@@hdajq892ey7 Depends on your commitment, and your dedication to learning the basics. An important part of learning Chinese is to spend time learning the basics, in fact that’s probably the most important part, everything else is secondary. If you screw up learning that, Chinese will seem very difficult and unintuitive, just like any other language, but if you learned a latin based language it gets even more difficult, since your first language and second language are completely different. The most important thing is that you have to understand the pronunciations and strokes and basic characters to pass any Chinese one course with flying colors. I recommend you first learn the pronunciations of 妈麻马骂吗. This will help you learn the speaking portions of Chinese, along with the pronunciation while giving you a simple enough introduction to the language. After you can say it at a good enough speed with good enough pronunciation and become able to say 妈妈麻马 while conserving the meaning to someone who knows Chinese, you should be good enough for Chinese one in the speech department, as long as you follow the coursework the teacher gives you in the speech aspect. After that, I recommend you learn the basic strokes of Chinese, which are the 点，横，竖，撇，捺，and so on and so forth etc. While learning these basic strokes, you should also learn the order of which you must write these strokes, and this is where we get to an important part, where you can’t necessarily choose whether or not you fill this role, and that would be whether or not you are right handed. Most people are, but fair warning, this is pretty important. The Chinese language has a heavy focus on being right handed, as the entire language is built upon the assumption that the person using it is right handed, including what direction your strokes go in. I would know, because growing up in China I was left handed, and I was forced to change to right, although it wasn’t as hard since it was a young age. However, since I assume you are also in 8th grade, it is a fair warning since you likely can’t choose whether or not you want to be right or left handed at this point. After learning the basic strokes, the next step for me would be to buy a 字帖 at a basic level and work through it, making sure to practice good form the strokes. Make sure to apply what you learned from the order of strokes and what the stroke names are by saying them as you write, like saying 点 after doing the top dot of 家.

