OH! And I suck at math (almost failed Geometry and Algebra 2... but got an A in PreCal... cause I was in a cast and the teacher wrote my notes... YAY!) yet I magically got a 5 out of 6 on the math placement test (I don't even know how... I guessed on half of them) which equals Calculus. So if I decided to take it, then if I decided to become a business major and got a C in that class, I wouldn't have to take another math. Except I plan on going PreLaw so I'm dropping it down to PreCal. =^]
Most of the people at my school took AP courses just to boost their GPA, not to get college credit cause we weren't reguired to take the test. I took 2 AP English classes because I enjoy English and I decided to take the test just to get out of class for that day... I actually did really well and when I sign up for classes 2nd semester they'll let me know how that worked out for me. But I agree, I hate math and would much rather not take it...
It only bypasses you from the intro/first level course. Usually there are 2 years of the basic/required courses so its more saving you one year of the required courses. I took a few english courses as electives because I enjoyed them and they boosted my GPA.
Here's the thing. AP courses are not required to take the AP test. If you pass the AP test, you still get college credit. Another thing. AP courses don't really allow you to graduate sooner from college because in college you take ELECTIVES along with required courses for any program. Just take what they offered in AP as an elective and voila, you are up with the AP kids. Also, if you skip the into course cause you got AP credit, then you take a harder course, which may lower your college GPA.
Well I took the Gov Econ and English AP tests and passed them so that basically either saved me alot of time in college or allowed me to choose more fun classes that I wanna take for the hell of it. :) So very worth it. I may be good at English and hate math, I am happy about not taking boring writing classes learning things I will never use.
You take the college level class, while in high school. If you do well enough on the AP Test then you wont have to take pretty much the same class in college. Plus, while in high school you'll definitely learn more because of the pace and the way of teaching. I just took my AP World History test in May. Get my results here pretty soon. =]
I took the AP Music Theory exam this year and i took it last year too. I think that with taking the AP exam if you do good it gives you credit for either 1 semester or 1 year and that doesnt mean you dont have to do it ever again you just have one less class to pay. in this economy paying for one less class is BRILLIANT!!!!
basically to answer your question, when you take an ap class, it's like taking a college level course. Lets say you take ap english, you can get credit for english in college and now u can take more classes pertaining to english like composition or journalism without having to repeat the same class. In other words, you are saving money by getting college credit and allowing yourself to take other classes you are interested in, without wasting your time. yea..
exactly! the AP test allows you to not have to take the equivalent in college and of which lets you take more intense courses or electives in that department.
i love the beard situation. be patient with it. it looks HOT.
Echoing everyone else, yeah, AP Tests allow you to skip some of the more basic classes (e.g. 101) in college. This could have financial benefits, via Early Graduation or even reduced tuition.
Plus, its a great resume builder for college.
And, as with me and thousands of kids throughout the nation, AP seemingly stands for Asian Parents, because they'll force you to take them anyway.
no, that's actually not how it works. you ace the AP test, they don't make you take the regular course in Freshman year of College. they give you a jump-start into an advanced college course a year early.
AP credits improves your resume. It shows you didn't shy away from tough courses and if you did well in AP courses, it shows you can probably handle university material
i don't think the university would value a grade on cooking more than a grade on ap calc.
That's not exactly the point of AP classes. The way I see it, AP serves 2 purposes. The first is to allow you to get college credit for a required class to allow you to focus on your major courses (say AP credit for Calc when you are a English major). The second is to allow you to start off in more advanced classes (say AP credit for Calc 1 so you can start at Calc 2).
I got AP Calc credit and never had to take math in college (biology major). It was pretty cool.
I would've so totally been more motivated to pass the AP english exams If they'd make me exempt from taking college math classes... lol XD~
I mean, I like english! It's alright. Certainly more fun than math most of the time (but whatever, going into my 2nd semester of college now, and passed the 1st math with flying colors.)
I just took the AP Lit and the AP Language tests. I'm majoring in Biochem in college, so the English probably wouldn't help me much anyway. Even thought I like Lit/Lang.
