Even though it may seem like a useless fact, one wrong change in the body can either damage or kill you. That’s why if you know it, combined with logic and occasional scientific experiments, you can cure cancer and any other disease. Knowing how a bone heals can help you fix a broken bone. Even though you may not have the tools, you can prove it with a thought experiment, or a way of testing things using logic.
@@captaincalamity5025 I took it and it’s helpful when you’re trying to find a certain part of a big city lol or just curious on how humans behave relative to location I also had a awesome teacher so that probably helped
to be honest, ap computer science was the most fun class i ever took. young, energetic teacher, friendly classmates, every class was guaranteed laughs and new memories formed. we played jackbox at the end of the grading periods, had app building competitions, and even created several inside jokes. good times.
So few people in my school take it that it's grouped with the other C.S kids, we are literally 2 kids in a class watching ap video's while the other people learn smth else. :,D
I love that AP Chem is the class that makes you want to drop out when the true villain is AP physics. It has the highest fail rate for the AP test of over 60%
My sister took AP Environmental Science. She had two final tests, and each test pile was wrapped with plastic, and then those two piles wrapped together… in plastic…
As someone who's taken 7 AP classes I have to say AP Stats is one of the hardest. Everyone goes into it thinking it will be math, not realizing you have to read and write entire paragraphs more than anything else... can't wait to get my exam results back 😭
no cause i decided to take stats and was not prepared for the amount of writing... like you have to explain experiments and surveys and hypotheses and intervals and there is so much explaining
fr i took it as a junior and my teacher did not caare abt the class because it was almost all seniors who took it to avoid calc. i got a 3 on the exam sadly cause my teacher didn't teach. theres so much writing its kinda crazy like how u gotta explain the steps in order and calculations. the one where they ask for which bias or how u design the test is so annoying
@@allen8136 A 3 is pretty good! I got a 4, but the exam is such BS. I think AP Stats is the only exam where there's a long answer question at the end that PURPOSEFULLY NOBODY CAN PREPARE FOR OR TEACH. It's ridiculous.
i knew that i wasn't going to touch stats w/ a ten foot pole whenever i learned that i needed to get a recommendation from my english teacher to take it... hell to the no
A proper stats class has calc I, II and often III prerequisites anyway. Seems like AP statistics in the US just teaches stats at a very elementary level which gives it the image of being easy.
AP physics - The class where you do a lot of math that doesn’t matter because in the real world air resistance and the mass of that string aren’t actually negligible
In defense of neglecting things, only considering the primary object in a system can bring understanding without being super complicated for a highschooler. When the weight of that string or the air resistance around a body matters, you just extend the methods to that body aswell.
AP Art is the kind of class that's completely undermined because if you aren't it your immediate thought and the stereotype is "so basically they just draw for classes?" It's probably the most time-consuming AP class, with projects even being up to 20+ hours to make, and everything you do is from scratch independently. There're no assignments by teachers or prompts. You have to make your own inspirations, ideas, composition plans and designs, and find your own motivation and creativity to be able to survive that class, not mentioning the constant breakdowns over your work and things not coming out as planned. Since AP Art is completely independent, you are responsible entirely for every mistake you made because even the program is essentially your creation. I think a better fitting roast for that class would be "how many mental breakdowns is it possible for a student to have during a single semester".
Completely agree with you, I didn’t even finish AP art and numerous other students in my class dropped out as well 😅 of the four APs I’ve taken I’d say it’s tied with calculus in terms of intimidation and stress, just in a different way
I feel that honestly it really is more stressful than everyone thinks. I got a four on AP drawing but I am doing AP 2-D rn which should be somewhat easier and I am hoping my portfolio/ prompt was good enough. I still take other AP classes too but art takes so much fricken time to make
I distinctly recall my AP Drawing sustained investigation, which started out as "flow of water" very quickly turned into "evolution of stress"... i passed and my mental health suffered
I'm freshman at a high school where they give you high school AND college classes, meaning that you get your high school and associates degree at the same time -- i did not get to chose my classes, I just got stuck with this class.
i accidentally took aphg freshman year and almost died 😔 god for all the freshman out there dont take an ap class thinking its like advanced classes in middle school its not
Pretty much all of the AP Histories: either easy as hell and just as boring, or a downright trash fire. heavily dependent on whether or not you have a good memory.
Nah, my memory is so shit that I'm failing the easiest ap at my school that is only vocab (AP psych) and I can't remember what video I watched right before this one, but I'm doing great in ap euro (and did great in ap world) because I find history genuinely interesting
true. AP world history was actually fun at first but when the workload increased my interest plummeted and I began to learn to sleep with my eyes open.
In AP World I fucked around and did almost nothing for the first half of the year, read half the book in 3 days right before the exam, and got a 4. Now I'm in APUSH and I'm seriously considering whether that strategy is worth repeating; maybe I'll give myself 5 days instead of 3.
I took AP Computer Science, it felt like a fever dream. Full of seniors and juniors who didn't care about school at all, we spent our time playing games, playing music at full volume (early 2000s music), and made jokes the whole class. It was one of the most fun classes ive ever taken, but the work was intolerably boring I wish I could show some of our project presentations, they were all abysmal - One of my apps was so dysfunctional it would give you a seizure if you looked at it long enough, and I got a passing grade for it. Was incredible
