I would also like to mention College Board is a scam. First I have to pay $83 to take a test with information on it that hasn't really changed in years. Then I have to pay $8 if I want to get the results back sooner. Then I have to pay to take the SAT II's on the same topic. Then I have to pay to take the SAT's.

Eh, its not a scam, it's a not-for-profit who proably pays way too much money to it's leaders. It is well worth the fairly cheap $83 per test if you pass the exams. 1 unit at the school I attend costs about $750, when you consider that an $83 test can replace three to four units it is a really good deal. At alot of Community or Junior Colleges you can barely take a class for the price of an AP test.

By the way, you don't "have" to do any of these things, but it would be very wise to do them (You don't have to take AP tests, pay for the results early, take SAT II's or SATs, you could always go to a junior college and not do any of these things). I wish I had taken more AP classes in high school, would have saved me some boring college classes and lots of money.
 
School started back up on the 20th here. I'm a sophomore at Arizona State.

Biology 100 (The Living World) - it's a university requirement to take 2 science classes. This is my last one.

French 101

History 456 (The Vietnam War) - goes toward my History major

Art History 438 (Duchamp) - goes toward my major, plus a class on Duchamp sounds like it could be fun.

I didn't do any AP in high school, but instead I did dual enrollment. I would suggest that over the AP test any day. I got credit through a local community college while taking the class in high school. No tests involved. If I passed the class I got the credit. It's my second year here at ASU, but I could easily graduate with my B.A. a year early if I do some summer classes thanks to dual enrollment.
 
I've already been in my current semester for 6 weeks now:

Embedded Microprocessor Systems
Physics II
Interpersonal Communication
 
i am teaching two graphic design classes this semester; one in visual thinking + semiotics and one that is 12 week revolving workshop that is going to be based on chance + limitation.

tho the first class does start in 10 days.... i should get my syllabi together!

Believe it or not, this is the hardest schedule I can have at my school
No college courses
No APs, I am bored out of my mind during most classes.

I hate my school, about until its time for the golf team to start up, missing classes to play golf FTW!

Best part about high school right there. I missed sooo much class for golf, it was amazing, although at times annoying when you were missing english or french or math. We had one of the best teams in the state which made it even better, sooo much free golf, I can't afford to play now that I have to pay. I only had 3 classes my senior year; free first period, TA for a friend of the golf coach 5th period, and golf 6th period. Man were those great times.
 
I am a senior in high school

AP GOV
AP Physics
Film
AP Lit
AP Calc but I am trying to drop it and take calc at the city college so I get out at lunch and only have it 2 nights a week.
 
Im a senior at High school as well, my subjects are:
English
French
Norwegian
Politics
Religion
Modern history
Gym
Well its pretty straight foreward I guess.. Next year I´m off to study music though, should be good
 
AP classes and test everyone takes are over rated and in some ways will hurt you in the long run because they miss material you need. The APing out of English hurts because they will teach the test and you never learn the skills required. The cal one I watch student after student fail Cal II and III because they never really learned what was required and had learn the basic stuff alone with the harder new stuff.

As for what I am taking my last semster in college

Steel Design
Capstone Design
Linear Algeria (for my math minor)
Landscape Architecture (Multi culture requirement)
A Sr seminar dealing with finding a job and life after college (I needed to take 1 more hour and it looked useful)
Internship class (3 hours of credit on the internship I did over the summer, I write 1 paper for it and that is pretty much it)

All and all official 15 hours of course work. Reality I have more like 9 so my last semester of college is pretty light.

That is so true, I regret taking all the AP classes I could thinking they would prepare me for college, instead I passed very few classes to get credit and the teachers did not teach me actual college teaching.

As for me I graduated in 2005 from Loyola Marymount University, but now I am enrolled in Santa Monica College to get my Web Design/Programming Certificate and take courses I feel can help me achieve my profession as in Design courses, business, accounting, grammar (because I suck, damm public education) and other stuff I see needed.

I like to see life as a long class room of learning, and being in the technology industries, you always need to be training.
 
Junior at A&M:

Programming Logic and Design
Statistical Methods
Data Communications and Networking
Operations Management
Legal and Social Environment of Business

It depends. 2nd tier and top tier private schools often won't accept community college credit. APs and IBs however may opt some out of foundation requirements.

To soundie, religion? I guess you're not at a public school!

I note that only because I went to a public school and when I was there we had a class called "the bible as literature" my first year but they got rid of it pretty quickly. Can't remember if a parent complained or someone inside. Anyway, after 2 years, no more.
 
freshman at highschool

Honors Geometry
Honors English
Advanced Physical Science
Sdvanced U.S. History

(the advanced classes are just where they have separated the more "advanced" students from the not as advanced ones. That way we can apparently go farther in our studies.)

Well yea it's not a scam but someone's definitely getting rich. You HAVE to take the SAT's or ACT's to get into any decent college.

As for AP tests if you want to show colleges how much you retained and achieved in the AP class, you should take the test.

I thought for sure I was going to have the most boring schedule, but first year is definitely worse. For me:

Business Organizations
Decedents' Estates
Professional Responsibility
Constitutional Law
Income Tax

And then I'm helping run an undergrad business class in Human Resources Management. And then there are my two jobs... But this is just supposed to be about our classes.
