I got a 2 on the AP Chem exam and it’s truly a hard class, class material I tend to do good but the test is so hard and there’s so much to know and remember
3-6 AP classes is the most anyone should take. I would suggest AP Calc (AB Or BC), 1 Physics AP Exam, AP Biology, and AP History (US or World). I only took AP Statistics in HS. I wouldn't take AP English because the college class is easier than the AP exam. I would recommend AP Stat and AP Economics for business majors, and Calc BC and Physic C (motion), Physics C (electricity/magnetism) for engineering majors. This will save you time and money in college. I also recommend cutting AP exams depending on how hard you are willing to study. Some people should only take 0-1 AP classes. The reason I think you should take those AP classes is because it will get you through the most pre-reqs/save tuition money. Also if you fail (which you might), you'll have a huge head start when you retake in college. I wish I would of taken more AP classes in HS.
The English Language exam wasn't that hard imo. Didn't need to study over a week and felt confident. Heard bad things about lit but haven't taken it yet so can't comment on that. I disagree with your viewpoint that 6 is the most anyone should take; there are AP exams for a wide variety of subjects, and it feels like a waste to not do as many as you can (especially if you get them for free). Personally, I enjoyed all 6 APs I took this year (Bio, APUSH, AP Lang, Physics 1, Calculus AB, Psychology [kinda meh]) because it's such a wide variety. Maybe it's just me. But I think the main reason why many take APs is to boost their college transcript and GPA. All my classes this year were 1.1 weighted except one, and next year all of them will be AP sans the internship class. It's not so much about college credit as it is boosting your transcript.
@@visveee6678 If you are a senior, most colleges are not looking at your grades/GPA senior year unless you are taking next year off and applying next year or are on the border of being admitted/deferred. That being said, your AP Calculus exam is the most important AP exam. If you did well, it will get you out of tons of prereq classes. If you pass and get credit for any exam- it'll save you tuition money... I took Calculus 1 and 2 at Ohio State and the AP exam was actually way easier than the class (I looked at the exam). Professors bog you done with HW, Online HW, Quizzes, and Exams. I just kind of feel like 6 is the most anyone can really do a quality job on, while still enjoying those critical mid-teen years. You don't want to waste your entire life studying and being a bookworm, while also having a good balance putting hard work into school. Work/Sports also play a role into how many AP exams you should take. People who play sports/work should take fewer exams. Also - as someone who has been out of college since 2016. The most important thing from HS is learning English (Grammar, Comprehension, Writing, Speaking, (not literature)), and Math. Everything else is not that important.
@visveee AP Psych is super interesting but my teacher was in his last year before retirement and made the class as boring as possible. Also AP Lit isn't bad at all, it's like the best test since the prose passages and poems are actually good and fun to read
Why would u limit it, you can handle 2-3 per year or more if you’re academically inclined. The more you can handle the better your gpa will be, the more prepared you’ll be for university, and the more college credit you’ll receive, if I could go back I would’ve taken way more ap classes cause I ended up taking those classes freshman year of university anyway
I thought the AP Physics C courses were called "C" because of the now discontinued "AP Physics B" and not because it uses calculus. AP Physics 1 and 2 used to be contained within a single year-long course called AP Physics B up until 2015. The course covered all the content of both classes only it had a much shallower dive into the material, mainly centered around numerical evaluations rather than conceptual comprehension of the relationships between physical phenomena in the equations. The exam in May was therefore more straightforward and according to the accounts of some teachers I've asked who taught the class back then, the eaxam was also easier. The class was a different story, tho. Since it contained what is now two courses, despite its shallower approach the pacing had to be lightning fast, blitzing through content thus making the class more demanding and potentially stressful than difficult. On a side note there once used to be a proposed AP Physics A course that never came to be when the AP program was still in its infancy. So it was analogous to how Clac has AB and BC; Physics would have B and C. Nevertheless "C" courses are one semester long. And this year's Mech test was comically hard this year lmao
I recently took both Micro and Macro and I’d personally say Macro was easier just by the fact that there are fewer graphs to have to memorize and the computations are less complex when not having to analyze it from multiple individual/business perspectives. But you’re absolutely right! Jacob Clifford single handedly carried me through the material.
And the boys writing an LEQ for the the AP lang argument essay, I'd also like to note that European history is at least in my guess alot easier than Apush. I took them side by side this year and the content needed was alot less and more broad but still more honed in then world.
I took stats 2020-2021 so it was online, I had no teacher, and I had to learn all the curriculum on my own. By far the hardest class not bc of the content but bc of the situation- got a 3 on the test I went straight from integ math 2 to that and when you have no teacher to explain what a z-score is you know it was rough
Man what planet are you kids from where you had access to all these AP classes???? I don't recall there even being any in my high school! Now going back to school for math and physics and it's going to take me maybe 3 years just to get to where some HS kids are starting out!
