<p>What was the length of homework assignments?? what was a typical homework assignment?</p>
<p>you should probably ask someone from your school who has taken these courses to answer your questions best. </p>
<p>best i guess i'll still answer your questions. </p>
<p>AP Calc (AB?) - homework every night (weekends). about 10-15 problems that were challenging. towards the end of April we took practice tests as homework. 5. </p>
<p>AP USH - read. read. read. occasional paper/DBQ. 5. </p>
<p>i'm going to be honest. both of my classes did not require a lot of my time. 30-60 minutes a night each. however, i think it depends on your teacher. mine taught well.</p>
<p>ap calc - not much (10-15 problems, some (not all) were kind hard)
macro - homework every night; none were hard
USH - alot of homework</p>
<p>AP STATS - Around 40 minutes of homework every night. Near the AP exams we had around 2 hrs of homework per night.</p>
<p>AP MacroECON - Not much, but lots of readings to do.</p>
<p>AP USH - I tell you, you'll die reading the American Pageant. Around 45 minutes of pure reading each day, but I procrastinated.</p>
<p>thanks .... i was also considering to ap environmental science... do any of you know the workload in that at your school
?</p>
<p>AP US was a huge amount of work. Tons of reading every night. Really hard tests. Papers. Just hard. It could be different at your school.</p>
<p>AP Stat is really not very hard. Just do the homework and you'll be fine.</p>
<p>AP CALC: homework every night. you could easily bs or copy during class though. also, you can turn in homework as late as you want for full credit.
AP STATS: homework every night. 2-5 problems. I always finished in class during the lecture.
AP MacroECON: our school doesn't have this class
AP USH: easy. assigned reading of 1-2 chapters from the textbook a week.</p>
<p>APUSH- Absolute joke.</p>
<p>It depends on your teacher, no teacher is the same.</p>
<p>AP Calc - two hour long assignments each week, a test every 3-4 weeks</p>
<p>AP US - two chapters from American Pageant each week (two hour read the night before the test), notes if you didn't get an A on the previous test, a few other menial assignments mixed in</p>
<p>AP Calc (BC)- an hour's worth of homework every night...random homework participation checks (so you pretty much had to do it every night). 5.
AP Stat- half hour's " " " " ". 5.
AP US- About a half hour to an hour reading every night, plus take home tests and chapter outlines. 5.</p>
<p>AP enviro - This was the hardest class I had this year (I took 5 APs this year). Contrary to popular belief, enviro can be really hard if you had a teacher with a record of having all of his students get 5s on the exam. Even though mostly seniors take this class, they all get 5s although they struggle in the class due to senioritis. The AP exam was a complete joke though. This can be really hard to self-study, I'd not recommend it.</p>
<p>AP Calc (AB) - first semester was pretty hard, but we finished all the AP material by March so we just chilled second semester.</p>
<p>AP USH - easy. Read and study and you will be fine.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB - The teacher assigned homework every night, but she hardly ever checked it. She gave us worksheets every now and then, but they were for practice.</p>
<p>AP Macroecon - Lots and lots of graphing assignments. I hated econ. lol</p>
<p>AP USH - I had to do multiple assignments every week - an outline (usually ten pages typed), a zinn journal response, a DBQ or FRQ, key terms, and document analysis or whatever. There was more too, but I can't remember exactly what it was. It was A LOT of work though.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB: 10-25 problems, dependent on difficulty of them. Tests every 4 weeks, occasionally quizzes in the middle. Getting an A was too easy, I think, because of how grades were weighted.</p>
<p>APUSH: Tons of reading every night, which I got through in 15-30 minutes, and most people an hour (I read fast). For the first two trimesters, there were quizzes daily on the reading to catch those who didn't read, so you couldn't skip it. We had tests every 4-5 weeks, with an MC and essay section on separate days. We also had random DBQs and essays. No notes, though.</p>
<p>APUSH was a real pain in the rear at my school (which is in the top 200 of NewsWeek magazin). We had to read around 25 pages per night from the "America Pageant" textbook and do notes on them (the notes had to be roughly 2 pages front and back in length with vocabulary/terms). We would have a quiz not open note over the section we read every 1-2 days. Pretty much every other week was a multiple choice test along with a FRQ/DBQ over an unknown prompt.
trust me it was a real pain
PLUS we had worksheets over ridiculously stupid stuff. My teacher just wanted to give us busy work but i guess all the work did pay off because i felt the APUSH test was easy.</p>
<p>APUSH - about an hour of reading each night. We had really hard tests about once every 2 weeks and a quiz every week. All of our tests were multiple choice
AP Stats - ummmm, i think that we even had hw but it was so short. We just went over stuff in class. Towards the AP test, he assigned us free response questions to do but overall, there was probably less than 20 minutes worth of work each night</p>
<p>macroecon: Not very hard at all. We never got more than 15 minutes of homework in a given night, and we only got homework 2 or 3 times a week. They gave us a college level book, but I didn't read it much, just skimmed it every once in a while. We had a very good teacher did AP problems with us together as a class almost every day, and i'm pretty sure anyone who payed attention in class passed the test. Me: 4 on test A in class.</p>
<p>AP stats: Did not take, but those who did told me it wasn't very difficult at all. They got a fair amount of homework, but it all looked pretty easy and most of my friends ended up doing well in it. I only know one friend who got his test score back, he got an A- in class 5 on test (he's kind of lazy too).</p>
<p>Calc AB: Really not a surprising amount of work if you've taken honors math classes before. My H. trig class actually had more homework. The content is fairly hard to grasp at first, and there is a fair amount of reading involved to grasp it well. The teacher made difficult quizzes, but often curved them. I would say, if you're fairly good at math and you've had some good math teaching beforehand, you should be fine. A LOT of kids failed this class because they had never taken an advanced math class before, and weren't really ready. Me: 5 on test b + first semester a- second semester in class.</p>
<p>AP Calc, BC and AB are pretty rigorous at my school. BC students can't be on a team or in a club because theres so much homework. They stay till about 7:00 every day for tutoring and 3:00 on weekends. But it's all worth it in the end. Last years passing rate for AB was 100% and for BC, 98% of the class passed the AP exam and OF THOSE who passed, 98% of them got 5's.</p>
<p>^is putting that much time into one class really worth it?? i got a 5 on the AB exam from going to class every day, homework for 30 min., and having a good teacher lol.</p>
<p>AP Calc -
Homework Everyday. In class Assignments. As we got closer to the test date, we took about 4 exams timed.
This is talking about a teacher whose students get 4's and 5's. To make an A in our Calc AB class is pretty hard! only 1 our of about 20 or so. or maybe 1 or 2 in each class get A's.</p>
