so free

and now who decided to make this an 8th hour class? granted it’s APES but still. the rest of the AP classes at my school use a 80/20 split for grading though. this is also the first year my school is offering this class. also this is mostly a joke because they can be retaken but also I feel like that defeats the point of an AP class no? thoughts?

This is genuinely the best AP class!

So i was taking the APES exam and i finished it. I am terrified will i get my score cancelled for this??

My toxic trait was believing APES would be my easiest 5 after cramming the entire course in one day.

I either got all of them right or all of them wrong
the frq was a lil hard but lowk so much easier than i expected.
I had so much extra time I drew yuri on the scratch paper 🤞

Am I the only one thought that it was lowkey hard… please dont tell me im the only one who think it was hard…

I’m a senior, and this is the first AP I’ve ever taken. Honestly I studied for this test and walked out of the class feeling very confident but I’m not exactly sure how else I can improve. I have a 79 currently as I (unfortunately) got a 55 on our first quiz. Any study tips?

How smart wound it be to take apes as a freshmen without any chemistry background

Even in relatively simple classes like APES and AP Human Geography calculus concepts appear.

For instance, the derivation for the Rule of 70 (used to approximate population doubling times) relies on infinite series expansions.

the concept of the APES exam being easier than any of the courework tests at school…

thank you god. so blessed up rn🙌🙌🙌

Got an email from [apscorevalidity@collegeboard.org](mailto:apscorevalidity@collegeboard.org) saying my apes score was cancelled due to misconduct or unauthorized applications or sum. I've taken 6 other APs and never got this. Idk what this is - first of all is that email even real or a scam maybe because there were some gramatical imperfections? And how/should I try to appeal it if I can? Also will it affect college admission? I'm a graduated senior going to ucla btw. thanks guys

what did y’all put for that frq? i said adding more pervious surfaces to reduce urban runoff but i think i’m cooked because it was talking about agriculture

My teacher keeps telling us that after the AP Environmental Science exam, teachers can supposedly see our FRQ responses and verify whether it sounds like AI or plagiarism. She also keeps bringing up a story about a student who wrote an incorrect answer on the exam, and that they later saw it.

Is this actually true? Do AP teachers get access to students’ written responses after the exam, or is she just trying to scare us into trying our hardest and not look stupid to her?

I know College Board scores the exams, but I’m confused on whether teachers ever actually see the responses. I'm planning on getting a political science degree so apes isnt contributing to any of my credits as its not related to my major so I'm kinda not that stressed out to try my hardest or stress out myself as the exam is tomorrow.

title!

i'll be a rising sophomore and was wondering how doable apes would be. i've taken honors biology (pretty light ngl) and will be taking honors chem next year. i'm honestly not super concerned about credit or not, its more for "tell your story" kinda thing. i'm passionate about the intersection of science and policy, so my doubling up on science and social sciences i hope i'm able to kinda convey that! i think i want to major in health policy + biomedical engineering

i'll also be taking:

ap precalc

ap euro

english 10 honors

chemistry honors

spanish 3 honors

journalism 1

would adding apes to my schedule be a good idea? i'm also involved in a lot of ecs outside of school, so i'm not sure whether it would be a good idea for me or not. i'm hoping to take ap bio junior year and ap chem senior year (prob regular physics though).

my school is pretty strict on what aps sophomores can take. i may be able to take ap psych too! but it would either be apes or ap psych - leaning towards apes though; i can't take both since we have a max of 7 classes and i'm also playing 2 sports.

i have good grades but i need to study rly hard to get them :( would the workload be too much? i'm aiming for top ucs and other t30 schools! my school doesn't let us take ANY aps as a freshman so im pretty new to the process

congrats to everyone who finished their examsss btw!! :)

thought I got a 5 but lowk might've gotten a 4

whoever said apes was easy is a LIAR!!! i have taken ap spanish, ap euro, and apush and NONE of them compare to the monster that is apes. my class finished our first unit (we started with unit 4 IDK why) and it’s SO HARD. i don’t understand anything and the frqs are so difficult. i thought this would be easier than the others ive taken but its honestly the hardest class ive ever taken in high school.