Here’s a tip. Make sure your high school can give college credit before you graduate. I wish I took that opportunity in my high school so I wouldn’t have to spend money on classes I already took and take other or more useful classes for my potential career
We had to do a practice ACT sophomore year, and the thing you said about the AP gov exam was exactly what happened. I was over here actually trying, and the kid next to me would click through the test so quick and then sleep. I think he and his friends were all clicking a different letter on each part of the test, like a for english, b for science, etc. I hope he doesn't do that on the actual thing ;-;
AP Gov comment is true, but not for the reason you think. I don’t know it was just this year, but the test was so incredibly easy that most people including me finished both sections like an hour early. So yes people were sleeping by the end of it lol.
cuz the barrier to get a 4 or 5 in E&M is really low compared to Mech. I remember the max was %54 on E&M, which is basically if you get the half of the exam correct you get a 5 lmao
Most Ivy League and top schools don't even take 5s for college credit. However, they do care what score you got as a measure of your college readiness. The tests aren't only for the credit.
For schools that don't take a lot of credit, the grades in AP classes matter more than the exam scores. AP exams make up a very small part of admissions.
@@learnsatmath The ap scores are kinda like a right of passage for top schools. You have to have them or else you will barely be considered but they by no means guarantee acceptance.
I hate CollegeBoard with a burning passion, so I just took community college courses in high school instead and I learned a lot from it. I couldn't be happier with having made that decision. My college classes were the highlight of my day when I had to sit through grueling hours of high school madness. I still loved my high school history classes, though. I will always be a history nerd.
I took AB because BC is faster paced and I didn't have the best experience with math. I have some regrets (most of my smarter friends are doing BC), and next year I'll be taking BC, so I'll have truly understood Calc by then. I wouldn't say I'm that average, but I'm taking 7 AP classes and I have A or A+ in all of them.
There are a bunch of people in my uni that took AP calc classes in high school, but none of the credits transfer over so they have to take the same classes as me, someone who never took an AP class. Their asses got scammed
I was a freshman when I took APHG and I got a 3 on it. I did not take the class seriously and would never pay attention. Now I’m in AP world and AP bio and I’m taking them a lot more seriously cause I genuinely thought I was going to fail APHG
Took BC calc almost 20 years ago now, a bit too fast paced for me. Barely passed the first semester, dropped it, and chickened out on doing any sort of STEM major in college. Really dumb decision in retrospect. AB calc or just not letting the fast pace of BC affect my choice of major would have put me onto a better path through life.
Nobody made higher than a 3 in my AP compsci class. To be fair, the teacher taught us basic Java, got high, and then let us play Halo 1 LAN off our flash drives. No regrets 😂😂
This is everyone’s AP compsci I stg. I got a 3, we played on an occulus everyday in class, and the teacher just gave everyone a 100 and said we could learn to program during the class if we wanted.
What's funny is I got a 2 on EVERY exam. Calc bc, government and econ. I had No idea at all wtf was going on in econ and in government i had a 98 in that class. i knew every single court case. I had an 87 in calc BC and knew every integration method. Yet the score is the same??
I got credit in Gov, but only 3's in chem and AB calc. Got a social studies credit for free, and got to take thise hard stem courses twice. Worked out great
Can confirm about "A.P. gov" being a preschool class. I had my tests when covid shut down the schools for half a year and they didn't yet have the in infrastructure to do online class so the teachers had to improvise very shoddy materials in a hail mary - and I still got a *4* ! (To put that in perspective for my "AP econ" was split into two semesters, first being "macro" second being "micro" - "micro" was the covid semester. Got a *4* on the macro test and a *2* on "micro", although granted I think micro is harder overall)
I fell asleep during my AP Macroeconomics exam, got a 3, somehow one of 13 to pass the test in year We took the class in fall term so we had forgotten most of the material, even then it wasn’t on my high priority study list compared to other AP tests and finals I had at the time
Past bc test 5 and ab test 3 scorer here. One more thing about bc test. Half of the bc curriculum is calc ab. So if you've already taken calc ab and the ab test, it's not nearly as hard as calc ab where everything is fresh, scary information.
When I was in high school, I got 5s on ab and bc calc, chem, physics, and comp sci. I also got 3s on gov, us hist, and both english classes. It is almost like some people have strong suits in what is considered hard for most.
AP classes are also valuable because top colleges expect you to be taking the hardest classes available to you. If you don't pass any AP tests it's not a good look.
You could also just go to a community college first to get your Associates, then apply to university after. By then, your high school accomplishments do not matter.
@@SpocksCat I'd rather get my bachelor's from a decent public university and graduate debt free than be miserable in high school desperately trying to be good enough to get into a top university and graduate tens of thousands of dollars in debt. That's just me though.
Ok but the thing is that both AP Calc exams are genuinely EASY 5s. I took both exams in junior and senior year respectively and they really aren’t that hard if your teacher isn’t dogshit at teaching calculus. If you thought it was hard then that’s because your teacher can’t teach.
to be fair to those people sleeping during the Gov exam, they gave you three times as much time as you actually need and I fully believe a good number of them just finished the test, saw they had another 30 minutes stuck in the room, and decided to take a nap lol
I’ll be real I probably got a 3 on the ap calc bc test just cuz I did not study series at all cuz they annoy the hell out of me & I did not want to even think about doing them
@@hyperbroli6672 bruh idk I was just like “ok I hate series I will do everything but that” not knowing that series count for like 50% of the exams points
I live in Alabama and my gov exam was ridiculous. Gov meant we take the macro exam as well so the year was already split in half for two AP classes, and we did alternating days so we only had like 30 days of classes for that exam
The other thing with AP gov is that, if your school uses trimesters, it only goes the first two trimesters, meaning you have an entire 3 months or so to forget all of it before taking the test
I remember years ago when, the day before the test, our teacher told us the Physics 1 test had a 30% pass rate and we all immediately panicked but I don't think anyone from my class failed
In 1995, my call teacher made us copy our written section and hand it into him, and that counted towards our class grade. So I suppose there is a pretty high bar to entry - I made one numerical error on the last question. 😔
I could eat Calc BC breakfast dinner and lunch yet get eaten by AP French and history APs because I don’t study lmfao 💀 shit isn’t interesting, at least calc is worth smthg, all I need is Physics 1/2, Calc, and comp sci credits anyways
AP stands for “advanced placement” a person in high school can take these classes to earn college credit in high school to lessen the load in college and to still get a higher education while not having to go to/pay for college.
What year did you take Gov? When I took it I thought it was easy only to get a three when I was less than a single point away from a five when I took a mock exam in February of that year.
It is absolutely EVIL when colleges will NOT give you a credit if you score a 4 or 5 but instead will put you in a HIGHER ADVANCED CLASS FOR THE SUBJECT AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
The sleeping part might just be because AP gov is way too fucking long for how easy the content is. I finished both sections with like an hour left and was left in excruciating boredom.
As soon as you get into college, no one will care about your AP scores (or high school GPA) ever again. As soon as you get your first in industry-job, no one will care about your college GPA ever again… well maybe grad school but you get the picture. The point is that you should look to school as a place of learning, not as a place of credentials. Getting the credential will be a natural result of trying to learn, even if it doesn’t look perfect. But what actually matters after you get the credential is what you learned, because that is what sets you apart.
I did the AP Gov test in ‘22, from what I heard, people had originally done so well and because it’s a pretty opinion based class with some facts ofc, and I’m assuming someone shat in the graders’s waffles that day, they went BACK and regraded it harder so that most people dropped down a score if they weren’t borderline on the next highest. I, along with the entire class except for one person, got a TWO! That includes the teacher’s daughter (she never got special treatment because our teacher was actually fair and believed in equal playing grounds). There was one girl that got a 3 and she was supposed to get a 4! Thankfully it was my senior year and I didn’t have to put up with anymore bullshit AP tests with unfair graders and scores that are based solely off of which answer is “more correct” and if the graders share the same opinion as you🫠 At least I earned my 1 in AP Physics E&M because I gave up on life and had an internal meltdown as soon as I read the first question😂 And don’t even get me started on the APUSH test in ‘21! We were supposed to be in APUSH during ‘20 but our teacher turned out to be… and unsavory guy that liked to stare people down and focus on some CHILDREN (like me at the time) more than others, message them inappropriate things, and tweet slurs saying “iT’s JuSt ThE lYrIcS gUyS!!!1!1!!” and we were moved to Honors since we didn’t have another teacher. My best guy friend and I decided to retake APUSH the year after that and yeah, test was miserable, couldn’t go back to previous questions since it was online, we all had different questions, and there were questions on things we didn’t talk about because we didn’t think it’d be on the test. We both got twos just like everyone else lol
AP Chinese has one of the highest pass rates.
Is it because it is an easy class?
HELL NO!