That sounds so awesome wth? Especially the last part! If I had to take a guess as to how you passed, I’d say it’s because so many people failed that they HAD to pass all of you, otherwise the teacher would probably get fired. I’ve witnessed that sort of thing before, power in numbers!
@@ladyalicent705We all were doing so poorly that he began promoting the use of online sources to cheat our way to passing. Looking back, I do wish I had taken the course more seriously. I did not, however, end up going down that career path; it would not have been a benefit to me in any significant way if I had passed. (Probably should have mentioned that I somehow managed to fail the course lol)
If you think that’s bad, my teacher deadass told us we were going to fail AP Human Geography as freshman’s because 1. The test was given three weeks earlier than it was supposed to 2. We were only on Chapter 10 of the unit and there’s 12 chapters. 3. We had limited time (as in our time was shortened due to schedule changes) and overall the 2020-2021 school year. I passed with a 96% but got a 1 on the exam. I’m no longer a freshman and I’m taking AP World History & Phychology but man, that year was crazy.
@@partytime8092 dude none of the Chem teachers at my school learned Chem in college- they were all physics majors (which is fine but they also straight up plagiarized other teachers lessons, and those lessons were also all incorrect and wrong)
Yeah, I’m learning about immigration, the effects and causes of diversity, how location affects people, culture and languages, and a bunch of other stuff that actually applies to the world. I don’t see how it’s useless at all. If you think that class is useless, you either had a bad teacher or you somehow think that everything you learn in school actually matters. Academically useless and ACTUALLY useless are two different things.
I loved it because at least I understood Globalization and the direct impact that the 1st and 2nd industrial revolutions had on the world. Stuff that actually applies today. Thought it was definitely worth the time
As a person aspires to be a linguist, I can say that taking languages in high school is pointless, since most anglophones could give two shits about properly learning another language, so they'll just forget everything about it a few years after high school.
@@Hiero1453 most americans could care less to learn another language. Ask most people what they remember and they’ll say “hi my name is...” in a horrible accent. Language classes shouldn’t be an easy gpa if your teachers are properly pushing students to learn more.
@@jeremiahdonnay358 I see what you’re saying. I think it has to do with your background. I guess kids with parents who were both born here will end up remaining anglophones. Maybe that’s why I said easy 5.0, because my mom was born here but my dad was not. Anyways, I agree. If a student really wants to learn a language, like me, then they would probably try harder but I guess no American cares because in high school ( at least my high school) we need to have 2 language credits and that’s mandatory, so kids would probably see it as a burden.
For those who didn’t get the joke of “AP Economics” It’s because the daddy of all AP classes is College Board, which you learn that it is a monopoly itself.
I love how people think AP Art is easy or doesn’t require hard work lol. It’s not like other AP classes in the sense that you have to study hard concepts and get tested on them but you have to design your own projects basically. It’s easy to follow teachers’ instructions but in AP Art, your teachers can’t exactly teach you about YOUR ideas. Only you would know that. Artists don’t just do random things and call them art. Every decision is intentional. For other classes you can follow your teachers’ guides, but for AP Art you have to start from scratch, from mood boards, ideation, experiments, sustained investigations, and so on. I think AP Art requires a lot of deep thinking and planning and you also have to be the one keeping yourself on track, it’s just that many don’t see the values in art. You can rush studying concepts, but you cannot rush art, otherwise it’s not gonna be meaningful. Sorry that I went on rambling but I’m just really passionate about Art and I want others to know that it is just as hard as other AP classes. And yes, I understand that this video is meant to be a joke guys. 😆
i had no idea AP Art was so stressful. i've taken eight AP exams and all of them have been hell. i guess i thought AP Art was kind of an easy class like Human Geography and wasn't ridiculously hard like Calc BC or AP Gov, but i was wrong. i appreciate hearing about how other exams affect other people and learning their experiences with them. this changed my perspective on AP Art, so thank you lol
I’ve taken like 6 or 7 AP classes so far and AP Art was definitely the hardest. Harder than Calc BC. Harder than all of it. People don’t understand the sheer amount of work for that class because instead of stress-studying to review before an exam, you just get to be stressed about building your portfolio all year round. It’s brutal man.
im taking ap art and apush rn and ap art is making me wanna die :,) its definitely way harder than any other class due to the stress and pressure, i’m kinda in a creative block rn as well which isnt helping my case at all
Ayy, I'm also in AP art. I've been in it for 4 years now. The struggle to build a portfolio is real. Not to mention, it's art so you don't have a straightforward formula to follow that guarantees a passing grade. The 'right thing' to do changes ever so slightly depending on each person and how they interpret the art. Yes, there are some consistencies, but compared to other classes it isn't nearly as linear.
I actually didn't think AP Chem was that hard, but I wasn't consistent in putting in effort because I was fighting severe depression at the time. Still got a C without putting in as much effort as I wanted. AP physics was the toughest AP at my high school.
I think I’m going through something similar with seminar. I don’t have any motivation and I’m feeling extremely hopeless right now. Are you okay now? How did you get through it? I could really appreciate some advice if your up to it

