<p>Hey guys it sounds like you all have a lot more variety than I do. If you want to go the IB diploma route there’s only a few options, and diploma obviously looks better for college. </p>
<p>Interesting discussion on pe. What is your school/state/county requirements? </p>
<p>I have to take it through sophomore year every other day for 90 minutes, I wish we could get out of it if we did sports…</p>
<p>@jerevedeparis I have to take P.E. every other day sophomore year for 80 min 
it sucks though.</p>
<p>Wow, all of you guys have schedules completely packed with APs in Junior and Senior year. I think the most number of APs i can take on junior year is 4, and same with senior. The magnet school I attend forces us to choose “magnet electives” (which are very in depth, vigorous courses), but they don’t have the AP label. In addition these magnet electives aren’t so general as AP Physics, but instead focus very thoroughly on a certain aspect, e.g. Thermodynamics, Quantum Physics, etc. so it doesn’t do the greatest job of preparing me for AP exams. P: I guess that leaves me to self-studying. Have any of you guys self-studied a certain subject for the AP exam? How did you go about doing it, and how successful were you? :o</p>
<p>Oh and have you guys taken courses over the summer? How long was the session and how well do you think they taught the material?</p>
<p>good Q, upinflight. How are the summer AP courses?</p>
<p>hey guys! I was wondering if you could help me with something?</p>
<p>I am currently a rising sophomore(obviosely!) and I have been homeschooled from 2nd to 9th. I am moving to a new home over the summer and am going to be starting public school this coming year. I will not be moving for a few weeks so I will not be an OFFICIAL resident of the school district for a few weeks yet.MY question is, how do you think the school will place me in the correct classes? Will it be too late to take AP tests? I am not coming from a high school so I don’t know how they will correctly place me.I am going to call the district but I was wondering what you guys think.</p>
<p>Maybe they’ll have you take prereq tests? I’m not sure how homeschooling works, but I’d think they’d just stick you in the classes that come after the classes you’ve already finished. Good luck :)</p>
<p>They might make you take a placement test but if you have taken standardized:D test you might not have to. Also it will not be to late to take ap test they register for that towards the end of the year 
good luck!</p>
<p>Where do most of the 2014 cc users see themselves in their grade? Top of their grade?</p>
<p>Another complaint against my school district: I would take summer courses, but I’ve only recently found out that due to the summer school being initially setup for remedial classes/failing students, if one were to take a summer course, it would be negative toward his or her weighted GPA, and class rank.</p>
<p>@ATPmolecule–I do see myself at the top of my grade. Not valedictorian by any means, but definitely in the top 20, which is around top 4%.</p>
<p>@ATPmolecule: I’m currently the valedictorian of my class of 333.</p>
<p>@ATPmolecule: I go to a small private of around 100 people per class, and we don’t rank, but I’m pretty sure I’m top 5.</p>
<p>Ok, so some of the smarter people, so my whole entire grade at my school is about 19 people strong!</p>
<p>@anaychi, Couldn’t you do online classes?</p>
<p>I’m probably one of the smarter people, but with close to 800 kids, it’s hard to stand out as really smart.</p>
<p>@Chapen11 I would, but I’m both too lazy to do so, and I feel as if I’d have a better learning experience in a live classroom, compared to the current selection of online education companies</p>
<p>@atpmolecule top of my class, yes, but tied with 3 or 4 others. Maybe just below one kid in my grade (the super freak genius kid that makes your 98th percentile IQ look like his divided by 3-you know, that one)
I think anyone on COLLEGE confidential as sophomores are bound to be pretty enthusiastic and motivated, otherwise you wouldn’t be here, so the data is quite skewed.</p>
<p>totally agree julieannab</p>
<p>I don’t think my school ranks, so I have no clue statistically. Probably top 10% we have a bunch of undercover geniuses at my school, who would’ve thought?..</p>
<p>@ATPmolecule: I’m within the top 6% of my class, barely. 27th out of 457 students. Hopefully next year I’ll move into the top 15. Silly B+ in Geometry. So much regret.</p>
<p>You must of been goofing around to get a B in geometry? I had to literally teach half of that class to my class because we had a crappy sub for half the year, and no one could understand it but me lol.</p>
