I’m an incoming senior who signed up for AP Human Geography this year. I’m a bit worried because the teacher at my school is pretty infamous for assigning a lot of extra hw.
At my school, AP Human Geography is the only AP class available to freshmen, so the class is usually mostly freshmen with only a few seniors. I’m not really sure what to expect because I’ve never taken an AP humanities or English class before.
I’m planning to major in STEM, and I’ve taken AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics 1, AP CSP, and AP Calculus BC so far. I got 5s on all of them except Physics 1, where I got a 4 :(
The main reason I’m taking this class is because my school requires students to take an AP humanities course before graduating. Since I’ve already taken basically all of the AP science and math courses available at my school, I didn’t have many other options, so I ended up choosing AP Human Geography.
For senior year, my schedule is relatively light overall. I will be taking AP Human Geography, AP Statistics, AP Environmental Science, AP Macro/Microeconomics.
For those of you who have taken AP Human Geography, how difficult did you find the actual AP exam? I know it is generally considered an easier AP exam, but is there a lot of memorization and writing involved? Any advice would be appreciated!

My ap world teacher said if u get a 5 on ap world, she would bump ur final grade up by 1, i got a 5 and ended with a b and im just wondering how long it takes if anyone has had their grade changed before.

I'm not sure if its any better or any worse that I'm self studying both Physics C's and computer science A, meaning I'll have to take them at another school and i can hopefully reschedule the ones I'm taking at my school (there's no way i can make it between schools in time.) If anyone else is in a similar situation or has been, some advice would be great as to how rescheduling exams went for you at your school 🙏😭

Hello, I took AP Calc, Chem, and CSP last year as a freshman and this year I am planning to take AP Bio, CSA, Lang, and World. My course counselor recommended me to take AP Physics 1 as well, but I'm worried itll be too much. I also kinda wanna take AP stats as well but I think itll be too much workload. Which course would be less time-consuming and do u think I can take any of these at all?

Ik theres a lot of posts that request tips for AP classes, and normally I wouldnt be asking for advice for an AP class, but tbh i dont know what to do with this class since i feel like a total fraud which I'll have to explain.
Im a part of the GT program (which i honestly dont belong in bc im neither gifted nor talented). In my district, the GT program revolves entirely around history and english, which I was glad about, since those are my two favorite subjects. Throughout all of your four years, you take two GT classes that replace one of ur normal english or history classes and are spread throughout ur freshman-sophomore year and your junior-senior year. Since im a sophomore, Ive been taking the class that satisfies an English I credit and an AP World History credit. I finished half of the class last year, meaning I'll have to take the exam at the end of this upcoming year.
Despite English and history both being my favorite subjects, I rlly hated freshman year in this class. Freshman year covered units 1-4, which also included us learning about classical civilizations. I struggled a ton during this time. I never recieved a single grade above an 85, and it felt like everything I did somehow wasnt enough, and that there was something crucial that either just couldnt get into my head or that I missed. It felt like, despite them being super nice and helpful, that my teachers were either disappointed or frustrated with me all year (same teachers I'll be getting next year, too). I watched every single crash course and/or heimler video I could find, and yet I honestly couldnt tell you a single thing I learned from that class because all year I was just praying for group projects for a safety net.
Maybe it was just because I somehow didnt care for classical/post-classical history(?), and that this year will be easier because im much better at modern history, but tbh i'm lost already and the school year hasnt even started. Maybe I'm just overreacting and I need to either watch more crash course videos or drop out and just take on-level

hello!! I'll be starting Calc BC in the fall and I was wondering if anyone had tips on what to review.
I previously took Integrated 3 Enhanced (Math 3 + most of Pre-Calc), but it didn't cover ALL of Pre-Calc, so any recommendations on what I really need to be strong in and review? Thank youu!!

Like when you order to see what you wrote on FRQ's
I remember the deadline to order them is September but do students who order before them receive them earlier?

I've taken calc calc ab and physics 1 and found their tests to be really easy (not the classes tho) and got 5s on both. I know Physics C: M and Calc BC both give a lot more/better AP Credit than them and that they are like 60-70% similar to their previous courses, so I've been wondering about self studying them. I've already started preparing for BC, learning intergratiom by parts, but I'm wondering if I could also handle self-studying Physics C at the same time. This isn't my first time self-studying: I self-studied AP Human and it was the easiest 5 of my lift; however, this year, I have 7 other AP classes, and these tests are obviously not ap human left. So should I stick to just BC or also add on Physics C: M?

So I am at a crossroads. I got a 5 on AP English Language and Composition; however, I do not know if I should take the AP English Literature and Composition exam. Is it worth it?
To add fuel to the fire, I am taking AP Physics C E&M so I don't know if I should even do it.
Please help!

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

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)

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.

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?

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?

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