“AP Statistics: An AP class made for those who couldn’t handle a real math class.” BRO THE ACCURACY! I took stat to avoid calc or algebra as much as I can😗👉🏼👈🏼
AP art - the class where you question your career path, cry, plan what you will be doing with every minute of your non existent free time and MAYBE make some art , all in one class!!!
AP Chem was certainly the hardest, but it was the most rewarding. My teacher in high school used to be a college professor. He made the class extremely hard. Honestly though because he made it so much harder all my chemistry classes in college were easy in comparison. Hell even the people who got Ds in his class in HS would get As in their college chemistry class. Still can’t thank him enough.
@@twins9068 I’d say it depends on what you plan to do with your life. If Stem it’s good to have the prep for college, but if not then probably not. The AP Chen I went to was like Chemistry boot camp all year, but not every teacher will be like that. I’d see what my goals were and maybe ask my current teacher what I can do to be more successful with chemistry if I decide to go into AP Chemistry. I hope either way things go well for you.
When I was a junior in hs taking AP human geography, it was the easiest thing ever. Watching the freshmen struggle to death to turn in 1 reading assignment was sad but also funny.
don’t even bother the exam was so stupid even though you put the right answers the test scorers were useless and most of my friends and i had to appeal our scores cuz they gave everyone a 3 when most of us scored higher than what was given
Me an art kid who takes various AP's: haha these are so accurate! "AP Art: A pity AP class made for those less academically inclined." Me: H E Y W A I T
That AP Lang part is so true lmfao. Also, the AP World part would prob be true, but luckily legit everyone loves the teacher for that class so we don’t actually notice how boring it is lol
My AP World teacher allows you to turn in late work the day before the end of the quarter and still get full credit. He's super chill and relaxed when it comes to a lot of things. I also actually enjoy history so that makes his class a little better, even though lately it's just been notes after more notes...
@@wakandaforever2401 me too lmao. The one thing that saved my ass in AP World was that due dates were a suggestion in that class. The teacher's also very lively and energetic and etc, I never fell asleep and I took electives that she taught the next two years in high school
Took AP English Lit in high school, can confirm that you end up analyzing every period and comma in a poem. The teacher liked going on diatribes and tangents all the time and then was confused at the end of the year when we were a month behind where the syllabus said we would be
My AP Chem teacher was godly. She clearly loved chemistry and loved teaching it, she always made sure we understood concepts before moving on and if she asked a question on the test, 100% chance she mentioned it at least a couple times in class, so no curveballs. I thought maybe she was just making it easy for us but then we got to the mock exams and I did well on all of them, and I got a 5 on the actual exam without much trouble. Mrs. Gregor I love you and hope you found another great teaching job ever since you left. Unfortunately I was not so lucky with AP Biology and Physics, in fact both those classes were what made me want to drop out of high school instead of Chem
dude please drop like videos from her teaching because i had my teacher this year and everyone says he does the same thing he did in honors chem and that was to: give powerpoints but not teach a single thing
I actually took AP Human Geography my freshman year, and the only thing I liked, was the fact that our teacher would tell us random stories for like most of the class
My class got through 2 years of math encouraging our teacher to continue his stories so we wouldn't have to do the class. Everyone pretended we were interested and liked him and it worked.
I'm in my freshman year right now, and my ap human geo teacher is the absolute best. My classmates have made a religion out of his existence an he's okay with it. His sarcasm is what we all look forward too. He is the best teacher I have ever had.
For me AP music theory made music more enjoyable for me. Now I can identify different chord progressions in a piece, be able to identify ‘voice leading errors’ (even though more modern composers do not follow the same rules of theory as is taught in the course), and able to do more. That exam was pretty difficult though
@@imbored457 there's two parts to it. Theory skills and Aural skills. With theory, your teacher will teach you all the nitty gritty analysis stuff and how songs are structured. The Aural skills is learning how to hear intervals, chord qualities, and motion of music. You also will do these fun things called dictations, where you write down what you hear from an excerpt. There is also sight singing involved. My biggest advice is to try your best, and try not to get wrapped up with the EXTREMELY nerdy kids (who are also assholes). It's truly an interesting class. I enjoyed it.
My teacher said that we were so boring and she wanna make it more fun, 5 minutes later... read 14 pages in 20 mins. I lasted 1 week in that class. And now i got A' in reg WH

