I finish my last one tomorrow.
US History, Chemistry, Calculus AB, and tomorrow is the English Language and Composition. If my school offered more than those four, I would take all of them, especially music theory since I've got a real good background in it (considering I've got 10 years of piano under my belt, and I'm going for a double major in piano performance and electrical engineering next year).
Calc was ridiculous on the free response, but the multiple choice was easy. The free response was of course word problems, but it sucked because it was charts instead of equations. I'm not good at charts instead of equations because we didn't really do much work with them, so I think in terms of equations.
History...geez that was sophomore year. I'm one of the best essay writers in my graduating class now thanks to that one class.
Chem...we had an easy class, but it didn't prep us as much for the exam. Only me and the smartest person in the class (he's a genius...got a five on calc AB, has a full ride scholarship to a private college, did a science project on geometric algebra, the works) got a 3 on it, because he was super smart, and I prepared a lot outside of class.
I also tied him in history, but I'll find out this summer whether I get a 5 on calc, and whether or not I tie/ beat him in AP english language and comp since he's in my class for that this year.
I think AP courses are awsome preparation though, they made me a much better student and prepared me more for senior year, with how much I took on this year. And it's all because I got a slot of a student that was believed not to be coming back the next year (for sophomore year) in AP history. If he hadn't thought he was leaving, I would have never gotten that slot, never been so prepared for all my other essays in other classes, not had the same discipline to get my work done, and everything. Cause history had the most rigorous instructor (she's now my western civilization teacher, and compared to history, it's still h*ll since we COMPLETELY FINISHED two textbooks and binders worth of lecture notes from the romans to modern times on everything from architecture, to culture, to music and politics. My physics class in comparison can't even finish one textbook.)
