I have criminal law tuesday and I have a headache. So many damn cases between these 4 subjects.

If you want to get some college credit or you are applying to a really competitive college that looks at AP scores for admissions, then you should literally be studying for the next 4 hours

Don't leave things to the last minute. I've got online tasks for Spanish due on Sunday, a Spanish test on Monday, two essays (totally 15 pages) to do for Management, along with a draft for a report for Marketing, due on Wednesday, and a Spanish composition due on Thursday. I have barely even started, and I'm working all of Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday .... sigh ...

Its a program that gives you credit for taking IB classes. IB = AP class bascially. Its hard to explain but not alot of schools have it

edit: I'm not totally sure. I just remember my friend's brother in HS was in IB classes and they were insane. He had to build a life-sized car for one class over 2 semesters.

I have my US history 2 AP test tomorrow also. And guess what, it's on my birthday.

I write the same test tomorrow, expect 80 MC of extreme difficulty (50%= a guaranteed 4 or 5) and two short essays which are basically long answer questions (what was napoleon's influence on nationalism, etc.?) and a Document Based essay where you categorize documents based on reaction to a source. Overall shouldn't be too tough. It's based on a curve of every single person in the world who writes the test. Also expect most questions before the 20th century. (Renaissance, Reformation, French Revolution, Enlightenment, etc.)

I'm taking AP US History tomorrow...it'll be the 6th AP test I've taken and the 4th this week. I took AP Bio and AP Chem last year, and this year I took AP Spanish, AP English, AP Calculus, and I've still got to take APUSH and AP Physics. My advice? Honestly, don't kill yourself studying. The tests are designed to be cumulative examsof the whole knowledge of the course, and you really can't learn it one night. At this point, you either know it or you don't. Obviously with a memorization subject like history, go over your notes and stuff and refresh your memory, but don't stay up till 1 in the morning cramming. Get a good night's sleep and if you've been doing the work for the past 8 or so months, you'll be fine. Good luck!

[QUOTE="Lethalhazard"] Pretty sure IB is way above AP. Maybe not WAY above but it's ivy league level for your age. Lethalhazard

Well, to be fair, my main high school next year is an IB school (not attending it though, going to TJHSST which is awesome), and IB essentially focuses like a more creative form of AP classes, and instead of taking college level courses, you reflect and synthesize more and are graded by several teachers around the world. Really, both AP and IB classes have their advantages, but by no means is IB viewed as better than AP. If anything, it depends on the colleges. A college like MIT would most likely prefer AP, while more humanities or liberal arts colleges would view IB as more suitable.

I normally am better with this, but I was out sick for 3 weeks, which put me three weeks behind and having nothing done and now all these things are due ... I'm nearly dead ...

Yeah know European History inside and out.

I took Calculus BC yesterday and German Language today. I will be taking both Physics C: Mechanics and Physics C: E&M on Monday, and I will also be taking Physics B on the 21st.

Lol APs.

Well your going to have to study your a** off if you really want to pass unless you are naturally a genius at the subject. My tips would be confident, go in knowing it can't hurt your grade, and can't do anything but help you if you pass:).

I've taken 3 this year, my Econ one is next thursday. So far they haven't been that bad this year.

Hopefully you'll learn how to spell tomorrow by then. Rheiken