@@maenallahalih8956 No not a 2%😂 The Ap grading system goes from 1 to 5, 1 and 2 are not passing grade and 3, 4, and 5 are passing grades. And yeah we got hot dogs cause we watched something called “The hot dog movie”
It teaches you about how we’re destroying the earth and the ways we could try to help prevent that, but how that won’t happen bc the people with the real power to prevent global warming are money hungry assholes
@@sarahhopelennon4829 there are lots of resources online! personally I used lots of flashcards haha, I made an ap psych podcast episode with a friend too, which really helped me go through everything again. I think the most important thing is to memorise and revise things throughout the year :)) because it's really just very memorisation-based
Nah I actually liked AP World. Took it when it was actually world history and not the weird 1500s thing. It was actually a pretty decent curriculum and my teacher was good at making things not Eurocentric. Plus Rome is awesome
@@noname8354 Honestly, its probably because of my teacher. She seems so uninterested and is not good at preparing you for the test. On our unit 3 and 4 test, i got a 41 and so many others got something near that. Honestly if ap world wasent rushed and the teacher actually taught stuff instead of assigning videos and didnt make the class so incredibly tedious, I would probably like it. But then again, she shoves so many assignments down our throats and doesnt give us time to complete them.
When I took AP Chemistry in junior year my teacher told us that AP stands for pain and agony and there would be a lot of tears while taking the course. She suggested we drop it if we couldn't handle it.
Really all just comes down to who’s teaching the class. A bad teacher can easily make AP Psychology hard af while a good teacher can make AP Calc BC and AP Chem easier than regular classes.
honestly truth, my ap psych teacher is the worst, she doesnt even have a psych degree and knows nothing about psychology 😭 and our tests are insanely difficult as well

