Yes we all get Cs on her tests (or lower). She wants us to get used to failure and I get the lesson but come on!

by no means am i a 4.0 student, however i normally only get 1 or 2 b’s per quarter and this quarter i feel like i’m falling behind. my junior year just started and i already feel as burnt out as i did at the end of sophomore year. i feel really stressed and struggle to avoid putting off my homework until really late at night which causes me to be sleep deprived, continuing the cycle. does anyone have any advice on how to stay on top of their work?

Hey everyone, can someone mark my AP COGO unit 3 frq 4 essay.

Prompt:

Essay:

"Informal political participation is greater in promoting legitimacy within a country. Not every government is going to respond to formal participation, especially authoritarian regimes. Informal participation ensures pressure on the government and the legislative body, making the legislatures and the members of the government to make discussions they were avoiding.

In the United Kingdom, the government passed a tax law where every citizen, no matter the class or financial situation, had to pay the same fixed amount. The citizens tried responding to this bizarre law formally, by providing notices and reports on how this law should be reverted. The government did not respond until the people took it into their own hands and protested. Protesting is a type of informal participation; the protest turned out to be rather violent, but as a result of this protest, the government withdrew this law and enacted another tax law that was much more satisfactory. This shows how sometimes informal participation, protesting in this case, can be more effective than formal participation.

In Russia, President Putin has enforced control over all media in Russia. The citizens have found ways to combat this by sharing online activism and political related content on underground platforms just to not be suppressed. Online Activism is considered Informal Participation. Instead of falling for the formal participation, which gives an Illusion of Influence to the people through voting, through informal participation they have genuine real influence. The illusion of influence is when governments make people think and feel like they have power, while in reality they don’t. Forms of formal participation are just included to bolster political legitimacy and to suppress protests.

Some might argue that informal participation might get shut down by authoritarian governments. This is true to some extent: everytime a government shuts down a form of informal participation the people find ways to still share their opinion and influence the domestic policies of their country through online activism, boycotting, or protesting and public gatherings. 

In conclusion, formal participation is not effective since it gives illusions of influence and is just used to suppress the voices of the people (in authoritarian regimes). While informal political participation ensures the people have real power and influence against the suppressive governments’ wishes.

im taking a group class and i feel like i dont understand anything. we're currently in dynamics but im still having issues with kinematics 💔 if anybody has tips for me its greatly appreciated

I put in a lot of effort to create these high quality notes during my Alevels journey and now I'm giving it all for free !

The notes are available at Notes Site ! I'd love to hear what you think about the notes, an honest opinion !

Im a student in an IB and american school however they dont offer AP. I want to atleast take 1 AP which is computer science A but people are telling me its very hard to self study and that you must have abit of coding experience before it.

Does anyone know if i can do an online course? Like someone teaches me it possibly a package or something?
if there is anything else i should know pls let me know because ive never been in an ap class only ib and british curriculum.

Thank you

im not sure how and where should I study. My school doesn't have any ap classes but i did sign up for Calc BC, CSA, Stats, Physics C: Mech as an external candidate (Junior year). I've seen daily videos and khan academy debated. I just want to use smth to know and understand the lessons then ill be focusing on mcq's and frq's. I should probably be able to study for 4-6h or so per day (i'm doing these as a european college entry requirement and not for credits.)

Sorry the title was so vague, but I lwk failed my first progress check (to be fair, I was half asleep, but still), and I really want to get a 5 on the exam. I'm a non-native speaker and I've taken up to Spanish 3. Please give me tips, I don't want to pay $99 just to fail 😭

I feel like I learned a lot, but I don’t know how to do the FRQs and my mindset on the subject hasn't really changed. I am actually panicking for the midterm because I have 0 idea how to write the FRQ, omg.

Is there any nice resource to study APAH except the khan videos and smarthistory?? 😭

I'm a senior in GA. Due to coming to Ga in junior year, I couldn't advance in math, so I took AP Precalc online via gavs this year and plan to take BC next sem. I'm just wondering how helpful it is for the actual exam

Sophmore here self studying AP World, Euro, Pyschology, and Macroeconomics, what textbooks would you guys recommend?

