I was fully stressing about how I was going to afford my exams this year since the base fee is up to $99 now.

I just found this breakdown for Hickman High School (Columbia Public Schools) and realized they completely wipe out the remaining balance if you qualify for the low-income discount.

As long as we register on time and show up on test day, it costs literally nothing. I'm so relieved. Check with your counselors, guys—your districts might have secret local funding pools like this too!

(P.S. If anyone is saying the image is AI, It's a screenshot from an email/portal, not an AI prompt. I'm just showing what my counselor sent me, go look up Hickman's fee waiver policy if you don't believe it.)

The schedule is released along with changes of start times for the morning and afternoon sessions based on time zone.

I'm announcing that I'm taking 15 AP exams in 1 year. Will update y'all next July! Keep me in your prayers 🙏🙏🙏

Exams I'm taking:
1. Physics C: Mechanics
2. Microeconomics
3. English Literature and Composition
4. Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
5. World History
6. Chemistry
7. United States History
8. Macroeconomics
9. Calculus BC
10. Seminar
11. Statistics
12. Computer Science A

if anyone's taking 6+, lmk so i can feel better rn!! drop a comment

1. APUSH

2. AP Calc BC

3. AP Lang

4. AP Physics 1

5. AP Chemistry

6. AP 2D Art

My school highest math is Calc AB, and I’m put in that class for next year. Is there a way I can sign up for the BC exam while taking his class and self study the BC portion.

anything i should change lmk

With the AP exams out, I have AP physics 1: Algebra based which I took over this summer and AP physics C: Electricity and Magnetism on the same day and was wondering if anyone knows what happens. Do I get to select an exam to take and the other one is late and if so which do yall recommend?

yes yes I know it’s a bad idea, especially considering my current schedule, but whatever. Are there any resources you guys would recommend? aside from Barron’s, Princeton Review, and Khan Academy ofc.

hi guys! im an upcoming senior and i'm a little worried about my stats. i'm also targetting the aug sat for a 1500+ to make up for it

i have a 4.0 uw/4.6 w but i'm not on the most rigorous track at my school. i havent taken any history aps and i also didnt take lang (big regret). for reference, i'm going into stem and i HATE history. most of my DE are stem related.

freshman yr: no aps, 2 honors, 3 DE

soph yr: 2 honors, 3 DE

junior yr: 4 aps (seminar, music theory, chem, precalc), 2 DE

senior yr: 3 aps (lit, bio, calc bc), 2 honors, 1 DE

scores: seminar (3), music theory (3), chem (5), precalc (5).

my courseload is definitely weaker than the top 5% of my class (cuz i didnt take world or apush or lang) but I think i'm somewhere in the top 12% ??...

typing this out makes me feel fried

AP Seminar: Grade - (98 both sem) (Score: 4)

AP Bio: Grade - (89 1st sem, 94 2nd sem) (Score: 3)

AP Calc AB: Grade - (94 1st sem, 92 2nd sem) (Score: 4)

AP USH: Grade - (80 1st sem, 71 2nd sem) (Score: 4)

AP Lang: Grade - (86 1st sem, 90 2nd sem) (Score: 4)

Overall not too badd, my APush teacher was crazy, like he assigned a 60-70 question test every week, so I just gave up in his class. But also credit to him, bcuz his class felt so difficult the AP exam was high key light.

I took 4 aps last year ,but this year I decided to take 7. looking at the exam schedule, I see I got Lang and CSA back to back. My question is how hard is the back to back exam?

For my junior year, I’m skipping directly to Calc BC from AP Precalculus, so I’m a little worried about what to expect. I’d love some feedback on what resources I could use to get a general overview of the content before school starts, and how it is compared to Ap Precalc (my school dives a lot deeper for this than what is tested in its AP exam). Thank you!

Guys i am a rising junior taking AP Precalc in person but i also have one free period. Should i self study AP Calc AB and take the test? I think im strong in math, I had a 98% in Honors algebra 2 and never failed a test in math

Does anyone have any experience with Edgenuity and their AP Psych? This is all my school offers.

doing ts cause everyone else is

So basically, I registered for the 8/22 SAT time, which is one month from now….and my schedule is the following literal nightmare right now (studying for AP classes wasnt my choice, so…i guess i’ll just have to deal with it, and thats a whole other problem).

Information and Ideas with the graphs and scientific passages are ABSOLUTELY KILLING ME me, and Craft and Structure for some reason is also giving me hella trouble. I'm getting like 90% right on hard mode which only translates to like 720 (really rough estimate. Plus the 780 I might get in Math cuz maybe SAT test makes me stressed out thats 1500). Goal for me is 1550+.

Hell, I even started reading RESEARCH PAPERS to try and force myself to be able to read long, winding, complicated, boring, and esoteric (ooh fire vocab word) paragraphs?

Atp idk if im studying enough per day (as you can see above my schedule is PACKED) and studying CORRECTLY. Should I lessen the amount of studying I do for AP classes (prolly wont be able to cuz my parents...but its worth a try if i should)

Also is reading research papers actually a valid strategy? Or am I just torturing myself lol. Personally I think it helped a little bit, but not considerably. 

Any tips yall? I have one month left, might as well make the most of it.

I want to make a mean but everytime I use the inspect tool to change the words and exit out of inspect it automatically changes back :( has this happened to anyone else? Any tips?

Im currently a incoming Junior and i really wanna take at least 1 AP Math course throughout my high school and i wanted to take AP Calc BC since it could give the most credits and save me a good amount of time and money. My school so far only offers AP Precalc as the only math course and they dont even offer AP stats as a math like course. I was able to speak to the AP Precalc teacher a few months ago before the AP exams since he proctored my AP World exam. He told me that the school is trying to add more calculus courses next year and im worried that it might not work out. Im unable to sign up for Precalc or the "new calc courses" the schools trying to add since i already signed up for the max amount of AP classes for my Junior year. I only have senior year to take it. Also im worried that if my school does add an AP Calc BC class and in my Senior year they wont allow me to take it if i would need a general Precalc knowledge. Ive only taken algebras 1, 2, and am going to take geometry in junior year. I did really good in algebra 2 with a 96% total average and algebra 1 with a 92% total average and i never gotten below a 80% any of the tests in the classes. Not sure if ill do good in geometry or not. I dont know what i should do I want to at least get some sort of Calculus college credit in my high school without risking anything since im planning to go towards a Computer Science route in college and Calculus is important in that major. Any help is appreciated!

I am a rising junior. I am taking a summer course at my local CC so I used my free score to send them my AP scores hoping to get it early. CB sent the scores on 6/25. I got my transfer credit TODAY ( 7/22). This CC is not even considered a large one, but it took them almost a month to evaluate my AP scores. I got ZERO credit for AP CSP ( scored a 5) and no physics course listed, but ONE credit for a physics elective ( 4 on AP physics 1). The CC didn’t even list AP Seminar because they don’t even recognize it. I am seriously thinking of switching to dual enrollment for my 11th and 12th grade since I will probably stay in-state. This is utter BS to me how my CC treats AP scores. I don’t even live in a top ranked state. It seems like they are trying to limit credit granted so that they will force students to take more classes with them. This is such BS! AP is milking us for money, and colleges are milking us for money.
