This is my first real long-form video so I hope y’all enjoyed 😁
we loved the video, your humor shined, and it was really entertaining..Great work!
Bro you got me dying on the floor! I never knew you were so funny!
WE NEED A COLLAB WITH GOHAR
Collab Plz

you owe me a new pack of markers
When are you gonna rank your ap classes, Gohar?
i love your bros sarcasm lol
did you also go to a small school in boston?
Gohar wsg bro
😂😂😰😨😱😱🫢😭😭😭
btw he went to Harvard
oh my days! the amount of knowledge I have gained from this comment is absolutely insane!
I HAVE to show my parents this guy, they're making me take 18-24 APs cause they think its the only way to get into a top school...I mean I can manage it, but its a pain in the assss
@@Kdiekrbfmy school doesn’t let us take aps in 9th grade and I have a lot of required classes so the most I can physically take is 14. Ppl in our school still manage to get into good schools so idk if 18-24 is necessary
@@torn20blivion32 yeah, our district allows several APs in 9th, but the only ones ppl will take are aphug or apcsp. Thing is that I live in Texas, so as long as I get top 6% then I get auto-admission to UT Austin and it is super cheap for Texas residents. That's the only reason for me to tryhard on my aps
My debate coach is the exact same. We went to Harvard for a tournament and all she could talk about was "oh, I remember this," and "oh, fun fact..." let's just say it was more than a little annoying
I agree with Mahad on APUSH. I have no interest in history, but class made me a history buff on US history. I'm taking AP Gov, and randomly APUSH hits me during class. It's crazy the connections you can make between AP Gov and APUSH! It was hard because I took it in sophomore year, and it was the first AP class my school offered. It was hard at the moment, but now all that history is just stuck in my brain, and I don't know what to do it after AP Gov.
i took apush in freshman and it was still fun
@@therealdrk01freshman? Damn your lucky in my school were only allowed to take it as a junior I’m a sophomore rn
SAME! I love apush!
I am taking it next year. I am currently in pre-AP history. AP classes aren’t offered for freshman at my school. APUSH is the only AP class offered to sophomores.
In my school, freshman don’t take history. Sophomores take AP World or regular, and juniors take APUSH or regular.
I'm really loving the long-form video, and I think you should continue to make them since your content is so interesting. Please do make a video ranking all AP classes!
Great video! Perfect length and good humor, perfect combination.
YESSS, please make a vid about the 40 APs/ Difficulty. I'm a rising freshman wanting to get into MIT so I'm curious!
he made a yt short abt it already
how many ap classes are you in as a freshman right now?
I dont think you can take ap classes your freshmen year @Rex9352.
I know firsthand you can take aps as a freshman @evade_
@@eldunari6676I took Calc ab my freshmen year. I was pretty ahead in the math department entering my high-school years.
Those words appearing on the paper at the beginning was perfect
Can't wait to watch the video
W Video. Crazy clips and ranks. 😎 W Harvard
Someone who took AP Calc BC here, only to Unit 9 so far but my opinion is S tier, much needed review of the complicated early topics and adds in super fun concepts with satisfying conclusions, easily some of the most fun I’ve had doing math.
I have an a in algebra 2 should I do precalc and skip ab
Very good video, keep up the work Mahad.
yesss i loved ap chemistry!! passed the class with a 97 and it was literally my favorite class in all of high school (ap lit and ap psych are also in my top 3)
I passed w a 77

Thanks Mahad!
4 units into AP Chem, its not as bad as everybody says it is, and im passing with a 92, if your good at math then you'll be fine
you're only 4 units in? we just finished unit 7
well we started in January, they removed year-long ap classes at my school@@crazycrafts3414
4 units I’m in unit 8 now 😂
I scored a 62/70 on the December Acs
@@RedneckJesus88 I started in january
I’m currently taking calc ab and it’s pretty good but it’s alright at times. It’s just that if I don’t practice the old stuff we’d learned, I end up forgetting it. I’m going to go back and review what we did so I can get a 3 or 4.
