Year help: I’m not confident in taking AP English 11 but my parents won’t let me drop it - Help.com

Don’t stress out about HS grades, they really don’t matter that much.

I’m being serious. Most schools have a grace period where you can drop out if you don’t do well, so don’t worry. Plus, if you do get in there, and it is hard and you do poorly, then you can blame your parents :D

But really, from a guy that just got done w/ HS — don’t worry about grades so much, you will get in the college you want just fine — even if you do poorly in that class, they will see its an AP and not some remedial science or something.

Honestly AP classes help so much if you commit just a little extra effort to them. I’m going to get the classes I want to take as a freshman in college because of them. If you do well on the AP test at the end of the year they can knock thousands off your college tuition, by not having to take some classes or giving you enough credits to let you graduate early.

But yeah don’t worry too much about your grades, try your best. If a college sees that a student is pushing themselves, it definitely pays off!

Ya AP English is easy. Im in my 4th year of it and its not as hard as you think it to be. Just take some extra time out of your day and spend it on it.

Taking AP is you’re not confident about it is a stupid mistake. If you’re GPA is in the toilet, you should take easier classes, not harder ones. like wtf common sense duh. i dont get what parents dont get about that.

AP classes are actually a lot of fun I myself took AP English and loved it theres some history involved and I got to do a lot of projects It’s really not as bad as everyone says just study and use your mind you’ll do fine!

but some people just aren’t cut out for it. i know it might be easy to the people who replied to this, but AP’s are a lot more work. Some people just can’t handle it, actually MOST people can’t. So still, i think if you are not confident, you shouldnt have to take it.

I don’t know I think if more people really took the time and go with a positive attitude they would be able to accomplish a lot more it’s also a huge plus colleges classes are not like high school classes and you will be able to get the hang of it a lot better if you take AP classes it could be English ,government, or Econ.

i went into AP Euro with a positive attitude and came out with ****.

lololol did you try and do the homework ask for help when you needed it? took extra time to study? did you really do all you could to pass??

….No.
but i went in with a positive attitude lol!
well…kind of. Well i did! but i didnt actually intend to take the class. I just too the entrance exam to be like ***** i couldve taken that! but then i actually took it.

lololololol well i think I know why you failed lololol so Mikozee know you see you need a positive attitude and you need to study and ask for help when you need it and you will be fine.

haha i just dont like to admit it. =P and i didnt totally fail. I got a C! but i got a 2 on the AP exam. but i have a feeling i was very close to a three based on the calculations i made with the formula my teacher gave me.

lol see think of it like this a C in a AP class is like a B or a B+ in a college prep class!!

haha i do! it makes me feel a lot better! But a 2 on the AP exam just looks so ugly.

On the Euro? I got a 3 don’t feel too bad.

so just don’t look at the AP exam only look at the C possibly B+ on college prep class lol

haha yeah and i dont have to send the AP score to colleges. that makes me happy.

yup thats the good thing about the AP exams if you fail you don’t have to send them to colleges.

but u can send the ones u passed right? like if i pass my APES exam? Can i send that but NOT send my APEH exam?

yeah you can send the ones you pass

oooh good that makes me happy.

lolol good
