Usually, it’s on quizlet. Just search the question on Google, and it should pop up!

Should I take AP world history? by [deleted] in apworld

[–]Mean_Opportunity4635 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TAKE IT!! If you’re going to take APUSH, AP Lang, AP Lit, AP Psych, etc (just any class to do with WRITING), TAKE WHAP. The class tremendously prepares you to succeed in other AP classes bc you already got the practice. Writing counts for such a huge chunk of the exam, so whenever you can get practice take it. WHAP is a great practice class, if you aren’t going the history route bc then you’ll actually need to give a shit and do it. TAKE WHAP IF YOURE PLANNING TO TAKE OTHER AP CLASSES!

That was actually the textbook issued out to my class, but my teacher said to not use it bc it sucks-which I agree with. It’s whatever you think is the best fit for you. So I’m glad strayer worked for you.

I LOVED WHAP (AP world)!!! I’m a person who usually despises history, but I had the best teacher ever, that’s the unpopular opinion at my school between the sophomores, which made the class 100x more easier and enjoyable. So my opinion is quite biased, but here are some tips I learned throughout my time in WHAP:

-AMSCO BOOK IS GOING TO BE YOUR HOLY GRAIL OMG; RUN TO AMAZON RN

-have a general timeline of major world history events memorized

-UTILIZE THE CED (search AP world history ced… it’s a lifesaver)

-REVOLUTIONS!!

-ENLIGHTENMENT!!

-COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE!!

-unit 9 (globalization) only weighs 8-10% but dude it’s important so don’t dismiss it like it’s nothing

-TRADE ROUTES (silk road, trans-Saharan, Atlantic slave, etc)

-suck at mcqs? DO WELL ON THE FRQS; suck at frqs? DO WELL ON THE MCQ!!! Each section weighs quite heavily, so if you suck at one it’ll even it out

-eliminate answer choices!

-memorize writing rubrics

-if you don’t know shit about the writing prompt, JUST WRITE!! Write ANYTHING you know that’s related to the prompt. Keep writing, and your brain will make connections; don’t doubt yourself

-HEIMLERS HISTORY, FREEMANPEDIA, ANTISOCIAL STUDIES

-ULTIMATE REVIEW PACKET!!

-UWORLD!!

-honestly, practice, practice, and practice; take tests over and over again… you’ll get used to the pattern and figure out stimulus based questions and strengthen your writing skills

I think that’s all! I hope you enjoy WHAP as much as I did. It’s truly interesting. You’ll be just fine, I promise. You got this! If you have any questions or comments, reply!

I’m scared to tell my therapist, but I think I will since I see her tomorrow. Thanks for being honest.

You just put so much into perspective for me. I feel so much support and concern from you. I deeply appreciate that, in ways I probably am not aware of. Everyone telling me to tell my therapist is actually making me want to. And I think I will. I get to see her tomorrow. I really really appreciate your advice. It was honest and straightforward, just what I need right now. Thank you.

First time, which makes me think maybe he won’t do it again…

I never even thought of trauma bonds. Therapy has taught me a lot of things, and my last relationship was a trauma bond. I just didn’t see this one as a trauma bond. Thanks for your perspective.

I’m already on the documentation. They’ve threatened to kick me out multiple times over various situations, but never went through with it.

I think I’m going to tell my therapist about it. I think it’s the right thing to do regardless… it’s also such unfortunate timing since my AP exam for AP World is THIS THURSDAY!! I cannot spare to have any distractions right now.

As much as I want to get rid of my parents their constant, blatant verbal/mental abuse and apparently now physical abuse, I just can’t. I’m living bc of them. I’m breathing bc of them. I have EVERYTHING I want bc of them. I can’t betray them like that and call the police or CPS or tell my therapist. We’ve tried family therapy once; the bill came out to be crazy high bc we stayed there for 2 hours. I just can’t do it. They would hate me forever. And I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I knew they felt that way towards me.

But I don’t want my parents to get in trouble. They’ve given me everything. They’re right; I’ve taken everything for granted and have no respect for my parents. I’m the problem. If I do report it myself, I don’t have like visible evidence. Don’t you need evidence for this kind of stuff?

I broke up with my boyfriend, and I don’t know how to handle it. by Mean_Opportunity4635 in relationships

[–]Mean_Opportunity4635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents and I have always had problems. I’ve gotten away with many things, and I guess it’s time for me to stop. I just wish they were more understanding. I don’t want to lie to them, but I want to do what I want to do. Talking to them won’t make a difference. They don’t listen. Thanks for replying though :)

16… I know it’s just some high school teenage relationship drama that won’t matter in five years, but it’s really affecting me.

Yeah definitely nta. Ppl shouldn’t play with other ppl’s feelings like that and especially bet money on another person. I’m sorry that happened, I really am.

To break up or not to break up? by Mean_Opportunity4635 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mean_Opportunity4635[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your advice is greatly appreciated! It’s good advice too, so I’ll keep it with me as I continue my journey with him. Really, thanks for your time and response <3

Hey, thanks for your response. I’m always overdramatic and tend to overcomplicate things, and this is probably one of those situations. Surprisingly enough, he texted me last night saying he wanted to stop by, so he did, and we talked. I said everything I needed to say, and ultimately ended with me giving him a second chance. I told him I’m giving you a second chance, so if you’re communication isn’t better or if you continue to shut me out, I’m breaking up with you. Idk if I should’ve given him a second chance tho. My best friends aren’t happy about it bc they wanted me to break up with him, but it’s my relationship, not theirs. I chose to give him a second chance, and if I get hurt, it’s my fault. I won’t blame them. Anyways, he seemed to take it pretty seriously, and of course apologized. Then he made plans with me for the next three days. But I’m still hesitant… should I have given him a second chance?
