Question Posted Wednesday January 24 2007, 6:21 pm
i have two questions but if you can only answer one thatll be ok! first off im 16 and a sophomore.
1- i was wonderin how much harder are AP courses than advanced? i took 9th and 10th advanced literature and i was recommended for AP liturature next year and was wondering how much more of a struggle it honestly is?
2- im really worried that i wont survive in college. i make mostly all a's and an occasion b on report cards in regular & advanced classes, but the thing is, i dont really learn much! i memorize information, pass the tests because of that, soon forget it, but usually do all my homework, therefore i get high grades. i dont really try to do this, but it jus kinda happens. i zone out and stuff so yeah + if its not an interesting subject i just can not learn it. is that going to affect me a whole lot in college? im scared of flunking out especially since i want to try to get into a major university!

Well, its not exactly hard, it just takes a lot more time and effort, so make sure that you are ready for it. Since you're already in advanced, it will only be a bit of a step up from that. Of course, i don't really know your entire school's curriculum, but thats how it works here.
as far as your second question, you should be fine. That is how studying works. You still have the information inside you if you can pass your tests, but you will probably need to just refresh teh information before you have mid-terms and finals and things. If you work hard and have grades like that, you should be completely fine in college. Don't worry about it. YOu have two more years.

it all depends on which college you go too...community colleges are really no different then highschool...unverisities are hard...I think once you get in college you enter a whole new mindset realising this is where my future starts and whatever I do here effects me for the rest of my life..yes in college you do take core classes but the majority classes are ones geared toward your major so you wont have the fousing problem [ JesusFreak2006's advice column | Ask JesusFreak2006 A Question ]
