Surviving AP Classes in JR year?

<p>Help me out here.
Taking a 4th year lang. class, 3 APs,</p>

<p>I want to get a 4.0 and still have a little fun. Tell me things you did to survive and get good grades.</p>

<p>Thats a pretty soft schedule btw.</p>

<p>A 4.0 should be cake.</p>

<p>I suggest no procrastination. That is about all you need.</p>

<p>it sounds so boring, but do your best to spread things out [within reason.] i.e. if you know you’ve got a test friday over chapter x, start reading sunday or monday [any earlier and you usually get diminishing returns], if you don’t already</p>

<p>also, paying attention in class and developing a liking for the material you’re supposed to learn makes things much easier</p>

<p>@advanced Lawls: haha … I am not the typical CC user who has 6 APS</p>

<p>I got 4 APs and 3 Honors but teachers are crazy. Only 7 ppl got A’s in AP world and last year only 4 ppl took AP chem</p>

<p>Ruff Ryder: Legit? I’m taking AP World and everyday I’m like, wow, this class is a joke. I wish my class were like yours. I wonder how the SAT II compares to the AP exam.</p>

<p>Anyway OP, yeah, DON’T PROCRASTINATE. As we say at my school, the only class where you can procrastinate is Latin, because it’s derivative (pro=for, cras=tomorrow). It’s honestly pretty much the best way to mess yourself up. You’ll start your homework one Sunday night a few weeks into the year and realize the amount of work you have to do could never, ever fit into the time you have, even if you don’t sleep a wink. So just don’t get into it. I am an absolute hypocrite telling you this, but I think those of us who are the worst procrastinators know the most about just how bad it is.</p>

<p>I can;t give you more specific advice without knowing the APs. So, I’ll just say lang is generally easy, don’t freak about it and concentrate on your APs.</p>

<p>SAT II world I hear is harder. The teacher was so hard lots of ppl ended up wit 5’s but for SAT IIs range was like 650-750. Our world history programs is messed up because the hard teacher is the coach of the basketball team but he grades everything strictly especially DBQs and Essays. While at the same time, we had another teacher who was actually a professional basketball player (Bucks) and he wasn’t as hard and ppl ended up with A’s and 5’s on the AP test. After the AP test his class played ping pong and xbox 360 every day</p>

<p>also if you’re feeling stressed out, take a 20 min break or so because if you start freaking out… not good.
and stress causes a) acne. b) weight gain.
SO DONT STRESS. or like the person above said, don’t procrastinate</p>
