Don't ask questions out of class. Ask during class. Be nice. Stay invisible. Do your homework, it's free practice for tests. Remember as much as u can so you can maximize what you can put on your cheat sheet. (YES YOU GET A CHEAT SHEET + PERIODIC TABLE W/ EQUATIONS ON THE TEST)

Mr. Barrett was probably one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is so respectful to students and understands how everyone has things going on in their lives. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for an extension, he will 10/10 always give it to you. He is very laid back when it comes to late work, but don't take advantage of it. The class itself, I had him for AP Environmental Science, was fairly easy in the first semester, but the second was a bit difficult when it came to the material. Make sure you pay attention and do your work, and you will for sure be fine. The concepts are easy, you just have to spend time to try to learn them. I ended the class with an A+ and it was one of the most interesting and fun classes I ever took.

Anatomy is going to be a hard class.. It takes a lot of work and commitment, so if you are looking for an easy class, this is a hard pass. If you do your work and study it will be a cinch.

AP Psych is easy if you can memorize a lot of terms. Recommend taking anatomy along with this class, makes them both go a lot smoother at least the first semester

Geography with Castro is likely the easiest class you will go through, however, he loses many papers easily so watch out for that.

Cincotta expects you to take your own notes within your own paper so you will have to do a lot of writing. His homework assignments are not hard if you write good notes, and he goes over them in class frequently. He also curves tests.

If you're someone who's been breezing through school without any real difficulty, this is probably gonna be your brick wall. Don't expect to do well without doing what Ms. Downum tells you to (get homework done, read sections, review a week before test, SLEEP). It's a difficult course, but it's manageable as long as you build good study and work habits along the way. Ms. Downum is very fast paced, so you will have to get used to that if you aren't at the start. She is more than happy to help you in office hours if you are really struggling, so definitely take advantage of it. General Tips: For labs, do literally exactly what she tells you to do. Word for word, step for step. For lab reports, confirm with other classmates that you're on the right track. For tests, they are a time game first and foremost. If you don't finish the all or MCQs by the halfway point, ignore them and move on. Because it's a time game, you really need to understand the material to be able to keep up and succeed. Memorizing rules and formulas helps, but you will get stuck at points if you don't understand how they truly work and where they apply. For studying, take advantage of summary page of the textbook. At the end of each chapter, there is a page of summary. What I like to do is go through each point and write down all I understand about it. If there is a gap in my knowledge, I go back and relearn it. Good luck.

Do all of the homework and submit it on time, even if you think you got several of the problems wrong. She doesn't grade homework based on accuracy, but does grade heavily on completion and timeliness. So, even if you submit your homework a day or two later, you'll get some credit, but not all, and that could bring your grade down. For tests, just study well in advance. Don't wait until the last minute. Ms. Eidelmann is hard, but really prepares you for more advanced math classes in the future. If you don't understand a concept, don't hesitate to stop by and ask questions after school. Good luck.

Make sure to read the chapters and make good notes (even though it is 0% of your grade) it will help you with your review questions which are like 60% of your grade. If you can keep this up, I highly believe you will pass his class

This class is easy if you actually try. The material is fairly easy to understand, and Mrs. Gable does her best to make sure you learn it. It's better if you read the new chapter and start taking notes before she starts the lectures in class so you have a grasp of what she's lecturing about first. A lot of time in class is spent on activities based on the material. Overall, the class was extremely fun for me. The only thing I regret is not participating more in class and talking more to Mrs. Gable.

Biology with Ms. Hong is quite easy. Her tests are multiple choice and are pretty easy. If you study hard for them, then you're sure to get 100% often. Her assignments help you for the tests and are useful. The teacher herself is super nice and kind, so if you have any questions, do not hesitate to talk to her. For example, the beginning of the year, she had organized a seating chart, but my friend and I privately requested to sit next to each other, and she accommodated our request immediately, since we still paid attention during class. So, she's really nice, but don't take advantage of that. On finals, she allows a one page cheatsheet, so try to fit as much as you can on there in tiny handwriting. DO NOT FORGET TO DO THE CHEAT SHEET FOR FINALS! It is extremely helpful for your final exam. I have friends who have different teachers for biology and they're often complaining, so if you have Ms. Hong, count yourself lucky. Good luck! :)

Always derive formulas and understand WHY concepts work--even though you'll pass this class without doing that, you need to set yourself up for success in future math classes.

When you're in his class on lecture day, don't sleep; don't worry about finishing the notes. Actually listening to his story about each subject is a way to study for his test. Just do your work on time; he doesn't care if you turn it in late. He's a chill teacher. Don't be mean to him; he's nice. I have one of the best years of learning history with him.

Review every day. Don't treat this class like an average math class, but rather more like a hybrid of social studies and mathematics. Make sure you really focus on Liao's responses to questions since even if you may not have to reproduce a carbon copy of it, he goes above the minimum requirement for specific questions.

One very important piece of advice I would give to any student taking Mr. Marino’s class is to go into it with an open heart and a positive attitude, because his class is not just an ordinary class it’s an incredibly meaningful, motivating, and life-changing experience. Mr. Marino is an extremely understanding, patient, and inspiring teacher who genuinely cares about his students both inside and outside the classroom. He encourages everyone to be curious, creative, and confident. His lessons are always full of energy, passion, and thought-provoking ideas that make you want to learn more. He doesn’t just teach the subject he teaches you how to think, how to believe in yourself, and how to handle the challenges life throws your way. What makes Mr. Marino’s class so special is that he goes far beyond textbooks and tests. He has this unique ability to connect with his students on a deep and personal level. He helped me get involved in so many exciting things school activities, clubs, and projects that I never thought I’d have the confidence to join. Because of him, I discovered new interests and found the courage to try new things. Even during hard times, when my parents were going through a difficult divorce, Mr. Marino was there for me. He gave me encouraging advice, listened when I needed to talk, and helped me stay focused when everything felt like it was falling apart. He reminded me that school can be a safe and supportive place, and that learning can actually be healing. If you want to succeed in Mr. Marino’s class, my advice is to stay organized, participate in everything you can, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Take notes carefully, because his lessons often connect in ways you’ll realize later. Stay respectful, curious, and open-minded, because he values effort and honesty more than perfection. Most importantly, enjoy the process of learning because in his class, you don’t just earn grades, you gain wisdom, confidence, and a new way of seeing the world

Make sure you participate a lot, it raises your grade by quite a bit. Even if you say an answer not completely, correct, she will see you are trying to learn and will help you out. You also get on the teachers good side. Dont take advantage of the fact that she lets you use your phones in class. Only use it for the time she says to use it

Very strict about her deadlines. The two most important skills you need in her class are, 1) proactivity, and 2) reading comprehension. She takes off 50% for anything that's late, and you have to be careful when you write emails to her. Have email etiquette, and do NOT risk using ai or plagiarizing because she is very generous with grading essays, and she will not hesitate to give you a zero. Show that you can engage with her material because she will be less strict with you.

Actually do the assignments and especially do your notebook. Tests are a big part of your grade but some points can be made up in test corrections. Same with quizzes. Don't procrastinate on your layer notes because they take a LONG time. Instead space them out over a week or two weeks.

Ms. Yi is one of the best teachers I have had my entire life. Her method of teaching makes you interested in math. Her tests and quizzes and not extremely hard but do require you to be proficient in what has been learned in class and Ms. Yi does a very good job at that. But she is very strict about the cleanness of you tests and quizzes and might cut points of if your work is all around the place.