I’m doing the exact same thing you did with lit. Senior year, taking it as a credit and out of curiosity after lang and its been a nightmare with all of the poetry and old literature. I was hoping for at least SOME more modern works but it’s been exclusively older stuff and it’s been incredibly painful. I’m still passing with an A but I seriously regret choosing this course and I wish I just saved it for college or took a separate dual enrollment for the same credit.
On the topic of APUSH my experience was sullied by the exam. I’ve gotten 5’s on all of my other exams and History is kind of my go to subject to the point that I already knew almost all of the material before going in to the class my junior year. However, my exam grade was messed up and I never got my actual score back. It said I got a three and I was immediately suspicious considering that the test was kind of easy and so I appealed to no avail until I contacted my teacher who said she already tried the same thing and requested my documents, but college board outright refused to hand them over despite her already paying for the service. That along with the fact that I was able to get my essay questions back, which my teacher approved of, led me to believe I was either a victim of horrible essay grading (I wrote very detail heavy essays) or my scores were messed up. Regardless I’m having to take the test again this season to get my five and it’s adding an unnecessary amount of stress to my testing season, and has given me a personal grudge against college board. I still do love history though and I’m going to one of the best universities for public policy in my region, and I hope to also graduate with a masters and law degree soon afterwards.
at least with my experience in lit (I'm doing basically the same thing as you), our focus has been almost exclusively more modern works. Aside from Shakespeare, we don't venture earlier than the 1910s unless the students choose what they read. It's honestly been a refresher reading those more modern books since my English classes before lang had a weird focus on older literature, especially 18th and 19th century works.
@@strev9142 the most modern works I’ve read have been feminist and Harlem renaissance literature but like half of the previous semester was spent on Shakespeare, specifically king Lear, and I eventually had enough and just watched the play in its entirety. I think this is especially bad because the class focuses a lot on identifying the structure of the writing rather than any actual meaning or themes within the writing. I could understand this in AP Lang, because that’s specifically meant to teach the English language and all of its conventions and tools, but AP literature, at least to me, should be about the literature and it’s meaning more than just saying “that’s anaphora” or “that’s alliteration”. It doesn’t really help me understand the meaning of the text better and I find a lot of the multiple choice questions in this regard painful because they are almost all also focuses on literary devices and not the actual work itself. It may just be a personal complaint but I find the prevalence of literary devices a tad overbearing in the class when it’s supposed to be about stories, poems, and understanding literature beyond just what they use.
@@motivationallizard6644 I totally get you. When I read or consume media of any kind, I'm searching for meanings not devices. And honestly, if we had focused on Shakespeare, I probably would have switched out of the class, so I applaud you for sticking with it through now. And gl on the test in May.
Brooooooo, Gohar should rank his classes
I love history! And bunch of other stuff!!!
The teachers that leave the lights off are always the best
Why am I watching this? I'm not taking anymore APs? But its Mahad....
I hated APUSH first semester but it’s lowk my favorite class rn. Also AP Psych is super fun, and Lang is so work heavy but is rlly helpful. I’m taking Gov, Bio, and Stats next year so wish me luck
Holy cow!!!!You are a beast..damn!!!!!
Hey Mahad! I love your videos! Can you please tell me what math courses you took year by year?
Geometry --> Algebra II --> Pre-Calc --> AP Calc + Stats
@mahadthementor thanks!
Yo that TS Elliott quote is my email footer 😂
PLEASE MAKE ONE WITH ALL THE APS
I took calc ab last year, I loved that class, my favorite class I’ve taken. So I took bc this year, no longer as chill and fun as I remember calc being.
What did u get on the ap exam? I think it’s manageable to get a 4 but I have to just work on a lot of practice problems for most topics.
Also, wouldn’t it have been easier if not better to take some of these classes during the summer at a JC while you were still in high school?
AP Econ in D tier is absolutely insane but thats prop because I took it in person and my teacher is an absolute G is so
i was a B/C average student and i decided to take AP chem as my first AP in my junior year. Im now planning to major in chem and im expecting to pass the AP exam with a 4 or higher. The class genuinely changed my whole lifestyle for the better :)
Haha, I doubt you'll stick with majoring in chem once you've finished your second year of college. You should get literally a 5 on the first semester of chem , ACS score of at least a 50/70 if you plan on heading for chem. Don't waste you're time with it if you don't get that.
