什么是AP课程和AP考试 AP考试所有考试科目一览.doc

什么是AP课程和AP考试 AP考试所有考试科目一览同学们对AP课程产生的一些常见问题包括:什么是AP课程和AP考试?我应该修几门AP课程?我可以不上AP课程就参加AP考试吗?它们值得参加吗?等等等等。
接下来,我将回答大家所有这些问题,并帮助比较AP课程的优缺点,以便同学们做出决定。
什么是AP课程?大学预修(AP)课程旨在通过更具挑战性的课程,让高中生为大学更高水平的学业和期望做好准备。
AP课程被认为是大学水平的课程。
如果AP考试分数足够高,考生可以获得一定的大学学分。
AP评分为1-5分,其中5分是最高分,表示“非常优秀”,1则表示“不推荐”。
通常,只要有3分及以上就可以获得大学学分。
什么是AP考试?AP考试每年五月举行。
共有38项考试,它们都有以下共同特点:1、每项考试时长都是2-3小时。
2、对于错误的答案或未回答的问题,不会进行扣分。
3、第一部分是多项选择题。
4、第二部分由自由回答的问题组成,这些问题可以用文章、口头(会话)或问题解决方案的形式来回答。
谁能上AP课程?这取决于学校的政策。
在某些情况下,学生必须在某一特定科目上有一定的GPA或成绩才能参加AP课程。
应该上几节AP课程?请记住申请大学时,招生人员不仅要看你的总体GPA,还要看学生所修课程的难易程度。
因此,参加AP课程不仅有助于提高平均绩点(因为它们通常是加权的),而且还能表明作为申请人的你富有挑战性。
有很多科目提供AP考试,从数学和科学到心理学再到外语(完整的列表在文章最后),尽管不是所有的高中都会提供以下所有课程。
我建议同学们选择的AP课程最好与自己大学想要修学的专业有关。
如果一个学生想要继续医学预科学习,他们的成绩单上最好有科学AP课程的成绩。
没有必要参加高中提供的每一门AP课程。
相反,只把你的注意力集中在你想要学习的领域。
相对于修超级多的AP课程只获得了很低的分数,修少几门AP课程并获得高分,是更可取的。
我必须和我申请的大学分享我的分数吗?学生可以从他们想要申请的大学名单中保留一个或多个AP分数。
AP英语语言与写作中有哪些注意事项

AP英语语言与写作中有哪些注意事项AP写作类的课程,并不像理科那样,有一些知识点,老师可以预测。
大家可以以这篇推文反思一下AP英语语言与写作中有哪些注意事项?先说总体注意事项1. 考试要求上说是用钢笔或中性笔写,实际上你用铅笔写也行,因为我们看的都是扫描版本的卷子,所以写的字迹清晰,扫描后能让阅卷老师看清楚即可。
2.AP写作是高级写作,不要把字数越多越好这条硬给它扣上去。
没有意义的凑字数反而会被扣分。
所以:q1和q3想不出三个body段,展开充分的写2个也行,不少于两面纸。
q2可以分析2个修辞,不一定要分析3个修辞。
不少于两面纸即可。
3.按照道理说,三篇作文可以一起计时:2小时15分钟。
但是每次都有个别考官比较严格,每一篇文章单独计时(第一篇55分钟/第二篇和第三篇都是40分钟),你可以提醒考官,是建议我们单独计时,但是不是强制单独计时。
4.阅读考试1个小时,每次考试选择题目不固定,2017年官网的告诉我们的是52-55题。
所以大家不要少做了!居然每门考试都有少做选择题的同学。
5.阅读部分不要纠结个别题目/文章中个别语句。
阅读错到8个以内,再少也不会对总分贡献太多。
因为写作部分占总成绩55%。
三篇作文第一题:几个注意的点:1.本题其实就是让你写议论文,只不过reasoning/evidence都已经告诉你了而已。
所以议论文要求的,整个文章的论点/每段的分论点/段落中说清楚原因。
你都应该做到。
不要写成”用你自己的话把素材全部串联起来”这种文章。
2.素材的evidence一般给的都比较足,但是reasoning给的不足,有个别分论点需要你自己想reasoning。
备注:以2013年Q1为例:有的素材只给你了纪念一件事的时候,我们要把这件事主人公的名字也纪念出来。
但是素材没有告诉你原因,只告诉你“要把人名也在写在纪念碑上。
”你这个原因要自己想,比如,只有这样,我们才能把一件有纪念价值的event纪念全。

AP英语语言与写作和AP文学和写作学习要求和内容

标题:AP英语语言与写作和AP文学和写作学习要求和内容(一) 、学习AP英语语言和写作与AP英语文学和写作的原因我们首先谈谈高考改革对英语学习的意义。
教育部最近公布了未来高考英语考试的成绩报告方式将逐步由具体分数制改变为五级报告制。
今后我国大学录取学生时将更多的参考学生高考英语的分数段,而不是具体分数。
这种分数报告制度将对评价学生的英语水平更加合理。
我国改革开放后早已经面对世界了,未来孩子们长大成人后如果没有一定的国际视野是不容易在竞争激烈的国际市场上生存和发展,掌握英语其实是和世界接轨的必要的工具。
如果说我们这代人掌握英语也许还是个必备技能的可选项,未来掌握英语就一定是未来人才的必选项。
家长重视英语教育没有问题,问题是英语学习的目标更多强调应付各种英语考试,脱离了学习英语的实际目的。
高考语考试是我国英语教学的指南针,我们应该研究考试制度能否引导孩子们有正确的学习目标和采取正确的英语学习方法。
在我国的英语考试,如小升初、中考、高考、研究生入学英语考试,更侧重于选拔功能,与国际标准化英语考试相比,对于英语学习的指导意义还有待更多的探讨。
世界上英语标准化考试主要有英国和美国的体系。
英国剑桥大学国际英语水平考试主要包括剑桥通用英语考试(MSE)和雅思考试。
这种语言测试的标准是几十年都不变的。
MSE 考试对其划分的五个级别的英语水平在听、说、读、写各单项的标准都制定清晰的教学和考核目标。
通过对试题的命题的反复研究,初期摸底测试、对考官的反复培训和考核是目标具体落实。
这种考试的标准化和严谨性对于英语学习的指导清晰明确,学生们可以一步一个脚印的学习并通过相应考核。
达到MSE最高标准和雅思考试是同步的。
美国的标准化英语考试除了上部分提到的托福、SAT、AP,还有有小托福(TOEFL Junior)和ACT考试。
小托福和托福是美国人给留学生设计的考试,其中小托福是留学生准备去美国读高中前参加英语水平考试,而托福是留学生准备去美国读大学前、读研究生前要参加的英语水平考试,这种语言测试是美国基于外国人到美国读书应达到的语言能力设置的。
