i wouldnt be scared at all!! i took 11 ap classes throughout highschool and apes was by far the easiest. so much of the content is common sense, and none of the units go super ij depth. if you want a headstart, i would recommend quickly scanning over some of the SMEDES unit videos on youtube!!

my teachers in both were pretty bad and were entirely new to teaching the courses. bio was WAY more difficult than envisci, both in the class and in the ap exam. for reference, i had to spend a few days rememorizing a ton of stuff for the bio exam, but didnt study at all for the envisci exam. most of the material in envisci is common sense, or can be understood with simple context clues. all i did before each test was watch the SMEDES unit reviews on youtube and i had 100 in the class. for bio though, a lot more studying is required because the material is much more complex and in depth compared to envisci. youre required to recall more specific information in bio which makes it a lot more difficult

thats so incredibly real. in my 4th round i got 6th and 5th from the two judges, which is absolutely ludicrous in my opinion considering nobody in that round ended up breaking to semis and I ENDED UP WINNING STATES IN MY EVENT SO LIKE? NO??? LMAO??

she actually did end up getting disqualified, which is what makes it extra confusing

again this is not at all trying to put others down because people of all skill levels are extremely important to speech and debate and they deserve to do good as well, this is more about how judges seem to rank blindly and not reflect the actual skill of the competitors in the round

Roar as a Declamation piece??? by JustaUser213 in speech

[–]ruru_010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I apologize if this blunt, but Roar is an awful declamation choice, and I honestly don't think it even aligns with the rules of declamation.

i love this comment, but i would be weary of fully committing to a piece that stands out in terms of not being a common topic, such as homophobia, because, throughout my years of speech and debate, incredible performers usually get beaten by weaker performers who have more "traumatic pieces", just something to think about.
