How many of you are taking AP tests? How many? It just seems kind of asinine to schedule the state academic tournament in the middle of AP's. I would probably think that about 90% of the gente there are probably taking at least one AP.

I don't, but Dane has a very busy week including a chemistry contest tomorrow, an AP test or 2, State, and Prom that night. (Prom's landed on the same day as State for at least the past 3, maybe 4, years)

1. My high school didn't have AP because half the school couldn't spell AP.
2. Our prom was on the night before GPML State, so I know what you're going through.

I took English Language/Comp this morning, my only one. (Thank goodness) Curse whoever came up with these writing tests. Now, if they had questions like "Name the author that wrote this book" that would be a different story.

Dual enrollment was wonderful. Got much of the LSP out of the way.

I was just wondering, because it makes preparing for state a real pain for us because everyone has 1 to 3 AP's this week. Even though the tests do suck, they are good. I found out that at Wheaton College (a pretty good school) with AP and an accelerated Master's program, you can get a master's degree in four years. That is pretty nice for paying $82 a test.
I got Spanish Language, Calculus BC, Lit/Comp, and Physics B.

A word of warning, do not ever take Stats, it is quite possibly the most worthless semester and 4 hours you will ever spend in your life.

Be assured that I thank God every night that I will never have to take a Stats class again in my life.

nope, thank goodness. But i have heard how much the class sucks. Not so much that it is hard but doing the same thing over and over gets old and boring

Statistics is an essential skills course at Truman - they offer 30 sections a semester.
I'm taking it this summer at Maple Woods.
