11 APs goddamn I could notttt
ooop... 🤭 💙
11 APs is 2+3+4+2 (I'm gonna kill myself in junior year lmao)
THIS EDITING HAS ME DYING PLS THE PHYSICS PART, but thank you so much for this vid I'm an upcoming sophomore and I wanted to get more insight about AP classes, feeling overwhelmed but hopefully I can take AP world history, Honors English, Algebra 2, AP bio, Spanish, and probably AP human geography though im not 100% sure. I don't know if I should be taking so much for my first time, any advice, tips?
awww thank you so much!! it really does mean a lot!! i would say maybe stick to like 1-3 aps if it's your first time. it's really up to you and how you balance school with other activities and stuff!! 💙
FUBUKI
@@evangrove599 Thank you so much! This was helpful, I didn't sign up for human
@@em-im1jt human is horrible
KRABS CYCLE HAS ME DEAD
ahah... oop 😶 💙
the physics part gave me ptsd and i didn't even take it
ahah... it'z wild... 😌 💙
ME TOO
So basically I finished AP Physics 1 with a 96 last year. I understood basically everything in that class as it was being taught so it was super easy. The only thing is that no one else in my class did. There was one topic where everyone else understood it and I didn't but that was like a 30 minute lesson. The general pattern I've noticed is that I suck at everything that everyone else is good at and I'm great at everything that everyone else sucks at. That includes other classes too. Any "easy A" classes to me are hard and all of the "hard" classes are pretty easy. I also have ADHD so I don't know how much that affects it. My point is, if you're in a similar position to me, you'll probably do well in AP Physics. It's certainly not for everyone, but it is for some people, so if you're really interested in it, I'd say go for it. It was by far my favorite class in high school.
💙💙💙
what does this even mean but how can you suck at every other people are good at
as a current hs junior, here's my ranking on josh's scale based on my ap experience:
red: chem (to be fair i had a really bad teacher and transferred classes)
orange: none so far
yellow: apush and world history
green: human geo (my teacher was scary)
blue: psych and lang
next year i'm taking stats, literature, gov, econ and euro
I’m taking euro this year and I would put it in the yellow. There’s a lot that you need to remember and it’s confusing with all the kings and all the obscure things you have to remember. It’s a ton of work but if you love history it should be a blast!! Good luck 🤗
me as a stem major having no idea how complex history is: 👁 👄 👁
im required to take apush and an extra history class next year bc of this program im doing. i chose world history ap, is this a bad idea?
@@sophiaburgueno7056 depends what year I would say. If it’s in later years I would say maybe AP European history since at my school AP World History is mostly for freshman and sophomores. Not to discourage you at all, just something to keep in mind if it’s the same at your school. I find it easier to connect with my peers when they’re the same grade, and mostly juniors and seniors take AP European History, but if you’ll be a sophomore next year I say you can pick either!! Good luck in choosing ☺️
@@sophiaburgueno7056 I don't think so, it's manageable especially if you like history. the reason I ranked it yellow is bc there's a lot of different areas you have to know and the timeline is pretty long (1200 - 1900s) but a lot of the more recent events will probably be covered in apush too
I find it so interesting how you didn’t find the AP Calc classes that hard meanwhile I got a C in precalc😭 but i got an A in APUSH so my priorities show here 😂
ooooop... 🤭 but you go slay with apushhh ✌🏾
i worked my ass off in ap physics and I got an 84 in that class :/
FELLTTTT.... me spending 15 hours studying for something and getting a C on an exam 🙃
literally mentor me in ap calc ab
ahah the way i'm currently struggling with calc in college... 🤭 😪
hiiii so im a high school senior and ive taken 16 aps so far- i have so many issues but at least i have high gpa right.... anyways heres my rankings from 1 (hardest) to 16 (easiest) and my grades on the AP test:
1. AP Physics C: Mech (4)
2. AP Physics C: E&M (n/a)
3. AP Bio (5)
4. AP Lit (3)
5. AP Calc AB (4)
6. AP Seminar (4)
7. AP Calc BC (n/a)
8. AP Lang (5)
9. AP Chem (4)
10. AP Gov (n/a)
11. AP Spanish (5)
12. AP Human Geography (3)
13. AP World History: Modern (4)
14. AP Stats (n/a)
15. AP Research (n/a)
16. AP Computer Science Principles (n/a)
ooooohhhh you slay with all those scores that are higher than mineee 👑🥲
@@JoshBenzon ima take like 6 tests in a couple weeks and ive onlt studied for physics and gov :D * pain *
omg good luckkkk!!! 💙
what happened with human geo
My rankings of the APs I took now that I’m done Highschool:
Red: Physics C and BC calc
Physics C you already explained pretty well, but for me, BC calc caused me more suffering than any other class I’ve taken before. That might’ve been because my teacher absolutely rushed us and we finished the entire class in the first two mps though. Tbf, she did a good job anyway and I got a 5.
