<p>@Spiral7 I’ve used Khan Academy, and for math I only did badly because I took the first quiz today and I just wasn’t all there…it’ll buff out later.</p>
<p>As for lit I have this insane teacher who’s like harder than all the rest and grades like mad. Like seriously, I haven’t even taken an AP English course yet, and AP Lang, a junior class, is easier than this.</p>
<p>Like I know I’ll get an A in pre-Calc by the end of the semester, and I can probably manage As in all my other classes if I keep up my work ethic, but I just don’t know if I can get an A in lit. Not necessarily because I think I’m incapable, but because of this teacher’s reputation and the long history of very few people who get As.</p>
<p>@Yakisoba At my school AP Lang is for sophomores and AP Lit is for juniors. So maybe it’s supposed to be harder.</p>
<p>But I’m scared now. The teacher told us that if we got an A or B in Pre-AP English last year we’ll probably get a C in this class and I really don’t want that. I know that reading more will help me with my English skills so I guess I have to read a lot so I can get an A.</p>
<p>The teacher assigned a response to a article we read to be due on Monday! As if I didn’t already have enough weekend homework! And it’s with a partner which most people liked but I don’t because our partner was just the person who sat next to us and I didn’t even know the guy and he said he’d email me his part of the essay today but he hasn’t and I don’t know his last name so I can’t look him up on the school email system so I don’t know what to do! I guess I’ll just wait until Sunday and if he hasn’t emailed me I’ll just write the rest myself. Wow, that was a long sentence.</p>
<p>Our is:
9th Regular or Pre-AP English
10th Regular or AP English Language
11th Regular or AP English Lit or AP English Language or IB HL English Year 1
12th Regular or AP English Lit or AP English Language or Expository Writing or IB SL English Year 1 or IB HL English Year 2</p>
<p>I have never heard of Debate class… what is it exactly?
That’s amazing you are soooo ahead in math!
I have never heard of the science class either.
I’m also taking Chinese 2 Honors!</p>
<p>Are there any Social Studies, or English classes you can take?</p>
<p>First day of school was today! My first three teachers seem pretty good, but I haven’t formed an opinion on my fourth teacher yet. My fifth period teacher is really rude, and my sixth period teacher… Well, to say the least, he’s… strange. He spent half the period talking about how he went to this school before us and how he went to West Point and how his sons went there… He tries to be funny (he’s not).</p>
<p>First day of school!!!
I made JV Volleyball!!
Now… how to manage this with 1+ Hours of Homework a night in Honors Bio… EVERY NIGHT NO EXCEPTIONS…and 6 more classes ;( plus club leadership… and we are STILL looking for an adviser for yearbook… does our school not want a yearbook? Like, what is this?!</p>
<p>@topaz1116 I have similar classes too!! And I do colorguard as well.some people these days dont know what colorguard is- well at least in my area:’(</p>
<p>My schedule:
Honors Soph Composition
Developing Leadership
Band
Spanish 4
Pre-Calc
Ap World History
Ap Physics 1</p>
<p>For some reason I feel like I’m not taking enough AP’s… does anyone know if taking 8 AP’s by the end of junior year is good? Im a sophomore…and I still need 5 more.</p>
<p>^If you’re doing that for National AP Scholar (which, I have no doubt you are), then it <em>does</em> look good, but it’s <em>not</em> really an application boost. Many people have the award, and if you have other awards, it’s relatively useless.</p>
<p>Okay, so Newspaper is really fun but stressful… I’m already having anxiety over interviewing and story ideas. It doesn’t help that I’m socially awkward and introverted as it is and I perceive most of the other staff members as these flawless popular gods and goddesses who are probably on College Confidential because they’re also ridiculous overachievers (with A+ social lives) … We’re one of the top four newspapers in our state so we have a bunch of regulations and processes and I’m excited yet dead inside. LOL. </p>
