<p>thank you</p>
<p>@Indianfire101 Not a problem.</p>
<p>Harsh. Lol. :)) >:D< </p>
<p>Well, I’m seeing a lot of edited comments. Hmm…</p>
<p>@smrtical @alzhao Hey I have perfect pitch too! I’m the pitch pipe for our choir when people can’t find one and we aren’t by a piano lol. But if the chunk of the test are things like V-I cadence at the end, I definitely feel more confident in pursuing an ap self study add-on to my regular course (I was already aware of how things like this work). Thanks for the aid in my decision!</p>
<p>If you noticed a recent uptick in post quality on CC, you wouldn’t be mistaken; I’ve been gone for the last week or so.</p>
<p>Anyway, got my AP Scores back and I got AP Scholar w/Distinction, so that’s nice. Next year it seems very likely that I’ll get National AP Scholar and State AP Scholar, which is good since I’ll have it in time for college.</p>
<p>As for you guys talking about music/perfect pitch, I don’t have much musical talent, but enough to know that all of you guys are super-human eugenics projects (JK).</p>
<p>Anyway, as for my schedule, I plan on doing the following next year:</p>
<p>AP US History
AP Art History
AP World History
AP Psychology
AP English Language
AP Biology
AP Calc BC
Spanish 4
AP/UConn Environmental Science</p>
<p>That leaves me with 2 free periods in school (AP Art History, AP World History and AP Psychology are online) and I’m all out of APs to take at my school except AP Chem (Teacher is really bad), AP Physics I and II (Took B last year), AP English Lit (I’ll try to take the class, but my school wants me to take it as a 12th grader), AP Comp Sci and AP Stats (The last two are the most likely ones I’ll take). I might also want to take AP US Government and/or AP Music Theory online. Also, I plan on doing Linear Algebra at a local CC first semester and second semester, do Multivariable Calculus or Differential Equations.</p>
<p>I also plan on doing the US Senate Page program in the winter. </p>
<p>@Apollo11 I hope you have a good ear/voice for music, otherwise you’re screwed for AP Music Theory. Since you’re such a history buff, I’d say you should take AP US Government instead. </p>
<p>Junior Year Schedule:
AP Chemistry
AP Lit
AP US History
AP US Government
AP Stat
Honors English 11 (Required, even though I’m taking an AP English)
AP Physics C (both mech and electricity/magnetism)
Honors Chinese
Probably self-studying AP Human Geography
Linear Algebra at a local college
<em>edit: I forgot orchestra</em></p>
<p>@Smrtical </p>
<p>99% chance I’m doing AP US Gov + AP Stats; Don’t have an amazing voice</p>

Took AP HuGeo this year and got a 5. I recommend reading through Barrons a couple of times and using a lot of test taking strats. For example, if you look at the released FRQs from this year, the first question is a really random question. It isn’t covered too much in the class, but if you pick up on the context clues in the question, you can easily pick up a few points. 27% of test takers got 0 points on it, and that’s because they don’t have the strategies to get points on it (It’s mostly freshmen). In fact, test taking strats really let you do well on the test, since the test is curved so that the freshman can do well)</p>
<p>@Apollo11
Thanks for the advice! I heard it was the easiest AP in general and thought why not haha. </p>
<p>@tobukoro </p>
<p>I found AP Psych to be pretty easy too. It’s easy since the curve will help you a lot if you know how to take tests well and the questions are really straightforward (You’ll be asked to recall some vocab throughout the MC on both)</p>
<p>@tobukoro Yes, AP HG is probably the easiest one. I got a 1 only because I didn’t give a crap (and didn’t answer the free response), but the AP test was very easy. </p>
<p>@Smrtical </p>
<p>You didn’t answer the Free Response? I shouldn’t be talking, I got 0 points on the AP Psych FRQ</p>
<p>@Apollo11 You included AP Psychology in your schedule for next year. Was that just a mistake? </p>
<p>Nope, I self-studied it this year, but only spent like 1 day studying for it, @Smrtical. However, I liked it a lot and think that I can get a 4+ on it next year, as compared to my 3, so that means I’d only need 3 more APs for the National AP Scholar award</p>
<p>@Apollo11 I see. That’s cool. I’m hoping to get the National AP Scholar award. Hopefully I’ll get mostly 5s next year. </p>
<p>I’m currently at 6 for State AP Scholar and 4 for National AP Scholar, and I’m not too worried for either. State AP In CT was won with 13 in the only case that I could find (There is shockingly little information about that). According to College Board, I’d then be one of about 3 people in our graduating class to have State AP Scholar when applying to colleges.</p>
<p>@Apollo11 I don’t know what you mean by your first sentence or your last. </p>
<p>@Smrtical
Whoops! I’ll explain. I have 6 AP tests that count for the State AP Scholar award, which is awarded to the male and female student with the most APs tests with a score of a 3 or higher in every state, and 4 that count for National AP Scholar, which is given to students with 8 AP exams with 4s or higher and an average score of a 4. </p>
<p>As for the second part, College Board releases the number of people in each grade who get every award each year. Based on the last few years of information, it ranges from 1-7 Juniors who win State AP Scholar each year, out of the ~110 who usually win (Ties exist, though the tie breaker is the average score of the student) and the several hundred thousand ap test takers. That would mean I’d be one of the average 3 people to be applying to college with the award in the applicant class of 2016 </p>
<p>@Apollo11 Okay, I just didn’t understand you meant AP tests on the first one. As for the other, I thought only one make and female could get the State AP Scholar award. </p>
