I’m an IB student at Plano East. I’m in the top 5% and have always taken honors/AP courses. I don’t understand it when people say that AP’s are extremely difficult and would force you to quit other activities. It’s really not that hard if you simply do your work.

<p>Dearest etceterae, do you know your IQ? My guess is that you’re in the top 2-5% of the population intelligence-wise. But there are kids at your school who may only be in the top 25% of the intelligence scale who are still trying to take a rigorous course of study. Even if a student is very bright but is a slow reader, it is difficult to keep up with AP classes and ECs.</p>
