Got a quick question for ya. The poem about the titanic, was is written by Thomas Hardy? I can't remember the name.

forget AP, i'm in IB... and i'm not sure what i was thinking, but its my last year, so i can suck it up and deal with it, or atleast i can try my best

"IB.... Ignorance is Bliss"

Around here IBO stands for International Biology Olympiad.
Hooray for AP!

AP
 

If it weren't for the fact that my fave teacher <cough,cough> Mr. Cokeley (also our Robotics coach) is in charge of AP Biology, I'd probably have dropped out of the course ages ago. Luckily, though I may only be barely passing, at least it's fun 'cuz Cokeley rules. Too bad I'm still not doin well at it. hah!

I'm taking four tests, but in may. :D
Calc BC (In an AB class; hard to stay motivated)
English Lit
US Government
Physics C Mech (Independent study, so I can also take orchestra and gov; cool/useful subject, no distractions, easy to be motivated, now that 'bot is shipped)

I've got it pretty easy, 'cause nothing can be as hard as AP US History. I got a 3, because I was concise. Remember, the more times you repeat what you say, (Until a logical limit), the higher your score.

SO true, FAK.
Anyway, I make AP my bizzatch. Honestly, last year I slid by with a C in AP US History, netting a four on the AP. I expect to repeat the process with 3 I'm taking this year.

yay for year old topics?

oh well, another year has passed, and instead of 4 APs, i'm taking three :p. screw english :)

AP Physics AB
AP US
AP CS AB

not too bad, not exactly a blast either. oh well, extra college credit never hurt anyone.

Nice to know someone else feels the same way.

The two AP bio teachers at our school are also involved with robotics! It might not be just a coincidence.:eek:

I'm taking AP Chemistry and AP English (both parts) this year. I took AP Calculus BC last year, so I'm taking math classes at Oakland University right now.

Sorry but I've gotta disagree. I'll preface this fact by admitting that I couldn't pass a math or science AP test back in the day but I did get a 5 on my AP US History, Gov & Politics, and English. In all of my history/english essays I was very concise and had my standard way of answering all the questions. Lil historical background intro ending with a clear and poignant thesis. Each paragraph started with what I was going to talk about then I had my points followed by 2-3 sentences to prove each one. Then in the conclusion wrap it all up by rewording your thesis and say how it set a precedent for the future.

That's basically my advice to any of you taking these humanitarian AP's: get down your system because when it comes to the test, time flies. Both my history and English teachers were graders for the college board and let me tell you, they like elevated diction but detest BS.

I know that they're still two months away but good luck you all and don't stress too much. I know a lot of colleges (like UCLA) are reforming their gen ed's so that AP's won't let you bypass what you think you're passing out of but they still will help you get in. Also, despite the fact that they say they place less emphasis on it, grades still are on the top of the priority list so don't let them slip.