@@hdajq892ey7 Depends on your commitment, and your dedication to learning the basics. An important part of learning Chinese is to spend time learning the basics, in fact that’s probably the most important part, everything else is secondary.
If you screw up learning that, Chinese will seem very difficult and unintuitive, just like any other language, but if you learned a latin based language it gets even more difficult, since your first language and second language are completely different. The most important thing is that you have to understand the pronunciations and strokes and basic characters to pass any Chinese one course with flying colors.
I recommend you first learn the pronunciations of 妈麻马骂吗. This will help you learn the speaking portions of Chinese, along with the pronunciation while giving you a simple enough introduction to the language.
After you can say it at a good enough speed with good enough pronunciation and become able to say 妈妈麻马 while conserving the meaning to someone who knows Chinese, you should be good enough for Chinese one in the speech department, as long as you follow the coursework the teacher gives you in the speech aspect.
After that, I recommend you learn the basic strokes of Chinese, which are the 点，横，竖，撇，捺，and so on and so forth etc. While learning these basic strokes, you should also learn the order of which you must write these strokes, and this is where we get to an important part, where you can’t necessarily choose whether or not you fill this role, and that would be whether or not you are right handed.
Most people are, but fair warning, this is pretty important. The Chinese language has a heavy focus on being right handed, as the entire language is built upon the assumption that the person using it is right handed, including what direction your strokes go in.

However, since I assume you are also in 8th grade, it is a fair warning since you likely can’t choose whether or not you want to be right or left handed at this point.
After learning the basic strokes, the next step for me would be to buy a 字帖 at a basic level and work through it, making sure to practice good form the strokes. Make sure to apply what you learned from the order of strokes and what the stroke names are by saying them as you write, like saying 点 after doing the top dot of 家.