I can tell you never took AP music theory. If you ever took the AP theory exam, you would realize how hard it is.
I just finished my AP world test and man do I tell you that having a good teacher changes everything. I love my AP world teacher sm, he brings so much energy to the class and is really passionate and knowledgeable on the subject, he’s funny but he also teaches us really well how to do certain things to help us write our notes and essays. In fact, he’s the reason we have the highest pass rate in the district (98% I think?), as well as the best DBQ scores. Quite a few of his old students have returned and told us how his teaching has helped them in college, or even just life in general. The yearbook even put him in the “most dad like” category 😭He also has a Pokémon card of himself taped to the tissue box. Hats off to you, mr Huidor.
Legit. Here’s what it feels like. You start off learning the normal shit about chemistry, then all of a sudden, quantum mechanics, spend the next 2 months mashing the calculator just to do the practice questions, and just when you thought the hard part is over, boom, applied advanced algebra and integral calculus that you probably never learned in high school get thrown in your face, forcing you to manually check the basics of each of those courses just to have a fucking clue on wtf you’re doing.

Fact: During october the mitochondria becomes the haunted house of the cell. My AP Bio teacher has confirmed this. I'm in six AP classes and I've taken the SAT three times but the college board is a monopolistic scam and I hate giving it my money. Fortunately I get a fee waver for most stuff anyway.
So far have taken AP Human Geography (amazingly, my school offers it) and AP Environmental Science and can confirm those roasts are completely accurate AP in general: simple concepts made extremely difficult for no reason whatsoever
The ap chem one is very much true. After the first semester, our class had dropped from 30 students to 8, practically everyone fails at least a few tests, and no curves.
I might drop that shi fr because its gonna end up killing me like actually cause why have i been losing sleep and a great chunk of it cause of this class
Damn I was thinking of taking it next year. I’m a sophomore taking honors chem and it’s pretty interesting to me and I enjoy science. So I was thinking of taking it next year but I didn’t know it was this hard 😅
I've only taken APHG (was only a freshman in highschool), and even tho most places don't offer it, holy shit is it one of the best classes i've ever taken. It's just "world" class. You just learn about so many different things about how the world is now and how it developed to be that way. One of the best classes you could take, especially if you ever want to travel.
"AP World History: A class so boring you'll learn how to fall asleep with your eyes open" "AP Human Geography: A class so useless, your school probably doesnt even offer it" I got both of these... and aside from knowing where places are on a map, I can attest to not learning 💩 in either
Might've hit the jackpot for AP Chem this year, teacher's adamant about asking for clarification so that concepts are understandable, AND because she hasn't been teaching the class for long, it's a bit more lenient. I don't really like the mandatory notes she wants us to do but at least its due every unit, which is tomorrow (HELP), but, could be worse. Class just feels like regular chemistry but you just need to be good at math (Algebra II+) and it will be alright.
Honestly WHAP was the opposite for me, teacher was real cool and brought actual artifacts (replicas) to class, though she had a bit of an ego... then again she had 2 master degrees, tons of guns, traveled nearly everywhere and was just badass, asked why she didn't become a professor or something, she said she had to make less stupid people, I aspire to be her one day.

