I begin course registration next week, and if all goes as planned (as in GC and teachers allow me) crosses fingers
I’ll be requesting 4.
AP Capstone Seminar
AP English Language & Composition
AP US History
AP Computer Science
I’m still deciding how many AP’s to take too… This year I am taking AP Euro and 3 other honors classes, all of which I got an A in… I’m thinking about the following for Junior Year:
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
AP Lang
AP Pysc
APUSH
French 3
I could do without APUSH but I’m really worried about taking non-honors US history…
@EmZoWe Don’t take more than you think you can handle. For all you know your friends are biting off more than they can chew.
I’m only taking APUSH and AP Lang next year. Senior year I think I’m taking AP Lit and one or two AP social studies classes, most likely AP Euro and/or AP Psych. I think that will put me in a good position for the level of colleges I want to apply to.
Not sure if I’ll be able to to take all of these (schedule conflicts) BUT I’m gonna sign up for these classes 
AP Calc BC
AP Chem
APUSH
AP Lit
AP Art History
Physics
French 3
I wanna try to do Honors Physics again next year, but when I dropped my counselor said I wouldn’t be able to… 
Maybe if I beg?
@EmZoWe dude don’t sweat it if you’re not taking as many ap’s as your friends. an application with 4 aps will look pretty much the same, in terms of rigor as one with 5 aps. just out of curiosity which one’s did you have in mind?
I’m taking 5 classes but 7 exams bc econ and my ap english takes both the ap literature and the ap language exams.
@EmZoWe I am taking one AP class this year (AP Biology), and am going to take two AP classes next year (AP US History and AP Language). Senior year I’m planning on taking 5 AP classes (AP Literature, AP World History, AP Physics, AP Calc AB, and AP French).
Only worry about the classes you’re taking and are capable of taking and flourishing in. Don’t worry about how many AP classes your friends are taking versus how many you’re taking - they aren’t you. Above all, trust yourself and go with your gut.
Aw, so many AP students. Where are my fellow IB students?
@ak2018 It’s hard being a perfect student especially when you have to balance community service AND club activities. I absolutely cannot wait to graduate.
@averagebean Although it may be challenging, focus on the benefits you have when you are younger. You are not judged for your mistakes, its more learn and less work, and you can do great things. Take your high school experience and enjoy it, because you wont get it again. That’s my view.
ITS MY SWEET SIXTEEN!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! @nyuhopeful44
SNOW DAY!!!
I don’t get this grade inflation thing? Those claiming this don’t know about anyone else’s test scores/school/classes
@apple1893 Actually, in some cases, your are judged for your mistakes and sometimes they will live with you for life. You won’t get this experience ever again, but some people hated it and prefer adulthood.
@nyuhopeful44 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! <:-P <:-P
@ak2018 I do understand, but when you are an adult, you are expected to be “perfect”. When you are a teenager, you are just learning and still get a second chance. Though, I do understand your point.
@nyuhopeful44 Happy 16th!!!
@apple1893 I also understand your point, and as I’ve seen from the judgement of other adults, as you grow older and into your teenage years you are expected to grow up and be more like the perfect “adult”. Some people don’t believe in giving second chances as they believe you should do right the first time. Like how my Chemistry teacher never gives out retakes because she feels we wouldn’t study for the first one and just use it as a indicator as to whether or not it’s a good score. But I really do understand your point, and I am not argument. Just want to state my point of view. In our society, we’re expected to be the perfect “everything” even as little kids as we are given very high expectations by society. I honestly don’t believe in unanimous and universal perfection, the idea of one thing being perfect to all, as perfection is in the eye of the beholder. What may look perfect to you, may be considered wretched to someone else.
Also, I got some of my tests back and I’m honestly kind of mad. I got a 89% on my World History test and a 91% on my Chemistry test. I literally had a 88.3%. One more question right and I would’ve had an A. :(( I got a 91% on my Chemistry test and look over it and saw that I made some pretty stupid mistakes. I incorrectly stated how an anion was formed, stated that H2SO3 was Hydrogen Sulfite instead of sulfurous acid, thought that the element “B” on the periodic table was Barium instead of Boron, and, on the extra credit question, incorrectly balanced an equation because I didn’t check my work. Also I needed to add was a two coefficient and it was an 8th grade Chemistry concept. Lol, my 8th grade Physical Science teacher would be very disappointed. :))
Also, do you guys ever notice times when you just have a lot of tests. They’re not midterms, but it’s like all of your deviously planned all of your tests and quizzes on the same day. I literally have a Chemistry test and HPE I test (On Nutrition) as well as a World History quiz all on Tuesday.
@reidd799 true we don’t know a person’s school or how hard they work but typically a student with a 4.6 GPA who only gets an 1800 SAT score is considered to be in a school that has grade inflation. Because his GPA is in the top 1 percent of US students but SAT score is only in the top 20 percent another form is student gets A’s in his AP classes and 3’s on the test. As typically an A in the class should result in a 5 a B in a 4 and a C or low B is a 3. There are exceptions but this is typically how we determine grade inflation
@nyuhopeful44 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
