<p>Apollo11,
I took Theater because I needed a credit for the fine arts…plus I really enjoy Theater in general. And as for AP Comparative Government…it was crazy. We basically skimmed one country every two and a half weeks, didn’t even get to Nigeria, and the teacher just sent us a bunch of cram sheets to look over for the actual AP test. It was a very interesting time studying for the test :p</p>
<p>^Good luck!</p>
<p>Check out Ethel Wood’s AP Prep book in Comparitive Government </p>
<p>[Note, this is not the exact title, but it is on Amazon and many CC’ers loved it]</p>
<p>@Apollo11 Thanks!</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld that looks like a super fun schedule, and rigorous as well, so I give it a 10/10</p>
<p>Also, I think Barrons has a set of flashcards for key terms, also on Amazon, which is coincidentally the best place to buy AP books. Like, I went to Barnes and Noble, but their prep books were way more than Amazon’s</p>

<p>Thanks, I like the learning part of school but I wanted to become more excited about coming to school and going to class, so I only signed up for the ones I actually wanted to take other than what’s required of course.</p>
<p>^That’s the only way one should take courses.</p>
<p>8 AP’s is meaningless if no knowledge and/or happiness is gained.</p>
<p>Yes exactly!</p>
<p>@Apollo11 I wish I had known that before I spent almost $30 on a review book for AP Human Geo at Barnes and Noble…I’ll be sure to keep that in mind in the future. Thanks for the tip!</p>
<p>@letmeseetheworld that’s a good philosophy to have while choosing classes. You’ll have a lot of fun next year :)</p>
<p>^ZOMG!!! [Talking to letmeseetheworld]</p>
<p>Stop posting!!!</p>
<p>I keed, of course</p>
<p>I’ve seen way to many tiger kids burn out because their random AP’s made them lose their humanity. It sure has gotten close to me.</p>
<p>@oonawong </p>
<p>Yeah, Im excited to start over and meet my new teachers. I was toooooo quit last year and I want to make more of an effort to get to know them this year.</p>
<p>Oh god, like 4 people are posting for each of my own.</p>
<p>Anyway, I too am excited for next year’s courses. </p>
<p>The teachers respect me and the seniors/alumni consider me one of their own.</p>
<p>Ok so I have two choices for my junior year…</p>
<p>Ap environmental
Honors world history
Intro to Statistics
Tv production </p>
<p>And then…
Either English regular 3 (love the teacher), English honors 3 or ap lit(took ap Lang sophomore year) help deciding please!! Don’t like reading alot</p>
<p>DO AP LIT!!!</p>
<p>Imagine, senior year, no english requirements as you have already done the highest level one, allowing you that precious ‘study hall’. Flash forward to college, having seen your high score and the fact that you have taken the English AP’s faster than most, your college waives your English Gen Ed requirements, allowing you to focus on your major a bit faster.</p>
<p>Sounds nice, eh?</p>
<p>Junior</p>
<p>AP biology
AP US history
Gifted pre-calculus
Honors computer science
Honors Spanish 3
AP English 3
Study hall</p>
<p>9.5</p>
<p>-Honors Computer Science is a class? Why not AP Computer Science, I don’t think there is much of a difference</p>
<p>-Study Hall? I’d like to see an interesting elective or an easy AP instead, one that could increase your GPA, Class Rank and would still look better than Study Hall as a Junior. If you really need one, save it for Senior Year, as senioritis will hit harder than…junioritis?</p>