Knowing how a bone heals can help you fix a broken bone. Even though you may not have the tools, you can prove it with a thought experiment, or a way of testing things using logic.

Oh no, not WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDS
fr i took it as a junior and my teacher did not caare abt the class because it was almost all seniors who took it to avoid calc. i got a 3 on the exam sadly cause my teacher didn't teach. theres so much writing its kinda crazy like how u gotta explain the steps in order and calculations. the one where they ask for which bias or how u design the test is so annoying
@@allen8136 A 3 is pretty good! I got a 4, but the exam is such BS. I think AP Stats is the only exam where there's a long answer question at the end that PURPOSEFULLY NOBODY CAN PREPARE FOR OR TEACH. It's ridiculous.

i decided to take stats with calc bc for some reason
A proper stats class has calc I, II and often III prerequisites anyway. Seems like AP statistics in the US just teaches stats at a very elementary level which gives it the image of being easy.
AP physics - The class where you do a lot of math that doesn’t matter because in the real world air resistance and the mass of that string aren’t actually negligible
In defense of neglecting things, only considering the primary object in a system can bring understanding without being super complicated for a highschooler. When the weight of that string or the air resistance around a body matters, you just extend the methods to that body aswell.

AP Art is the kind of class that's completely undermined because if you aren't it your immediate thought and the stereotype is "so basically they just draw for classes?" It's probably the most time-consuming AP class, with projects even being up to 20+ hours to make, and everything you do is from scratch independently. There're no assignments by teachers or prompts. You have to make your own inspirations, ideas, composition plans and designs, and find your own motivation and creativity to be able to survive that class, not mentioning the constant breakdowns over your work and things not coming out as planned. Since AP Art is completely independent, you are responsible entirely for every mistake you made because even the program is essentially your creation. I think a better fitting roast for that class would be "how many mental breakdowns is it possible for a student to have during a single semester".
Completely agree with you, I didn’t even finish AP art and numerous other students in my class dropped out as well 😅 of the four APs I’ve taken I’d say it’s tied with calculus in terms of intimidation and stress, just in a different way
I feel that honestly it really is more stressful than everyone thinks. I got a four on AP drawing but I am doing AP 2-D rn which should be somewhat easier and I am hoping my portfolio/ prompt was good enough. I still take other AP classes too but art takes so much fricken time to make
i think i found the guy that takes AP art.

true. AP world history was actually fun at first but when the workload increased my interest plummeted and I began to learn to sleep with my eyes open.
I was 250 years behind on my AP Euro notes and still got a 4 on the exam.
In AP World I fucked around and did almost nothing for the first half of the year, read half the book in 3 days right before the exam, and got a 4. Now I'm in APUSH and I'm seriously considering whether that strategy is worth repeating; maybe I'll give myself 5 days instead of 3.

I wish I could show some of our project presentations, they were all abysmal - One of my apps was so dysfunctional it would give you a seizure if you looked at it long enough, and I got a passing grade for it. Was incredible
That sounds so awesome wth? Especially the last part! If I had to take a guess as to how you passed, I’d say it’s because so many people failed that they HAD to pass all of you, otherwise the teacher would probably get fired. I’ve witnessed that sort of thing before, power in numbers!

i remember when all of us AP chem students had a group mental breakdown right before the test
good times
There were only 11 of us in my class, and a teacher who had never taught AP courses before. We would regularly cry together DURING quizzes

We were only on Chapter 10 of the unit and there’s 12 chapters. 3. We had limited time (as in our time was shortened due to schedule changes) and overall the 2020-2021 school year.

I love how people think AP Art is easy or doesn’t require hard work lol. It’s not like other AP classes in the sense that you have to study hard concepts and get tested on them but you have to design your own projects basically. It’s easy to follow teachers’ instructions but in AP Art, your teachers can’t exactly teach you about YOUR ideas. Only you would know that. Artists don’t just do random things and call them art. Every decision is intentional. For other classes you can follow your teachers’ guides, but for AP Art you have to start from scratch, from mood boards, ideation, experiments, sustained investigations, and so on. I think AP Art requires a lot of deep thinking and planning and you also have to be the one keeping yourself on track, it’s just that many don’t see the values in art. You can rush studying concepts, but you cannot rush art, otherwise it’s not gonna be meaningful. Sorry that I went on rambling but I’m just really passionate about Art and I want others to know that it is just as hard as other AP classes.