I got a 3, we played on an occulus everyday in class, and the teacher just gave everyone a 100 and said we could learn to program during the class if we wanted.
lol 😂 I love this type of content
I like how the 7 Calculus AB score implies that even tho you got a 6 in this fictional scoring system, it’s not perfect
What's funny is I got a 2 on EVERY exam. Calc bc, government and econ. I had No idea at all wtf was going on in econ and in government i had a 98 in that class. i knew every single court case. I had an 87 in calc BC and knew every integration method. Yet the score is the same??
mistaake on filling in your answers?
Same
i got a 1 on all my tests... i think i misread the instructions..
I got credit in Gov, but only 3's in chem and AB calc. Got a social studies credit for free, and got to take thise hard stem courses twice. Worked out great
I just saw this today, 5/29/24, and the panic I just felt after that first line honestly hurt
Can confirm about "A.P. gov" being a preschool class. I had my tests when covid shut down the schools for half a year and they didn't yet have the in infrastructure to do online class so the teachers had to improvise very shoddy materials in a hail mary - and I still got a *4* !
(To put that in perspective for my "AP econ" was split into two semesters, first being "macro" second being "micro" - "micro" was the covid semester. Got a *4* on the macro test and a *2* on "micro", although granted I think micro is harder overall)
Coltrane in the background threw me off LOL
Which song is it
I fell asleep during my AP Macroeconomics exam, got a 3, somehow one of 13 to pass the test in year
We took the class in fall term so we had forgotten most of the material, even then it wasn’t on my high priority study list compared to other AP tests and finals I had at the time
Past bc test 5 and ab test 3 scorer here.
One more thing about bc test. Half of the bc curriculum is calc ab. So if you've already taken calc ab and the ab test, it's not nearly as hard as calc ab where everything is fresh, scary information.
I got a 5 on AP Gov… I don’t even know how I hated that course
I saw this and thought they were out 😭😭
Saved AP chem at my school back in '12 because no one had passed in 3 years.
When I was in high school, I got 5s on ab and bc calc, chem, physics, and comp sci. I also got 3s on gov, us hist, and both english classes. It is almost like some people have strong suits in what is considered hard for most.
If anyone watching is not a senior, trust me, this guy is right. Half the kids who enter the AP English or gov exam are snoozing by the end 🤣🤣
this is why I’m gonna take AP Chinese!!!!!!! Only a 13% chance I don’t pass!
Dual Enrollment better
AP classes are also valuable because top colleges expect you to be taking the hardest classes available to you. If you don't pass any AP tests it's not a good look.
You could also just go to a community college first to get your Associates, then apply to university after. By then, your high school accomplishments do not matter.
@@Elektrokardiogramm People don't get into top colleges that way.
@@SpocksCat I'd rather get my bachelor's from a decent public university and graduate debt free than be miserable in high school desperately trying to be good enough to get into a top university and graduate tens of thousands of dollars in debt. That's just me though.
Ok but the thing is that both AP Calc exams are genuinely EASY 5s. I took both exams in junior and senior year respectively and they really aren’t that hard if your teacher isn’t dogshit at teaching calculus. If you thought it was hard then that’s because your teacher can’t teach.
how much harder is BC than AB
@@rizzlo not that much harder. If you did well on AB, you’ll do well on BC
The last clip is literally me picking classes, I always end up making it way harder than it should
to be fair to those people sleeping during the Gov exam, they gave you three times as much time as you actually need and I fully believe a good number of them just finished the test, saw they had another 30 minutes stuck in the room, and decided to take a nap lol
Bebop detected ✅ Opinion validated
not really bebop but yeah

I’ll be real I probably got a 3 on the ap calc bc test just cuz I did not study series at all cuz they annoy the hell out of me & I did not want to even think about doing them
You're trying to do calculus without series? What were you thinking bro everything can have series tied into it
if you arent used to frying your brain to the point where it doesnt think anymore, are you really mathing?
@@harrietjameson I was pretty good with math until logs
@@hyperbroli6672 bruh idk I was just like “ok I hate series I will do everything but that” not knowing that series count for like 50% of the exams points
I played pokemon red on my calculator during AP Stat test, I do not regret this
Coltrane - One up one down
Can confirm bc is harder, though I don't remember why
I live in Alabama and my gov exam was ridiculous. Gov meant we take the macro exam as well so the year was already split in half for two AP classes, and we did alternating days so we only had like 30 days of classes for that exam
I took AP Gov my senior year as a write off class, absolutely did not pay attention during the test bc I didn't need it
Can confirm. I got a four BC calculus. Basically didn’t try it all.
Dude I thought this was now😭 I was like HOLY HELL THATS EARLY
I got a 5 on BC calc as a junior in 2019
Did it in 8th grade😭
The other thing with AP gov is that, if your school uses trimesters, it only goes the first two trimesters, meaning you have an entire 3 months or so to forget all of it before taking the test
Average BC Calc being represented by Stephen Hawking is funny now
Good message 👍
I clicked on this video only because my last essay used the picture on the thumbnail. Crazy coincidence
I remember years ago when, the day before the test, our teacher told us the Physics 1 test had a 30% pass rate and we all immediately panicked but I don't think anyone from my class failed

