AP Tests Loom

I take one last swig of a can of gingerale as I step away from the keyboard, do my hair, and head over to the testing grounds for my AP Calc Test. AP Physics still looms a week away.

Who else out there in FIRST is working their butts off to past the AP's?

Who else needs help studying for an AP?

Post it here.

Re: AP Tests Loom

Well I took AP Language & Composition yesterday, it was decent.

Tomorrow is AP Statistics, friday is AP United States History and Monday is AP Physics B.

Working my butt off? No, not really, studied a little for stats, and I'm gonna study this weekend for physics.

Re: AP Tests Loom

Yep, AP Calc BC today, in an hour and a half actually. Then three more IB tests over the next two weeks.

Re: AP Tests Loom

I took AP Physics this year just because I like physics. I'm taking the test next week but I'm not going to kill myself over it.
If I wanted college credit for physics I would have taken a community college class. It's much easier that way.

Re: AP Tests Loom

One test down. The AP Calc was easy save one question, so I'm not worried at all.

Now I only need to get AP Physics out of the way.

But man... over four hours of just sitting there... Now that was killer.

Re: AP Tests Loom

AP Chem next Tuesday, and seeing how it's the only AP offered for sophomores at my school, it's all I've got. Unfortunately, our AP Chem teacher has a bad record for his students' performance on the AP...two fives in twelve years or something like that. My friend's sister took 8 AP exams during her high school career and got 5s on all of them except for chem...so I'm a little worried.

Re: AP Tests Loom

In our school, you can not get into the AP's until Junior year. The few available then are; US history, Bio, Chem, Comp/Sci, and Statistics.

I'm taking History and Stats this year, have yet to study...woops. Next year though, im upping my load to 5; Psych, Physics, Calc, Poli Sci, and another science or Social Studies(can not remember which one i selected.)

I'm definitely not going to kill myself over this, i just wanna take it easy and see what i get, doesnt matter what. I figure if i do bad, i can just take the class in college if i wanted to.

Considering I've taken most of those and have friends in the others... famous last words. All I'm saying.

Same at our school, only we must have considerably less than your school. I think we only have Language, Literature, Chem, Calc, Biology, Physics, Spanish, French, Latin and Art. I'm not sure if we have kids taking all of them this year. I'm also pretty sure you'd max out at 4 APs, senior year. There's no way i'd ever make 8 in my high school career.

It's a shame we don't have Comp Sci AP at our school

Ouch. Our school has not had a person fail AP Chem in 10 years, and something like 40% get 5s. I just finished AP calc about 15 minutes ago. I take AP US history on Friday (I still have 60 more pages to read in the REA review book), and AP Chem next Tuesday. I'm not too worried about AP Chem, but I am a bit concerned about History.

Re: AP Tests Loom

What's IB? I keep hearing people talking about it but I've never seen it.

And Comp Sci? I took it. Interesting, but strange in a way. The choose to teach Java instead of C++, which is good as Java is cross-OS, but it tends to be used more for web applications- yet you never use it for a web application in the class.