@@sarahhopelennon4829 there are lots of resources online! personally I used lots of flashcards haha, I made an ap psych podcast episode with a friend too, which really helped me go through everything again. I think the most important thing is to memorise and revise things throughout the year :)) because it's really just very memorisation-based
@@allyyiu4774 i completely agree with you on the flashcards. i have never even touched my assigned textbook after i took it home with me.
@@sonofben9766 LMAO SAME never opened the book after sensation and perception
*omg the AP world one was so accurate*
Bruh so true I am currently and ap world history and is sucks so much
Nah I actually liked AP World. Took it when it was actually world history and not the weird 1500s thing. It was actually a pretty decent curriculum and my teacher was good at making things not Eurocentric. Plus Rome is awesome
@@noname8354 Honestly, its probably because of my teacher. She seems so uninterested and is not good at preparing you for the test. On our unit 3 and 4 test, i got a 41 and so many others got something near that. Honestly if ap world wasent rushed and the teacher actually taught stuff instead of assigning videos and didnt make the class so incredibly tedious, I would probably like it. But then again, she shoves so many assignments down our throats and doesnt give us time to complete them.
@A S yeah im taking it right now and I really like it. Maybe that’s just me though. And also, Greece aint so bad either
Literally passed that class it was with ease it was just so fucking boring
When I took AP Chemistry in junior year my teacher told us that AP stands for pain and agony and there would be a lot of tears while taking the course. She suggested we drop it if we couldn't handle it.
Really all just comes down to who’s teaching the class. A bad teacher can easily make AP Psychology hard af while a good teacher can make AP Calc BC and AP Chem easier than regular classes.
thats very true
honestly truth, my ap psych teacher is the worst, she doesnt even have a psych degree and knows nothing about psychology 😭 and our tests are insanely difficult as well
"AP Music theory: the class that takes all the fun out of music and makes you realize all pop songs sound the same"
jokes on you i became a musician on my own time and learned that myself
What were the main resources you used if you mind sharing?
@@thatoneuser8600 uhhhhh
mostly kinda messing around with various programs (i started with Bosca Ceoil, moved to Anvil Studio, and now use Cakewalk by Bandlab) and people on discord
@@azrend broo I hope you now realize that ap music theory teaches actual theory not how to use fucking cakewalk lmao if you want to actually be a musician take classes
@@-5249 Music theory isn't difficult, you can literally learn it for free in a couple of weeks. The hard part is actually using that music theory by practicing your damn instrument.
@@adamya1639 You have it all wrong buddy. BASIC music theory isn't difficult. You learn basic theory during the first couple of months. Around December, you get into deep advanced theory. You start part-writing. You take all the theory knowledge and write chords and choral arrangements. You have to do it FAST and follow tons of rules. The second half of music theory is pretty hard. I can tell you never took AP music theory. If you ever took the AP theory exam, you would realize how hard it is.
“Hello class, welcome to AP Roasting! I am your teacher, Mr. ShivVZG.”
xD
I just finished my AP world test and man do I tell you that having a good teacher changes everything. I love my AP world teacher sm, he brings so much energy to the class and is really passionate and knowledgeable on the subject, he’s funny but he also teaches us really well how to do certain things to help us write our notes and essays. In fact, he’s the reason we have the highest pass rate in the district (98% I think?), as well as the best DBQ scores. Quite a few of his old students have returned and told us how his teaching has helped them in college, or even just life in general. The yearbook even put him in the “most dad like” category 😭He also has a Pokémon card of himself taped to the tissue box. Hats off to you, mr Huidor.
AP Chemistry: The class that makes you want to drop out of high school - I felt that on a different level
Honestly man we get like 3 pages of homework every night full of problems that each take 20 minutes to do because learning online sucks ass
I probably got a 2 on the exam and I couldn’t care less I’m just glad it’s over lmao
Legit.
Here’s what it feels like. You start off learning the normal shit about chemistry, then all of a sudden, quantum mechanics, spend the next 2 months mashing the calculator just to do the practice questions, and just when you thought the hard part is over, boom, applied advanced algebra and integral calculus that you probably never learned in high school get thrown in your face, forcing you to manually check the basics of each of those courses just to have a fucking clue on wtf you’re doing.
@@bayybars honestly same. i guessed on majority of the exam cuz i was so burnt out.
@@WomanSlayer69420 taking AP Chem next year, this comment honestly scared the 💩 out of me…
ap human geo is literally the class that is used to make the freshman preps boast about being in an ap class because they're freshman.. at least for my high school lmaooo
yeah that's exactly why so many people fail that class lolll its cuz they're all freshman. The upperclassmen who take that class are always prepared for the workload and pass relatively easily.
@@blankb.2277 exactly that's why schools advise students to take ap classes as upperclassmen bc they can handle it.. just don't know why parents will pay to have their student take an ap class if they fail it anyways lmaooo it's always just about their ego
haha I'm a freshman who has no choice but to take the class (and subsequently fail it) because of the IH program I'm in:) y'all really making me feel good and confident about not completely bombing my first year of high school:))
Me taking ap bio in freshman year 💪
And sucking at it
@@colesteinmetz I too took AP Bio in Freshmen. I got a 95 without studying
Hanv in there
Just remember that the Mitochondria is the Powerhouse of the Cell.
"Ap computer Science
Every anti-social smart kid grouped in one class"
Me in Ap computer science: well- they ain't wrong
Did AP comp sci teach you SOLID design principles? Git? Multithreading? Exception handling?
Lol my CSE teacher assigned us a project that we had to do with a partner -- we got to choose who to work with -- and I couldn't help but laugh when she brought up the issue of struggling to find a partner because we're probably all not very sociable introverts.
... she's not wrong. Me and my seatmate just turned awkwardly to each other and spoke like 5 sentences with half being -- "Uh, come again? I'm sorry I couldn't hear you..."
RIGHT
@@thatoneuser8600 You learn the basic concepts of Java. In CS principles, you focus more on that kind of stuff and Python (how much python depends on ur teacher). My teacher basically only taught Python and took like 5 mins to give us some test question answers on cs principles.
principles is wayyyy to easy though. easiest 5 of my life.
APCSP was actually really enjoyable because while, yes, all of us were antisocial nerds, we actually knew how to communicate with each other. my teacher was very encouraging and was also an extremely awkward nerd, so it all balanced out.
In APUSH surprisingly, we haven't learned too much about George Washington
Yeah I’ve learned next to nothing about him in APUSH. The only thing I really learned is that he was kinda bad in the French and Indian war
@@Andrux0821 Imagine if it was in a good way ;)
Now don't contradict what Shiv says
When I took apush the main event was the industrial revolution.
APUSH ramps up after mid 1800s
Not gonna lie the Chem was right on the nose. That class made me rethink my life choices way too much
AP Chem was both my favorite and least favorite class. On one hand we were all seniors, the class was tiny, and we got to play with all the dangerous shit. On the other hand, stoichiometry
Stoichiometry was probably the easiest thing in my AP Chemistry class. Acids and Bases was by far the hardest along with Electrochemistry
Kinetics was the hardest part
@@samthompson8296 fuck kinetics agreed
the only 2 ap classes i took were csp and csa and im so glad that was it because ive heard horror stories from the other ones. and i felt motivated to do those 2 classes because i actually cared about the content.
AP psychology - you spend a year learning that people smile...because they’re happy
I took AP chem for half a semester and can confirm it made me want to drop out of not only high school but also life
me rn 💀 i literally wanted to kms first sem but now we’re in second semester and it’s somehow getting easier (not easy just more understandable)

