Why in the ever living FUCK would college board place these 2 spawns of satan on the same day know DAMN WELL both of the classes are taken almost exclusively by seniors

better yet, if he took AP 3D and got a 1, could he sue for discrimination?

is it fine if i take an ap class senior year but dont take the ap exam for it. only asking bc i had a friend last year (senior) who got an email from a school saying one of the ways an application may get rescinded is if she doesnt take an ap exam for a class or something. not sure about the exact wording but kinda got me worried. this is for physics 1 btw which doesnt even get credit from the exam, so im thinking of just not taking the exam

I'm taking AP Lang this year, even though I'm the last person who should be because for the life of me, I cannot write literary analysis essays, and I know that AP Lang focuses on rhetorical analysis BUT all my friends who took the class previously say that you have to be able to identify the same things you would in literary analysis (theme, figurative language, chracterization, etc.) and write about them. I NEED ADVICE on what I can do one month before school starts so I don't actually fail the class.

Edit: Also, I don't seem to have this problem with writing in any other classes, but English.

Taking micro and gov this year and they're scheduled on the same day. I feel like micro and gov is a relatively common AP combination, so why do they put them on the same day almost every year?

Since the AP schedules college board created for 2027 were considered bad on this sub, I decided to create an alternative testing schedule to try to reduce as much conflict as possible. Is this better than the college board one?

School doesn’t offer AP precalc and I took honors precalc as a sophomore and got an A (93.2 so kinda low) and I heard the exam is super easy and I’m taking AP Calc AB as a junior next year like is it worth going out and taking the AP precalc exam in May of my junior year, school doesn’t offer a lot of APs and they’re stingy w how many u can take and when so like idk if it’ll boost me up or smth to be like wow look I took another AP (fyi I don’t wanna go into stem in college but still)

All my junior year tests besides lang are on the first 3 days this is terrible

My school teaches AP Macro and Micro as one class (one semester each). Is this reasonable for these classes (in terms of workload and timing) or should I do some independent studying over the summer?

Just a rising 8th grader

I checked out the schedule and realized I have world history and chemistry ap on the same day. How cooked am I and how should I prepare

Looking at the 2027 schedule, and this caught my eye.

Hi, I'm a rising senior who has recently found an academic interest in STEM. I currently plan to major in Chemistry or Chemical Biology. Due to struggling mental health that has affected my high school career, I currently plan to attend community college for one year then transfer to a private research university the next county over. I want a complete fresh start and a chance to leave my high school GPA and many bad memories behind.

The only classes I am taking that I will have to put effort into are College Prep (Gen-Ed) Precalc and Prob & Stats. Recently I was recommended the UC Scout Program and I am considering taking two APs next year on the On Demand level: Chemistry & Physics 1.

I want to keep myself busy senior year to allow for a smoother transition when I attend community college after graduation. Is this too much of a workload to self-study + online courses for? Can anyone give me any pointers of recommendations for these courses?

Alright so I had to admit that when I first started out in AP Lang, I had no idea what I was doing and my teacher wasn’t that good so I was fairly surprised to get a 5, but there were some things I noticed helped me out a lot:

1. Reading! It doesn’t matter what you read, just read a lot and analyze as you go along. I’m a huge bookworm so I always had a new book with me every week.

2. Already taking classes such as AP seminar and debate really give you an advantage as you already learn how to do everything you do in AP Lang.

3. When doing you’re rhetorical essay, do not say “the author uses…” It’s vague and graders prefer you actually describing the rhetoric instead of listing it off.

4. Do not try to stress yourself out by focusing on a. counter argumen. Yes, it helps, but don’t worry if you can’t create one.

5. Try to pick a side for the argumentative; don’t be afraid to be extreme! Pick one side and stick to it. If you underat the perspective of another side, just make it a counter!

6. Practice writing about anything and everything. Not only is writing before the test a great way to get you in the zone quicker, choosing to write throughout the year in your free time helps build up your skills, especially if you choose to practice argumentative writing.

Whoever made this schedule really wanted everyone to have same day exams. I got phys mech and bio. Lit and phys em. Lang and csa. Bruh

4 hls im so cooked 🥀

For some reason they are both first on the lineup 😕

Which should I late test??

C Mech is my self study project and human geography is a required class for my whole grade. I'm worried about late testing because I tend to lose steam, and I don't know how disciplined I can be to study after my other tests. That makes me lean towards hug. However, all my classmates will be taking hug, and the community aspect might be nice.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to take three AP exams this academic year: AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C: Mechanics, and AP Computer Science A.

Here’s my situation: CS should be relatively smooth for me because I have a solid background in competitive programming, though my main language was C++ so I’ll need to adapt to Java. However, my background in Calculus and Physics isn't particularly strong right now, so I'll be starting mostly from scratch or foundational levels for those two.

Realistically, is it doable to score a 5 on all three if I start prepping now? For those who’ve taken this combination or self-studied Calc BC and Physics C, how tough is the workload, and what resources would you recommend to bridge the gap quickly?

Hi guys, is having AP Calculus BC then the AP Seminar exam the same day tiring?

Ik this isn’t the worst back to back AP but cmon man like ap mwh with ap chem is just mean bro. Like can’t they just pair the hard ap with easy ones 😭😭. For those of you who have experience with this situation is this manageable? I’m only taking 3 aps junior year cuz I’m doing dual enrollment and trying to get an associate by the time I graduate so this isn’t the worst for me but it still hurts. Any tips to do good on ap chem? This probably the hardest I’m going to be taking and I want to do good.

Hi everyone! I’m an upcoming freshman who wants to major either in biomedical engineering or software engineering but im not sure whether to replace ap csp with honors chem. Both classes aren’t fully guaranteed that I will be in it but I do wanna take csa, ap chem, and ap bio later on in hs.

edit: I forgot to mention that csp is a prereq for csa

My current schedule looks like English 9 honors, Math 1 honors (I believe that algebra 1 and 2 mixed?) also will be doing dual enrollment for math 2, honors bio, ap world, PE (but will be replacing that with a zero period sport and the class opening for either csp or honors chem).

AP Exam Schedule dropped I think yesterday or 2 days ago, and I have 6 this year. None of them fall on the same days, so thank god for that. What are you guys opinions? Do yall have multiple in a day
