<p>" had anyone receive all A’s from these hectic schedules. And had anyone manage receive all 5’s. I know you people on this thread are motivated for a challenge and to make your transcript look good, but you would all become really stressed. if anyone somehow manage to live stress-free with these schedules, please share your advices on how you manage this type of schedule. "</p>
<p>AP exams are a joke: if you study a little bit for like 2 hours a day, 5 days before the exam, you’ll get at least a 4. If you extend that to 2 hours a day, for 14-15 days before the exam, you’re almost guaranteed a 5 (except maybe in Physics C and Chemistry). That’s if your teacher is terrible.</p>
<p>Most AP classes aren’t that hard - HW is only worth 10% or so, so if you actually study for the tests, you should be able to get all A’s.
Junior year I took 6 AP classes, got all As, and took 7 AP exams -5 5s, 2 4s. I was pretty disappointed with my 4s, but like I said, I only studied like 10 hours TOTAL for the two 4s.
Senior year, I took 7 AP classes, got all As, and took 10 AP exams. I’m thinking I will get at least 8 5s. </p>
<p>AP exams really aren’t as hard as everyone them up to be.</p>
<p>I agree with t-san. I used to think they were so hard and stuff but then I realized I got almost no hw, just reading, and this year I self-taught half of my 6 APs and they were not as hard as I made them out to be when I was a sophomore.</p>
<p>APs are not hard, I haven’t had much experience taking AP courses (most of the APs that I have taken have either been self-studied, or taking the honors course in the same subject) but as for the tests, the tests themselves aren’t that hard, and the curves make them even easier. It also depends which AP tests you take, I haven’t taken a foreign language test, so I don’t know if those are hard, but all that I have taken have been easy for the most part.</p>

<p>ummm to answer the question about getting all As in AP classes… in my school, there is absolutely no grade inflation and the teachers give so much work that it’s impossible to get A’s in every subject (except for the val and sal). generally i think if you do have all A’s in ur classes and ur in APs, u have crazy grade inflation because i have seen people with 115 as their GPA and they’re like number 50 out of 100.</p>
<p>getting A’s in all AP’s at my high school is definitely possible (no grade inflation…however, there is an occasional bonus point or two on a test, but I think that hardly counts as “inflation”) </p>
<p>you just need to give up your life…like me =P</p>
<p>t-san- people don’t want to study 2 hours a day for 5 days, thats why they do bad. Everyone cares if they fail, but most people don’t care enough to try and pass. Also, at my school at least, idiots manage to get into AP classes. People that don’t know how to think and can only regurgitate from their textbooks</p>

<p>im taking all aps next year (5). im so used to the ap workload that it feels normal. besides, 3 of the teachers that are teaching ap next year were the same teachers that i had before and theyre always chill. my workload for all these classes is prob. one hour each day. and an hour of workload during my junior year was consider a lot of work (3 aps and one honors)…</p>
<p>You get really good at knowing exactly how much homework you have to do for each class in order to still get an A. In my AP calc BC class, I did 75% of the problems assigned for homework (our teacher gave us points based on how much we did.) I knew I would ace all of the tests/quizes (because Calc and Physics are the few classes that I am really good at without trying). since homework was only 10% of the grade, I was still able to get 99% in the class without trying. </p>
<p>Just do big point assignments (projects, papers) and skim readings. But if you don’t think you can do well on tests, you have to put a little more effort in.</p>