@@magicagrnub620you don’t have to be amazingly talented at the subject in high school to major in it lol. A lot of relatively successful people in fields like CS learned coding at 18 in an intro to coding class first semester of college and some of these guys are making 6 figures
@@magicagrnub620Hmmmm way to shoot someone down. I think you should focus on yourself.
@@Bill0righ1s Life isn't supposed to be filled with wonders. I'd rather inform them ahead of time, rather than them wasting their time on something useless to them. Chem isn't the easiest of majors , & circumstances for that will further worsen if math & general common sense is lacking. As long as those b's & c's weren't linked to any stem course , then he should be more or less fine. I'd suggest you to start opening your mind bud , college is on a different calibre than that of hs. So I think it'll be the same for other colleges. Not too certain , but Princeton is a trip.
@@magicagrnub620 Ahhhh, to be honest my mind skipped over the B/C average. My mistake, i shouldnt have come at you like that. Its just a negative world you know ? With a B/C average i do suppose he should expect a 2 max, and i agree with the rest of the things you said. Im a junior, taking 4 AP classes, and next year im taking 6 more. I dont know a whole lot to be frank, its my first year of AP.
about to take my last three tests next week (calc bc and physics c), and by then I'll be up to 14 APs!
How does your school allow so many so classes. My school does ap physics c, ap calculus bc and ap chemistry, but not ap philosophy and euro. And we can’t take more than 2 science courses each year plus a 6 or 7 period schedule which is hard to get
I just wrote down everything that was on the ppt slides for APUSH. The slides cover everything and all the tests we had were open note. Basically had a full encyclopedia at my disposal.
Would you recommend APUSH to a sophomore? I didn’t take any ap classes freshman year and I need something challenging
PLEASE rank all 40. Im a sophomore rn so it will be nice to know how difficult each one is
Some really good APs not on this list are AP Seminar, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics C. Seminar and AP1 were insanely chill and APC is actually very valuable even though it's quite quite hard because it requires strong calculus knowledge.
Fr
I would also agree with ap chem in S tier. our labs weren't that extensive though our teacher gave like a really complicated worksheet that even the kids who got 1st in the olympiad didnt do. the nostalgia and the experience i had was cool though. our teacher never teached though it was 100% self studying lol
Ok difficult decision I can take research, Ab, but idk to pick either between Afro or gov and also I have an option to pick lang but I’m not sure I don’t want to major in somewhere literary based but I’m not sure if it’s worth the help like mohad said
I really enjoyed this, make more long term videos!
what kind of paper do you use for the coloured tier papers?
w video, u should make more long form content
You don't have to apologize if it is irrelevant! It just makes the video even more interesting!
Did you do dual enrollment?
this was a great video! im curious, what did you get on all of these ap tests?
6
Btw he went to Harvard
this guy is HILARIOUS
APES was easily the best AP class class I took. And it's not because I was part of the 8% who got a 5 or that I watched videos about one of the FRQs.
jealous i got a 4 😢
Took both AP Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Genuinely surprised that AP-Economics exists
how hard is AP economics if you’re not good at math? my friend with dyscalculia wants to take it but isn’t sure
Please rank all 40 AP’s please!!! It be a big helper!! 😁😅
What order did you take these classes? Freshman to Senior.
Like half of the Walnut kids taking APUSH in our sophomore year.
I need to know what camera you’re using
I took all the same ones except I took physics instead of apes and I took precal instead of cal. My rankings are pretty similar psych is the absolute best. I would put econ and gov in s tier though because my teacher for those was amazing
I definitely didn't get into any Harvard tier schools though so props to you for that
@@Mya.Miller what did you get into
I got into baylor, a&m, I'm on the waitlist for Trinity, and I'm waiting to hear back from Rice, and I was given guaranteed sophomore transfer admission to UT Austin through a local school
Would you reccomend APUSH or AP euro to a sophomore? I personally like history and English related classes a lot but not sure wich one would be better… I really want something more challenging this year.
