  • @nicholasrui2008

    putting physics c in master tier and calc BC in rookie tier is crazy, especially when you only put BC in E tier because of the pass rate, which is high for physics c also.

    • @dipolyn
      @dipolyn Год назад +7

      Yeah and his reasoning was wack too. Nobody that takes AB will take BC cos that makes the BC test almost meaningless due to the fact that you only get an extra semester of credit for a whole years worth of work + the same AP test cost, when you could just take BC and get credit for both.

      Clearly, you haven't taken the test. I barely study STEM subjects. Calc BC just took me 15 minutes of studying the night before the test (I didn't study at all before that) while AP Physics C forced me to do 1 full practice test and 2 practice MCQs (both tests). Got 5s on all of them though.

  • @peyejon6541
    @peyejon6541 4 месяца назад +4

    Only AP I took was Calc and the actual content wasn't super hard, it's just learning the next level of math like usual. The actual difficulty of AP Calc is the test in which the difficulty comes from knowing when and where to apply what calculus depending on what it asks you. A really easy example is finding the velocity at time t, that's just finding the derivative at x=t but further into calc ab it gets much harder.

  • @SunnyBoi.
    @SunnyBoi. 3 месяца назад +4

    This really depends on the school. In our school, AP Lang and Comp is hands down the hardest AP in our school, while Physics C: Mech and Chem were actually relatively easy (and most people did really well on the AP test, including me). Calc AB and BC are also incredibly easy at our school, and the average person here gets a 5 on the AP Test for that.

    AP music theory is definitely a C or B even if you have musical experience because you have to do melodic and harmonic dictation, which isn't really stuff that you do in music classes in middle or high school. On top of that, you have to sing, which would be easy for vocalists or singers, but awful for musicians who chose to play aninstrument because they would have likely intentionally chosen not to sing. On top of that, the course is EVERYTHING music theory related starting from "this is the treble clef" to harmonic dictation. So, the bulk of the more challenging work is taught toward the latter half of the course, which means less time to study for it, unlike AP Lang where the essays can be taught in any order.

    I know it's a bit late (I hope you see this), but for the SAT (I know it's kinda off-topic) on the common app, they ask you to submit scores you wish to report. I'm aware that some schools participate in collegeboards score choice program, but even with that in mind, when I plug in the singular score I wish to submit on the common app, on the page where they summarize what you've completed, they put that 1 score under the title of "number of past SATs taken." However, I've taken 3 SATs but I chose to submit 1. Can someone (preferably someone in college at the moment) clarify that contradiction? What did you personally do? And what should I do?
