Our requirements can be a little weird. You can take classes in lieu of others, and there are ways around certain things. But, in general, these are the requirements:

5 English credits - Communication Skills, English I-IV

4 Math credits - Math I-III + fourth math

3 science credits - Earth science, biology, and a physical science.

4 SS credits - World History, American History I & II, and Civics and Economics.

1 Health and PE credit

12 electives, can be academic.

2 credits of a foreign language is strongly recommended.

@gracecelia Yes - I’m from California. Really hoping to go to a UC :stuck_out_tongue:

Our school requirements are really similar to @awesomepolyglot :

-4 years of English
-2 years of Math
-2 years of Science (1 in Biological, 1 in Physical (anything else))
-3 years of Social Studies
-1 year of Fine Arts OR 1 year of Language
-2 years of PE
-1 Semester of Health
-75 elective credits, or 7.5 year long courses, elective credits being anything other than the very requirements.

I’m currently a freshman and I’ve been working on my entire high school curriculum. My school requires 4 years of math, 4 years of English, 3 years of science, 3 years of history, 2 years of electives, 3 years of foreign language, a health/PE course. Please let me know what you think of my tentative curriculum; I want to see what you think. I’m looking to go to medical school, so please let me know if that focus is evident.

I don’t really know my school’s requirements by heart, but I do know that they prevent me from taking more than 1 science AP a year, which really sucks

2767

I took a practice MC APHG test and got 68 right so I could only get 44% of the points on the FRQ part and get a 4

2768

2771

@collegeyouth I’m taking the bio say in June too
Are you going to take the molecular or ecological part of the test?

2772

I’m taking the bio exam after AP bio next year.

2773

Have you guys ever had trouble with getting a teacher to like you? I haven’t but seeing a thread on it made me wonder

2774

I had a teacher all through middleschool that hated me @adiacs

:frowning:

2775

@adiacs, I do not care if a teacher does not like me. My health and PE teacher this year gave me a 85 on CPR, but gave this other girl who gave compressions at the rate of 6361891848291 mph a 100. This same girl ate my friend’s chapstick. Hmm

2776

I haven’t had trouble with a teacher getting to like me, but some don’t always take me seriously when we first meet. Thankfully, that usually changes.

2777

Okay, I just looked at the AP Biology released AP exam. What the f

2778

Good luck to the AP people on this thread! Which tests are represented? I know AP Human Geography is, and I’m fairly sure APUSH is as well.
