    Meh.
    I don't know about AP classes since I'm not in school like that.
    My Music Theory class has a lot of smart alecks... I hate people who give their two cents without me really asking. Gah... It's SO annoying. :/
    Wish you luck, though. :3

    I took APUSH last year...and failed. Our main essay was on Puritans. Ugh. I'm not very good at studying though... (I always procrastinated and stuff. Don't do what I did...><")
    I won't be taking any AP classes this year. I may take AP Art sometime, though...

    Fffff, I know what you mean! I'm in AP Psych, we've had two tests so far. Both of them have been open book. And for one of them she gave us the teacher copy by mistake and all the answers were already on it. XD;; At least it's fun...?

    Luckily--
    I'm the type that doesn't study unripe doo-doo covered banana, but still gets good grades.
    This year I'm taking Physics, Chem, Calc, Language, and US History... ...And then my last class is Socialogy, which is a blow off class where I get to sleep on a couch for an hour. èvé

    Last year I took the World History and Bio AP Exams-- which was the only things I ever studied for outside of school last year-- And I made a 5 in History and a 4 in Biology. ㅎvㅎd

    So I have 7 AP exams this year. (I'm also taking French and Japanese) ...And I'm doing a Korean test for some scholarships. (/reallyangrythatthere'schineseandjapaneseAPexams,butnokoreanhnng)

    sfaksjlfaf. im all in pre-AP. and. sfkjslkajg. sfgshkjdg.ag.sdgasgasdg.a.sg.se.rg.sfdgsdfgsdh. :I

    I find it funny that next year, when my step brother starts HS, he doesnt have to take the TAKS tests anymore, but I do ALL THE WAY THROUGH HS. D< and I still have to take semester exams, even though passing the TAKS with commended is supposed to allow you to not take the exams. the hell man im all confuss. D:

    @Sansyo – Lucky you. D: I’m glad there is no Korean AP though. My parents would make me take it. Then I’d fail. Your classes are very similar to mine though…

    @Luna – I hate your brother.

    @StateOfDep/Chase – That’s bad. Then you are woefully unprepared for the AP test. You need to do something.

    Advanced Placement (for high school students).
    After taking an AP course, getting a 4 or 5 on the test means you can skip that course in college.

    ...Did I mention it's hard as hell?

    Aster Selene, that depends on the teacher and the course x3 For instance...we drew a picture of colonists. And made a poster about somebody infamous who should have a scarlet letter. Tough stuff, amiright? x3
    We had Japanese classes at the middle school...I got to take two years, and then the teacher was "let go." orz And of course, there isn't even an online Japanese course through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (but there is German and Russian, no offense to people who are German/Russian or like the language, but I feel that, at least where I live, Japanese is waaaay more in demand than those two languages).

    The problem is that the test is really, really hard - so if your course is easy, it's not adequately preparing you for the test.

    It's a toss-up between getting a better grade and doing better on the test.

    You still need an adequately prepared background. AP books are for review.

    I suggest you find a yearlong course...?

    Well, in Chile we don't have AP but there's something similar called "Plan Especial" (Special Plan)
    When you finish 2º Medio (around 15-16 years old), you enter to 3º Medio and you have to choose between Humanist elective, Mathematic elective, or Biologic-Mathematic elective. In other schools you can find some variarions such as Cientific-Mathematic or Biologic, but we have those 3 in my school ATM.
    In my case I've chose Humanist elective, so I have extra hours of History, Philosophy and Spanish. I think it can be considered "College" or something similar.
    Well...in 4º Medio (last year of school, when you finish you must take the PSU, the test that decides if you can enter to University or no and blah blah :U ) if you have been a good student (good behavior) and you have good marks, you can be choosen to be one of the students that go to the "Plan Especial", that consists in only studying THE FIRST SEMESTER of 4º Medio and the second one is free, I mean, you don't have to be in the classroom and you don't have to be with the teachers. You can go to the library, eat something in the cafeteria, take a break...you study when you want and at your own rhytme Smile
    I hope to be choosen > < school has been hard this year for me orz

    I'm in all honors and I get to take AP Literature next year! I was going to do AP World History but I changed it to debate.

    I REALLY REGRET THAT NOW
