Is My Schedule Too Much?

The AB subscore of the BC test is used by some universities for placement purposes, in that they allow you to use either your BC score or your AB subscore (as if you got that score on the AB test).</p>

<p>For example, suppose you get a 2 on the BC test, but an AB subscore of 5 (not sure if this is possible, but use this as an example). Some universities may allow you to place into math courses as if you scored a 5 on the AB test, even though a 2 on the BC test otherwise gives you no placement into more advanced math courses.

</p>

<p>So what if you got a 2 on the AB subscore part but a 5 on the BC part. Do you still get the credit for both semesters since you got a 5 on the BC part?</p>

that seems like a tough schedule to me. AP bio is definitely not easy. your school might be different though. good luck!

<p>I heard that AP Biology requires a lot of memorization. The teacher at my school has a good pass rate, although I heard she spends part of the class talking about politics where it applies. How it applies I have no idea. I love Biology so hopefully this will have either a good affect or no effect on my grade in the class and my potential score on the AP exam.</p>

<p>My schedule does seem tough, so I might either take APES online or as a self-study. I’m leaning towards self-study since it’s an easy and interesting topic and it would complement my AP Biology class since I heard both go hand in hand. It would also cut down on the assignments I would have to complete if I took it online. Plus I could focus on just my AP Calculus AB course online. So APES is not set in stone.</p>

<p>Any suggestions on whether I should self-study APES or take it online at FLVS?</p>
