<p>@Cr: About 2.5 hours on a good day. Sucks, considering we do 1 chapter every other night with a test at the end of the week.</p>
<p>Yeah we are doing a chapter every other night too, but are not getting a test for another week or two. Though it is horrible, I did not expect to be behind in an AP class this early on, well now I know how I will be spending my weekend…</p>
<p>I’m using the Pageant, test on chapters 6-8 is tomorrow. We’re moving way too fast and learning nothing, it sucks.</p>
<p>My APUSH class uses the AMSCO book. Haven’t had a test yet but I’m already falling behind on readings… I need to get myself motivated.</p>
<p>Our 1st APUSH test was last Wednesday, I think, and it was on chapters 2-4.
The one tomorrow is on 5-6.</p>
<p>My 88 was the highest grade in class one the first one, followed by a couple more mid-low 80’s, some 70’s and some fails. My teacher was genuinely surprised that someone almost got an A on the first test and that the class overall did well; she confirmed that most of the kids last year didn’t get a B or higher on the first test.</p>
<p>I’m worried about the FRQ tomorrow, though. It’s based off of chapters 2-6. I’m fine with the MCs, but this will be the first history essay I’ve ever written (I haven’t taken many history classes), and my teacher gave us a list of 8 prompts, 2 of which she’s offering us and we pick 1. They’re so general >_<. Tonight is going to be an epic cram session.</p>
<p>@Artsy: Same here. Everything is piling up. I may be getting my first C/B- on a chemistry test ever because I didn’t really put effort into studying for it; admittedly, I was a little too cocky because I didn’t study last year and got 95-100s on most of the tests. Then tomorrow I have APUSH, a vocab quiz, and then a computer repair test.</p>
<p>To top it off, comp. repair isn’t the easy study hall/elective I thought it would be, but that’s okay because the material’s cool.</p>
<p>That feeling when you realize that you aren’t taking APUSH and everbody else is talking about it.</p>
<p>I got a D on my math quiz… Math is my best subject AND we were just doing a review from geometry! *** I was sooooo upset. ^oh and I’m not taking APUSH either. Go IB History!</p>
<p>I can’t stand history… I’m having a hard time in American Studies II. AP U.S. History is one of the hardest AP courses in my school, it’s a death wish. Not so much the concepts that’s challenging about it, it’s the analyzing, conclusions and the tests the APUSH teacher distributes. </p>
<p>Anyone taking AP Chemistry? If you are, what chapter are you on? I feel like we’re going really slow.</p>
<p>@Fantasy: We’re still reviewing stuff from honors.</p>
<p>Grade for our first progress report were posted today:
- Accelerated Math III: 100
- Journalism: 100
- AP Chemistry: 84
- AP Language: 100
- AP U.S. History: 94
- Psychology: 96
- Latin IV: 100</p>
<p>I’m just worried about my AP Chemistry grade. Trying my hardest in that class.</p>
<p>lldm21, We’re reviewing the honors chem curriculum too…</p>
<p>SirSamAlot, I worried too, here are my grades so far:</p>
<p>~ American Studies II - 88
~ AP Biology 1 - 96
~ AP Chemistry 1 INT - 82
~ Latin 1 - 97</p>
<p>We ate on ch 3 which is review for AP Chem</p>
<p>Our AP Chem class is on Chapter 4. We just took the Chapters 1-3 test.</p>
<p>Only on CC do we post our grades.</p>
<p>Grades:
Physics B AP - 82
USH - 84
mandarin 3 H - 92
Calc AB - 93
British Lit 2 - 99
Christian Ethics - 95</p>
<p>I messed up one problem on a physics test and got a crap grade. ■■■. We’ve also had only one USH quiz and my teacher is about 500 yrs old.</p>
<p>Only on CC do I feel the need to justify some of my grades to strangers.</p>
<p>Might as well… :P</p>
<p>Honors Precalc - B (79% on the chapter one test :/)
AP English Lang & Comp - A+
AP Physics B - B- (D on our Kinematics exam…)
AP Psychology - A+
APUSH - A+</p>
<p>AP English and AP Psychology are really easy. APUSH is difficult, but an easy class because our grades are ridiculously inflated due to being given extra credit simply for doing your work on time. Honors Precalc is surprisingly easy so far, though the first test was hard for most people, even if you knew the material. AP Physics is by far my toughest class, some of the concepts are really difficult and most of the class bombed our exam.</p>
<p>Are any other juniors finding school to be more sleep-depriving than usual?
I’ve been getting around 4 hours of sleep every night for the last couple weeks because of ECs and my job and so when I finally got the time to nap for 4 hours today it felt AMAZING. <3</p>
<p>Anyways, the first half of this term is over, and my grades are out.
AP Stats: 95 (not sure how I still have an A in that class LOLOL. I fail at stats)
AP Comp Sci: 100
Spanish III Honors: 99
AP English Language: 92
AP US History: 96
Theology: 98</p>
<p>And also, a word of advice, don’t take AP online classes unless you’re masochistic. Most likely, it’s possible to self-study AP exams and get 5’s, and it’s possible to take easy AP classes at your school and get A’s without having to do much work. I got a grand total of 5 assignments during the first half of the term in USHAP, and 10 in AP English lang, but in half of a term for my online AP stats class, I have to finish 43 assignments. xD</p>
<p>Online classes are huge time munchers. I almost never spend more than 30 minutes each night doing work for my classes at school, but I have 4+ hours of work to finish each night for my online classes. It’s madness. |D</p>
<p>I’m on prom committee this year. woohooo~<3</p>
<p>APUSH - 93 (it would be a 95 if I’d realized there were two more questions on a homework assignment … -__-)
AP Lang & Comp - Dunno. She doesn’t have grades online yet. Probably ~95.
Computer Repair - 100. But I have a test tomorrow, so who knows.
AP Chemistry - 100 in the computer, probably ~80 irl due to bombing my first test.</p>
<p>Office Apps - 100
PreCalc - Grades aren’t up, and we’ve only gotten three homework assignments…
Chorus - 100</p>
<p>@Gom: I’m sleep deprived only because I’m lazy. I feel like I’m getting much less work overall than I did last year, but that may also be because my classes are actually interesting this year, so doing the work doesn’t make me want to drop out of school.</p>
<p>I don’t know how you guys have grades yet. I’ve had a few tests and quizzes, but my quarter grades aren’t released for another six weeks or so. I could provide estimates, but they wouldn’t be too useful. I’m doing very well in all of my classes but not amazingly in APUSH. Hopefully matters improve. I’d say my most difficult class content-wise is AP Latin, but my teacher is nice, so I think I’ll be able to maintain an A.</p>
<p>Well for some classes I have only a few assignments but for AP Chem I’ve had 2 tests, 10 Quizes, and 4 Labs. All depends</p>
<p>AP Calc AB - 95%
CP Spanish IV - 100% (no tests)
AP Chem - 90%
Law Honors - 80% (8 out of 10 on notes)
English III Honors - 93%
APUSH - 94% (Going to drop we just had a FRQ - Highest score last year was a 65%)</p>
<p>Also I’ve not been getting 'home’work. I do most of it during lunch and I got a study hall to finish the rest</p>
<p>StudiousMaximus: You probably started school later than us. I’ve already been in school for awhile.</p>
