<p>English languge*</p>
<p>I know I’m “self-studying” AP Calc AB since my IB Math SL Yr. 2 class is Calculus 1. I think I’ll also do AP Lit with my IB English HL class. I’m taking IB History of the Americas, but I’m not sure whether I should “self-study” APUSH with it because isn’t the test changing for next year? I’m pretty decent at history, but I’m just honestly not sure on it…
And just so you know I’m doing the IB diploma. Also, when I’m saying self-study in quotes, I don’t mean full-out self-studying; I’ll just use my knowledge from my IB classes and just learn a few extra things for the AP tests like the format and stuff.</p>
<p>I wish I could do the IB diploma, and at one point I was really close to converting my high school to an IB school, but then I realized that the time, costs and returns weren’t worth it.</p>
<p>But I’ll be damned if I don’t think calling myself an International Baccalaureate isn’t a true feat.</p>
<p>@Apollo11 I feel like the main difference between an IB middle school and a regular middle school is that there were a lot more projects and writing assignments that were aimed at preparing us for the rest of the MYP in high school and the DP. A lot of it was learning to analyze and think critically (which is also how it differs from AP, or so they say). All I know for sure is that while I went to a special IB middle school as everyone in my neighborhood went to our home school, I was doing homework and then barely had any. I got exposed to the large amounts of homework earlier than others lol.</p>
<p>And @Animefan1998 are you not going to self study AP Bio or AP Chem? So far I want to self study AP Lit and APUSH, I would’ve done AP Psych if I’d chosen it as my elective. Random question, which SATIIs are you going to take?</p>
<p>How bad of an idea is it to double up on Chem AP and Bio AP?</p>
<p>@likethis That depends on the teacher, AP Bio is mostly memorizing, it is more like a history AP, while AP chem has a lot more applied mathematics and requires more work in general. </p>
<p>@Slytherclaw12 Not sure where you got AP Chem from. I didn’t even mention my IB Biology class for the next 2 years. I’m honestly not sure if I’ll take the AP Bio test because I would have to wait until Senior year unless I can try to self-study the stuff my class didn’t get to yet, but that would be too much considering the diploma. And for the SAT II’s, idk I think Math II for sure and maybe Bio and Lit? </p>
<p>@Animefan1998 oh I just said AP Chem because I’m taking SL Chem, I just thought about it.</p>
<p>@Woandering yeah in reality if I tried to self study all of those I would die but I know for sure I’m at least self studying psych… And maybe just leaving the others for senior year. Just kinda panicking since we only have two more years and I haven’t even self studied any APs… </p>
<p>@Woandering yeah…if only I didn’t have to do all these extracurriculars then u would have time but extracurriculars are life man </p>
<p>@jumpingstar ikr I wish I knew to self study this year. </p>
<p>@Woandering yeah… soooo would’ve studied at least one AP this year, ughhh next year is gonna suck since apparently junior year is always the worst?? </p>
<p>@jumpingstar Exactly. And I do feel it’s going to be the worse. I’m choosing the easiest in school requirements, like the easiest theology classes, easiest english classes (then self study ap lang), so that self studying will be a little easier. </p>
<p>My Junior Year Schedule:
Spanish IV
AP Statistics
APUSH
Accelerated Math 3
STEM Physics
English (not even sorry)
AP Psychology</p>
<p>Senior Year (Projected)
AP Human Geography
AP Government & Regular Econ (mandatory)
AP Calc (BC?)
AP Lit?
Debate II
Anatomy (or APES if no AP Lit)
Business Law or some other supplement</p>
<p>What’s accelerated Math III?</p>
<p>Have you guys gotten your summer reading for English next year? These aren’t required to read, but since I’m a diploma candidate, I think I’ll take my chances over the summer:
The Glass Castle
Their Eyes Were Watching God
Death and the Maiden
To Live
Field’s Child
Fear and Trembling</p>
<p>@animefan1998 </p>
<p>We have recommendations for Uni English I and Western Philosophy. </p>
<p>The Prince–Machiavelli
The Praise of Folly–Erasmus
A Clockwork Orange</p>
<p>We’ve also got to read “The Devil and the Good Lord” by Jean-Paul Sartre. </p>
<p>It’s basically advanced pre-calc Apollo, its a precursor to AP Calc. </p>
<p>I have no summer reading! Just some Statistics worksheets.</p>
<p>^Lucky. </p>