I love your editing style and script so much 😂
👊 pound it
@@mahadthementor 👊
@@mahadthementor what is your ethnicity
dude i thought u were gohar until the harvard bit 😂
There is no doubt your sense of humor got you into Harvard
You should make the Vidoe of ranking the 40 aps
I relate with everything he said about AP european history, just because Napoleon was short, doesn't mean he can't be one of the best generals in history.
This guy is handsome, and so smart too...
But a 4 on bio, man thats embarrassing, still, he's Mahad so it's cool
Honestly Im in 8th grade at the moment- and i already choosed my classes for my freshman year-
But i honestly really wanna figure out my plan for during highschool and after highschool but the big thing-
Im between 2 careers..and idk what to choose- could anyone help me decide-?
First one is: Big Cat Keeper, but you have to be a zookeeper and if you are a zookeeper, you are gonna have to talk to visitors about the animals and stuff and im not a big talker and im really awkward in conversations- but This is my number 1, I really like big cats!
Number 2: Dentist, I really only like this one because it seems satisfying to scrape off the gunk and stuff on people’s teeth tbh- but im not even sure if I would enjoy it-
Definitely the first one if your more passionate about it
What is APUSH? How many units did you test out of? Did you do these solely to get into Harvard, or was there another reason?
is it good to take tat for clg?
I am a rising senior and would be a premed in college so I have to do AP Biology and AP Chemistry in the same year. But I am really really scared. Would you advise me taking them together? Other AP I am taking is AP Gov
Hey; do you have any tips on how to get into MIT like you did?
what was ur score on the AP chem test
APUSH and AP Bio as a Sophomore at my school
Did take GBBE?
I honestly still dunno how I winged both the APES and AP stats exam and got a 3 in both of them
Ap stats probably has that high fail rate due to how specific the frqs point requirements are compared to literally any other ap
Great
I wish you took World. Taking it is this year.
As a student taking AP chem at the moment, you have ruined my day.
Did you also took AP Human Geography plus one thing I want to point out is why can’t AP give you college credits for passing the class. That pissed me off since I took that class for nothing that class is easy while the exam was very hard
Bro, AP Chem is so accurate. It's hard as balls, but the nostalgia and teacher make it an easy S tier.
Let me just say for AP chem I live in England and we do cells and cathodes etc in 'seventh grade'
Bruh my Ap lang teacher just didn’t talk about anything on the exam and spent the whole year yapping about sentence structure and paraphrasing
You should also put your scores in these exams
The ap gov teacher of my school was also a cross country coach 🤨
what about ap physics
I took AP Chem and I got the best teacher ever. W for putting in S even though it is quite the grind.
I’m gonna be a sophomore and not sure if I should take it. I’m not that great at math…
What’s up, I need help. I’m going to be a junior next year and I’m stuck between what ap science to take. I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. The school offers ap bio, chem, physics, and environmental. I took bio freshman year and am currently taking chem and have gotten A’s in both. I’ll take any recommendations please
i feel like it'd depend on your other classes. will you be taking other aps/honors classes or doing many extracurriculars junior year? if you feel like your schedule next year is already gonna be pretty busy, then i'd probably take apes.
what ap physics is this btw? physics c is wayy more challenging and covers more material than physics 1. physics c is also calculus based. if your schedule isn't super busy and you think you can handle it, i would suggest you take physics.
do you have any colleges in mind that your aiming for? i would assume they'd look more favorably on physics since it's more difficult. i know you also don't have an idea of what you'd like to do as an adult, but physics would be useful in the engineering dept.
if you just want a suggestion, no other yap, then i'd take physics.
@@sharttyyyyy thank you. My school offers 1 and C, but i have no intention of taking C next year, but if i take 1 i may take C senior year. The other classes i take next year are ap precalc, spanish, apush, ap research, ap lang, and a religion class. As for extracurriculars i wont be too busy, im really open to anything.
@ernandez4653 yea i think physics would be a good choice since, again, you can always take apes next year if you end up disliking physics
@@sharttyyyyy thank you so much man. And you don’t think I should take bio or chem?
