AP Classes

By the way, did they post solutions, too?

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...).

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.

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

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...

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*