Orange: Lit, APUSH, Euro
There’s not much I can say for lit other than I had a terrible teacher. For APUSH and Euro, I’m just not great at history and there was a lot to memorize.
Yellow: Chem, Lang, Calc AB
I found chem pretty fun, so it wasn’t too terrible to learn. I actually didn’t do great in the class, but I rushed through the AP test, had time to check everything, and still had time to take a nap and I got a 5. Lang was a decent amount of work, but we did enough preparation that the test wasn’t terrible even though I kinda hate english classes. AB calc was pretty hard for me, but then again I skipped so much of my homework I’m surprised I even got a 4.
Green: bio, stat, french
I took accelerated honors bio my freshman year and then AP my senior year, but the class was taught by the same teacher and honestly felt almost exactly the same both times through. I maybe took two days worth of notes and I got a 5. The math in stat really wasn’t hard, it was mostly the writing explanations that gave me some trouble. As for french, I skipped so much of my homework I should not have passed the class but my teacher was too nice. Plus my parents speak french and I already speak spanish so it wasn’t too hard to learn.
Blue: gov, human geo
I may as well have not taken gov this year tbh. I did not pay one bit of attention, did not study, and still did pretty well in the class and got a 3 on the test. As for human geo, I think part of it was my teacher was great and literally spent the whole year preparing us for the test, but part of it is also that a lot of the concepts are really intuitive. I got a 5 and only got maybe 2 homework assignments the entire year.
omgg u dropped this 👑 with all your 4s and 5s 💅🏽
Why am I here? I'm in college rn
AHAHAH 😅💙
The freshmen at my school have the choice to take AP bio instead of bio honors, but I personally didn't and plan to take it sophomore year. But, I heard it was very hard for them and many of them did not even finish the frq. But, they still got A's throughout the course by sharing answers. But, next year they are not allowing freshmen to take AP bio since they were super behind in the course load. I am little scared but I'm hoping for the best haha
i also constantly hate on ap art i HATE IT rn and i love art in itself. it’s all hard deadlines for me and it’s so stressful to manage with my other classes. and the SI makes me feel closed it by the theme
I was going to self-study for ap bio and calculus bc this year because nothing is offered in my school as a sophomore. RIP TO ME I GUESS
now that's a big OOOOOOOF 🙃
I signed up to take ap calc ab and ap physics 1 at the same time next year. I think I’m going to regret that decision
that's a big OOOOOOF!!! but good luck thooo 💙💙💙
I took WHAP last year and I still got a 4 on the ap exam, but idk if it was my teacher or maybe lack of effort but that class is a solid orange for me personally idk if anyone could agree lol *forgot to mention the insane amount of pages per week!!!
omg omg this video is EVERYTHINGGG lmao im a freshman and im taking ap physics and ap bio this year but im doing online so its not that bad haha, but still ap physics makes me wanna dieeeee
eye-- ap phsycis as a FRESHAMNN??? you already way ahead of the game!! imagine being smart as you 😪
I'm taking both AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics
Stats is definitely easier in terms of math but a fuckton of writing
Calc BC is very hard tho
You're so funny and I think this is by far my favorite AP tier list video, because this video was very engaging and it offered lots of insight that I can use for future reference! Definitely subscribing, thank you for the video :))
ahahah omg thank you so much!!! this means so much bc this low key was the LONGEST video to film and edit 🥺 💙
In my opinion AP calculus BC can be self studied. As a sophomore in high school I can understand it easily with the help of Khan Academy.
😭 where are you going to school that you’re taking calculus as a sophomore?
Nope nope nope nope nope. AP Chem is by FAR in the red tier.
ahah it prob is tbh, but my professor made it pretty fun and sometimes... "easy" (i say that with quotes bc i legit was still lost 90% of the time) 😅 💙
Do you recommend taking AP Chem with a prior chem class, or can you still do well in that class by just self-studying?