@@lucashernandez4653 i think those are also good options but its hard to give an opinion w/o knowing what you'd do in the future.
would you be interested working in the engineering part of stem? and how did you like chemistry & biology?
HUGE W 😂
im just going into high school but I don’t think we can take any AP’s in ninth so I don’t know why im watching this lmfao
bro the titration lab is on point, so annoying XD
5:04 thats... verbatim how i described ap lang questions to my friends. lmao
So take it later in your high school career
My smartass school where everybody take APUSH sophomore year which I will to
just got accepted
Yeaaaa make the ranking 40 APs
plz rank all the ap classes
I wanna see all 40
Shouls international students take APUSH and AP Gov?
Great video by the way :)
if u want, but APUSH might be difficult if you haven't taken previous US history courses. It's like AP World but much more specific and the grading for DBQs and LEQs is way harder. AP Gov is eassyyy though - especially if ur familiar with US politics
Taking AP Chem next year🙏
You didn’t take AP world?
your school didnt offer physics?
nice
Damn you took none of the physics APs?
You didn’t take AP Physics?
can someone pls help me decide between stats and chem for my 4th ap junior yr?? im so torn, i expect to have an easier time during stats or maybe even apes but i am kinda enjoying stoichiometry rn in honors chem
if you have a passion for chem and want to go into the sciences, i’d totally recommend ap chem!! it can be challenging at times, especially during the second semester, however, taking the class is overall really rewarding and (imo) more impressive than ap stats
@@chioji9540 TYTY i was leaning towards ap chem ig im just rlly worried about possibly dropping my gpa if it’s too rigorous for me, as well as it being the first yr my school offers the class so i don’t know what to expect manageability wise
@@gamalrawan in terms of keeping up with the class, I'd 100% recommend consistently watching the ap daily videos on ap classroom and doing practice tests! and as simple as it may sound, reading the textbook and using Quizlets (made by yourself and other people) will definitely be a great help!
@@chioji9540 thank u so much for ur replies! turns out, the chem teacher is dropping ap chem next yr. something to do with the schools budget. a little part of me is a relieved bc now i won’t have to be stuck choosing between the two.
@@gamalrawan ahhh that's a bummer! good luck with ap stats though!!
Why does he look like Professor Zach Murphy(Ninja Nerd)?
I took AP physics as a freshman and I hate it so much (I am currently a freshman). I got a B every marking period sadly.
bruh are you good at math? Ap physics in first year must suck I wasnt even trying until sophmore year at all because I didnt care
@@dominusdone5023 I am decently good at math (2 years ahead). I was hoping to be valedictorian, but after taking that class I don’t think I have a chance. It is a pain and I don’t recommend this class for freshman (or anyone at all tbh). I am in all the highest courses offered to me and a doing the same next year. I want to go to Johns Hopkins university. I want to be a neurologist therefore I need good grades and high courses. Still don’t recommend though lol. I am ending out this marking period with an 89%. I am excited for next year because I am in AP Chem instead. A lot easier than physics.
@@ItsBrooke. is ap physics really that hard? I took acc physics got a 95 and above and rn 97 because I wasn’t allowed to and now I’m going to junior year taking ap physics so now you just make it sound scary as heck I’m taking both ap physics and ap chem in the same year
@@dominusdone5023 it’s hard as a freshman with a bad teacher. Our last test had a class average of 3/27. It’s the hardest class I think I have ever taken. Especially because I have severe ADD and ADHD. It’s apparently the hardest class to pass at my school. As a freshman that’s really high in math people pay me to help with their homework lol. I am hoping to get an A the last marking period. As a freshman it’s terrifying, but idk about the other grades. It makes me want to die. It may be because of the fact I am a freshman but idk. Hopefully Chem Honors is easier. My school only has Chem honors and normal Chem. I am taking 2 AP classes next year (the one ones available to me). I am not naturally smart I really have to work for it. I study about 4 hours each day and play 3 sports. I am also in 4 clubs. I don’t have a life lol.
@@dominusdone5023what’s acc?
APES was amazing for me
what about AP CS A?
