Study Hours

TBK: How come you're in Geometry? The ap class here is Algebra 1 so I don't get to take Geometry til next year.


And the reason I have no homework: ND.

Just wait. I could do that in HS, but now in university, if you don't do homework, even though it doesn't count, you're screwed.

He's not even in high school. If you can do that in high school your classes suck.

I got all my homework done in class, and I retained everything in most classes. I didn't take notes once during my Economics class, and I had a 98% in that course. Class average? Low 70s.

EDIT: And that was an AP course too.

Doesn't count your school is too small.

wtf? doesn't mean the course isn't as hard as anywhere else.

I think he is talking about the class average.

Yeah. And it really does depend on the school. For instance, my math teacher takes the whole period teaching and my chem lab reports take a long time just to write up.

theres no such thing as algebra 1

Well the nice part about being in college is that you can mostly just get by by just showing up to class lol. but i've probably done 2 hours of homework since i started class last week, so I am putting in SOME effort.

AP classes take the same test anyways dont they?? Like kids in washington for AP calc take the same test as the kids in AP calc in uhhh New jersey? Does it work like that?

Offtopic: my brother who's now going to wsu met someone from a private school that we always race in track, my brother is like a celebrity I guess because that guy knew him but my bro had no idea who he was,haha....POINT he spent $20,000 dollars a year on tution to go to school when they all end up in the same college anyways =/ get it?? I just find that interesting and pointless.

yea, AP tests are the same worldwide.

i dont get how you guys can get hwk done in class. do they give you time to do it? or do you guys do it while the teacher is teaching?

well not worldwide we don't get them in england
do you get them in hk?
we do the international mathematical olympiad
which is world wide

^^We did the math olympiad in middle school.
I won it for the school for three years straigh lol

lol i did the math olympiads in middleschool too haha.

and yea, we do get AP classes in HK.

I had that book my 9th grade year.

I used that book in 8th grade. P2, honors =/= AP. There is no Algebra 1 AP class.

My classes are hella easy. Our school doesn't offer AP for sophomores and we switched to block scheduling, so I get 90 minutes every other day to do my homework. On top of that, I have all of my real classes on the same day, so I end up having homework like twice a week.

oopsy poopsy i guess i meant honors.

Yeah if you are honors math in 8th grade you take Algebra 1. At least thats what I did and how my school does it.

4 weeks in i've spent less than an hour on hw/studying =\

My school use to do that too. Your 8th grade year you could take algebra 1 or 8th grade math or both. But the year I became an 8th grader they quit letting us do that

It counts as a high school credit too.

I don't know...I'm in two AP classes and the other two are Honors and I still have a 4.0 (unweighted).

It really depends on how much you can retain during class, and how effective your study time is. If you aren't studying for as long, but you're doing it in a way that helps you remember as much as you possibly can, you don't have to study as much. Or if you take notes in class and just flip through those at night.

Some people need to study. For others, it's more flexible (in high school).

It also depends where you go to high school. I guarantee that there are places where you can't get
away with not studying. I study effectively, have an excellent memory, and still average 3 hours a night.

My school has extremely good academics, like were one of the top in state, and like I said, I barely study...it more depends on the person, not the school.

I would say it more depends on the teacher
in this years gcse tables my school was bout number 12 in the country
with almost all the ones above us private schools
