AB/BC is technically considered a "year long" class. First 18 weeks (July-->December) is AB, and the second 18 weeks (January-->May) is BC. I'm taking the BC Exam haha, alot of colleges around here don't take the AB subscore seriously. But you do have to take AB before BC.

My first semester is AP Chemistry, AP Calc AB, Lifetime Sports I, and APES.

My second semester is AP Eng Lit, AP Calc BC, Teacher Cadet II, and Honors Adv. Applications of Biotechnology.

AP Psych was absolutely amazing. I want to double major in college for Business (Pre-Law) and Psychology.

AP Human....*shudder* It's statistically the worst AP exam score throughout the nation, and for good reason. AP exam tests you on current events, not what you learned in the actual class. -_- Plus my immature sophomore self was perplexed to death.

APES is a ****ing joke. Easiest AP Class in the world.

Yeah at my school what they did was after you finished trig, based on how well you did you would either be placed in Pre-Calc AB or recommended for Pre-Calc BC which you could accept or reject. These set you on your respective "track" for the AP course.

Then the next year after finishing Pre-Calc you would move into the AP AB or BC depending on how well you did in your pre-calc course. So technically I never took Calc AB but my BC class covered everything I needed to know for the overlap sections on the exam and then BC only section of course.

Difference just comes from the fact that my school was of the 8 class for a full year design instead of the 4 classes per semester design.

But yeah point is, I really wouldn't count them as separate classes since you're really only taking one exam, the BC. The two classes have too much overlap to really be considered separate if you're doing the full BC track.

Yeah Psych is pretty interesting, I took an intro level psych course (which is pretty much the AP curriculum) my 2nd semester at college freshman year and really liked it.

What's Teacher Cadet II rofl?

@ Mac nah I don't watch it but I've heard it's mad good. Trufax?

I'm running a game in Decisive Games. I think I have a right to be here.

Anyways I'm only taking 4 AP courses this year: Calculus AB, Physics B, Psychology, and Statistics. I wanted to add Environmental (lol) to Statistics (lol) but the school wouldn't let me, so I had to settle for 4 instead. I'm not allowed to take AP as a Sophomore, which is unfortunate because I would've handled Biology (took it Junior year) with Statistics (lol).

Meta-Kirby, your school has an interesting GPA. If you have A's in most of them how come your GPA borders a 5?

Certain academic classes are required, such as Healthful Living, 2 Foreign Language credits, which brings my GPA down.

My classes since Freshman Year to Junior Year:

Healthful Living = A (4.0)
Honors English I = A (5.0)
Honors World History = A (5.0)
Honors Earth Science = A (5.0)
Astronomy = A (4.0)
Digital Arts I = A (4.0)
Algebra I Plus = A (4.0)
Honors Geometry = A (5.0)
-----
AP Human Geography = A (6.0)
Honors Civics and Economics = A (5.0)
Honors Algebra II = A (5.0)
Drafting I = A (4.0)
Latin I = A (4.0)
Latin II = A (4.0)
Honors Biology = A (5.0)
Honors English II = A (5.0)
-----
AP English III = A (6.0)
AP US History = A (6.0)
AP Biology = A (6.0)
AP Psychology = A (6.0)
Honors Chemistry = A (5.0)
Honors Teacher Cadet I = A (5.0)
Honors Pre-Calculus = A (5.0)
Honors Anatomy and Physiology = A (5.0)
Formula is:

Class GPA Total/ Total Number of Classes = GPA

So you get 4.916, my GPA lol

Ahhh. Interesting. You only need two years of a foreign language.

Our school is unconventional and measures GPA differently through compounds and whatever. So my GPA is like a 3.698 out of a 4.0.

Yeah, I forgot honors/ap courses get higher points in the GPA. My school doesn't do that.

Monday-weds

I'll probably be able to get some posts in especially tues, but monday and weds are reliable 9-9 days for me because of class and work.


Generally too exhausted to post after that.

Check the news. Tropical depression-storm-hurricane possibly coming to Miami. If that happens, my activity is screwed. So, if I'm not here after the natural disaster hits, I'm V/LA until further notice.

Vacation / Limited Access.

If you're doing **** that doesn't involve Mafia, post that **** here, so people don't ***** about the fact that you don't post ****.

^___^ That was unnecessarily expletive.

No, like, if somehow you were to possibly wander away from a computer for an extended amount of time due to unforeseen or foreseen events, then you would need to post that here so people in Mafia games don't get mad about your inactivity.

Not really, that was just discussion. V/LA is if you are going on vacation and won't have internet, or if you have extenuating circumstances that disallow internet use, such as gordito's hurricane problem or my computer death.

Speaking of which, Bad News everyone, my motherboard got damaged somehow, so I need to get a new computer... Thankfully I do have some financial aid I can use, but I do have to gather the rest of the money, so gonna finish my games and then prolly have a forced break, or at the very least only one game at a time.
