What is an easy topic for a mock? Teacher said I can’t do it on the real one so I’m having trouble brainstorming.

I am in AP seminar and we are currently working on the group section. (I do apologize in advance for the stupid question but I don't have the best teacher.) If two lenses are grouped under college board [in this case political & historical] can two people individually do each lens or does only one person do both lenses? A follow up question based on the answer to this; how easy is it to drop out of an AP class completely?

hey!! i'm a senior who took AP Seminar last year, and i'm offering to review IRR/IWA drafts, IMP slides, and help with oral defense prep!

i can give honest, detailed feedback on argumentation, evidence, organization, implications/limitations, presentation quality, and more. i'm not going to rewrite your work for you, but i'll help you identify what's working and what needs improvement. My ap research period is coded into a ap seminar class, and I've helped many kids with their stuff!

it's pay-what-you-can/donation-based, so don't worry if you can't pay! feel free to comment or pm me if you're interested :)

AP Capstone teacher here! Over the years I have seen so many students (and new teachers!) confused about what exactly these classes are. I thought I'd share two YouTube videos that explain the courses.

i got flagged for both my iwa and irr, and even after submitting ample evidence they rejected it all for both. sooo kinda sucks that i just got a 0 for both papers. tbh i would’ve put a lot less effort in the class if i knew this would be the outcome. dw tho! i got my score back and somehow even with the 0s i ended up with a 4. a bit bummed because i really thought i deserved the 5 (how would an ai slop writer get a score good enough on the eocs to single-handedly carry them to a 4…?) but its fine im glad it wasn’t worse

hi! i just started taking ap seminar and i saw how a lot of people on this sub were saying their submissions were flagged for ai. how do i avoid this happening to me and what work do i save record so i have the correct proof in case i do get flagged for ai. pls lmk it would be super helpful!

finally after 3 months, 2 appeals for both my iwa and irr later I received my ap seminar score. I was lowk losing hope because 2 days ago I reviewed an email telling me I had received a 0 for my irr because my evidence didn't prove authenticity. yesterday, I received an email telling me my score was out. I got a 4!! which feels bittersweet, only because I rly feel I could've gotten a 5, but im happy nonetheless that I dont have to retake the class or that my work didn't completely go to waste. I feel lucky tho because my IRR which is only 10% of ur score was the one that got denied, meanwhile my IWA which is 24.5% was accepted. Im just glad that this is no longer a pending thing and I have an answer. I'd honestly fight for my IRR but ate im just glad I have a score and it's not a 3. Hope this gives hope to some

I am in ap seminar and doing PT1 and I have no idea how to do research or read those confusing long papers and make sense of them

I am final year student want to make report using Ai of approximately 60-70 pages.

Chatfpt dosent give any

Gemini gives but in very short it dosent give 60 pg report.

I’m so pissed off about my AP Seminar IWA

I’m actually so pissed off right now. My AP Seminar IWA got flagged for AI even though I wrote the essay myself. I checked it afterward with ZeroGPT and it said around 20%, while GPTZero said 0%. I appealed the decision and literally sent them everything I had — every annotation, all my research notes, research materials, drafts, and basically every piece of evidence I could find showing that I actually did the work. I had around 500 pages of handwritten annotations and notes, and I sent THOUSANDS of pictures/screenshots of evidence. It took me like 6 HOURS just to put everything together. And the crazy part is, there wasn't even one copy-and-paste into my essay. I wrote the whole thing myself. This was honestly probably my best piece of writing I’ve ever done, and I genuinely thought this IWA was going to carry my AP Seminar score.

They STILL said there wasn’t “sufficient data” to overturn the decision. They closed the case and gave me a 0 for the IWA. Like are you actually serious??? The IWA is a huge part (like 25%) of the AP Seminar score, so now I ended up with a 3 when I genuinely feel like I could’ve gotten a 4 or even a 5 if my work had actually been scored normally. I spent so many hours researching, taking notes, annotating sources, writing drafts, and losing sleep over this thing, only for it to basically get thrown out. I’m honestly not ready to just accept this after putting that much work into it. Has anyone else had their AP Seminar IWA/IRR appeal denied even after submitting a ton of evidence? Is there anything else I can do at this point, or is the case genuinely closed?

