Taking such a high math course in my freshman year of high school was a great opportunity for me. Math was always an intriguing subject to me not just its depth but also its scalability to so many different applications. Calculus is a subject that has many applications so is very useful. I was not at all intimidated by the thought of being in a class with people that were older than me because I had already gotten used to that feeling in middle school (also it’s much easier not to be noticed in remote meetings). Overall, I got great grades and I learned a lot about math and Calculus in this class. One of the most important and challenging experiences during the year was preparing for the AP exam. I had never taken an AP exam before so I didn’t know what to expect. A couple of weeks before the exam I began extensively reviewing my notes, free response questions, and some multiple-choice questions. (At the time of writing) After taking the test, I think I did a pretty good job on it. The AP exam was not as difficult as I thought it would be. For the rest of the year, we learned some more about Calculus.
I got a 5.
