<p>I just got my schdule and it basically placed me into Intro to Calc instead of AP Calc. </p>
<p>And when I asked why? They were like either you pick AP Calc OR APUSH?</p>
<p>I don't want to take regular history because seriously, I know for a fact I won't learn ANYTHING. And I don't want to take Intro to Calc because I won't reach AP Calc BC by the end of High School.</p>
<p>WHICH SHOULD I PICK? It's like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place!??!!??!?</p>
<p>p.s. Anyone know any good online schools in Arizona where they offer AP classes?</p>
<p>You could take ones through your local community college. Some states even give free tuition to high school students doing this. You will still get credit and everything. It doesn’t even have to be through the school, you could do it after school, online, etc.</p>
<p>And when I asked why? They were like either you pick AP Calc OR APUSH?
^ OMG EXACT SAME PROBLEM HERE.
I signed up for AP English lang, chem honors, Spanish 3, AP Calc BC, APUSH, and of course, a required class for juniors.</p>
<p>I didn’t get APUSH because it’s in the exact same time slot as AP calc bc (AP Calc bc is a senior class at my school so they don’t care to make it compatible with junior schedules)</p>
<p>I might have to take regular calc so that I can take APUSH since I have to take a social studies class this year…</p>
<p>And as a result, I’ll drop from being tied for valedictorian to 5th in my class lol.</p>
<p>Mine is small and has an awful education and so dropping from 1st to 5th would mean a drop from the .7 percentile to barely being in the top 5 percentile rofl. And the fact that it’s extremely easy to get a 4.0 here doesn’t make my situation any better. xDD</p>
<p>I’m probably going to end up taking an AP class online to make up for it or try to see if I can take a class without actually having to attend the class. o3o (like borrowing notes from others, doing the reading, taking the tests and doing the assignments, getting a grade etc… is this even possible? LOL)</p>
<p>Scheduling conflicts really suck, don’t they? -<strong>-
My best friend, who goes to a different school, has a conflict where stupid RELIGION gets in the way of AP Chem. Oh man, she is going to fight long and hard to get AP Chem.
My school is really small, and I think most of the AP classes only have one period (the case for all 4 of my APs except for Lang). I couldn’t get Honors Physics and had to replace it with 2 semester-long art classes instead (I like art, but still). So I have to find an online class for that too. u</strong>u’</p>
<p>RELIGION gets in the way of AP Chem. Oh man, she is going to fight long and hard to get AP Chem.
^ OMG LOL SAME HERE-that’s what happened to me last year sort of.
I had to take theology (required to take it for two trimesters every year) so I had to give up several honors classes and other requirements to graduate. This year, I’m going to see if I can convince my school counselor to let me self-study but take the same tests/assignments as everyone else and get a grade for the class without having to kill an hour a day that I could be using to take other classes lol.</p>
<p>@gomdorri: I’d so self-study theology if I could. I don’t really pay attention at all anyway… we fill out a review sheet with questions that are going to be on the test a few days before the test. I just studied from that list of questions and do nothing else, and I got A+'s (well, I have to get A+'s in theology if I want a 4.0 for that class, my school has a weird grading system where an A in an honors class is a 4.0 and an A+ is a 4.25, and you have to get an A+ in an AP class to get a /4.5/ lolol. We don’t do unweighted, but this weighting system doesn’t really give much weight to anything o<strong>o I guess it doesn’t matter much as long as I take all the hardest classes and get A’s, though). I’d basically draw or try to do other work, until the teacher caught on in the middle of year. ></strong>__>
They /are/ expensive. D; I’ll find a way…</p>
<p>I had to pick between Japanese and Journalism a few days ago, both are my two favorite classes. I picked Japanese even though Journalism is like my best EC. I could also drop Comp Gov to take Journalism but I really want to take Comp Gov so no. Now I have AP Lit.</p>
<p>@starlily: SAME. All we have been doing in theology for the past 4 years is killing time. The teacher gives us notes for like, 10 minutes, and the rest of the time we have to talk with our friends, hang out, do homework for other classes, etc LOL. I never studied for tests until the moment class started (we get a 5 minute study period before each test) and I still got 100’s because the tests were so easy-and repetitive. xD</p>
<p>And that’s weird lol. at my school, a regular class A would be a 4.0 (and that’s a 90-100+), and an AP/honors class A would be a 5.0. </p>
<p>Can’t you self-study and ask if you can get credit/a grade for the class based on what you get on the AP exam?</p>
<p>@CSIHSIS: That sucks. My school doesn’t have a class for the newspaper, so I can just work on it during lunch and outside of school. I’m jealous that you have Japanese as a language at your school, none of the schools around here have that.</p>
<p>@gomdorri: xDDD The people in my theology class love to mess around with the teacher, like sometimes a person randomly hides somewhere in the room. I wish that were the case with our class though, she gives notes most of the class using PowerPoint and you’ll basically be given a demerit if you’re doing something completely different. People love to ask dumb questions and stall time, though.
My friend actually wanted to see if she could self-study Music Theory and Chinese and get a grade for getting a 5 on each one to boost her GPA, but I doubt they’d let her do that. They don’t even count classes taken outside of school for credit, apparently. :<</p>
<p>Even though we absolutely SUCK and we don’t have any advanced classes, we are still going to act like we have everything. Our students cannot sign up with ANY online schools except this one (which is like for remedial classes). And we don’t want zero hour so advance kids can’t take some extra classes. Then we cry for budget cuts, which means cuts to all AP classes. But sports. WE LIKE SPORTS. SO NO CUTTING</p>
<p>I’m taking regular Calculus. I could’ve taken AP, but I decided not to because I’m not that great at math and I have to deal with 3 other AP classes anyway.</p>
<p>Anyway, yeah. I had a schedule conflict and couldn’t take Spanish 4 or Philosophy, so instead I have to take Filmmaking 2 (I hated Filmmaking 1).</p>