@@madisonl.607 definitely with a prior class for sure. AP Chem is a very difficult class, according to most people it is in the top 3 hardest of all APs. To put it basically, I took a regular Chem class because my school requires it as a pre req before AP, but I had a terrible teacher and learned nearly nothing. AP Chem has been extremely difficult, because I feel like a kindergartener trying to do grad school level courses. I guess it could be possible to self study, but chemistry as a subject is so comprehensive and extensive, that I doubt you can pull that off and learn well to then take AP. It can never hurt to have prior knowledge and a solid foundation because you’ll get much more out of AP Chem and a better chance at passing the exam.
I’m taking Ap psychology next semester, wish me luck you guys.
Me just realizing that I’m taking AP physics AND AP art next year (sophomore year): 👁👄👁
girllllll--- that's literally SPAIN... without the "S" 💀
@@JoshBenzon HAHAHA but like UPDATE: I don’t think I’ll take AP physics anymore, imma prob go with honors chem... ILL JUST OVERWHELM MYSELF IN MY JUNIOR YEAR INSTEAD ✌️
I did some research on the 3 types of science and... Physics is basically a second math class anddddd notttt the biggest fan of that 🤭
@@ninahuang5388 girl I luv science and have taken ap bio & taking ap chem nxt yr but I’m taking ap physics as a junior & even tho I’m in the advanced math program I’m so beyond fucked in that class it’s not worth taking if u have no interest 😃
LITERALLY ME. i’ll just kms from now
@@rachelmackellar7412 i took ap physics 1 as a sophomore while also being in advanced math and i got a 4 on the exam. you should be fine as long as you pay attention and ask questions if you have any
My rankings of the APs I have taken so far!
self-study: Environmental science
skip some classes... here and there: World history, Seminar
alright... is that all you got: art history (My teacher gave us tests before we learned about things in class so that we'd have to study a lot... Even though it definitely payed off and I really enjoyed this class, reading about baroque art for five hours the night before the test is kind of exhausting)
My predictions for the APs I have junior year:
alright... is that all you got?: US history, European history, Literature
K.: Physics 1, Physics 2
our school did ap gov for sophmores and I sobbed once a week because of that class. (full disclosure I was in a horrible mental state and dealing with unmedicated adhd🥳) but Imma be so real I would study for tests and still fail, I failed first semester and dropped to regular and got an A it was so easy in comparison. It's known as like the worst ap at our school. I'm not sure if I'd do better doing it senior year because of the medication and better mental state or if that class was just bad or maybe I had a bad teacher Idk I did also miss a lot of class for outside reasons. I did ap lang this year and it wasn't hard just really tedious and annoying and I kinda feel like it killed my creativity and I love to write but didn't enjoy it. Looking forward to AP French cause I'm already at a B1 speaking level and I'm good at speaking. Looking forward to pysch cause I hear it's easy, and comparative gov cause I also hear it's easy.
Red: Chemistry, 2D Art, Drawing
Orange: Calc BC, Physics, Research, Music Theory
Yellow: Biology, Seminar, CSA
Green: APES
Blue: Human Geography
Bro we leads all of that bio stuff like Krebs cycle this year as freshman, in normal bio. Planning to Rosie AP bio jr. or senior ur, cuz they only offer it then, but it sounds kinda hard. And ppl at my school think honors bio is tricky (it is).
as a senior who self-studied all her aps cuz her school doesn't offer any lol:
red: cal bc (started 2 weeks before the test fml cried every day. my snaps at that time were interesting. gave up on the bc part lol but still got a 5 wtf?), ap lit (got a 3 and i had no idea what those poems were talking about)
orange: world history (hear me out, took the test as a junior...weird ik but got a 3??? lol i thought i could at least got a 4)
yellow: physics c mech
green: n/a
blue: micro/macroecon
ahah that calc bc took me outttt!! 🤣 but you dropped this tho for it 👑
I’m taking AP human geography for my freshman year. What have I gotten myself into.
teaaa ☕️ hope it's going wellll 🥲
Amazing editing! subscribed
💙 💙 💙
As someone taking both Calc AB and C:Mech at the same time, physics is MUCH easier.
I’m taking ap chem next year, do you have any tips? 😅 I’m taking ap euro this year but that was my first ap class heheh. I’m taking ap lit and acp us history along with it next year so do you also have tips on time management?
