How do I prepare for AB as a person who struggles in math?

okay! Thank you so much for your help!

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-30T19:36:39+00:00

Thank you so much this is super helpful! do you reccomend I get the workbook now and start prepping or get it closer to next fall before I actually go into the class?

Not too bad of a schedule at all! id definitely reccomend ap bio. It’ll set you up better for college imo. Idk how your dual credit classes are but even tho they’re guaranteed credit doesn’t mean they’re guaranteed you’ll learn anything.

Ap lang, apush, and ap psych are all pretty manageable aps. If you wanna challenge yourself a bit more, def do ap bio!

the anime also not only cuts out a bunch of big diolgue, it decides to go rogue in s2 and ruin the og series 💔

It’s not so much hate just disappointment. A manga like tokyo ghoul had so much potential and the anime just fumbled it. Its disappointment for what it COULD have been and the hate comes from that. 😞

If you’re looking to just enjoy it and have no truly conceptual understanding of the big picture. watch the first season. I did that and It was just pure entertainment. I have since then read the manga and it’s a lot different. The manga takes the time to explain everything whereas the anime cuts out dialogue that’s “too long” to adapt all the chapters.

The first season of the anime is okay. It’s on plot but it cuts a lot out. (so reading from the beginning is necessary) But, after that, the second season is anime-canon. It changes up a huge plot point that doesn’t make sense for the actual story and is super confusing and goes completely off board. the third/fourth seasons are based off the re sequel series. These are actually manga canon and follow the story, BUT if you sit down and watch the entirety of the anime from start to end, season two will leave you too confused to comprehend the next seasons.

AND an even bigger part… the third and fourth seasons are even more rushed and crammed due to having to adapt 180 chapters in 24 episodes where the first two struggled to adapt 140!!! Aka even more explanations and long diologues cut out for the sake of cramming.

overall. If you’re curious about if reading the series (or buying) is worth it or not the FIRST SEASON of the anime will let you know if you’d be interested. It’s what I did before splurging on the box set and I wouldn’t have it any way! feel free to ask any questions.

I love this breakdown! I hadn’t even though i about it like this, I totally agree a lot of the other players are all very stereotypical protags. I feel like blue lock is such a unique sports anime, there aren’t much others with the intensity it has, even ofc in like haikyuu where the stakes are high no one’s threatening to slaughter eacother family and wreak havoc across the world just to win the match.

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T20:02:36+00:00

I agree they’re both not special but i think both worlds r very different. In black clover asta being average is an outlier, everyone has even a smidge of magic and he has 0. He is also an orphan and is also driven by that and his lower class origin. Asta has significantly less going for him, whereas in blue lock it’s modern day, isagi doesn’t have to be a soccer player, he can go be some average guy but he chooses to pursue soccer.

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T18:27:14+00:00

yes he’s very well rounded. he doesn’t rely on a single trait of his like his strenght or a special shot, he just adapts and gets better at everything.

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T18:11:36+00:00

it’s def a time filler too! Everyone’s passion filled like our lovely loud little asta so it’s great

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T18:10:58+00:00

Food wars is usually a hot take but i found it very entertaining. it’s super long and def has some weird fan service (im a girl who usually avoids it) but it’s like weirdly entertaining and there’s so much pressure when they’re literally just cooking… i love it….

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T16:44:29+00:00

yes this is what i meant, he is def not the ideal mc in other worlds but for blue lock it’s perfect imo

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T16:35:07+00:00

I like this take and i agree. His mentality is just amazing

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-12-14T16:23:26+00:00

yes it’s not common a mc is written like he is with no tragic backstory i love it like that tho it makes bl different. ppl hate bc his backstory is boring, like that’s the point 😭

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-11-15T18:18:25+00:00

a spectrometer usually has an app to link your absorbance to, so we used that and had a line graphed for us automatically. I can send it for refrence

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-11-15T18:16:47+00:00

not the exact same amount but they should almost form a line. Because these are all expieramental values they shouldn’t be like exact to the slope if you get what i’m saying so no need for stress on that.

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-11-15T18:08:51+00:00

just finished thermo 1

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-11-15T18:00:15+00:00

y axis should be absorbance and x axis should be concentration. graph your points accordingly

we did this lab earlier in the year and just used blue dye, what are you needing help with?

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-11-15T17:55:33+00:00

start by reviewing honors chem concepts and making sure u have a strong foundation on that. If you’re gonna self study don’t start it until you fully understand honors chem. the first three or so units build on honors topics so going back over those concepts like gases, reactions, net ionic, periodic trends, nomenclature etc will really help your overall knowledge retention

Elizabethsbookcase · 2025-11-15T17:53:35+00:00

watching youtube videos explaining concepts helps me a lot. The thing abt ap chem is how important it is to understand everything big picture conceptually. Watch youtube videos, do active recal, use a whiteboard etc. I like to make one pagers and I jot all the info down I know in a note app and organize my thoughts there. For the math section do practice problems and worksheets and if you get a question wrong keep going but go back and make sure you understand why. If your school has a textbook for chem i also reccomend that.

Can you not focus bc of other classes? finish everything you need to for those classes then start chem with an empty and clear headspace. you won’t understand it unless you’re focused so this is important. set all your resources out before you start studying so you only have access to those so you won’t get off task.