I love science, but I hate math. That's probably kind of weird since they go hand-in-hand, but science is like math with a purpose. Haha.
I'm in AP environmental science, Psychology, World History, and Physics.
Next Year I get AP English 4 and what that meens is that the year after that I get to take AP English 5 so its not that I don't have to take it anymore but I can take a higher level English if I wanted to instead of stopping.
That's not how it works at all, you are exempt from that class cause you already have a credit for that class. Like in middle school I took Geometry and English 1 so my freshman year I can take Algebra 2 and English 2 because I already have credits for English 2 and Geometry. Same concept for the AP tests.
That was the best explination of the AP test I've ever heard.
every time I asked someone what it was and how it worked, they went into some kind of crazy spiral that somehow made its way back to no child left behind.
Well, you only get a little bit of credit for AP tests anyway. Colleges mostly only give like 5 credits or so for a really good score on the AP test. That means you can skip English 101 for example, and go straight on to English 102. That allows you to learn more in the higher division classes.
i took ap stats and got 3 credit hours for it. but i still had to take stats 211 this semester. which went super well cuz i already knew what i was doing and none of the other students had taken stats before. lol.
I pulled a C in AP Calc and managed to make the same grade on the AP exam as the guy with the best grade. The rest of my AP classes were in my major. I hate how I have to take Biology in college when I'm majoring in History.
You have super cute dimples. Don't hide them with a beard. =)
i actually passed my calculus AP test my senior year, but that doesn't mean it wasn't hard for me! LOL i liked math, but it was really difficult. you don't know how glad i am that i don't have to take it now.
it's good for people who are pretty good in the subject, but don't wanna do it all over again in college. lol
If you're taking AP english and you get a good grade on the AP test, then you don't have to take the standard writing and composition class in college. This way, it is out of the way and you can graduate earlier once you are in college. Usually when people really like something, they major in it and wind up taking more in depth classes on the subject anyway, and by taking the AP class and getting the credit, they aren't relearning material that may seem basic or boring.
I am in the AP US history class at my school but I opted out of the AP test because I am terrible at history. I have a D in that class right now maybe. But I am taking the AP English test next year though.
I had a teacher in high school that used to yell at us for trying to write above our level. Good idea...why challenge ourselves to be better than we are.
I say keep the beard, and I think AP is okay cause now I don't have to relearn the same World History bullshit all over again. But I did Dual Credit this year, its the same thing but I just get credit for passing the class instead :D
At least at my college, just because I passed the AP history exam doesn't mean I don't have to take history here. I have actually taken 3 history classes here, and two of them were required for my journalism degree..so i think AP exams can do nothing but benefit, i think i came into college with 4 credits which is pretty nice
i completely agree with you, then again, i also want to be a writer and i also hate math. though, the AP classes do have a lot to do with getting your associate's degree at the same time you graduate high school. then you've consecutively finished two years of college and high school, thus have to spend less money on tuition/room and board/books in college (:
I think some other people have said close to the same thing, but AP classes are basically used to help the student get past all of the bullshit easy stuff they would already know, and its helps them get that much closer to graduating.
To be honest, your train of thought makes more sense though. :)
I actually have my AP World History test next Thursday. Interesting little tid bit for you.
And I say yay on the beard. Scruff is always nice. Haha. :D
But I took a test right after highschool, for my college, if I scored well enough, I'd be exempt from taking that subject's required/mandatory courses. But apparently no. Either my perception of the whole thing was wrong, or they screwed up, it just meant I got put in a higher math class WHICH IS SO FREAKING HARD. I am dying.
AP courses do not necessarily mean that you will never have to take that subject. There are a lot of english classes separate from the standard courses.
I went to college with 30 hours of credit thanks to AP. i think AP rewards you in subjects you suck in more than in subjects your good in. I love calculus and got a 5 on the AB calc test. Now I don't have to take it every again, but I wish I could take it again. but whatever thats 3 hours of credit closer to graduation.
