AP Classes
 

I'm wondering what AP classes other FIRSTer's are taking.




I'm taking AP Calculus AB and AP Physics C:Mechanics & Forces.(this year :D)...
Next Year: AP Physics C E & M, AP Calculus BC, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, and AP US Government & Politics

Re: AP Classes
 

Calc AB and US History.

We've started doing practice tests recently in my Calc class.... man, that's gonna be a fun test to take :rolleyes:

I took world history last year, and I'll be taking a smattering next year, as well. (including Physics B and Statistics.)

Re: AP Classes
 

Physics B and US History this year

Calc AB, Prob/Stat, and World History next year.

Re: AP Classes
 

ap physics c (electronics and mechanics), ap us history, ap macroeconomics

ap physics c loves to take away precious sleep, especially since im still in precalc :(

Re: AP Classes
 

I'm taking CompSci A, Calculus AB, and US History... still need to do more last minute studying. :eek:

Took World History last year. Next year, taking US Gov, Physics B, Calc BC, and maybe Stats.

Re: AP Classes
 

This year: AP World History and AP Lang and Comp
Next year: AP Calc, AP Bio, AP Physics, AP Lit,

I wish it would qualify as an AP, but we also have a double block honors robotics seminar and independent study at our school that most MORT students take.

Re: AP Classes
 

Soph Year: AP World History
Junior: AP Calculus AB, Biology, US History
Senior: AP Statistics, English Lit, Government

Re: AP Classes
 

This year, US History, Calculus AB, and Physics C (Mech and E&M).

Next year, Micro and Macroeconomics, US Government, and Environmental Science.

Whoop-dee-doo.

Re: AP Classes
 

AP Calculus BC and AP English Lit.

Those are half the AP classes my school offers (but they're adding more! ...after I graduate). I couldn't take AP Biology or AP American History because of schedule conflicts.

I am really looking forward to the Calc. BC exam, though. I guess this is what I've been looking forward to for most of my life. I've always loved mathematics, and now I get to demonstrate my skill. Yay!

Unfortunately, I'm not looking forward to the Lit. exam because, ultimately, scoring well on it doesn't benefit me -- I still have to take two semesters of English. I guess that's what I get for being on the Honors College.

Re: AP Classes
 

I'm taking four AP classes this year: Physics B (Our school doesn't have a class for Physics C, though some students still choose to take the C-Mechanics Exam), Calculus BC, Statistics, and Microeconomics.

Re: AP Classes
 

Soph Year: AP Chem
Junior Year: AP US History, AP Calc AB, AP Comp Sci A
Senior Year: AP Calc BC, AP Physics C (E&M), AP Comp Sci AB, AP Macro/Micro Econ

Physics C is awesome...our teacher is very chill and you can always compare things, we calculate slippage on the regolith.
Calc just got my interset up again,
AP Comp Sci is a really really really easy class (I think I got a 90% on the AB test)
AP Econ is easy and fun, it gives you good knowledge of how to run a business and makes you keep upto the news in the world, as well my teacher is hilarious.

My suggesstions is not to tak AP US History (it wasnt the best class for me, not enough math) but other than that I liked every class I took (cept AP Chem, I had a tough time in that class)

Re: AP Classes
 

I've taken AP Bio for the past 13 years straight. And I always get a perfect score for the final....

Re: AP Classes
 

I'm taking AP Psychology and AP Environmental Science this year... Only problem is that both tests are on the same day... That'll suck.

I was supposed to take Chemistry, Calc AB and BC, English and US History. Thank god I got into a new school and now I'm only taking AP Chemistry and Calc if I place into them. Yay laziness!

Re: AP Classes
 

Just AP Lit this year...

planning on AP Lang, and Calc AB next year.

Re: AP Classes
 

Next year I'm taking...

AP Calc AB
AP English language and comp
AP Bio
AP US history

Re: AP Classes
 

This year:
World History
Junior Year:
US History
BC calculus
English- i have no clue which one
Chemistry
Physics B-at our school they dont actually count the class as an AP
Senior Year:
Government
Multivariable calculus-thru george Mason university
English- again i dont know which
Physics C

Re: AP Classes
 

I took AP Calculus BC and AP Chemistry last year.

I'm taking AP Physics C (both Mechanics and E&M) and AP Statistics this year.

Statistics is a silly AP. I can't stand that they get to ask a one line question and expect a five part response. Not to mention, the grading system for the free response is ridiculously subjective. :rolleyes:

Re: AP Classes
 

I have taken, am taking, or will be taking: AP European History, AP United States History, AP English, AP Government, (AP of Dual Enrollment) Economics, and possibly AP Biology

Re: AP Classes
 

Last year (junior year) I took AP Chem, and I feel lucky my brain didn't ooze out of my head when I was done.