I was considering on whether to take DE Calc 1 and DE Calc 2 during my Junior Year or just self studying AP Calc BC. I am so glad I chose the latter option because the online classes for calc 1 fill up so quick that even my classmates who registered pretty quickly had to take an alternative one which meets every single day of the weekday and I don't know about you but I am not sacrificing my 1st and 5th period for calc 1 and I don't even know why they need every single day of the week to teach basically the arithmetic of college mathematics.

I have heard though they teach some random topics that are not relevant for any real life use like I heard once the teacher gave the students a riddle about countable and uncountable infinities like oh you can count all natural numbers in a finite time because 1, 2, 3, ..... and you can count all rational numbers by using matrices and doing a zigzag. I mean its interesting, but there really is no use for it in calc 1. I know some of you might argue oh this goes to show how dumbed down ap calculus is that they don't teach these topics that has no real application and I will say this why was calculus invented in the first place? It was invented by Newton to solve physics problems not as a weed out course for students.

Because I chose the Calc BC option I have more time to do my own things and schedule my own courses and because of this being self paced I have completed every single unit on the Khan Academy course and managed to finish the AP Physics C:E&M quizzes really quickly, I wish all courses were self paced.

I will say though I am worried about Calculus 3 registration for next year because scores don't come July but registration starts early May though from what I observed the seats fill up pretty slow and if I really need to I heard I can get a prereq waiver from the math department. Maybe I can charm then with my knowledge of infinite series. Also calculus 3 has no online course which I think is asinine because you don't have to be in person to learn mathematics, my experience has taught me that, but still I will only be getting Thursdays off from calc 3.

This is just an opinion piece for students who are choosing between these two options

Hello! I am a Junior in High School, and I’m currently taking 5 AP’s, but I also want to self study AP Calc AB, so that I can learn about Calculus, and possibly take the AP Calc AB test.

What resources could I use to help myself study for AP Calc AB, and if there are any practice questions or tests for certain units online, thanks!

My AP Bio teacher is a really kind lady, but she’s extremely disorganized. I was talking about this with some of my friends who had her class last year, and they told me that she’s know for not being able to get through many units. Many people I know who usually get 4s and 5s on AP tests reported getting a 1 or a 2, besides one person who I know hired a private tutor and got a 4. I don’t know of any free AP Bio tutoring, and I can’t afford anything super expensive.
Today, our teacher chose to push back our test and announced that we’re on pace with her classes in the past few years, which didn’t make it through Unit 6. I know unit 7 is an important unit, and I think it’s best for me to start my own self study curriculum now. She already doesn’t lecture or teach, just assigns packets of notes and slideshows.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know. I’ll share my self study curriculum with anyone who needs it. I enjoy reading, so if anyone has good book recs that relate to AP Bio I would love that.

I recently took my college board unit exam in AP Bio on my personal laptop. However, my teacher doesn’t allow that and I’m scared that I might get a possible penalty or whatever if he finds out. Am I in the clear?

hi! first time posting here. it’s my senior year and i am currently taking 5 aps, (ap environmental science, ap bio, ap gov + ap macro, ap stat, ap lit) do you guys have any study methods for memorization? i am mostly struggling in ap bio and ap gov from the sheer amount of details and vocab i have to memorize. i have tried blurting, mind maps, every single type of note taking ever but nothings sticking in my mind 😕

Ok, I don't know if this is a stupid/odd question, but does anyone have any information on the now discontinued AP Music Listening and Literature exam? All I can find online is when it was established (1971), how many people took it the first year it was offered (268), and then when it was discontinued (1991). I'm planning on majoring in music performance, so I'm just super curious about what another possible test I could've taken was. If anyone does, thanks!

I am a junior taking AP bio, APUSH and AP lang. I am a semi normal person with ecs everyday of the week. No, I do not have the "self studying nine APs mindset."

Its not just or only the coursework, its the fact that they are all so much homework and work. I do not know how to make a good schedule or how to divide my work while still studying :(

I took AP sem and AP world last year but they were far easier than this so I am not sure what to do. I also value my friends and my social life. I want to have a good schedule and I am not sure what to do. I want to ask for help making a good schedule and handling these classes before I crash later into the year.

How did you guys handle lots of APs? If you took these APs, how did you manage each? Any study tips? How do you manage your sleep schedule? How do you balance with a social life and ecs?

Also any SAT prep help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

my mom doesnt want to pay the extra 100, so i am unsure if i need to take the ap precalc ap test if i am planning to take ap calc snr year