Well, the AP exams, if passed, offer SOME college credit, but not more than 2 or 3 years, depending on the college you're to be attending and what subject it's in, but if you flourish in that subject, there's still of course more classes that you can take in it, so, essentially, AP will get you past all the classes that will be bullshit easy for you after you took that AP class and move you into higher-level college courses in that subject and, if it's your major, closer to your degree.
I think colleges try to make you a well rounded person. That is why we have all those GE classes to take (yes that means math too =/). At my college, even if you did well on the AP test, for example english, you would be placed in a higher level freshman english class. You would get college credit but you wouldn't be able to "skip" taking an english class.
Hm. Simple answer. Say you're really good at Math, and took the AP Calc exam. This only exempts you from the Calc 1 class, which is an entry level course for math majors. You still have to take higher levels of math, so yes, it does become more challenging..
brent can i make a video response relating to your topic. but not really answering the question? bc the video will seem really random if it isnt a video response lol
I'm sure someone has already said this...but...yeah, they are challenging you by making you take the classes you didn't rock at. You could just as easily "tap into your potential creativity" by taking more English or what have you on your own free will.
Im taking a gr12 photo course next year& they say if i pass the exam i cant take it again. I dont get it. they should let me take it again & even give me another teacher.
Whats wrong in wanting to do better? I dont get it. Ah well I get a spare! Thats always good!
Also,my guidence councler said in gr12 i dont hav to take math either. Which is good!
I thought that was because you were already good enough in that field. If you want to tap into your creativity for English then write a book and see where that goes :p
But if you did well in English and were exempt from taking Math then you'll keep on getting better at English but still suck Math.
They want you to take classes on subjects you AREN'T good at. They want to help you improve yourself in that area. That's why you have to take classes you're bad at, and not one's you'd already know how to do everything well in.
what you said is so true but most people don't really think about it until after the fact. it's good if you're pre-med so that if you did well in ap bio and can skip intro bio in college, and you can take an upper level bio class and get that credit towards your major. premed classes are pretty heavy so whatever you can do to lessen the load is great. man, the last time i took an ap test was 3 years ago. i'm so old...lol
I just thought that it was an excuse from that level of "whatever subject." I mean, I got a two on both Calc and US History, so I'm brainless, but I just figured, "If I pass, I get to move on to the cooler, harder stuff."
Im a senior in hs and just took the AP Gov test on Mon. I have take AP Lit, AP Macro Econ, and AP Micro Econ later this week.
Yes, the point of taking (and doing well on) AP tests is to get college credit. The classes are supposedly (key word: supposedly) to be college level classes, so kids who do well on AP tests won't have to repeat the same or similar classes in college. It's good for kids since they don't have to take a boring freshmen english101 but instead a more challenging class.
I clepped out of English too, and you're right :( I'd rather be taking those classes. But, hey, whatever speeds up the graduation process.
Also, the AP biology test was beastly. I'd like to shake the hand of the person who could pull off a 5 on that. I'm pretty sure my entire class drew doodles for the essay answers.
We're opposites Brent. I hate English and I love math. I aced Algebra II Honors last year and currently screwed grade for English IV Honors this year.
I never took any AP classes. I was an underachiever band nerd in high school (which is kinda an oxymoron).
I also hate math. I was stupid and waited until right before Im about to transfer to take it. So now I have to take it over the summer so I don't pay an arm and a leg to fail it again.
Dude! I am in the developmental process of creating a beard i phone app that once the user downloads will immediately have a full hearty and masculine face of hair that the ladies go CRAZY for! LOL Loved this video. Seriously how messed up is that? Just another reason for me to justify my dropping out of college FOREVER!
I took AP in high school and am now exempt from several classes. I agree with you though, you should continue to pursue that field if you are good at it. I think the system is counting on you being good at a subject/liking it enough to challenge yourself, to consider making that field a major. This way you get to skip the 400 person intro level classes.
and yes, finals kill. lucky people on the semester system are almost done, if not done already. ...bastards..
i never understood the people who freaked about the test when it came... i'm also a fantastic "bullshit artist" which earned me some badass grades. hah

