How are APs going for everyone

School doesnt start back til Monday for me but I successfully completed my AP Biology stats worksheets/tutorial summer work 6 days before it was due! I will have AP Bio all year but AP US Gov. is only a semester long class that will start in February.

You don't have an AP all year? Why not?

[caf.]

generally AP Gov and AP Econ are paired, as they’re both semester-long 4th year courses. that said, i didn’t pile them on this year since i already have four on my plate!

apush isnt too bad yet. AP stat is kicking my butt just because all the terms were learning at the moment are so similar to each other its hard to tell the difference. also, explaining your answer is tricky, everything is subjective! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AP Bio is really hard :c, anyone got any tips?

honestly i thought the ap bio class helped me more on the sat subject test for bio LOL
the class itself is just a lot of dense info shoved at you + memorization

the test wasnt too bad! i suck (LIKE ACTUALLY SUCK) at science but i still got a 4 haha (i guessed on literally half of it)
it felt like a reading comprehension test for science tbh (idk how else to describe it)
LOL the class didnt really help(?) or feel geared for the test (but this is just my personal experience).
id say just know basic knowledge/concepts + have common sense for the test


also ap psych was a breeze i had like 40 minutes of spare time when i finished the mc portion (i got a 5 on it) +
frq section was rlly easy as well.

i'd suggest you just get an ap prep book like barron's,etc. ( PREP BOOKS ARE HONESTLY MORE HELPFUL THAN THE
CLASS LOL i just skimmed thru them like 2 days before my tests) and read thru tht for any ap classes you do take

I took AP Lang and Comp last year, but sadly i did not pass the test due to distractions from our proctor (she kept getting up and everyone testing thought she had a bladder issue, but it turns out that something had happened at our school, but it turned out amazing and no one was hurt) and stress. This year im taking AP Lit and im feeling much more confident even a week into school.

You don't have an AP all year? Why not?

at my school some ap classes are year long and others just arnt I guess because they dont have as much content. AP US Gov, AP Human Geo, and AP Stats are all just one semester. AP Calc is listed as a seconds semester class because its paired with an honours calc class first semester so if you decide you want to drop it you can before the AP commitment part counts.
