:) ! We haven’t had AP Chemistry since 2001! Sad I know. Nobody wants to put the effort fourth to take a AP class. As for AP US History and AP English we have excessive amounts of people wanting to take these. Nearly 35 for US and 20 something for English, so now we have to apply for those. My school has around 1100 students.</p>
<p>Wow. AP classes at my school always fill up. This year we have:</p>
<p>2 English Language and Composition AP classes
3 English Literature AP classes
2 AP Biology classes
2 AP Physics classes
1 AP Chemistry class
3 AP Psychology classes
1 US History class
3 World History classes
2 AP Calculus classes
2 or 3 AP American Government classes
1 AP Statistics class (first time my school is offering it this year).</p>
<p>And each class has about 25-30 people in it.</p>
<p>I wish I was at your school!</p>
<p>Hey, I want to self study calculus BC while taking AB so I was wondering if i could use this book to study for both because my school uses this on for AB.</p>
<p>Finney, Ross L., Franklin D. Demana, Bert K. Waits, and Daniel Kennedy. Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic: AP Edition. Boston: Pearson Prentice Hall.</p>
<p>Wow I didn’t realize that there was such a lack of involvement in ap classes! My school is actually two schools but we have one large building. Classes overlap to fit schedules but generally you stay in your enrolled school. For aps I’m pretty sure we have about two classes per school for calc ab, one each for b/c, one each for physics, 2 or 3 each for psych, around 4 each for gov, one each for Econ, one per foreign language combined, one computer science, two each of bio and chem per school, and two each for lit/comp. the only aps we don’t offer are languages besides Spanish French and German, microeconomics, and english language.</p>
<p>I never thought of my school being that big… In all, counting both schools, we have about 1500 students. </p>
<p>I guess we just push more for kids to challenge themselves, take Aps, etc.</p>
<p>We have a generally good school district in comparison to the surrounding districts if you’re looking at academic opportunity and achievement.</p>
<p>My school will be getting 4 APs next year, which is up from zero. We are getting Eng (not sure which), Stat, Calc AB, and Enviro. Three of them will be through am outside provider and the other one will be classroom based. I’m so excited, but I’ll most likely be transferring to a school with 10+ APs.</p>

<p>@evanb1996: Awesome! Now you wont be miserable at your school next year if you have to stay! Which I doubt. And oh yeah the kids from my school went and took that test I think one of them missed 7 and the other missed 3.</p>
<p>@nate42: You mean the discovery day tests? They had another day already? From what I can remember, I thought that there was one in Feb and two in March unless they changed it. 3 isn’t bad, 7 is eh I think. It wasn’t as bad as the girl I see who missed 10.</p>

<p>@evanb1996:I’m pretty sure they changed the date for whatever reason. And oh okay, did you miss any?</p>
<p>I’m pretty worried about D-Day. I know it’s supposed to be simple and straightforward, but that’s the math I do the worst on, as evidenced by my embarrassingly low score of 650 on SAT Math. And 30 questions in 25 minutes? All of my incorrect answers will be due to careless mistakes. :/</p>
<p>@nate42: I only missed one because I blanked out. But, I had enough time to triple check my answers and they all were right. My friend and I both had the exact same answers for all of the ones that she answered. She missed 4. </p>
<p>@Quacoh: You say a 650 is embarrassingly low? A 650 around where I live is very rare. Anything above a 600 in any section is rare where I live. I got a 600 my first time in math, if that makes you feel any better. To prepare, I would say to go through old Algebra 1 and 2 packets that you may have and pick 30 at random and set a timer for 25 minutes. There was only two or three Geometry questions (which weren’t that hard), but you really shouldn’t worry about that unless they change the test each time. Go over some Geometry to be safe.</p>
<p>Double block Geometry (failed Geo last year)
Mandarin 1B (decided take that cuz it was easier then spanish)
Computers
Honors English double block
P.E
World History 1B</p>
<p>Did anyone have a snowday this week? New York is getting dumped with snow, but it’s New York so I expect it.</p>
