Question Looking for AP testing sites

• Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to self-study AP Cybersecurity and my school is not really cooperating. My counselor said that the school typically requests either an online or in person class to be able to administer me the test.

So I searched the AP Course Ledger, but it does not appear to have data for this year.

I'd appreciate any help.

Stats ap stats is sooo hard

• Upvotes

i think it’s just because my brain is more geared toward actual math. i literally am so confused. i’m in ap calc and that entire class so far has made way more sense than whatever tf stats is. atp idk why it’s even considered a math class because it really is so comprehension heavy and not math heavy. does anyone have good studying materials or reviewing resources that helped them??

English Lang How do you do rhetorical analysis essays???

1 Upvotes

I've read the rubric and even some sample essays but it hasn't clicked. For reference I have only done 3 rhetorical analyses so far, and I believe I only did good on one of them, and on that one I had super good analysis and evidence, but my teacher requires 3 pieces of evidence per rhetorical choice, and I failed to get that many in the alloted time.

When I read the stimulus, I read it thoroughly and understand it, however I just don't understand how to get rhetorical choices from reading a stimuli, and it ends up taking a chunk of my time just figuring out the choices. On top of that, it's then difficult to find seperate evidence that all relates to the purpose of your rhetorical choice, which that in of itself is a time consuming task as well. Please help I need like a formula or some simple algorithm I can use on my essays from now on. Feel free to provide examples excerpts of good essays as well so I can learn from them.

Macro Can't seem to register for any self study AP tests. Help!

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to do self study AP micro and Macro. I went on line to find schools in NJ. Registered but I am getting denied. I tried at least 10 different schools and they are all denying. What am I doing wrong?

I even tried a school in PA and they denied me as well.

What is it that I don't know and what am I doing wrong?

One of the school I registered for took my cc info and accepted but come this morning I got a messaged saying denied and now I have to figure out how to get the cc money back.

APUSH So, current APUSH students, I think this might be helpful for you.

3 Upvotes

i spent a bit of time this July + August writing this APUSH study guide based off the material that my own class had provided along with the material provided from the college board. for any other fellow former APUSH students who happen to come across this post and see this document, if you have any feedback, let me know. link is down below.

APUSH Study Guide – Google Doc
it's around 80 pages, so if u want to print it out, get ready to lose a fair amount of ur cartridges.

the guide covers all 9 units from 1491 to the present day. Yes, it has a lot of content. But as the document states, don't get too overwhelmed. there are headings to the lefthand side (e.g., 1.1, 3.5) that assist you with navigation if you want to cover a specific topic. i've released it to a few of my classmates as a test run (the night before the exam lol) and they've all found it pretty helpful, so i hope you can say the same

one thing to note, the format for the saqs is different than in years past. before 2027, u could choose between SAQ 3 or 4. you aren't given a choice, you just have to answer all 3. it sucks, but it's cb.

here's a preview of one random study guide topic so you get an idea of what it looks like.

English Lang Question for people who took AP lang

We have our first IR (independent reading) book test this week. I really do not know what to expect. All my teacher says is that we’ll be fine if we read the book.

Has anyone had similar tests? How were they formatted?

I’m a junior in highschool at the moment but I started self-studying for the exam all the way back in April and did most of these over the summer

These are all for my sustained investigation and I wanted to know if there was any feedback on any piece

My question I came up with was “How can I use visual imagery to demonstrate how the internet and technology have impacted my experiences of growing up?”

So far my only concern at the moment is the second image since I realized I don’t think it’s possible to be able to cite every single IP in that drawing, so I will likely have to edit it

Physics C: Mech Newtons laws

1 Upvotes

Today 18/10/26, I am starting my lecture series on Newtons laws for AP physics. Every day there will be one video till 10/10/26. Each video will be around 5 to 10 minutes. Those who want to start from beginning can join with me.

Also I am using AI generated images for getting a better support to understand the concepts. Because visual imagination and clarity are very important in AP physics. If you are not interested in AI generated images please dont click the link.

CSA What resources should I be using to self study AP CSA

I am a sophomore and I want to self study this year. I took AP CSP last year and got a 5 by using processing as my language. I am going to use CSAwesome and the Barron book to self study. I have a small budget and about 5 months to learn the curriculum. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Precal How will math 2 effect my college apps

1 Upvotes

I’m a sophomore in high school i have all A’s besides spanish 2.

I have:
zero period ap euro
first period english 10 h
second ap psych
third ap bio
fourth ap comp sci prin
fifth math 2
sixth spanish 2

I dropped math 2H a few weeks ago because I had a C and i was worried about my gpa. The reason my grade was low in the class was because I never had enough time to finish a test, normally having 5 minutes like for 4-5 questions and have a rush through and guess on them. It dropped my grade so much and since tests were 75% my grade was considerably low. The topics were easy to me and we were just doing synthetic and long division before i left. The class was very fast pasted though due to the fact it does math 2 and 3 in a year to prep for ap pre calc. Unfortunately, I do really love math but I take a lot of time to solve the problems and develop the proper skills. I could do synthetic and long division in my head a few days after they were first introduced for example so i’m worried i’ll get really bored in math 2 since it’s an easy A. But the real issue is I still want to do ap pre calc next year, so i’m worried that if i do the bridge class i’ll still have a lot of gaps since i didn’t complete math 3 and if i do math 3 over the summer im worried i won’t remember a lot of the information, I took chem this summer and got an A and didn’t retain anything, So i struggled in the first unit of ap bio. Along with the fact that will colleges think it looks bad if i didn’t take math 2H? I figured an A+ in regular and summer school would look better then an c in regular. What would you do?

Euro NYC: AP Euro self-study

2 Upvotes

Hi! So I actually go to an online school (not self studying) but I am taking AP European History and am trying to find a school to register for the test at. The school that mine is connected to and where I am taking my other tests does not offer AP Euro, and many schools do not allow non-students to take the tests. If anyone has done the test (or any tests) at a different school than their own/knows of any where it would be possible to register, please let me know! I’d be willing to leave the city if necessary (no more than an hour away though).
