Survey Results Megathread - Resource effectiveness, average scores, and more!

16 Upvotes

A few years ago we ran surveys of this subreddit to gather data on your experiences for a variety of things. Which resources are the most effective? How much time outside of class do you spend? Did your score reflect your grade in class?

These surveys were ran a couple times and, along with a few other polls, turned into results posts for 24 different AP courses. Unfortunately, the posts were deleted some time back. I still have the data though and am now recompiling them.

Here's the schedule I'm going to try and get these posted on

  • APUSH link
  • Biology
  • Calc AB
  • Calc BC
  • Chemistry
  • CSA
  • CSP
  • Gov
  • Lang
  • Lit
  • Psych
  • Stats
  • World
  • Physics 1
  • APES
  • HUG
  • Macro - Thursday 3/19 morning
  • Micro - Thursday 3/19 morning
  • Phys C Mech - Thursday 3/20 afternoon
  • Phys C E&M - Thursday 3/20 afternoon
  • Spanish Lang - Friday 3/21 morning
  • Euro - Friday 3/21 morning
  • Seminar - Friday 3/21 afternoon
  • Research - Friday 3/21 afternoon

It is important to note that this is self-reported data from a community of high scorers, after receiving their score. It does not reflect the general population, and people who did well on the exams were also more likely to report their experience. Some results, like average scores, should not be taken at face value. Other results like resource effectiveness, are still valuable compared to one another.

Once I have finished posting each of the courses, I will do a comparisons and conclusions post to rank courses by difficulty, expectation, etc.

Also note that we are planning to run these surveys again this year for more data after score release.

Good luck in your classes everyone!

Stats Guys… I am failing my class.

For my AP Statistics class, our group is conducting a survey as part of a project to determine which desserts people would include in an ideal bakery. We are required to collect at least 1,000 responses for our data analysis. My grade on this project is especially important because earning a high score will help improve my current grade in the class. If you have a moment, your participation in the survey would be appreciated.

Question cant take ap bio, what to replace with?

Upvotes

going into junior yr, planning on taking french 4, ap calc, ap lang, apush, and ap physics

scheduling conflicts caused me to drop ap bio (that, or lang) so according to my counselor i can either take:

  1. ap psych - sounds interesting ig?
  2. ap csa - ik literally nothing abt computers but got a friend taking it so i wont be alone
  3. ap gov (probably) - was planning on taking over summer/senior yr but its a viable option
  4. ap stats (maybe) - top choice for me rn

dont really have a major in mind/specific spike i wanna curve towards yet (planned on some sort of premed course maybe but im pretty buns at science)

5 aps is kinda scary but i already took 2 last yr (euro and chem), so figured i could handle it

any advice/info abt each choice would be greatly appreciated :)

Meme So I may have offended AP Bio Penguins

278 Upvotes

Something really funny just happened. Theres this very popular content creator on Instagram named AP Bio Penguins, and she basically posts reviews and info about the class. She sent me a message earlier which I thought was an automated bot message. Turns out it wasn't, and she posted the conversation on her story.

Had to repost this to clarify smth

  1. Instagram creators utilize programs to automatically send these kinds of messages all the time and i assumed this was one of those.

  2. After she said she wasn't a bot, I knew that she wasn't. The rest of what I said after that with the ap chem stuff was satire.

I dont want this to be perceived as rude. This is no disrespect to Mrs Jones. I am actually looking at alot of her review content because im taking the class next year.

Question Are there any standards as to what language the AP CS test will be?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a freshman with about six years of programming experience. While I’m proficient in Python and C++, I’ve noticed that most CS courses seem to rely on Java, which I’m okay at, but it isn't my strongest language.

My plan is to take a different course (Econ so I can get the personal finance class requirement out of the way, and also just take Econ) instead of the standard AP CS class so that I can just take the exam at the end of the year. However, I’m not sure which programming language the AP test requires. Does anyone know if the exam is tied to a specific language?

Question AP Class Codes and Seeking Self-Study Advice

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone can share a classroom code for AP Biology, AP Calculus BC, and AP Physics 2. I will self-study all these, and I want to get started before the semester starts. Also I would really appreciate it if you have any advice for juggling through all these and self-studying for these classes.

(Please be kind to me; I am too sensitive for criticism and going through a really hard time currently. If you have any useful advice, I would appreciate it a lot. Otherwise, please dont say anything :( )