As someone who took 4 aps this year including calc bc and apush, you just have to make sure all your time is utilized. For APUSH, make sure if you're doing readings to grasp the concept well (there's a great youtube video that describes how to absorb information like a sponge that really helped me). For calc, the struggle Is the amount of concepts needed to be completed. My best advice is if you're not doing anything over the summer, just look over the first 3 units in your free time. Another great youtube channel to crack the test with a 5 is JJ Sandoval. However, good luck on AP Chem, I hear it sucks.
AP Lit isn't bad, also Calc BC Exam was easy this year compared to others and if you've taken AB already then BC becomes an easier class than AB. Chem is intense and APUSH is very time demanding. I'd recommend making the latter two the bulk of your study leading up to May, and overall paying super close attention in class with good note habits to make the studying smoother. If you haven't taken AB and are not very math-oriented, then 3Blue1Brown, the organic Chemistry tutor, and BlackpenRedpen can help you breeze through the BC Class and Exam.
AP US History is really really easy along with AP World. That's probably just because I'm a history buff. I also find AP Bio relatively easy so far, hilariously it's easier than adv Chem.
ap chem test was extremely watered down. so is apush and probably every other ap exam this year. personally my ap chem class was way harder than the actual test. but tbh i probably scored a 4 on it because i didnt study for thermo.
I agree there, AP Physics 1 is so unnecessarily difficult without calculus involved. I’m taking P1 this year, on my way to a 5 on the exam, but I can honestly say that AP Mechanics is a lot easier, I took a look at some of the frqs and multiple choice for mechanics and it’s super easy. Not as much lab or other strange questions, just pure comprehensive evaluation. Also physics is much easier to understand with calculus involved, and you can derive things much easier
@@Bloxyash23 the algebra is easy. Any math in physics classes is going to be relatively easy (at least for me). But it’s very difficult to describe systems, motion, forces etc without the use of calculus. There’s a reason Newton needed to develop calculus to explore physics: you can’t accurately explain physics without calculus. Using only algebra is counterintuitive
Are these classes good for Freshman Year? I finished 2 years of foreign language Algebra 2 Honors English 1 Honors Chemistry Honors AP Human Geography Orchestra (Fine arts req) P.E. (P.E. Requirement) AP Seminar
Idk maybe it’s a bit too hard, I mean you did two years of math and world language so maybe you can take it, but it looks hard. You might wanna tone it down if you have more than 2/3 B’s in your current classes. If you have all A’s, by all means keep it.
if the honors classes are the same difficulty as mine id say its pretty doable i havent taken honors chemistry yet tho cus thats for sophmores and i havent done orchestra seminar might be a bit rough though
I recommend going for it, as an upcoming sophmore I’m taking adv alg 2 next year, ap sem, ap world, and my school’s pre-eng program for math + science, and ect. If you find the AP classes too much, I recommended backing down before the first week of school ends. I took ap human and ap gov for my freshman year (this year) and I just took my ap gov exam yesrtday. I’m taking my hug exam this Thursday. History is a weak subject of mine but from what I’ve learned in class, ap human is easier than ap gov for sure imo. English will be easy, trust me. If your school offers summer pe you should take it, I tried out for it last summer and it was really fun, and it gives you more room to take more classes you’d like.
oh and I also take orchestra, if u really love/like it then go for it for sure! I rec auditioning for higher levels if you are comfortable with what you’re playing in your class currently.
i don’t know if it is my teacher being a brutal grader, but i am finding the ap physics 1 class incredibly difficult i also am finding it much harder than calc ab, but that could just be me
As much as I like these icons, the font size you are using it TINY. Please make a version without the icons so this is legible for people on laptops. Thank you.
BC is NOT harder than either physics c bro. Id put BC in like bottom of hard maybe prob in like medium the concepts are really easy the only hard part is the amount of time u have per question
theres no way mechanics ranked below csa, em below bc is weird but kinda depends on the person ig, most people (take into account bc is self selecting) would rank the physics c courses way above bc, probably in top 3
Do you think I should take it? I'm planning on taking a science AP class next year instead of hs environmental science, and I'm considering Chemistry since hs chemistry was generally easy for me (even though it is probably much easier than AP chem)
@@isaiahleach4078 there wasn’t much to memorize in my class, it was more the content itself that was hard. AP chem is the first chem class I’ve ever taken so it makes it much harder than if I had taken chem before. It was hard at times but doable the way my teacher does it
11 rookie numbers, AP is easy for some students who were never challenged and as such haven’t met their match also I felt bio was harder then chemistry
