Advanced Placement?

Do you even get college credit for them?

Fewer and fewer colleges are giving college credit, but theoretically yes.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

A lot still do, but you need higher scores for some classes.

Well guys I'm getting worse so I'm heading off to a doctor soon to see what's invading my body and. trying to kill me

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Perhaps it's boogie fever.

 

[GreekAnalyzer]

So exams are coming and I won't be around much for the next three weeks.

You guys know what I like about CivIV S&T?

It doesn't look like this.

Spoiler :

 

[TheNoob]

I like your avi, Scarlet_King

 

[CaterpillarKing]

I know! Civ 5 has so many LPs!

 

[TheNoob]

I don't even think there is a single one in Civ4S&T

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Nope, well Tigranes did something like it but it died pretty quickly.

Hah APs. I love this time of year. Means that I don't have to be in classes, and the tests are a breeze anyways.

It's AP English Literature, AP Calc BC, APUSH, AP French, and AP Chem for me.

Realistically, only chem needs any studying at all.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

I'm thinking I can make a 4 on my APUSH and AP Chem tests. I know I can make a 3 with little doubt.

If you're on CFC and participated in the America IAAR, you should easily be able to get a 5 on the APUS. Chem, on the other hand...

Then again, I live in a town where people view anything other than a 5 as a failure (same for A- or below is failure).

 

[Bair_the_Normal]

Anything but 5 is a failure.

Why the hate against LP's?

Anything but 5 is a failure.

The funny thing is that I considered it a failure when I first heard that a 4 was my score for AP chem.

Why the hate against LP's?

For games like Civilization, such as Paradox games, they're soulless.

I made an interesting discovery. I have always visualized history, while apparently most people don't visualize anything and just try to recall names, dates, etc... Does anyone else here visualize with a map, or something else? Spacial recognition is our primary memory, and I think that visualizing history allows you to remember it a lot better. Like when I think of the Great Schism, I imagine Christianity breaking into two right down the Serbia area. Or when I think of the Great Depression, I picture the stock market crumbling in New York, dustbowls spreading across the mid-US, and a great migration from the east to the west as a wave of recession spreads through the world.

That's how I study usually. Unless there is something to literally memorize.
My parents teached me to study like that, and it works like a charm. I know many people who try to memorize entire book pages, even if it's a subject like history.

What was America's role in global economics in the 1990s?

"Trick question! America didn't exist anymore!"
