I have to take 5 UGHHH: AP Micro, AP World, AP Chem, AP Environmental, and AP Calc AB.
I’m currently studying world, micro, and calc but I haven’t opened the review books for chem and environmental yet… ugh…
Have fun with that. I wish my school offered that many APs, let alone to sophomores (there are four, but two of them only have one sophomore in them each (AP Studio Art & AP Calculus BC); there’s also AP Stats and AP Chinese (for native speakers)).
5 ap classes sophomore year? That’s crazy
@shussain2 by the time i graduate, i have taken a collective 24 AP’s… I know it sounds crazy but it’s honestly not too bad!
Any tips on the AP euro exam? I was supposed to start studying last week
I’m taking just two. APUSH and AP Stats. Self studying AP Stats. It’s honestly not bad. Most of it is just learning what program to run on the calculator given a certain problem.
I’m taking AP Enviro as well… i have a low A in the class and my teacher said our grade should reflect on our AP score so I’m praying. Should probably start studying, one month till exams! :-/
Im taking AP Calc BC, AP Comp Sci, and AP Stats. The Calc BC test shouldnt be too bad because my teacher is really good at preparing students for it
No AP’s this year. Next year I’m stepping it up to 3 or 4 (4 or 5, if you count how many AP exams I’ll be taking).
I’m taking 4 this year: Calc AB, Stats, Human Geo, and Environmental. It’s meh. I’m just really not looking forwards to the free responses.
Sorry to change the subject guys, but I’m really curious. What are your favorite songs, bands, genres, etc. ?
My favorite artists are Passion Pit, Shakira, Breakbot, Stromae, and Sam Cooke, but I’d say I like all kinds of music! I came out from underneath my rock and discovered alt-J today, but I found out that they had a concert where I live yesterday…I’m sort of annoyed. To the person who asked if I know German–no, I can say “Die Mannschaft” and “Orangensaft” and that’s about it! I’m v excited because I’m leaving to look at some colleges tomorrow for spring break! We’re going to UNC, WM, Princeton, Yale (not realistic for me but I want to see it), and Duke.
I like alt/pop/indie/whatever-you-wanna-call-it rock (OneRepublic, Bastille, Coldplay, the Fray), although I don’t listen to music much. Instrumental music (particularly scores) is pretty good too.
@Faultystart @topaz1116 How are your lab reports?
@1LuckyBrave in chem? Horrible. We have to write an 8-paragraph essay per lab (we usually do one lab every two weeks, but lab writeups are due the day after the lab) alongside answering analysis questions that aren’t even that analytical. Our labs aren’t very interesting, either, so there’s nothing we can write about in the aforementioned essay.
The only colleges I visit a lot are UC Berkeley and Stanford (I’m actually going to Stanford next weekend for this thing called Splash) since they’re really close by. There are a lot of MUN conferences/expositions/everything at Berkeley, so I go there quite a bit as well. I haven’t really gone visiting at other schools (and last time I went on a legit tour at Stanford was when I was eight; I’m pretty sure I know my way around at least the main part of the campus to a decent degree because I’ve been there so often).
@petitlion my best friend is going to go to Germany for her senior year (she has to go then and get her early leaving certificate from the state of California because our school won’t accept the credits from there). I think she’s actually going to have to apply to colleges here as an international student, since she won’t be enrolled in our high school anymore.
@1LuckyBrave In chemistry? I hate labs, but I enjoy chemistry. We have a prelab due the day we do a lab, and the prelab includes title, purpose, prelab questions, procedure (but we can’t write it out; we have to draw it), safety considerations, materials, reagents, and draw our data table. Then we do our lab and write on our data. Then we have a set of postlab questions (anywhere from 5-10) that we have to somehow figure out the answer to, depite the fact that we don’t know the answer (How do you know what metal, in a voltaic cell, is the anode and which is the cathode? This was our introduction to voltaic cells). Then we write a conclusion. My teacher takes points off for things she never tells us to do 
We’ve done close to 25 labs so far, and we’re supposed to do around 10 more. Oh boy.
Wow. I’ve only done about 5 labs this year!! And our lab reports are so simple; my conclusion only lasts about 3 paragraphs. Maybe that’s why I love doing labs. Plus I like writing so it’s the only good thing about science classes. ;D
Also, my favorite artists to listen to include Lana del Rey, Zella Day, The Neighbourhood, Sir Sly, Lovelife, Arcade Fire, etc. I love alternative music.
@Cornbread1999 yeah, I guess that’s the case with all high schools around the world.
@SallyStephens If you can handle all that workload, it’s good you’re challenging yourself! It’s just at my school taking 5 classes as a sophomore (and 24 courses in total) is unheard of, so I was a little surprised. Good luck to you on your endeavors!