I went to college with 30 hours of credit thanks to AP. i think AP rewards you in subjects you suck in more than in subjects your good in. I love calculus and got a 5 on the AB calc test. Now I don't have to take it every again, but I wish I could take it again. but whatever thats 3 hours of credit closer to graduation.

Well, the AP exams, if passed, offer SOME college credit, but not more than 2 or 3 years, depending on the college you're to be attending and what subject it's in, but if you flourish in that subject, there's still of course more classes that you can take in it, so, essentially, AP will get you past all the classes that will be bullshit easy for you after you took that AP class and move you into higher-level college courses in that subject and, if it's your major, closer to your degree.

I think colleges try to make you a well rounded person. That is why we have all those GE classes to take (yes that means math too =/). At my college, even if you did well on the AP test, for example english, you would be placed in a higher level freshman english class. You would get college credit but you wouldn't be able to "skip" taking an english class.

Hm. Simple answer. Say you're really good at Math, and took the AP Calc exam. This only exempts you from the Calc 1 class, which is an entry level course for math majors. You still have to take higher levels of math, so yes, it does become more challenging..

I'm sure someone has already said this...but...yeah, they are challenging you by making you take the classes you didn't rock at. You could just as easily "tap into your potential creativity" by taking more English or what have you on your own free will.

Im taking a gr12 photo course next year& they say if i pass the exam i cant take it again. I dont get it. they should let me take it again & even give me another teacher.
Whats wrong in wanting to do better? I dont get it. Ah well I get a spare! Thats always good!
Also,my guidence councler said in gr12 i dont hav to take math either. Which is good!
Glad to see your not dead
And dont worry about the beard thing

math sucks...English is pretty cool though...Im good at foreign languages too. do they have a test for that?
CrankTheMusic 2 years ago
I thought that was because you were already good enough in that field. If you want to tap into your creativity for English then write a book and see where that goes :p
But if you did well in English and were exempt from taking Math then you'll keep on getting better at English but still suck Math.
[No idea whether that made sense or not]

They want you to take classes on subjects you AREN'T good at. They want to help you improve yourself in that area. That's why you have to take classes you're bad at, and not one's you'd already know how to do everything well in.

what you said is so true but most people don't really think about it until after the fact. it's good if you're pre-med so that if you did well in ap bio and can skip intro bio in college, and you can take an upper level bio class and get that credit towards your major. premed classes are pretty heavy so whatever you can do to lessen the load is great. man, the last time i took an ap test was 3 years ago. i'm so old...lol

I just thought that it was an excuse from that level of "whatever subject." I mean, I got a two on both Calc and US History, so I'm brainless, but I just figured, "If I pass, I get to move on to the cooler, harder stuff."

Im a senior in hs and just took the AP Gov test on Mon. I have take AP Lit, AP Macro Econ, and AP Micro Econ later this week.
Yes, the point of taking (and doing well on) AP tests is to get college credit. The classes are supposedly (key word: supposedly) to be college level classes, so kids who do well on AP tests won't have to repeat the same or similar classes in college. It's good for kids since they don't have to take a boring freshmen english101 but instead a more challenging class.

yeah but after getting fives i didn't have to take any english at all. i guess i couldve taken some 4000 level courses...
but why? hm. haha
garblemuffin 2 years ago
I clepped out of English too, and you're right :( I'd rather be taking those classes. But, hey, whatever speeds up the graduation process.
Also, the AP biology test was beastly. I'd like to shake the hand of the person who could pull off a 5 on that. I'm pretty sure my entire class drew doodles for the essay answers.

I never took any AP classes. I was an underachiever band nerd in high school (which is kinda an oxymoron).
I also hate math. I was stupid and waited until right before Im about to transfer to take it. So now I have to take it over the summer so I don't pay an arm and a leg to fail it again.

I took AP in high school and am now exempt from several classes. I agree with you though, you should continue to pursue that field if you are good at it. I think the system is counting on you being good at a subject/liking it enough to challenge yourself, to consider making that field a major. This way you get to skip the 400 person intro level classes.
and yes, finals kill. lucky people on the semester system are almost done, if not done already. ...bastards..

Although I've never took them, I'm pretty sure it's just like all tests. Freaking out just makes it worse.
Bullshitting is sometimes the way to go though, so it works. I do it often myself :]
