[anger_is_my_frie...]

[shortiiex]

Last year i was in SPE, an honors class and it sucked. everyone is so boring and nice
But this year...

[Nicolatofu]

yeash, all my academic classes are AP whatever....and i absolutely hate english..yuck

[lAzN YiN YanGl]

YES AP biology SUCKS!!! I love my AP English though (I'm in english 10) because my teacher is GREAT! She is the most perverted teacher ever and its really funny, and she also gives us the funnest projects :-D! AP s.s is just plain HORRIBLE! So much work! Honors (haha my lowest course...not rubbing it in cause I'm failing everything :-P) Geometry is just plain useless...

[OhXiet_ItzDonnA]

yeah, i'm in honors and my best friend was in honors with me last year and this year, they took her out. now i had to make new friends in my classes but yeah, i made new friends. oh and btw, ALL THE CLASSES SUX!! except spanish, that's a fun class!

[gigiopolis]

Not really. I got 100% in math honours and socials and english were freakin' easy...some argue, even easier than regular classes. *shrug*.

[inthemudhole]

I have only one honors class.. you can only take one in junior high unless you're like WHOAHA OGAGAMOGZ SMARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT.

I'm managing a B.

[*autumn.*]

taking:
ap bc calc
ap chemistry
ap us history
ap french language

i've taken ap psychology and ap music theory (just the test for that though)

theyre just like any regular class, actually. except with an extra .5

[*salcha*]

freshman right now.
im taking AP next year...uh ohh.

[Skyline Drive]

Im in AP environmental science right now.. It's not that hard I have an 82 in it right now

[Just_Dream]

The AP classes I"m taking are:

• AP English
• AP US History
• AP Calculus AB
• AP Biology

AP Biology is NOT hard, if your teacher can teach well enough to get you to fully understand what he's talking about. The book we're using is really Biochemistry, even though it says Biology on it. I do the study guides my teacher gives us, so I understand what's going on half of the time. The other half i'm somewhat clueless. The tests he gives us are extremely hard. We sort of cheat.. Well, we'd do the test and share answers haha. My bf and I sit next to each other. He's really good at guessing and helps me out. But besides the test, I usually do the work in the class, so I'm able to better grasp the information and maybe even remember it when I take the AP test. But I'd have to say that ap calculus is my hardest class right now.

AP Biology... if you READ THE BOOK, you'd probably understand better. Also, if you don't know what some of the terms mean, you should keep a vocabulary list, or look it up in the dictionary (online). It'll help you in the long run.

I took honor classes last year. Honors doesn't boost up our GPA, so..

[x-klutzibabi-x]

I'm taking...

Honors English 1
Honors Science Survey...although I'm suppose to be in Bio-Med
And next semester I'm taking Honors World History

Hahah, I'm also suppose to be in Geometery this year. But the teacher I had in 8th grade for Algebra didn't really teach us anything...so bleh..that was a waste of my time. Although I did end up with an A at the end on the year....but that was when I actaully started to understand it. So I'm retaking algebra again...which is so easy now...

[s0pnayish]

AP Art History and AP English Literature are easy. AP US Gov't is a pain in the ass though. I hate that class!

[xnastyninjagrlx]

It all depends on the teacher, I love AP EURO, my
teacher kicked ass!! BUt i hated AP ENGLISH, gosh
all english teachers can juss die..ENGLISH SUX!

[*tweeak*]

AP and honors arent really comparitive.

most of my classes are gifted, but i have some honors because of my inability to do math. no AP yet though. i was going to take AP world history, but im glad i didnt. my classes are a lot harder this year

[islandkiss]

my sister is in the honors class at her high school. she's planning to take AP biology and AP english next year. i'm in a regents/sp class. I can't complain.

[br0ken smile]

i'm not in any ap's, just honor classes

[sammehmyst]

We don't call any of our classes "AP."

Well, I'm in 7th grade, so.. yeah.

But, I'm in advanced middle school classes if that counts. =S

[silver-rain]

Well, I'm in AP Biology, AP Spanish and AP US.
and out of those 3, I think AP Bio is the hardest, and the one i'm doing the worst in. My teacher is ok, but the tests are really hard. I kinda understand what is going on though, but the tests are killing my average. But, AP Spanish is easy, because my teacher is good and really nice too. AP US is also pretty good. but AP Bio, grrr.

[ANG33ZY]

I'm only taking Algebra 1 Honors .. & it's my second year taking it cause i didn't pass the first year.. so it's not too difficult .

haha you cant call them AP, they are called AP. (if that makes sense)

[HongKongDong]

They aren't hard just too much work.... I think thats how my grade from AP Biology dropped down to an F so quickly because I just neglected the work from that class xD

Everything else im trying to do the HW but its just too darn much... I can't spend my whole day doing HW I gotta have my life too xD

.. Then why are you taking the classes? Just for a big boost in your GPA? Neglecting your homework and classwork has already resulted in your failure for that class... So what was the point in taking it? And I can't exactly find the post that uninspiredfae posted, but she said something along the lines of (which I'm paraphrasing) "Why bother taking an AP class when you can take a regular class and get a better grade?" What was the point in taking the AP class if you're too lazy?

Sure it's hectic to have so many AP classes and so much homework, but you should manage your time wisely. You shouldn't known better than to take so many, especially AP Biology. And I have 4 AP classes (there's 6 periods a day for my school), but I still manage to pull through with A's. It's just a matter of managing your time, not procrastinating, and most of all, actually TRYING to do the work, even if it may seem impossible. And don't forget to actually read some of the stuff.

There's people I know who have neither read their (text)books nor done the work -- they just copy the whole way through. They'll be screwed when they get into college. You're only hurting yourself by higher-level classes and failing them. You DO REALIZE that AP classes are college courses. And if you can't even handle them now, then you might not even make it through college.

EDIT: And I DO have a life. I am just able to get through the classes and able to do the work. When you're asked to read a book for class and given two weeks, don't go reading the book the night before or go on sparknotes and not read the book at all.. It won't help you in the longrun. MANGE YOUR TIME. Yes, I do procrastinate.
