AP Computer Science

<p>Any of you guys taking this? How are you guys dealing with it? I find it extremely difficult. Any tips on improving?</p>

<p>What other classes are you guys finding tough this year?</p>

<p>im thinking of taking the course online since my school doesnt offer but i have a second thought because im thinking its going to be hard</p>

<p>I'm taking it right now. It's a new concept to me, and I definitely struggled to learn the basics (the concept of "class" took me a looong time). I find that reading the book (a lot) really helps on tests. As for programs, I tend to write out the process from what I know to what I want to find. My friends help a lot. </p>

<p>I took the easy ap's this year (in my opinion). I had the preconceived notion that science aps are going to be such a step up from honors classes. Naah, they're lame, mostly. </p>

<p>Tough classes are those in which you challenge yourself. I spent a ridiculous amount of time on english this past semester because 1) english is my weakest subject (contrary to my psat results -_-) 2)the teacher is intimidating 3) I think the teacher secretly hates me.</p>

<p>^ lol on the third one</p>

<p>Fluffy1: Are you sure the sciences are easy?</p>

<p>Try taking a practice test. The course can be deceiving sometimes...
(Sorry, it's just brother had a bad experience - 3 in Biology)</p>

<p>AP CS is not an easy class. Fun, yes! Easy, no! be prepared to work in this class. lots of things could be deceiving when u first try to comprehend it. You will understand all the concepts eventually.</p>

<p>I can't speak for physics but bio, chem and comp sci are easy classes for me at my school. The majority of our ap kids do get fives, so I think this just reflects my personal strengths as opposed to the teachers' weaknesses. English ap, on the other hand, I can't think about without flinching (oh the non-stop essays). </p>

<p>A note about bio. Our school's ap bio curriculum takes 4 semesters, yeah... I'm taking 1 and self-studying the rest. Side note: my bio teacher is amazing. (I was so gonna write he was so nice when I slept with him) I mean that when I traveled with him for science fair, he's really nice at night (still kinda creepy..). He would call and say good night and bring food etc. </p>

<p>I'm actually signing up for ap physics with trepidation because I've heard horror stories of that class. But how much worse can it be than college courses in the sciences?</p>

<p>^ that's creepy about sleeping with bio teacher but i know what u mean so ur okay</p>
