APUSH and Chem are killing me. ugh.. and I'm getting so discouraged because I haven't been doing so well on my tests either. T-T

I am not liking AP Physics at all.
except for the teacher.
=/

[uninfatuated]

for those that have taken AP chinese last year, what do you think the curve is for the test? how much do you think you have to score inorder to get a 5, 4, or 3?

stupid collegeboard didn't even post up this year's grade distributions. how stupid.

AP World History is so hard. So much reading and everything starts look and sound the same if you read over an hour. T_T I have an average of a C and the teacher is a nice guy, but uses a lot of scare tactics on us.

AP physics. UGH. x________x

its about 3 weeks into school & my teacher seems like she.... only sits. and says sarcastic, mean things to us.
we had to do a lab the first day of class..and the actual AP lab online was explained in over 4 pages... she condensed it to 4 bullets. wtf.

we dont even have our own textbooks cause they went MIA around the school, she says -_________-
..we have a class set of 10 so we all have to share books just to do hw problems..freakin ghetto. and she doesnt teach cause she wants to 'see how much we know' about all this stuff.. o_O i think about 2/5 of the class dropped out already cause of this..

I took AP French 4&5 which was not to great because my teacher didn't teach very well. But, she was a nice lady... I think.

I also did AP Comp Sci 1&2. That was definitely a challenge, but, as long as you work hard [like one should], then it was okay. XD

[xJOOLiAA<3]

AP Econ is sooooooo freakinnnnn harddddddddddddddddddddddd.

I bombed my first test, I think I had the lowest score in the class.

[Soochi]

APUSH sucks x___x Another quiz tomorrow just after a day, I failed my first quiz =P
The reading every night is just horrible. I read, yet nothing sinks in @.@

Oh yeah. Most people get bad grades the first time on their AP tests and essays (and some jump ship as soon as they see anything less than a "B"), but the AP test format is nothing like you're usual "there's only one best multiple choice answer." The first few tests and essays are hard, but as you advance in the class, they'll become easier as you develop analytical and better, and faster, writing skills.

Please do not drop your class. I'm not saying that you will, but I have been telling some junior friends of mine all week, "DON'T DROP YOUR AP CLASS" because they're freaking out about failing. All of us in this thread have gone through the pain that is the first AP class and tests, and we survived it.

yeah, i was one of the people who dropped ap lang and comp., and this was all during the first week of school. luckily, my friend talked me out of it and i managed to keep the class. i think it's because this is my first ap class i'm taking so i'm kinda freaked out. it's not too bad although i feel like i'm the only one in the class having a hard time D: my teacher's good though so thank god for that.

i'm a junior and ap lang. is my first ap ever. i was supposed to take ap psych and ap ush but due to some circumstances, i can't take it until next year...and that ruins my whole schedule i planned out ㅡ_ㅡ i feel like i'm behind because most juniors already took like 4 aps at my school. crazy...

man, i hope i get better at this.

[illneverletyougo]

ap economics is ERGHHH.
the TEACHER cannot teach.
for our first test, my grade was the second highest in the class and that was a frikken 78!!!
the person that scored the highest was an 80. wtf...

[cyberfruit]

^ Okay, that was a test. What's there to be upset about?

[rockydonnatelli]

I cant believe I just got a .5/8 on my chem test. I cant believe it.

[random azn]

.5? as half a point? its okay, i swear these tests are made to make us feel stupid.

[rockydonnatelli]

yes a half of a point. that just put me in depression mode.

i did the worse out of my whole class. and my friend didnt make me feel better either. she was complaining that she fail. she got a 5/8 better than mine.

[hyeminnie]

i am so dead in AP world hist.
i have a 5 page book review and i want to read about the Peloponnesian War (need to read about events from 4000 BCE to 1000 AD).

any advice on how to read an AP world hist text book in 3 months?
my teacher told me to read it like you would a mystery book. read the first paragraph and get the thesis and then read the conclusion and then read the middle to get the points.

[Alexiel]

Has anyone taken the AP Psychology test? My school doesn't offer that class, so I'm thinking about taking the regular class and studying from an AP book to take the test. Any tips?

[cyberfruit]

AP Gov is kicking my ass.

AP Calc BC for me. x_X

Seriously, Pre-calc Honors last year was such a breeze. I got 100% and 97% without much effort.

This year I'm currently at a 78% and the book makes no sense. Need to get one of those guide books >.>