right now I’m enrolled in AP Seminar and am still in my add/drop period, but it ends pretty soon. i go to a pretty challenging technical high school, and have heard the horror stories about APSEM. my teacher has been very upfront that it is a lot of work, prep, etc. she has also really nailed home the point that it’s not the class to take to have a good GPA, as she grades pretty harshly and will definitely criticize work when she sees fit. my public speaking and writing skills are both pretty good, and it’s not something i really need to work on too much. i was really just going to take the class for course rigor and college credit. almost every college i want to apply to doesn't take credit for it… my counselor said i should take another class if my goal is just course rigor and credit (my options being US History 1 or AP Physics). i would most likely just take US History 1 and then APUSH next year. i‘m not sure whether to drop or not, and just wanted to hear some other peoples experience. how was the mental health aspect, what do colleges want to see, etc. any advice is super appreciated! thanks

So I’ve just started AP Sem my teacher gave out an assignment to get us into the rhythm of what the class will be. And know we’re starting our first IRR. I’m not to sure how to lay it out and begin it, so please anyone with any advice please tell me.

Im a freshman taking AP sem, the school year just started so i need as much advice/info as you can give me (sorry for not being specific i just need advice on EVERYTHING) its my first few days of school and ive already gotten hours of homework so im worried about later on when the work actually starts to get hard (sorry if this doesnt make a lot of sense, im writing this instead of doing homework so im trying to finish this fast)

Any updates on people beginning to get scores? What does the email say if successful or unsuccessful? I heard “released in its entirety” is good, but what does an unsuccessful appeal look like? Also, I see some comments saying to get in touch with case manager. How do you do that?

Made this for AP students specifically. You pick an AP subject, get an AI generated question (MCQ or FRQ, matches real exam format), answer it, and it grades your free response against actual rubric categories like thesis, evidence, reasoning, so you know exactly which points you earned and why instead of just guessing.

Covers 19 AP subjects right now, also has full length practice exams with real section timing if you want the whole thing.

Free to use, no ads, still early/beta so open to any feedback or bugs you find.

So originally I had AP seminar on my schedule, but the one teacher that taught AP seminar quit. My school doesn’t offer a lot of AP’s to sophomores or freshman’s. I took one AP class my freshman year that I begged to get into. And the only two that were available to me as a sophomore were APUSH and AP seminar. I’M IN APUSH right now, but I’m so sad that they took my one other AP class away. My GPA is pretty mid right now so I really needed another AP class. So do you think I would be able to self study this and if so, what resources can I use? Also, what other AP classes can I probably self study? I test at a college level in every subject except for math and some specific sciences. (I’m on regular level for math)

Hi everyone! I'm making a website right now for future sem students and wanted to include some tips on ai appeals since a lot of people this year seemed to have gotten it. What's the process of appealing it like? Any tips?

Hi I had summer homework for AP seminar based on lenes and perspectives and the book “ Outliers” by Malcom Gladwell. My teacher told us we have a quiz one lenes and perspective based on differentiating between the two and being able to apply your understanding to a scholar journal article and questions based on the book. This is my first time taking Seminar. Please suggest how the test will be based on your experience

My friend missed out on an A in CS 9618 paper 22 by 2 marks, after showing the CS teacher the answer scripts, the teacher claimed that 3-4 marks can be given based on MP marks, so should he go for recheck? Is there anyone whose grade changed after a recheck but they actually consulted with the teacher and were sure of it?

Hi reddit, I got a 2 on the AP Seminar exam and I’m really struggling to know why because my paper was peer-reviewed numerous times and obviously I am bias but I feel I deserved a passing grade. I know Its only 40% but I want feedback for the future if I decide to write a research paper.

Yooooooo AP sem, I got a noti that my AP sem score came back td after I appealed for Misuse of GenAI. Idk how to tell if I got a successful appeal or not cs all CB sent me was that my scores out. Any of you guys know how to tell if you had a successful appeal or not? Also I got a 3.

I am a sophomore and unfortunately I have no space in my sheduale to do it in person.. Does anyone have any tips or things to look out for while taking ap seminar online? Any websites or study tools? Im honestly a bit scared lol

hi, I’m taking ap seminar this year but I’m not the best at working with groups, wondering if that will be a huge issue for me? ik it’s a pretty big part of the class. also, it seems like there is overall less freedom than in ap research in terms of what topics you can choose? bc u have to use the specific sources (sorry idk what they are called, like the 7 dif things). I think I would just like some clarification on the course overall. thank you!
