What are some of the easier AP classes?
I'm currently a freshman in high school only taking AP World (my school only allows this or AP Human Geo for freshman), and it's not my best class but I managed to pass last semester with a B. For sophomore year, I'm on track to take APUSH which I know is one of the harder APs, and I was thinking about AP psych because I took psych this year and I find it really interesting. Are there any other AP classes that I'm able to take sophomore year that aren't as vigorous as AP World and APUSH? And is taking AP psych a bad idea for sophomore year?
What dual enrollment classes should I take if I’m wanting to be a cardiologist?
I am a sophomore and this past summer I took general psychology and rn I’m taking art appreciation. I’m in advanced classes rn but next school year they’ll switch to AP classes. My biggest goal is to graduate with an associates degree before graduating high school. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to but as long as I can get as much as the classes I need in high school, that’ll be great. Thanks!
Hi, I'm about to be a sophomore. And I wanted to do dual enrollment. I'm striving to be a nurse in the future. And I know if I take classes for dual enrollment, those credits can be transferred to college. If I'm striving to be a nurse what classes should I take, do I just take any like psychology and if I do, does that mean I won't have to take that class in college and also, they asked for what intended major or program of study I want to take, I'm curious what I should do for that. Thanks!

Should I take Honors Organic Chemistry and AP Chemistry together?

French IV AP Chemistry String Orchestra (Gym) I have space for 1 elective, so I was wondering if it would be better to take Organic Chemistry next year or senior year... if not, I can take Hon.

Chem together and AP Biology + Anatomy/Physiology together. Any thoughts? Thank you! #high-school-student #chemistry #AP #Honors #organic-chemistry #courses #sophomore
Can a student recover from failing a college class?
How many classes can a student fail before they are not able to succeed? Can a student recover from a few failed classes after retaking them and getting a better grade? What happens when you take a class that cannot be retaken because it is above 3000, but you need it to succeed? Can I still make a 3.5-4.0 GPA with failed classes that have been retaken? These are the questions I have as a student who went through failing a couple of classes because of being stressed my first semester and now trying to make up for it. I have never failed classes before until University and have been an almost straight A student all through HS and community college. Now I'm struggling. I need reassurance of whether I can make it through college and make the good grades and high GPA I want, but with full honesty. #college #grades #gpa #classes #failure #help #mental-health #recover #recovery #student #student-development #freshmen #sophomore #class #stress #stress-management #university

Can you take an AP exam without taking the class?
I honestly am not interested in AP I am more interested in IB however I do want to utilize the time that I can to accumulate as much college credit as possible.
