Micro Taking Microeconomics as a dual enrollment course, should I take the AP course too(self study) too?

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m a high school junior and I’m taking a microeconomics dual enrollment course at my local community college and was wondering if I should also take the ap exam, or does dual enrollment “make up” for it if I don’t take it? I don’t know whether to take it or not, and AP early bird test sales for in school + self study courses are gonna end soon. What are your thoughts?

Bio How do I study well for AP Bio quizzes and tests?

3 Upvotes

I’m in 9th grade and new to AP classes and I never really managed my time well too, but I do ask for practice questions on chat gpt and other ai and I watch review videos. My grades are kind of bad and I really want to bring it up except all the quizzes and tests are hard and I’m not understanding the topics and even if I study for a long time I’m not able to apply what I learnt into other questions. I stay up really late studying, so how can I study easily, get good grades and make sure I have time for other subjects?

Research AP research help

1 Upvotes

Im in research right now, and although i think i have a decent topic, i just dont really care for the class. It brings me no enjoyment and i think i just mask how much i hate it with laughing with my friends. Its not even like i hate english, because I read for around 1-2 hours every day of a physical book, and i took seminar as well last year. I kinda just took this for the capstone but as the year goes on im starting to realize i just hate doing research. should i just tough it out or what? any suggestions welcome. also it feels like all of the assignments are just busywork, where i could be doing stuff that is actually productive and topics that actually make me want to study for them. sorry for the rant

CSA Opinion: CSA essentially a reading comprehension class

0 Upvotes

I've been taking CSA for about 4 months now, and I've realized something. This class isn't focused on programming, most of the class is just learning java terms and rules, and then you take a test on what is basically an english test disguised as java

Other Made a free planner for juggling multiple APs: assignments, exams and schedules

2 Upvotes

When you have several AP classes, the deadlines and exams scatter across Canvas, Classroom and whatever the teacher says out loud. I couldn't find a planner that held everything and didn't look terrible, so I built one.

It handles assignments, exams (with optional study-progress tracking), recurring tasks, a weekly class schedule with A/B week support, and notes.

It's free, and I'd really like feedback from people actually juggling AP workloads. What would make this useful for you? https://planiverse.org

Question Should I take the AP Precalculus exam?

1 Upvotes

I'm already in the class, but I'm not sure if it's worth taking the exam. Theres only like three days left for me to decide if I'm going to opt out. It's not like the class is hard, but I hear that not a lot of colleges really care about that exam, so should I just not waste my time on it? Or should I just do it anyways? Thanks!

Calc BC Does anyone know a school in the UAE that accepts external applications for AP exams?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to apply for an AP exam at another school.

I've called a lot of schools & they either didn't respond or said they didn't have. The only school that had said they only had it for students of government schools.

(it's calculus BC)

Thanks for answering!

Other ap physics 2 rant

2 Upvotes

My teacher literally can't teach to save their life omg.

All we learn is the derivation of formulas for each chapter and then some experiments that we have to do ourselves. I get that experiments can help with learning but there is absolutely no concept building in my class; which is annoying because you need it to solve problems on your own.

Does anyone have any resources for physics concepts only/ heavily concept focused?

Question ALEKS math placement

Hi, I'm studying for the placement test using the paths. But I'm barely memorizing anything because it constantly just throws me new stuff. I just need a 14 in the test to get the class I need, any tips? Learning on what to focus on and tricks to memorize and recognize equations would be really helpful.

Research AP Capstone worth it or not?

1 Upvotes

I'm currently a junior who took AP Seminar last year and scored a 4. This year I'm enrolled in AP Research but as it gets closer to submitting AP test payment, doubts are forming. Our teacher teaches AP Seminar and AP Research the same period, so research gets much less attention, and we have to guide ourselves. I like my current question and topic but its only for the practice run first semester, not the actual exam. I just essentially want to know if AP Capstone looks good for college applications or if they don't really care, I know they most likely won't take the credit but does it look impressive.

Question Why are AP Students so smart?

54 Upvotes

In AP Lit, everyone in my class, but me has over a 1500 SAT (im at 1190 as a senior)... They avg 10-11/12 on mcqs, I avg like a 7. these kids r literally ivy bound (4.0s, great ec's, great essays)...

In AP stats, I am the "low" for the past 3 assessments. I have a C, 80% of the people in my class have an A.

In AP bio, I kid you not. every time, people ask how did the class do and my teacher replies "everyone did well, except one person"... and guess who that person is every single damn time... I have a C in that course too. omg if I feel confident Ik that's not good cuz like that means I got a high 70...

I have the lowest grade in my class in 3 of the 5 AP courses I'm taking.

weird thing is as soon as I step into any non-elective class that's just non-AP... I have the highest grade...

Question Should I cancel my AP exams

0 Upvotes

What the title says. For more context, I'm a snr and am taking 2 APs. I really don't need these APs for college credit bc I've already taken so many. These don't really have anything to do with my major. If I go to a top school, I won't be needing them anyway. I feel like by the time I graduate, I wouldn't want to come to school just for some AP exams. And I also don't want to drop 200 bucks on exams I don't need. Would it be a bad idea to cancel my exams but stay in the class?

Physics C: E&M Is it possible to learn all of AP Physics C: E & M in 2.5 months?

3 Upvotes

I've got an online course i'm taking rn senior year, and well its basically due by mid janurary for colleges to see in the mid-year report. I basically only finished unit 8 so far. I don't have to understand everything by mid janurary, but I've gotta be done with this stupid online course. Sure I can probably rush through the assignments, but the quizzes may stump me. Overall, would you say its worth it, or even possible, to rush the studying like this, or should I just take my time, get a good grade on the course, and NOT submit it for colleges to see in my mid year report...

(Extra info: I've done AP Calc BC and mech last year so like its not like I'm a total beginner at solving physics problems..)

Question At what point is student kid just too dumb to do well in AP courses

3 Upvotes

As much as this sub likes to say it’s all about having good study habits, most students cannot get good As in AP classes. Plenty of students who go to every class, answer questions every class, go to tutoring, do all the practice problems in the textbook, and so on still do poorly. It’s why the number of students with strong academic credentials to get into public flagships and other selective universities are so rare. Most just don’t have the intelligence for it
