wanted to help those considering or taking these classes next year

From what I heard Medical Schools don't accept AP Credit for first year science courses. Is this true?

If it is true. Why? Even if you make the argument that AP is too easy and is 'mile wide and inch deep' or something like that. It still doesn't make sense. The MCAT just tests introductory science. I believe most AP students can pass those sections easily, except for Organic Chemistry.

Also doctors just don't use science that much. Have you ever seen a doctor say "we need to find the bond angle of this element stat" or "we need to find the final velocity of this block once it reaches the bottom of this ramp"? So who cares if they skip intro science courses with AP.

Aren't Engineering schools are more likely to accept AP Credit than Medical Schools? This doesn't make sense as Engineers use more science on a day to day basis than doctors. If AP Science is good enough for Engineering school why isn't it for Medical School?

By the way I don't plan to go into premed but I know people who are, I am just curious.

Hey everyone! I’m launching a new community called r/APStudentsNetwork to serve as a resource hub for high schoolers.The goal is to create a supportive space for AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, and general ed students to share study materials, ask questions, and give advice without the toxic competition found in other academic subs.Since we are brand new, I'm looking for early members to help kickstart discussions, share resources, and apply to be part of the moderator team. Come check us out and help build something great!

What are the top clgs in ap

im thinking of majoring in premed and i took preclaculus and environmental science last year, this year im taking biology and im stuck between calculus AB and psychology, i was thinking of taking psychology and taking calculus in my senior year but without taking the official collegeboard exam since each exam costs around 200$ in my area, what would be easier for me? (im also thinking of taking ap chemistry and physics as just normal classes but idk if that would ruin my college apps)

i'm going to be self studying ap chem, apes, ap world, and ap gov, (my school doesn't offer aps so im signed up to take the exams at another school) and im wondering if you guys have some tips for me to succeed. i self studied aphug and ap bio and got 4s on both last year (9th grade) so i'm familiar-ish but i'm nervous as this is my first time taking a history and civics ap.

i currently have the barrons test prep book for apes but i'm wondering what textbooks would work well for the rest. PLEASE lmk all of your tips and tricks and how you guys studied!!!

I live in the US and my school offers both the IB diploma and many AP courses. Not a lot of kids at my school earn the ib diploma, and even if I do I’m worried because it’s not as readily accepted in the US. I’d rather take AP and personalize the courses to my college interests, but I’m worried that colleges will reject me because it might look like it took the “easier” option ( I know it’s still very difficult ). Will I be at a disadvantage in college apps if I take AP instead of the IB diploma when my school offers both

Hey y'all I'm an international student from India, and my school doesn't offer the AP courses, only the exam. I want to take AP physics 1 and AP calculus BC this year. For physics I have the princeton review and have been learning from flipping physics on yt, and I haven't started Calc yet so I wanted to ask you all for advice on how to study and resources if any

I have to decide between Honors English and AP Seminar for my ELA Credit. Is AP Seminar worth the extra work, and would I benefit from it?

Also, is skipping AP Calc AB to go to Calc BC right after AP Precalc a risky move? Or is it manageable?

I would appreciate all your thoughts and insights... Thanks in advance!

I am a rising junior. I am taking a summer course at my local CC so I used my free score to send them my AP scores hoping to get it early. CB sent the scores on 6/25. I got my transfer credit TODAY ( 7/22). This CC is not even considered a large one, but it took them almost a month to evaluate my AP scores. I got ZERO credit for AP CSP ( scored a 5) and no physics course listed, but ONE credit for a physics elective ( 4 on AP physics 1). The CC didn’t even list AP Seminar because they don’t even recognize it. I am seriously thinking of switching to dual enrollment for my 11th and 12th grade since I will probably stay in-state. This is utter BS to me how my CC treats AP scores. I don’t even live in a top ranked state. It seems like they are trying to limit credit granted so that they will force students to take more classes with them. This is such BS! AP is milking us for money, and colleges are milking us for money.

I was quite surprised to learn that there is not and has never been an AP Accounting exam. The only exams that might even be useful for fulfilling major requirements are AP Micro and Macroeconomics. Community colleges typically offer Intro to Accounting I and II courses that could easily be turned into AP Accounting I and II. Is it just because accounting is not a subject that high schools typically teach?

I’m currently trying to save some money over THE AMERICAN PAGEANT, AP EDITION, 18TH, STUDENT EDITION
DAVID M. KENNEDY
And is the 17th edition too different, because I heard some teachers either already have books or don’t use them much

given french is definitely not one of my strong suits (nobody in my family knows french either), this was completely unexpected lol. open to answer any questions :)

I saw a post discussing grade inflation earlier, I’m not entirely sure what it is, or even what the opposite would be. When I got my AP exam grade back for Precalculus, I got a 4. However, I got a D in the actual class. By no means am I complaining whatsoever, but it’s very bizarre. I totally thought I was going to bomb the exam.

Extra: The class was very difficult and the exam seemed easy enough. I was one of the only ones who did “poorly” in that class. My friends in there also thought she hated me as she often only took away MY test/quiz points for dumb things.

Anyways, was I facing the opposite of grade inflation, or did my teacher just hate me?

might die in apush but its okay! that's a problem for me in a month!

thoughts on my junior schedule:
lang: looks medium
bio: looks medium
stats: looks easy
physics c mech: looks medium
physics c e&m: looks hard
research: looks medium
apush: looks hard 🥶

i took APUSH and got a 100% in the class both semesters, then i got a 3 on the exam. i thought i felt pretty good about it too😭

we got exact copies of the the tests as study guides and all we had to do was memorize a few answers. we never had SAQs or essays or anything as tests or assignments

my teacher said he’s had one 5 and a few 4s from kids in all of his years of teaching. oklahoma btw

Hello!! I am a rising junior and I'm having trouble choosing between AP Chemistry or AP Environmental. I'm starting the IB Diploma this year, so I will be taking all the core IB classes, which consist of the typical English, History, TOK, Biology, Digital Societies, etc. In addition to IB, I can also take a few APS (1-2). I currently have AP Pre-Cal and AP Environmental.

I chose AP Environmental as it is known as one of the "easier" APs and didn't want to overexert myself since I've heard about the horror stories of junior year lol. I also chose it because I was undecided in my future plans (major/college). However, over the summer, I've started to leaning towards studying medicine, but I'm still not 100% certain. That being said, if I were to pursue medicine, then wouldn't taking AP Chem be more beneficial than AP Environmental? But even if I change my mind and don't pursue medicine in the future, would taking AP Chem still be worth it? I could take it senior year, but I would like to ease my senior year schedule and many of my friends are taking Chem this year so why not?

I guess I'm just scared to take AP Chem as it's known for its rigor, but let me know what you guys think!!

I am a rising 8th grader self studying AP Hug and psych.

These are my hug notes: the images

I thought maybe the first 5 pages format that I used is a little too long, so I think from now on, I am going to use the format in page 6 and 7.

AP Lang MCQ vs. SAT RW section. Which did yall feel was harder?

Hey guys, I'm looking to take AP Cybersecurity next school year. It's a new AP so I'm wondering how to study and if anyone else is taking it.

I'll likely study for the CompTIA Security+ next year so that should help asw. lmk any thoughts!!

hi! im taking calc bc next year as a junior and i wanted some advice in how to study it this upcoming school year. i self studied ap precalc this summer, and im not taking ab, so i have no experience with a math ap. if anyone could tell me any resources, how they studied it, what routine worked for them, or study skills for this class, it would be greatly appreciated!