Sincerely,
A dumb sophomore
omg heyyy!!! lol ap chem was sOoOoOo wild when i took it!! based from what i remember, i think the most important thing is understanding the concepts, and so doing a lot of practice problems is prob the best route than just reading the textbook and stuff (but you can if you have time lol). in terms of time management... i took 5 one year (not to flex or anything 💁🏽♂️ 😌), but the BIGGEST tip (and this is something i still do in college) is schedule out your days and blocking out certain times for each subject, and always OVERESTIMATE your time. and last resort, if you can't handle all the aps, it's 110% fine to drop some of them. you're a human... not a robot... just remember that!! 💙
dude i love your energy and your editing !!! i literally thought u had thousands of subs
im a current hs junior and its my first year taking any ap classes! here are my rankings lol
red: apush
- I HATE THIS CLASS SM i spend so much time trying to teach myself everything cause its the first year my teacher has ever taugh ap so literally nothing we do in class helps me nor any of the other students for tests. well the only thing that kinda helped me were little debates we had, but not that much. the teacher assigns us a chapter each night and only reviews the material for the unit the class before the test. and when he reviews its not even like hes teaching it?? its like hes just dumping all the info during a lecture and i cannot learn anything from it. its so annoying i hate this class with a burning passion. last thursday we had a midterm and i got a 55 on it :/ (though a lot of other students also got worse grades than me so eh)
orange: ap bio
- i love this class! the content is challenging but i love my teacher. unlike my apush teacher, my teacher really engages with us during lectures and i have no problem trying to recall stuff we went over during class. a lot of the time we get up and do demonstrations that help us remember concepts. i put in a lot of work into studying and it actually pays off lol (unlike apush)
yellow: ap lang
- i dont really have to study for this class but i still do good lol. i like writing so i think thats why im doing good so far :D
green: none
blue: ap psych
- i honestly hate this class LOL. my class is stacked with both ap and regular psych students, but my teacher does not teach at all. she just gives the regular psych kids a fun little crossword while assigning the ap kids the annoying ap classroom videos and calls it a day. i always just look up the answers during tests cause she does not care about us at all lmfao
Do you have a tip to study the calc BC test from an AB class? In my school they dont give BC classes, so the students often self study and then take the BC test.
My school hardly has aps since it’s an ib school but i did pretty well on APHG freshman year with a 4 and 5 on AP World last year, now taking AP calc so ill see how it goes
I’m thinking of taking ap psych, ap living environment and ap calc ab for junior year (next year). Do you think I should take more/harder aps?
omg yooo those are such fun classes!! honestly you could try some more/harder aps if you want, and then just drop them later within the first couple weeks if it doesn't work out (if you can tho). remember: challenge yourself, but don't die lol 😅
@@JoshBenzon yeah I’m thinking of either picking up apush or switching ap bio for ap environmental science (I said living environment before by accident lol). But I’m not sure because I’m planning on getting a job and studying for the act/sat while also doing sports so I don’t wanna bite off more than I can chew
ohhhh okk!!! if you're a stem person, then do NOT do apush (ain't worth it). prob better for bio or "living" sciences. but since you're getting a job and doing sports, it prob is better just for those three you mentioned originally. i did swim and i felt like dying with my classes, and if you have job on top of that, it'll prob be more manageable with those 3 soo
@@JoshBenzon ok thank you so much😄😄
So imma be a sophomore next year, but picking classes now, I’m debating between AP euro and AP hug (human geo). I’ve heard that at my school, hug is easier, but more boring. I want to and will take both at some point. Any advice? (It’s my first time taking an AP, but I tend to like and and do good in history/current events/social studies. And both teachers seem cool.) thanks
if the AP euro teacher is good then take AP euro. But if they have a reputation of being a bad teacher don't take it. Don't put yourself through that pain💀-a current AP euro student
I haven't taken either yet, but I've heard that AP hug is pretty easy while AP euro is kind of hard. If you have the option to take AP world history, I would take that as a sophomore (if your school has AP world, but sophomores can't take it, you should take it as a junior or senior). If you like history, I'd take AP art history as well at some point, but there is definitely a lot of studying involved. Anyway, out of AP euro and AP hug, you should take AP hug
TYSM FOR MAKING THIS!! What resources would you recommend to self study for AP psych?
