@TwinkLes:

Yes, exactly. They need to back up their logic just as much as they ask us to do so in our work. And a wider-range of study will eventually lead to improvements

@khbleach:

Yeah, it's best to see all sides, and the reasons WHY many economists think capitalism works best.

@TwinkLes:

That's very true. When studying global issues, we always find economics in there somewhere. I didn't like Econ in high school because it was just capitalism, they didn't address any other practices and it felt more like propaganda like "our capitalism is the best, etc" at least that's the vibe I got from the way my crappy teacher taught it >__>

@khbleach:

Econ is actually interesting though! And I feel they should teach it more in schools because it's actually really important and relevant to almost every issue we have in the world...

@TwinkLes:

They do try to confuse you >__> I didn't take econ, but I can imagine. I doubt I'd fare too well in an econ class...

@khbleach:

I feel like some of it isn't important! Like the English passages TRY to confuse you a bunch! And some of the information on the Econ ones last year annoyed me >__>

@TwinkLes:

I hadn't either until we discussed it in class xD

Haha xD How so?

@khbleach:

My teacher was like you coulda used Candide, but I hadn't even thought of it as that type of novel 0__o

LOL I'm glad to know it's better than AP! I think some of the AP material is BS, to be honest.

@TwinkLes:

Awww, that sucks! I think I got a similar prompt...and luckily I was able to use Candide (one of the few things I read, liked, and remembered)

Yay to being done with AP! It is so much harder than college is...at least in my case. I've had an easier time with college tests and assignments than AP exams. If I freak out about stuff, it's 'cause I keep procrastinating.

@khbleach:

It was hard...

I took AP Lit today and the one free response essay on a novel or whatever threw me off, because I prepared for practically any prompt besides one about a coming of age novel. And it was about a coming of age novel *shoots self* Shouldn't have gotten lazy studying!
I need a 5 for English credit, and I got a 4 on Lang last year >__> Oh well haha I'M DONE WITH AP.

@TwinkLes:

Oh, no! I'm sure you did well though! Way better than me that's for sure! Tell me about it >__> I didn't know what they were asking 90% of the time...

Yes they are. That's a definite plus. I placed into 4th year English thanks to both AP scores, so I didn't have to take dull writing classes. Really?! Wow...

@khbleach:

Yeah a 5! Same for English, if I want credit! It's crazy.
THAT EXAM WAS AWFUL OMG. We studied AP practice stuff straight for a trimester in my Calc class and I still didn't know what some of the multiple choice were asking.

Yeah, I think public schools are nicer about AP credit. My school also limits the number of credit hours you can get from AP exams >__>

@TwinkLes:

You're welcome :) a 5?! That's a tough school! I think a 3 was enough here, and even though I didn't clear it, I didn't need it since only science and engineering majors have to take it.

@khbleach:

Thanks! It's sad because at my college, I need a 5 to get out of a placement test. If I don't get a 5 I have to take a Calculus placement exam in August (Nooooo!). #highexpectations

@TwinkLes:

Lol thanks!!

D: will do! good luck!!!!

You probably brought the average way up LOL nice job!

PRAY FOR MY SOUL. AP Calc BC exam tomorrow morning!
