Taking these AP exams okay?

<p>I was wonder if it was possible for me to do all of these AP exams.</p>

<p>AP English Language and Composition
AP USH
AP Calc BC
AP Physics B
AP Physics C E/M and Mechanics (Self-Study)
AP Chemistry (Retake, since i did poorly. So going to work slowly on this, building on my prior knowledge)</p>

<p>These 7 AP Tests, but 1 i already know, would it be feasible?
And how much effort would be needed to get at least a 4 on everything, except Calc which i need a 5/5 with AB subscore?</p>

<p>Anyone? T.T</p>

<p>It’s not feasible.</p>

<p>Its possible and it has been done. If you are a math/ science person you should not have too much trouble but if its your senior year I would not suggest it. I would take 5 AP exams, max not 7.</p>

<p>Maybe pick one or the other Physics C, because those two on top of physics B would be difficult. Physics is something to wrap your head around, and physics B introduces you to tons of new topics and ways of thinking. My brain changed a lot during that course. Physics C involves taking physics to the next level of mathematics. Learning all 3 would be a lot, a lot, of physics. Though I can’t stop you!</p>

<p>All of them in one year? T_T</p>

<p>If this helps any, I took AP Physics B, AP Physics C: Mech, AP Physics C: E&M, AP Biology, AP Calculus BC, and AP Literature, and got 5s on all of them (except for lit, but I didn’t care). It’s totally possible. Heck, I could’ve added European History and Statistics to it, but I never got into the classes at school due to scheduling conflicts, and I didn’t feel like self-studying (I was already self-studying/teaching both Physics C exams anyway, though that was’t until a couple of weeks before exams). I already had a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam from junior year, but I actually thought about taking it again, just to take it again. Then again, I am a natural sciences type person, so I was pretty confident on all the exams. </p>

<p>Nonetheless, go for it. If you can put in the time, it’s possible.</p>

<p>There’s no need to take all 3 AP Physics exams in one year. If you feel ready enough for AP Physics C, then drop AP Physics B. If you want to take AP Physics B anyways, then just hold off on AP Physics C until next year. Colleges don’t give credit to most STEM majors for taking AP Physics B anyways.</p>

<p>I am going to be a Junior and taking these classes next year. Plus, i will forget my physics that i learned if i try to continue a class the next year on.</p>

<p>I love myself math and science, I heard that Physics was heavy math based more so than chem, so I think it would be fun lol.</p>

<p>Since i am taking the physics B class might as well do the test.</p>

<p>AP English Language and Composition - English classes are whatever. The course isn’t really structured and you don’t really retain anything you learn in the class. Essay writing is a big deal. If you’re good at essays, a 4/5 isn’t hard. You’re going to end up cramming the test-relevant material (content of the novels/plays you’re read, lit devices, blah blah) like a month before the test. I personally didn’t take Lang (just Lit - not the exam though because it was a waste of my time), but all my friends got 4/5s and they’re not exactly rocket scientists.
Effort required for 4: 3/10</p>

<p>AP USH - Straight out of the book - although a lot of material - and very straightforward. I suggest reading the Brinkeley book throughout the year since it has absolutely everything it, and then brush up using the AMSCO book a couple of days before the test. A lot of people say it’s hard, but they’re just lazy and don’t take the time to read. An easy 5 for me, and I’m not exactly a humanities person. I averaged like a 5 out of 9 on the essays since I suck at writing, but the MC was a breeze (and should be a breeze if you read the damn books thoroughly).
Effort required for 4: 5/10</p>

<p>AP Calc BC - If you have a good teacher, it should be fine. If you can’t, you’re out of luck since studying for math out of a book is the boringest thing ever. Personally took AB (wish I took BC since you legit learn like 2 things in AB…), but my friends who took BC didn’t have too much trouble since they had a great teacher.
Effort required for 5/5: depends on your teacher</p>

<p>AP Physics B - Didn’t take and only close with one friend who took it, but having glanced at his PR book, it looks a lot like my honors physics class I took junior year, lol. Moderate amount of material, but not conceptually hard. Not nearly as mathy as C, and no calculus.
Effort required for a 4: 5/10</p>

<p>AP Physics C E/M and Mechanics (Self-Study): A lot of application and problem solving. Since you struggled in Chem, I do not recommend C as you will die. Chem was a joke to me, but I nearly died in C (I did get 5s, but 99% of the class time consisted of me being terribly confused…) Less material than B, but a lot more in depth and calculus-orientated. Compliments BC though. With that said, 5s (most colleges only take 5s for C) are not that difficult (I think about half the kids gets 5s) since the curve is ridiculous. For class exams, the uncurved average was almost always in the 40%-50% range, but about half the kids in my class ended up with a 5 on at least on of the tests. Self-studying will be a pain in the ass - warning: you’ll scratch your head every other paragraph in your book as I have. Don’t take both B and C. Like SteelTrap said, most colleges take C credit, and not the B. I recommend you take C your senior year after you’ve got your BC down. Go ahead and take B, and then C your senior year, though. They’re two separate courses with different material, so if you forget everything you learned in B by senior year, it won’t even matter lol.
Effort required for a 5: 9/10</p>

<p>AP Chemistry: Not difficult; simple calculations, but some of the theoretical stuff can be a pain to grasp. If your teacher sucks, it’s on you to read up on your textbook.
Effort required for a 4: 6/10</p>

<p>To sum it up, APUSH, Lang, and B very manageable, but you might want to reconsider C since you struggled with Chem, and take AB before BC if you know your BC teacher isn’t that particularly great.</p>

<p>Naw, my BC teacher is supposed to be one of the best in the district, or so ive heard. Literally having 80~ish % rate for 4 or a 5 with only 1 student in his 20 years getting a lower score lol.</p>

<p>For AP Chem i only struggled because i studied like a week before, pretty much being lazy throughout the year :stuck_out_tongue: <-------------- I think i can do it if i fix this. Plus, i didnt even pay attention in class half the time, practically sleeping throughout the notes and lessons. Only learning when i did my HW or like the practice tests before our chapter tests. Still managed an A with my teacher having a history of being one of the hardest at my school. (But the thing is that, I pratically managed a B or low A on the conceptual sutff, BUT usually got an A on math related problems. Usually my FRQs were the thing that balanced me out for the A not the MC. Our Chapter tests consisted of MCs and FRQs, so yeah lol.)</p>

<p>Like the problem with me is that, I can tons of things, but 99% of the time i play video games watch youtube etc… </p>

<p>So i guess, its really disciplining my myself… Thanks for the help guys :D</p>
