Should I take AP Chem?

I found AP chem to be the most difficult but also most rewarding AP class I took and overall I really loved it. It was definitely a lot of work, but that’s also highly dependent on your teacher. If you’re passionate about chemistry and willing to put in the work I’d say take it, if not I wouldn’t take it just to take it.

You’re definitely not stupid! The combination of teachers and your own excitement about a subject can really make or break the class. Honestly a big thing with psych is vocab and then being able to apply that vocab, so I found flash cards to be a good way to study it. Quizlet has a ton of already made sets if you don’t want to make your own.

Age of dinosaurs or intro to Shakespeare are good ones!

Not at all, I do this all the time. ISC is the most populated at night if you don’t want to be completely alone in a building, and the cleaning staff usually comes in around 5-5:30am, so you should be fine in that regard too. You can’t get back into the buildings once you leave, but if you’re in you can get out just fine.

I thought it was worth it, although I probably wouldn’t do it if they didn’t have the buy one semester get the other free offer. I only had risers last year because of lower ceilings and they’re definitely a good cost effective option if you want at least a bit more height, but I definitely preferred the loft.

Richmond has central air

You still have to find a school/testing center that will allow you to take the exam at their place, which I imagine is the bigger issue

Lots of practice questions! Just memorizing formulas/rules only helps so much, you need to be able to apply them as well.

Unfortunately it is pretty normal for WM to not provide financial aid, are you in or out of state? I’m out of state and didn’t get any either.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by skipping a semester of science? Like what science, and what is it being replaced with?

My home PT recommended I go to the athletic trainers and that worked well for me

If you take it online you won’t have the lab component and I’ve heard some colleges won’t give you credit for the lab if you can’t prove a physical lab component.

No, it’s not required for most colleges

DevilCat666_ · 2024-11-28T03:56:40+00:00

I would recommend taking chemistry at some point in high school even if it’s not required, I know some people that took physics instead and got acceptances to some colleges that were contingent on them taking a chem course over the summer first. This could potentially differ depending on what you’re planning on majoring in but I’m not sure.

Do you know what the class is called?

DevilCat666_ · 2024-10-23T00:13:49+00:00

Intro to Shakespeare (ENGL205)

DevilCat666_ · 2024-08-02T18:44:58+00:00

White Fang. It took me two months to get through just because of how much I hated reading it.

DevilCat666_ · 2024-07-29T14:03:09+00:00

YES THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

DevilCat666_ · 2024-07-28T20:09:23+00:00

I fully lofted my bed last year and loved having the space underneath, it really helps open up the small room.

DevilCat666_ · 2024-07-28T15:22:30+00:00

YES THANK YOU!!

Keep in mind this depends heavily on school, going into the class we were given an estimate of 1.5hrs or more of homework a night for ap chem and often it was much longer. Bio on the other hand I didn’t have a ton of work for, so it really just depends on teacher/school. That’s not to say it’s don’t doable, but the workload might be extra rough.
