Make sure that you know the material, it is a super discussion based class and requires you to understand basic principles and able to apply them to current events. Many of this is a result of having knowledge of current events and basic knowledge of the American government system, so it is easy to get discussion points, most of the class is based on this so to do well on tests and on the ap test you need to commit yourself to learning the specific details at home. There is not a ton of guidance on which details to know and which you do not need to know. The class is a very fun environment if you like American politics and discussing politics, it relies on your enjoyment and following of current events rather than just preparing for the test. Mr. Bergquist enjoys a teachable moment, you will have more of these rather than following a really strict syllabus.

Make sure you listen and take notes on her lectures because all of this will show up on the test. She gives review guides, do them, the packet of practice questions are not always necessary but she does sometimes pull questions from there (also quizlet). But if you want to do well on the final ap exam you should try and just learn the material in the first place because she makes it very easy. Do the test corrections because they will boost your grade. Also she gives you an extra 2% I think on your final grade IF you have no late assignments. Overall do the work she assigns and you will be fine.

don't focus too much on memorizing vocab, as long as you get the conjugations and grammar right and just try your best you'll get by just fine w an a-b

as a junior, ap psychology is my favorite class ive taken throughout all of high school. the idea of an ap class may be dreading, but if you're interested in why humans act how they do at all, i would highly highly suggest it. since it is an ap course, the work for it is a lot, but if you're interested in the subject, it doesn't feel like work at all. i find myself actually looking forward to taking notes because i find the subject so interesting. as well as in class, i dread test days not just because of the tests but because we won't have the lecture-style class that coury puts on. even when we are just taking notes, coury is a super entertaining teacher and makes the material even more fun to learn. for the tests- make sure to just study a quizlet a couple of times for the terms test and you'll be good to go. for the multiple choice, do the college board progress check first, and then after learning what you got wrong, study those parts extra for the multiple choice test.

There's a lot of busy-work handed out in his class, and a lot of involuntary classroom participation as well (most of the class relies on random selection for answers). For AP Stats, his test review for the final AP test is not necessarily a good basis of what will actually be on the AP test, so I also recommend doing your own research and memorization, separate of his class.

APUSH is a class where you need to figure out how much you can "cheat". It isn't real cheating but there are shortcuts to the work depending on how much you already know. Because it is US history a lot of the students know a majority of the material so can get away with not reading the textbook and using the outline for notes. But it you do not have a good grasp on the information the tests and essays will show that you took the shortcuts when you were not proficient with the material. The class is very interesting and the teachers both have fun activities and teach the material well. I recommend finding a good group of other students in the class that you can collaborate on because it makes the class a lot more manageable.

while my experience may have been different due to distance learning, this class was hard and i feel like our assignments did not properly prepare us for the tests:(

even though through sophomore year i was a great english student, i got tired of the same 'read a book-and-write an essay' phenomenon over and over again. one of my friends who was a year older than me told me to take newspaper in junior year, and i'm glad i did. the entire class works as a team to put out a print, which is actually really cool, especially when your writing and hard work gets published. we have 'mini units' that break up when we're just writing about stories, but the cool thing is the entire class comes up with story ideas on their own, so it's not just random things that teachers think are interesting. the first couple issues may be rough because it takes awhile to get used to the format of the class, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun. at first, it feels really fast paced, but mrs. steil is pretty lenient with deadlines. don't be scared to reach out to her and the eic's for help, because i know for a fact i wasn't the only one super confused and lost within the process when the school year first started. the entire process of producing a newspaper has so many layers within it, it was really confusing the first couple of times we did it. also, we have the opportunity to go on a trip with the class! we are going to l. a. this year. there are other opportunities within the trip, like going to conventions with the writing.

Ms. Swanson is definitely the teacher you want to take AP Chemistry with. AP Chemistry as a class is very content heavy, so, like with any teacher, it's going to be filled with memorization and work. My recommendation for AP Chemistry is to take the labs seriously before the AP Test---don't 'lock' in right before the AP exam. What you learn in the labs is going to be on the AP FRQs, and the best way for you to memorize it is through classroom participation.

Complete all the assignments and you'll be just fine, it's more about using skills learned than memorization.

It's an AP class, so it requires that you pay attention to your notes and do your best to be descriptive. The tests are open-note, but if you're like me and didn't take notes for the first half of the year you're not gonna do too well.
