Ap History Class Advantages

Everyone who doubted me had to state that they told me not to take it but I felt accomplished that I took the hardest class provided in my high school. It was depressing that I didn’t pass the AP exam but when next year came I took AP Environmental science which was the same concept as AP World in which is all based on note taking and quizzes that relied on the notes you take from the textbook. I felt that AP World History had a major impact on this class because I was taking notes every night studying for the test. I ended up doing really well in AP Environmental science and passing the AP exam with a 4. After I took the exam I started to look back and realize how much AP World helped me succeed. Although I didn’t pass the exam for AP World I felt like all the hard work and dedication carried over to AP Environmental Science which made me realize that all those people who told me not to take the class were only trying to bring me down because it ended up helping me be a better student and leading me to be better prepared for the

Before the Constitution, there was the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation was a new national government that reserved freedom, sovereignty, and independence for the states. The Articles of confederation provided an effective form of government for western lands, on the contrary, foreign relations were not were not as well benefited from it.

Students in Colorado marched out of it, Oklahoma’s government doesn’t want to fund it, and there are more horror stories about this curriculum than there are horror movies; however I still want to take AP U.S. History. There are both pros and cons to taking this course, but in the end those positives slightly outweigh the negatives. I want to take AP U.S. History for possible college credit, for a challenge, and simply because I enjoy history.

However, one twist was involved: college classes. I am taking four college classes this semester. Among the practices mentioned before, I added on many college level essays and research papers. I have learned to constantly keep on doing something whenever I have free time, whether it be studying while eating or finally getting home and do homework instead of going straight to bed.

I asked my teachers when I needed to and read more books. Books helped me in learning new words and improved my spelling. Being placed in an English support class for testing low on the MAP test made me realize that I needed to try harder. I received one of the highest scores the following year and moved up to Accelerated English. This achievement made me realize I had determination; I worked very hard to obtain high grades. Advanced courses increased my confidence because I knew they could prepare me more for college. My goal was to be educated so I could be even more

In 8th grade, instead of baking cookies or cake in cooking class or drawing pictures in art, I took German 1 to put myself in the position to be placed in AP German my senior year. My freshman and sophomore years of high school I took Photography to work towards taking AP 2D Studio Art along with other AP/accelerated sciences, maths, and english classes. Certainly, there are other students that took just as difficult of courses that I did, but I pushed myself to excel in other courses that others may not have taken.

With taking the regular United States history class, I feel that I would not be pushed and have any expectations put on me to do my very best, even though I know I would try my hardest on every assignment regardless on the course title. Freshman year was very easy for me and I did not have a lot of work to complete, especially not having multiple assignments each night, but I am ready to receive more work in order to prepare for the next couple of years of high school. Also, having a more challenging class with a heavier workload will prepare me for college and the difficult classes that I will have to take then.

As I was growing up I never thought about going to college, I came to the United States unaware of what an S.O.L, the SAT, honors, AP and DE classes were. I didn’t know anything about this. There was only one college I knew and that was James Madison University because it was everywhere in the city. When I was a freshman, history was my favorite subject it was just so fun to learn about the history of each country. When it was parent conference day my teacher told my mom that since i’m so good in history I can take World History History 2 honors. I didn’t know what an honors class was at that time but it sounded good so I decided to give it a try. I can’t explain why I choose Avid because actually I got into this class without knowing what Avid was, but I’m glad I applied and had been with this class

An Advanced Placement course requires dedication and effort. Whoever takes these college-level classes must be capable of dealing with large amounts of study content, considerable amounts of homework, and the pressure of moving from topic to topic at a fast pace, not to mention the AP exam at the end of the year. However, when the student is interested enough in the course to look over the previous sacrifices, the benefits surpass the obstacles. Particularly, I think the AP World History would represent a great learning opportunity for me. The main reason that I want to enter this course is that I love history with passion. For me, the study of the past holds the key to the future. Additionally, I find historical characters extremely complex

‘AP’ World History is a unique course and has introduced me to educational material that is close to what you would expect in a university. Our class has looked at history in a way I haven’t ever before. History is one of my favorite subjects, as learning about the past, although tedious at times, is very interesting. After taking ‘AP’ World History, I have discovered the true “reality” of the world and how it relates to the world we live in today. Being introduced to my first ‘AP’ class this year has made me excited to take addition “AP’ classes as I continue my high school career and has significantly increased my overall excitement for

Throughout many of the arduous AP courses I took in high school I was pushed to my limits, but I accomplished my goals through hard work. One example of this would be my AP United States History class. This class was one of the most difficult courses I had taken, mostly due to the sheer amount of information being presented and needed to be memorized. Even though the basics of U.S. history had been taught to me in one way shape or form every school year, there was brand new information on people and important dates. At first I struggled with the work load and text, but I eventually made it through and succeeded by diving

I earned a one on the AP Chemistry exam and a C in the class both semesters; I couldn’t be happier. Although I technically failed AP Chemistry according to the AP exam standards, I gained invaluable experience throughout the class. While others would be devastated to see their report card with all A’s and one C, I was content with it. My junior year I was placed in AP Chemistry-without having taken the prerequisite classes- and I failed to switch out. By not dropping the class I learned just how persistent I could be and how much effort pays off.

The story behind as to why I took the Pre-AP English class isn’t a very interesting one. From SLMS to CJH I never signed up for the Honors English classes, that decision for me was just one of those things you consider but never actually intend to do. I believe the reason why my 9th grade English teacher recommended me for Pre-AP was because I always performed at the top of the class. After I was approached with the offer I knew I could’ve made one of two choices; either stay in a regular leveled class or challenge my skills and proficiency in Pre-AP. Honestly, if I had taken the regular course I probably would have passed with an A and minor struggles. Profoundly deep down inside I knew the right thing for me to do was take Pre-AP to test

When i was in eighth grade,teachers and students from my current high school came to visit my middle school to talk to me about the Anteater Academy. What this academy does is,it helps students prepare themselves to go to a four year university. They do this by having students challenge themselves by taking difficult honor and AP courses starting freshman year. I guess you can say that ever since i was in middle school i knew i wanted to go to college. Being in the academy for about 4 years now has been a challenging journey but, has made my pathway to college easier. This academy taught me how to be responsible,dedicated and confident. There was times where i felt the pressure of having so many AP classes in my schedule but i was surrounded

When I passed my AP World History test. During my freshman year I was put into an AP class. I didn’t know what AP was, I didn’t know what to expect. I was able to handle my honors classes because it was material back in middle school. However, AP World History was strenuous and took major effort. There were multiple times where I had uncertainty of whether or not I was capable to keep going. I really felt out of place because it was a difficult class with essays, chapters to read and exams every week. Nonetheless, I never gave in, I convinced myself that the reason why my school put in roughly 90 kids, including myself, out of at least 1000, is because they saw potential in us and knew that we would be able to handle the stress of a college
