<p>We can’t opt out, I got a 95-100 or something on my Precalc, a 100 on Modern Civ, a 99 in Latin II, a 98 in speech (required class) a 95 in Chemistry (the highest grade and 1 of 2 As, made me so happy) and I’m waiting on English since i took it today!</p>
<p>I’m ready to find out what my schedule is going to be</p>
<p>Nope…such a small school they have to get all the course selection forms back before they know which classes form…but I’m hoping for this:</p>
<p>Latin III
Physics (may or may not self study the ap exam)
Psychology(definitely self study the Ap)
Ap gov and Econ
Ap calc
Ap chem
Ap Lang…we don’t do honors but this is the hardest schedule my school has seen in probably decades</p>
<p>Oh… that doesn’t sound like fun. Those classes look pretty difficult. I am also making history in my school. I am taking the most AP’s ever by a Junior (4). I know it’s not a lot but we offer so few that it is unheard of. The previous record was 2.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don’t really know about my schedule, either. Even though I signed up for 5 AP classes next year, it’s quite possible I might not be able to take them all next year. My school is small, <750 people, so there’s generally only one period with any given AP class. For example, if both AP Calc and AP English are for first period, I would only be able to take one. </p>
<p>It’s kind of annoying, but I guess it really balances out with smaller class sizes. This year, my AP World History class only had 6 people. That really gave was extremely helpful because the teacher could interact with us as individuals, instead of teaching a whole class of 20+ people as a group. My AP Calc class next year has a projected total of 4 people, so if that happens it would be awesome.</p>
<p>@rob: Which ones did you sign up for? That would be awesome only having 6 kids in an AP class. My school is quite the opposite. We have to have at least 15 students in an AP class or it will be dropped…</p>
<p>I actually have to go talk to my guidance counselor about switching some of my classes. Dropping Honors Physics and Honors Psychology online to take two more AP’s online. Hope I don’t have to go to the school board again…</p>
<p>Officially finished with Sophomore year as of 4 hours ago! I also learned my semester grades before I left, so I have no worries at the moment. Summer is going to be rather fantastic.</p>
<p>I am taking the SAT next Saturday. What do you guys think I should do this week to prepare? I have the Official SAT review book from the College Board and I plan on studying it for 3+ hours everyday for the next week. Will that be sufficient?</p>
<p>@nate42: Calculus AB, US History, Biology, Computer Science A, and English Language. :)</p>
<p>We need to have at least 5 people for an AP class to happen - but they’re really pushing for an exception for Calculus. Our school isn’t really academically strong, so it’s hard to get people to sign up for AP classes. Out of our graduating class of about 150, I’d say only 10% takes any AP class. </p>
<p>The semi-good thing is, though, is that if an AP class is not offered, or there are schedule conflicts, you can take the course online (during school-hours, as an actual class). I really would not want to take another one online (Comp Sci has to be taken online since no one teaches the class here), but I guess it’s better than no AP class at all.</p>
<p>Also, I haven’t taken the SAT yet, but when it came to the AP test/ACT, I found that really doing a bunch of practice tests works best for me. I’ll do a practice test, and then make sure to review the ones that I get wrong. I keep repeating that until I find myself with a score I’m happy with.</p>
<p>@catchtwentythree: 1900+ , it will be my first time taking it.</p>
<p>@rob: Nice! It would be great only having 5 kids in a class. We can take online AP’s as well. I am taking two next year (Psychology and Human Geography). We also take these during school. There is a part of the library where online students bring their laptop to do their AP classes. Even with my school having 1000+ students we only offer 5, face-to-face AP’s. </p>
<p>Hey guys!
It’s been a really long time since I’ve checked in here. I’m glad to report that it’s been a productive last few months with lots of exciting opportunities coming up on the horizon.
I’m really looking forward to this summer though.</p>
<p>I didn’t catch up with the thread but my schedule for next year is:</p>
<p>AP Bio (2 semesters), AP English Lit (2 semesters), Multivariable Calc (1 semester), Linear Algebra (1 semester), Grade 12 Physics/ Physics C ~ (2 Semesters), AP World ( 2 semesters). </p>
<p>I took my SAT1 with no real studying besides DH 1 and 2 this May and got a 2190 (international version) which I think bodes well for the future (when I’ll likely actually study). The SAT’s mostly a test of mental fortitude, IMO. If I had managed to stay fresh until the end, I think I could’ve done much better. Oh well.</p>
<p>How has everyone’s school year gone? School for me will end on June 18th, which leaves me a few days for R and R before starting work.</p>
<p>My course load next year consists of AP Chem, AP Calc BC, AP Euro, AP English Lang, Pre-AP Spanish, and Wind Ensemble. Should I add AP Gov or would that be overkill?</p>
<p>Additionally, what are you guys doing over the summer? I’m studying for SATs, taking a few online classes, and volunteering.</p>
<p>This summer I have volleyball tournaments for my club team, tryouts for my school team, volunteering, going to a few parties and probably going out of state for a few weeks.</p>