This year, Calc AB and AP Lit. I wanted to take AP Physics, but my school doesn't offer it so I took honors physics.

I'm geeking out about the upcoming AP tests. Lit is going to be easy but Calc...not so much. We're doing practice tests and I can't believe how much stuff I forgot just this year. I need an external HDD for my brain.

Re: AP Classes
 

Hopefully by senior year, I will be taking AP Calculus AB, and AP Physics. Im set for AP physics, but I have to advance another step in math, which should happen, since I have a 97% average in my math class this year...

Re: AP Classes
 

Our school only offers AP Physics B, there's no AP physics C ... =[

I'm in AP phys and that's it for this year, my senior year I'll be in AP environmental and AP AB calculuss

Re: AP Classes
 

You have very good taste, as that is nearly identical to what I've taken.

10: AP US Gov't & Politics
11: AP Calc AB, AP Physics C: Mech, AP Micro, AP Macro
12: No APs, Calc II & III local community college.

Good luck to all of you in early May...

Re: AP Classes
 

My favourite topic! /sarcasm
11th: Physics C Mech, Physics C E & M, Language and Comp, APUSH
12th: Calc BC, Econ Micro, Econ Macro, Literature, Enviro
So... Who's not studying? *raises hand*

Re: AP Classes
 

im a soph, so im not taking any this year, but next year im taking:
AP calc
AP bio

and i am thinking aobut AP Stat, and AP Macro too

Re: AP Classes
 

10th: AP Chem
11th: AP US History, AP Lang, AP Stat
12th: AP Lit, AP Calc AB, AP Physics B, AP Psych, AP Micro, AP Macro, AP Comp Sci A

Chem was my least favorite - by far.

Re: AP Classes
 

This year I haven't taken any....
But, next year I'm taking AP US History 2, AP Calculus AB and BC, and also AP Chem

Re: AP Classes
 

Last year I only took AP US and AP US Govt.

This year I took AP Stat, AP Euro, AP Psych and AP 2-D Design

One AP test down... 3 to go...

You can't take both calc tests in the same year =/

Re: AP Classes
 

Everybody taking the AB Calc test tomorrow.... Are you ready? :p

Re: AP Classes
 

After reading through a lot of the posts here I realize how lucky I am that my school offers so many AP classes... I'm graduating this year, but next year at my school the only APs that they aren't offering are Japanese, Chinese, and Italian (technically they don't offer German either, but most German 5 students take the test anyway and get 4s and 5s)... and maybe they don't offer Art History I don't remember, but I would assume they are since they added all 3 AP Arts for next year (I was the first one for 2-D at my school YAY!!!). This thread is actually making me realize I'm going to miss my high school :(

Re: AP Classes
 

I liked it, except for FR 4) B)...


AB FR:

BC FR:
http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/ap...alculus_bc.pdf

Note: Questions 1,2,5 are the same on both tests.

Re: AP Classes
 

AP US History - last year
AP Biology - Ready for Monday!!!

Re: AP Classes
 

Well, this year I'm in just APUSH. Anyone else find the essays to be really terrible? But don't talk about them specifically, or our scores will get revoked.

Next year I am taking AP Physics C: Mechanics, AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, AP BC Calculus, AP English Literature, and hopefully AP Spanish, though there might be some issues with my schedule.

I'm also taking Principles in Microeconomics after school at Arcadia in order to free up my schedule. My high school has an economics requirement, but if I take it after school at Arcadia, I can fill it and have room for a lunch. Yay food!

EDIT: I'm taking what my school calls regular Physics this year; no math higher than Algebra II (and barely any of that) and there's no AP test. But when I looked up what AP Physics B is, I found out that the only thing we don't learn that's in that course is optics, because my teacher thinks it's boring. He also said the school would probably just make it an AP Physics B course in a few years any way.

Re: AP Classes
 

I thought it was interesting... two perpendicular cross-section problems, but no volumes of rotational solids. (on AB, at least)

I liked the volume questions, though.

By the way, did they post solutions, too?

Re: AP Classes
 

They don't unfortunatly. They don't even have the 2008 solutions up yet. In general though, I tend to do very well on volume problems but having to solve for int(sin((pi/2)(2x-x^2),0,2) without a calculator wasn't good(yes, I couldve approximated with trapazoidal, but I didn't know what the graph of the integrand looked like...).