I got an IB diploma
I had to sell my soul to get it but i got it
damn, im going into DP next year and already scared. ive been pre studying calculus and physics in hopes that i dont fall behind
i got this on my recommended and i thought it was a funny video but then it was actually about APs
Bc calc actually is easier as someone who took both. Also coltrane appreciated
Showing this to people when they ask why I didn't take high school AP:
Bro is a menace 😂
The algo is a menace for putting this in recommended.
I got 4 on Stats, USH, and a 5 on ES
In 1995, my call teacher made us copy our written section and hand it into him, and that counted towards our class grade. So I suppose there is a pretty high bar to entry -
I made one numerical error on the last question. 😔
And many times, a college won’t take the score
I could eat Calc BC breakfast dinner and lunch yet get eaten by AP French and history APs because I don’t study lmfao 💀 shit isn’t interesting, at least calc is worth smthg, all I need is Physics 1/2, Calc, and comp sci credits anyways
Can someone explain me the lore 😅
AP stands for “advanced placement” a person in high school can take these classes to earn college credit in high school to lessen the load in college and to still get a higher education while not having to go to/pay for college.
@@TacticaLLR ty
Gov was actually quite hard that year I took it. That asked some obscure hyper specific questions. Only three of of all the AP exams I've ever taken
What year did you take Gov? When I took it I thought it was easy only to get a three when I was less than a single point away from a five when I took a mock exam in February of that year.

@@artemasace0349 I remembered they asked something about some person and their influence on the green party. I was just kinda like "what?"
Also AP Calc would have lower scores because you get a subscore for it on the BC test so people take it less seriously.

My AP sores don't come out until July
It is absolutely EVIL when colleges will NOT give you a credit if you score a 4 or 5 but instead will put you in a HIGHER ADVANCED CLASS FOR THE SUBJECT AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
And this is why you research whether or not the college you apply to accepts AP scores for credit
As someone who takes Calc BC, it’s actually easier than AB

👇 who else got a 5 on BC calc
The sleeping part might just be because AP gov is way too fucking long for how easy the content is. I finished both sections with like an hour left and was left in excruciating boredom.
Laughs in never had the confidence or self esteem to spend $75 to most likely fail one of these tests
Music? Sounds like Coltrane or something
I don’t give a fuck about AP classes but just wanna say that’s an absolute banger deepcut coltrane tune
As soon as you get into college, no one will care about your AP scores (or high school GPA) ever again. As soon as you get your first in industry-job, no one will care about your college GPA ever again… well maybe grad school but you get the picture.
The point is that you should look to school as a place of learning, not as a place of credentials. Getting the credential will be a natural result of trying to learn, even if it doesn’t look perfect. But what actually matters after you get the credential is what you learned, because that is what sets you apart.
I saw this video and thought this was about the 2024 exams 💀
I did the AP Gov test in ‘22, from what I heard, people had originally done so well and because it’s a pretty opinion based class with some facts ofc, and I’m assuming someone shat in the graders’s waffles that day, they went BACK and regraded it harder so that most people dropped down a score if they weren’t borderline on the next highest. I, along with the entire class except for one person, got a TWO! That includes the teacher’s daughter (she never got special treatment because our teacher was actually fair and believed in equal playing grounds). There was one girl that got a 3 and she was supposed to get a 4! Thankfully it was my senior year and I didn’t have to put up with anymore bullshit AP tests with unfair graders and scores that are based solely off of which answer is “more correct” and if the graders share the same opinion as you🫠 At least I earned my 1 in AP Physics E&M because I gave up on life and had an internal meltdown as soon as I read the first question😂 And don’t even get me started on the APUSH test in ‘21! We were supposed to be in APUSH during ‘20 but our teacher turned out to be… and unsavory guy that liked to stare people down and focus on some CHILDREN (like me at the time) more than others, message them inappropriate things, and tweet slurs saying “iT’s JuSt ThE lYrIcS gUyS!!!1!1!!” and we were moved to Honors since we didn’t have another teacher. My best guy friend and I decided to retake APUSH the year after that and yeah, test was miserable, couldn’t go back to previous questions since it was online, we all had different questions, and there were questions on things we didn’t talk about because we didn’t think it’d be on the test. We both got twos just like everyone else lol
nice music
what tune?
Not me, taking US Gov, thinking itd be easier than Comp Gov.
That tests FRQ questions were such BS.