It’s ok I guess
Well, guess I'm here now.
I love the class cant wait for exam tmr
As an AP Research kid...my 5 thousand word year-long study and presentation is crying in a corner😭🤣
Do you recommend that or ap lit/lang path?
AP Lang: the only AP class where I got a 5 on the final exam.
AP lang, aka How To Lie.
That’s it. We were just taught how to pretend we knew what we were talking about.
Here, have 1/3 of a chapter of a biography of someone you’ve never heard of, write me a godly essay explaining every thought this person has ever had.
I’m in Ap art history and now I feel like not taking that next semester- dang...
Why would you quit now? Shiv just jokin
APAH is the worst class I have ever taken. No awesome teacher could ever make up for how boring this shit is.
Symphally don’t let someone else’s opinion inform what you want to do :) everyone has different experiences. if it’s something that interests you, do it !
it's so easy just finish it
@@me-qh7bx nah, even though the material was boring I had a great teacher who was actually able to make it interesting
I have a friend that had taken literally EVERY math class my school had by the time he was a junior, so since at my school we need 4 math credit to graduate, he took AP Stats. Hell on earth for him.
That one about AP chem was so true. I don't think I've ever watched my grade drop so low while feeling like I could do nothing about it.
Me, struggling in AP chem and close to a mental breakdown : 😃
Disappointment _ it's honestly not that bad
@@ch.illmatic it’s not bad when you have a good teacher. My teacher expects us all to figure it out by ourselves and doesn’t give notes
Wanna know why you have mental break downs ʘ‿ʘ -A very tired AP psych student
@@disappointment_4001 that sucks lowkey damn
@@El-no5wv because my teacher doesn’t teach or lecture. She gives us these packets with vocabulary we have never used and she doesn’t explain them. She also expects us to come to find the answers on our own and makes test questions weirdly worded and complicated. Oh, and by ‘finding the answers on our own’ she splits us up into groups and says to draw whatever is happening on the whiteboards when she gave no explanation of what is happening. Also, I cannot follow the book because she doesn’t follow it and her lessons are all over the place
AP Art, more like the class that takes the joy out of expressing yourself bc you have to make a bunch of pieces within a short period of time
What do you think artists do exactly?
@@user-uy9sn3jz3f not force themselves through a full blown art piece every two-three weeks consistently for a whole year, that's what :)
still gonna take it and im genuinely so scared
@@animantis same, i hope we both make it 🙁
Eminem been real quiet since this released.
I’m taking AP seminar this year and to be honest, it’s not AS bad as some people make it out to be but doing the research portions of the class can got pretty difficult 💔
the exam was easy, the class was more stressful than difficult :/
0:13 As a former AP Euro student, this is so accurate.
what’s a dbq
@@Raddkann Short for Document-Based Question. Essentially you’re given some historical documents to use as evidence in an argumentative essay.
As current AP euro student I feel like the homework takes me the longest do to and everything is a SAQ and DBQ.
Yes, so true
I got a 4 on the test, I’m pretty happy with that
Fact: During october the mitochondria becomes the haunted house of the cell. My AP Bio teacher has confirmed this.
I'm in six AP classes and I've taken the SAT three times but the college board is a monopolistic scam and I hate giving it my money. Fortunately I get a fee waver for most stuff anyway.
the fright-ocondria
@@sofiapetrova8547 lol nice
I actually had AP Human Geo.
same
I flunked the test
But who even cares tbh
I love my ap human geography teacher she always makes me smile
currently taking it rn
As someone who just finished taking AP human geography, I can confirm that the summary of it was indeed accurate
literally i dont remember a single thing I learned besides something abt a dtm
“AP Human Geography: a class so useless your school probably doesn’t even offer it.”
lmao its the only ap class they let freshman take at my school
Yep same
same
As someone who took AP world history, I can confirm that we sure as hell did learn how to sleep with our eyes open
I slept through the entire class and still got a b and a 4
Meh, dbq and essay bleh but yes and im also take AP art history kinda loopsnwith APWH
So far have taken AP Human Geography (amazingly, my school offers it) and AP Environmental Science and can confirm those roasts are completely accurate
AP in general: simple concepts made extremely difficult for no reason whatsoever
The ap chem one is very much true. After the first semester, our class had dropped from 30 students to 8, practically everyone fails at least a few tests, and no curves.
I might drop that shi fr because its gonna end up killing me like actually cause why have i been losing sleep and a great chunk of it cause of this class
Damn I was thinking of taking it next year. I’m a sophomore taking honors chem and it’s pretty interesting to me and I enjoy science. So I was thinking of taking it next year but I didn’t know it was this hard 😅
Might still take it because science is my best subject and the teacher is great and I already know him.
Fr mfs tryna make us pay 142$ for the final college board exam hell nah im so close to leaving 💀💀
I've only taken APHG (was only a freshman in highschool), and even tho most places don't offer it, holy shit is it one of the best classes i've ever taken. It's just "world" class. You just learn about so many different things about how the world is now and how it developed to be that way. One of the best classes you could take, especially if you ever want to travel.
Agreed
I regret not taking it
yep best class ever it was honestly fun
easy test, easy content, it was so fun and interesting! our teacher showed us documentaries during it too
If only I had a better teacher, bro she made me redo 7 hours of work I already did like 6 months ago 😢
"AP World History: A class so boring you'll learn how to fall asleep with your eyes open"
"AP Human Geography: A class so useless, your school probably doesnt even offer it"
I got both of these... and aside from knowing where places are on a map, I can attest to not learning 💩 in either
Wait people can smile because they are happy?
:P
Might've hit the jackpot for AP Chem this year, teacher's adamant about asking for clarification so that concepts are understandable, AND because she hasn't been teaching the class for long, it's a bit more lenient. I don't really like the mandatory notes she wants us to do but at least its due every unit, which is tomorrow (HELP), but, could be worse. Class just feels like regular chemistry but you just need to be good at math (Algebra II+) and it will be alright.
Honestly WHAP was the opposite for me, teacher was real cool and brought actual artifacts (replicas) to class, though she had a bit of an ego... then again she had 2 master degrees, tons of guns, traveled nearly everywhere and was just badass, asked why she didn't become a professor or something, she said she had to make less stupid people, I aspire to be her one day.
I wish she was my teacher ong
I'd have a bit of an ego too if i did all that shit got damn
the actual class sucks but my teacher makes it more fun
Ur actually so lucky
I WANT MINE TO BE LIKE THAT BC I TAKE IT THIS AUGUST i love history
In conclusion, AP classes are pointless xD
Yes
They’re not pointless, just annoying and ostentatious
@@fatdingo8251 so?
@@disr3686 😂 Sounds like something a person with bad grades might say. :)
