AP Exams?

[AdioSkater]

Is anyone on here taking any AP Exams here in the next few weeks?

I am going to be taking English Language and US history? Anyone taken these yet?


What are other people taking?

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I'm taking English Language, too, and Psychology.
I took World History last year. I was SERIOUSLY unprepared and I got a 2.

But on the practice tests for English and Psych I've been getting 5's and 4's, so I'm not really worried.

 

[Columba]

US Gov

 

[AdioSkater]

I took AP Euro last year and had a horrible teacher that was more focused on fun rather than teaching. I got a 3 though.

Next year, for my senior year I am going to be taking 5 AP classes. Studying for those exams will be insane.

US History this year and I contemplated taking the Biology one last year.

Not tooo worried about it as I'll be having some study sessions with my teacher beforehand.

 

[hidmickey:myantidrug]

Lang. and History. History I am very concerned about, but I know the stuff - it's just a matter of bringing it all back to memory. Lang, on the other hand, we're grossly unprepared for so that test should be interesting, if nothing else.

A little countdown for ya:
US History: 19 days
English Language: 24 days

Like someone else said, next year is going to be hell around this time of year, as I'm also taking 5. People won't want to be talking to me a year from now...

 

[AdioSkater]

Yeah, I will be taking these AP classes next year

AP Biology
AP Statistics
AP Government
AP Economics
AP English Literature

Sounds a bit like suicide to me, but I will see how things turn out.

Anyone taken any of these exams before, or in the class now?

Took AP Biology last year. It was fun, yet really hard. I'm also taking AP Stats next year and AP English Lit. My school doesn't offer a ton of AP courses.

 

[AdioSkater]

I am pretty much taking every ap class that this school offers.

 

[SBubba18]

I am supposed to be taking one this year, but my parents told me not to take the AP American History class. I regret not taking it because the regular American History class is way to easy.

Next year I will be taking the AP Government and Politics.

Same.
I'm also doing AP Human Geography and AP US History next year.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I'm obviously not taking any AP classes now.
But I believe in my last year I'll be taking AP French.
Possibly Calculus too.

Ditto for the bolded. Except for us, AP gov't and econ. are all rolled into one. In addition, I'll be taking AP psychology and AP Spanish.

 

[PigletGurl]

AP Biology
AP Spanish
AP English
AP Pre-Calculus

I'm taking the last three this week, and AP Biology in May.

AP stands for Advanced Placement and it's a test you take to assess your abilities in a certain subject area. If you score really well on one you can get college credit, or be exempt from a certain class in college.

 

[marypops!]

ooooo

That's the USA equivalent to GCSEs :-D i've always wondered.

If we get a certain amount of GCSEs between C-A* then we can get into better 6th Forms and Colleges. At 6th Form, we take A Levels which is a higher form of GCSE and decides what we can take at College (so if you wanted to take English at College, then you would need an A Level in English and some other ones. Zoology would be Biology and another Science, etc.)

what uh? explain more plz

 

[marypops!]

It's rather hard to explain...

In Secondary School (is that Middle School or High School for you?) we spend 3 years taking most lessons, then at the end of yr 9, we choose the lessons we want to carry on with (ranges from 3 lessons to 6 lessons) which are things like Geography, History, RS long course, Drama, etc. then we have compulsery lessons as well like English, Maths, RS short course, PE short course, etc.

We learn them for 2 years and then take an exam on every lesson which is our GCSE. GCSE's can help us take further education and can get us better jobs. For further education, we go into 6th Form and we choose 4 subjects which we will take as A Levels, normally you can't take an A Level if you haven't got it as a GCSE (so you can't take a French A Level if you haven't got a French GCSE) and some A Levels where there wasn't a GCSE for, you would need multiple ones like for Media Studies, you would need English Literature and maybe Drama, possibly IT.

Then A Levels can get you better jobs again plus with the A Levels you choose, you can then go on to get a College Degree with them. Same things about GCSE's to A Levels applies for A Levels to College Degrees.

Hope that makes more sense instead of less sense...
