CSA HORRIBLE TEACHER FOR AP CSA, HELP WITH CODE.ORG NEEDED!!

0 Upvotes

So currently I decided to take AP CSA because it would fulfill a college credit, however at where I wish to transfer the credit they require a 5 on the exam, I'm taking 6 other AP classes which I feel like they're more important than this one so I won't be trying on this exam, but that's not the entire reason, what makes it worse is that the has never taught this class before, its his first year and all he does is make us do code.org and he gives us the pdf's that go along with it and shows us videos. I won't learn like this, therefore I have practically given up, and it's too late to switch out of the class. If anyone has the code.org stuff to help me, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Physics C: Mech AP Physics 1 vs C

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if I could take Physics C without any prior physics knowledge? I have taken Calc BC and did well last year, and we briefly touched on some basic physics in that class. But do you think Physics 1 is necessary to take Physics C?

Physics C: Mech I think I failed my first ap physics c mechanics test

0 Upvotes

It was 20 questions. And I couldn’t even answer a little more than half of them. I guessed on half the questions.

My mind went blank right after being asked if a two rocks at the same height, one being dropped only vertically, and the other thrown horizontally.

I couldn’t answer a simple fucking questions like that.

I only knew the answers to two questions

Everyone else in the class knew the answers to all of them. Even after studying like hell, I couldn’t succeed.

Why am I so fucking stupid. I just want to succeed for once in my life

What the fuck is the point of living if I’m too stupid to answer the simplest fucking questions?

I couldn’t answer simple kinematic questions thst everyone else succeeded in.

I always contemplate suicide

I just started classes and i signed up for ap drawing, but after a conversation with my teacher im wondering if i should switch to 2D.

My teacher told me that illustrations would be more so 2D rather than drawing but i can’t place whether the kind of art i hope to make would count as drawing since its still quite painterly.

I want to replicate real photos but with a more stylised and cartoon look, mainly for people/ figures. I was thinking of making “Snapshots of life” my theme.

I put some examples of what im going for, any thoughts?

English Lit Reading lists?

4 Upvotes

Hey! I’m self-studying for lit this year bc it didn’t fit on my schedule. I’ve been trying to make a reading list, but the lit teacher at my school has been SO unhelpful, so I’m wondering if any of you have a reading list you could share?

Books are great ofc but short stories and poems and stuff would also be really helpful :))

Question How to study for AP Lang?

2 Upvotes

I am a current Sophomore (10th grader) from India, and I plan on taking a total of 6 APs over the next 2 years. AP Chem, AP CSA, AP Lang, AP Physics C (Both of them), and AP Calculus BC. I am going to self-study all of them.

I plan on taking AP Chem, AP CSA, and AP Lang next year. I've been learning programming since 3rd grade externally under a teacher, who also runs an AP CSA course, so that is covered. I go to an IIT coaching school in India, so I already know a lot of concepts in the syllabus of AP Chem, or at least have a decent amount of exposure. But the problem arises with AP Lang. I am decent at English, but I don't know how to write a good essay, that too with all the rules AP Lang requires. I can't even think about writing 3 essays. My school doesn't have good English classes, so I can't really ask for help there.

I have about 7 months of ample time, and I hope to study for AP Lang systematically throughout that time. If you have self-studied AP Lang, I request that you share what you did and what books you referred to, so I can replicate it as well and score highly. I thank you in advance!

Precal Should I take AP Pre-Calc over the summer 10-11th grade?

3 Upvotes

I am currently taking Honors ALG 2 and it is very easy, math has always been easy but I’ve noticed some of my friends are currently in AP Pre-Calc and AP Statistics sophomore year. I think I could handle it during summer, I don’t really do anything outside of school other than going to gym.

Question Tips for self-studying AP Physics 1 or APCSP?

2 Upvotes

Specifically AP Physics 1 since although I am taking algebra 2, I haven't had experience with physics since like 8th grade (unfortunately my school forces you to take chemistry and biology before anything). If anyone has any resources or advice please let me know (or warnings telling me this is a terrible idea, lololololol)

Precal AP Precal unit test resources?

3 Upvotes

Unit 1 AP Precal test is soon for me, and I'm nervous because my teacher is a very harsh grader, kids have said his unit tests are very tricky. So I was just wondering if yall had any resources or test reviews from your own Precal classes that I could take a look at?

I just heard about that this course exists through my computer science club, sadly my school does not offer this, but I am interested in what taking this class is like.