Also do you know Cecile S (another Brown University RUclipsrs)?
omg heyyy!!! for self-study, you could just buy the textbook or the review book and section out blocks for each section. you could also watch some videos online and stuff. and YESSSS, ik cecile. she's legit the next building from my dorm!! 😅
@@JoshBenzon got it thanks, and THATS SO COOL!! You two are literally my role models since I want to apply to Brown too, I’m definitely subscribing!
awww omg that legit means so much!! like i'm currently in class (not even surprised that i'm not paying attention) and that made me smile!! 😅
@@JoshBenzon ahaha I’m in class too!
"Not premed anymore"
ooooooop... ☕️🍵
In ap physics rn and I wanna die
SAME THO
now THAT"S a phat mood!!! 🙃
same
Wait was Ap eng Lang at the self study section?
yuppp 😈 💁🏽♂️ 😌
ap bio is kicking my ass rn
SAME
damn that sucks for you struggling in ap spanish as a spanish native speaker i don’t have to worry about that class , it’s my sleeping class 😘
For someone that wants to major in biology, krabs cycle!! Ugh and cringe!! It is the Kreb cycle or citric acid cycle!!🙄😑🧐🤢
exactlyyyy 👑💙
Hey I plan on doing chem,bio,seminar,psych and I think I wanna take a math ap…which is your fav ap math?
none 💅🏽 lol prob ap stat
How difficult do you think Calc BC would have been without taking AB beforehand?
omg heyy!! ummm... i'm not entirely sure, but i did hear from other people that it is pretty difficult since BC really does build from AB. it takes the stuff you learned from AB and makes it wayyy more complex, sooooo... it is def possible, but it's entirely up to you tho
For my junior year I’m definitely taking AP psych but I’m stuck on deciding between AP eng Lang or APUSH. Idk what to dooo
OMG TAKE AP LANGGGGGG!!! SO MUCH MORE USEFUL AND FUN TBHHHHHH 💁🏽♂️
Im taking both ap lang and apush atm, and honestly, despite always disliking history classes in the past, apush is actually quite interesting imo. Its also not as bad as I thought it’d be, but that could just be because of virtual schooling so take that how you want :P
Thanks for your sharing!
💙
SHOOT A LITERAL BROWN INCOMING FRESHMAN GOT A 3 ON THE AP PHYSCS EXAM AND IM PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN MY HIGH SCHOOL SOPHOMORE YEAR!?
But like seriously, HELP. AP physics is the only AP class offered to sophomores (okay there’s AP Art and AP CS but like-) and I don’t want a pile of AP classes for my junior year 😭 (I’m also planning on self studying for other AP classes) BUT WOULD U RECOMMEND ME TAKE IT??
me getting a bunch of 3s 👁 👄 👁... omg can i be honest with you?? i feel like AP CS sounds the best option. my school didn't offer it so i can't say much, BUT I CAN SAY MUCH ABOUT PHYSICS AND ART SOO!!!! and for self-studying, it kinda depends oh what and how many aps. i took like 2 sophomore year, soo just take maybe one hard one and one or two somewhat easier ones.
@@JoshBenzon ooo okay thanks! But AP CS requires me to know Java so I can’t do that
ooop then nvm lol... i think ap art is prob better then. it's actually a fun class if you're with the right people, and it's not "hard" in terms of academically so you could treat it as a break. but it will sometimes stress you out artistically sooo 💁🏽♂️
Your reasons for calc bc being hard, sounds like a skill issue
calc bc made me hate math i never have before😀
why is this relatable as i am in college right now 🥲
SAME IDK HOW I GOT A 3 ON PHYSICS
twinsiessssssssss 💙
aye I got a 3 on AP physics too..TWINSIES
You look so young how'd you take 11 Ap classes in 4 years *cri
ahaha thankssss!! lol i honestly have no idea how my high school self did bc im out here struggling in college 🥲
great intro
I honestly don't think AP is so bad...just like dont take the exam 😂
now that's honestly the way to go tho 💁🏽♂️ 🙃
the ap exams are so damn expensive too ://
Other than trying to challenge yourself, and the weighted gpa boost, why would you not take the ap exam if your gonna take the ap class?
I know that their expensive, but I feel as if the whole reason for taking an ap class is for college credit.
@@XcaliBro-21 good point, but taking an ap class without the exam is still going to be more impressive to colleges than any normal or honors class
