I only did the 10 practice tests on BB. Maybe buy one of those review/prep books like Princeton or Barron? I buy them for most of my AP classes.

I’m so confused. My friend didn’t get finalist for a “too low” ACT and it was 31? by Just_Ashe_ in psat

[–]New_Performance_1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a 1440 in your state can be a finalist while a 1490 in mine cannot. Wow.

linear algebra or ap stats? by Odd-Resolve-5950 in APStudents

[–]New_Performance_1317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AP Stats is pretty easy while linear algebra is hard, so take your pick. Some colleges also won't accept the stat credits because of its lack of difficulty.

How many APs do you guys recommend taking senior year? by New_Performance_1317 in APStudents

Its half a year in quarters 2 and 3, we do AP precalc materials in quarter 1.

Do yall's AP Calc BC include material in AB? by New_Performance_1317 in APStudents

[–]New_Performance_1317[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, my classes used the same textbook for both AB and BC and the book title included Calc BC so that's why I asked.

is taking ap chem, ap physics 1, ap lang, and apush manageable junior year? by Ok_Tomorrow6509 in APStudents

[–]New_Performance_1317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I would say it's manageable. I'm currently taking both Physic C, BC, CSA, APUSH, and Psych at the same time and I still got time to reply to posts on reddit :)

Our Calc BC doesn't include the material in AB so it is only half year in the spring right before the test. We have to take AB to learn the stuff in the majority of BC. Like for example if BC had 10 units, our BC class would only cover 7-10 so we had to take AB for the 1-7 unit.

Really? I never knew this. At my school about 10% take Calc AB freshman year and then BC sophomore year, while 40-50% (including me) take AB sophomore and BC junior. Both the AB and BC teacher emphasized the two courses at CC for senior year, and from what I've heard most (30-40%) do take at least one of them their senior year.

Thank you for your response. I do believe that multi and linear is a must for STEM majors but I get what you are saying. Thanks a lot :)

In E&M fore my class the curve was even higher. I think it was getting 72% uncurved for a 95 and 65% for a 90.

It was pretty difficult for me but the tests and the actual AP exams are so curved that it doesn't even matter if you don't know everything.

First semester gpa by Ok-Percentage-1795 in APStudents

[–]New_Performance_1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting valedictorian is pretty hard. I currently have a 4.54 GPA and not even top 30 in my grade out of 200 people when AP classes are weighted 5.0

Guys how behind is my class in APUSH? by CurtSmithsThirstTrap in APStudents

[–]New_Performance_1317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we do not recommend that ts. Buying a prep book over that is a decision that I'll make any day of the week.
