my whap teacher is so good. im in it right now sophomore year and she doesnt quiz on textbook, she just lectures the whole class and we take notes and she pretty much quizzes and tests on what she talks about. also, shes a collegeboard grader so she really knows her stuff and its great. we dont get any homework, we just listen in class.

I like how I’m not the only one here who was completely shocked by the AP World ranking. It was undoubtedly a top 3 favorite AP class of mine and was most likely the most interesting. I took 18 AP classes, and this one was undoubtedly one of my favorites. It really just depends on the teacher honestly

I’m truly great full for having the best ap teachers in my school (only speaking of the history ones) Ap world was so fun for me and great. My teacher was so nice, smart and knew how to organize her work. She never did textbooks, we did hands on activities and games. We didn’t even have quizzes but just review of what we had learned that year. She truly was the best and grateful she made the class fun. It also prepared me for AP us

As a student at a school with only 2 AP classes I'm glad too hear US history and Calc BC ranked high for you haha.

AP World was also my first AP class and my worst grade. It’s really problematic, because you go your whole life learning US History, to learning about hundreds of years in 2 weeks.

Honestly, I strongly agree with you on the CSA aspect. For some reason, the course expects students to already know a large portion of the content, which really creates a big divide between new coming students and those that have been studying for years. For example, the recent CSA AP exam for 2023 had quite possibly one of the hardest questions for the Free Response portion, however, for students that have studied for a while and had a bit more experience with methods not even taught in the curriculum, it was a lot easier. It is also a big contributing factor to why a lot of people score well - they already know what they're doing even before taking the course. I wish not to discourage anyone looking to take the class, don't get me wrong, it's an excellent class with a lot of crucial content for anyone looking to get into CS, however, be prepared to do a bit extra work out of class if you are not ALREADY familiar with Java as a language.

I agree with your top 1, AP Bio. I loved the class my sophomore year and the teacher was very helpful and had knowledge as both a previous AP tester but also a cancer researcher.

AP Bio is the only AP class that I thought I’d love the most, so I took it as my very first AP class. I loved the material, especially the units on genetics, but the teacher started to become a main problem for me the closer we got to exam day. Don’t get me wrong, I like my AP Bio teacher. I think their funny, quirky, and make the topic more entertaining. However, they’re very forgetful and usually plans what’s going to be taught the day before. Additionally, they’re bad at publishing the material online for people who were absent. My grade definitely dropped some percentiles because I was absent and finally got the notes and worksheets a week later (I sent her an email the day I was absent and she promised she would published them and didn’t 😢). We have no time in class to study for the exam, beside an FRQ practice, so we have to do it on our own time outside of school. I don’t feel ready for the exam and take it in 4 days. I think I’ll get a three, but I hope for something higher. I’m glad AP Bio is on the top of your list, but I believe some of my future AP classes will outrank it for me, even though I love genetics so much.

seeing AP World last while my test is in 3 days really makes me happy knowing that i'm not the only one who thinks AP World sucks

I pretty much just finished my ap world course and the firsr half of the year was the worst experience of my life. With marching band taking halft my work time at home and the fact we had 2 different assignments one from a resource packet where we answered questions on documents and another with more documents but with stupid questions (the human records ifykyk). But later in the year when we basically did ap exams for hw whether it was a short response LEQ/DBQ blueprint or MC. And I had a really smart friend who took ap world who genuinely saved my ass and locked me. And the ap exam felt so easy thx to ap exam prep being hw (Mr. boardman da best)

My ap world class my teacher was extremely lazy. During review he would just get review quizzes on each couple parts of the unit with no guidance for studying. I did good on the AP test, but he was awful at teaching and might as well just not been there. Also, he didn't stress the fact that things like Unit 9 would barely be on the test cause he barely teached it to begin with. A lot of students stressed out over this, when there was maybe 1 or 2 mcqs abt it and no writings.

I also had the open note quizzes our teacher also basically told us how to study for them and we went through what would basically be on the test.

"already knowing polish," he says, casually

If I could go back to back to HS and take AP courses (I only took 1 AP class in HS, AP Statistics), I'd take AP Calc AB (unless engineering or medicine), (1 of 2) AP World History or AP US History, (1 of 2) AP Chem or AP Physics (Any of them), AP Biology - then if your are a business or accounting major or economics major, I'd recommend the AP economics exams and the AP Statistics exam (Econ and stats not required for other majors). If you are an engineering or medicine major take the both AP Physics C and AP Chemistry, Calc BC. Do not take AP English - the college course is easier than the exam. This will save you tons of tuition money and you'll basically be through a 1-2 semester's worth of classes and save money. Some colleges do not require foreign language study. Even if you do bad on AP exam - you'll get a second chance to better in college but will cost you $$$ and time. I was a business accounting major but went to college as an engineering/physical science/undecided. Also it's better to cut AP history exams and AP biology exam because the other classes are often pre-reqs to more advanced courses and the college class is most likely easier than the AP exam (unless you go to a college that's really competitive). Also the more prestigious university you go to, classes become more difficult. Also consider AP English if you are naturally good at English class, and don't want to take it again in college/save money. But I'd focus on the 4 exams, 1 Calculus, 1 Physical Science, 1 Biology, 1 History. Also the college history classes are often easier than the AP exam but the AP exam usually gets counted as 2 courses. I'd also recommend good students consider less prestigious universities that offer financial aid (major in engineering or accounting for job offers). The less prestigious schools have worse career services so having a marketable skill is more important (and bigger curves on exams).

Not sure if you will see this but I’m going into sophomore year. Freshman year I didn’t do any AP classes and this year I want to push myself. I’m thinking of doing the highest level of Spanish but have no idea what else to do. I really like English and history so definitely want an AP class on those . I’ve never been great at math so not sure what type of math class to take. I’m not very educated on all the different classes that I can take and all the lingo…so some advice would be greatly appreciated!

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?

I've heard not to take AP Chemistry, but I've already taken Honors Chemistry and gotten an A and I'm doing really well. Should I take it for my junior year?

APUSH was torture - in comparison to world, it’s like an unbearable bore all year

Im in AP world right now, and its so very difficult, but I am learning so much, (ap test tmr)

Your ranking of APWH is odd. It's the only AP I've taken so far (my school only permits students to take APs as early as sophomore but I could have easily aced it in freshman year) and it was super easy for me. I wonder what was different between our AP learning.

Hi, thanks for the informative video! quick question here: I didn't take any AP classes in 9th or 10th grade, (i'm currently in 10th right now) and I was wondering if I'm able to still transfer the AP credits from 12th grade to college even if they won't see my test scores by the time I apply to college? or does it depend on the college? Thanks!

How hard were AP Lang and AP Lit? I am an average writer and reader, and I was wondering what your thoughts were on it. Do you think I should take it?

How international students are supposed to take AP classes?

it's weird that apworld is the hardest, maybe it's because in our district it's purely a junior-level class and thus we've had time to develop better study strategies, but i feel it's far more fun and rewarding than apush

What is your take on AP Statistics

Am I the only one who really enjoyed AP world and american histories?

sigma jawline

did you skip ab calculus? 😂

Ap world is so easy bro what

My advice: DO NOT TAKE AN AP CLASS ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!
