idk if this is a thread yet but here goes...


Anyway, as AP test season is fast approaching, I thought I'd see what everyone's taking this year.

AP geo, AP lit and comp and AP chem.

I couldve taken ap econ or enviro but naah, waste of money for me. econ sucked a ton.

MEDSKI_Idk... That one guy loved his meadow then fuckin juliana or whatever fucked it all up.

What'd you guys write your open ended response on? I did A Prayer for Owen Meany


I did The Great Gatsby, there are probably better books to use, but I was really prepared with it and had pretty good arguments to support it

That would be a tough book. I can't even remember what the sacrifice was... Gatsby dying? Idk

Ya i based my whole argument how you can't just teach creativity, the synthesis was my least favorite even though i felt really good about it, and the analysis was a gods gift to me, ethos, logos, and pathos sealed the deal

you ass, I went the other way.... but actually I didn't realize that every AP Language and Comp test had the same free response prompts. I felt pretty good about it. Somehow I worked in the negotiations of the Cuban Missile Crisis as an exaggerated example of creative solutions to big problems- the threat of human extinction.

My teacher never told our class that we didn't get a calculator or a formula sheet for the multiple choice section. He let us use both on every practice test we took. We all opened up the test and looked around at each other with fear on our faces. The free response section on the other hand was pretty easy.

APUSH I think is way overhyped. In my school 10th graders take it, just as I did. Last year, I was only in an honors American History (no APUSH yet at my school) and 90% of the classes took it - I got a 4. didn't buy the book, didn't freakishly study or anything. I also knew a lot of american history BUT that's irrelevant.

but, did anyone take APHG today? FRQs were easy except for 1A... I forgot Rostow's model lel

Apush is considered one of the hardest ap's at my school, its up there with calc and physics. I think that is due to the fact that our teacher gives us two grades, tests and essays. So there are no fillers like homework or classwork, just big grades.

I wish kids in my school took it in 10th grade. Our school doesn't offer any APUSH, the 10th grade history course for everyone is US to 1900, and then junior year is 20th century world, so most people take it as a junior. I'm finishing 10th grade now, and wish I just kept reading the book until the end and took it this year. Would of make next year easier.

it is considered one of the hardest courses at my school too but our class was not graded like yours - it was done traditionally with homework, quizzes, tests, essays, etc. it remains one of the classes with the highest curves on it and yet, besides the metric fuckton of textbook reading, i found the curriculum rather simple. it's just memorization, really, and there is little critical thinking. i find a course like AP physics much more challenging (apples to oranges, i know, but that's not the point) because it's not just about what you know, it's about how you apply what you know.

i got a 5 on APUSH last year with minimal effort or studying. we'll see come august how i did in physics with the same routine.
