It was unfortunately a pretty “meh” week for me on KA. I made it through the second unit of CS, Designing Algorithms with Conditionals, which was simple since I only had one thing left to do, but then I only made it about halfway through the following unit, Unit 3, Simulating Phenomena with Loops. Not to make… Read More Week 352 – Computer Science Gets Harder: Variables, Loops, and a Reality Check

I’m happy to say that my second week studying CS was a productive one! I made it through a TON of videos, exercises, and challenges on KA but, to be fair, they were all pretty easy. I spent a lot of time this week watching the CS50 vids and reading Code, so in total I’m guessing… Read More Week 351 – A New Subject, 25–35 Hours of Learning, and a Fresh Start

I’m happy to say that my first week studying CS on KA was fairly successful! The first course I’m working through in CS is called Intro to Computer Science – Python, and in the first unit I made it through 11 videos, 8 articles, 3 exercises, and 4 Challenges. (Each unit is made up of… Read More Week 350 – Seven Years of Khan Academy: From Learning Math to Learning Anything

After 2,437 days of working through KA, I finally achieved my goal. 😭 I officially finished the Math: High School and College section of Khan Academy this past week by passing the Calculus BC Course Challenge. I ended up getting 100% on the Course Challenge which I was thrilled about, but I did use SymboLab and… Read More 🎉 Week 349 – Six Years, Eight Months, and Three Days: Goal Achieved!

I once again had another successful week on KA! I’m SO happy to say that I not only made it through the final unit test from Calculus AB this week, but also (somehow) managed to pass the Course Challenge on my first attempt, AND got 100% on it. 😳 Too be fair, I did double check the… Read More Week 348 – A Perfect 100% on Calculus AB, and the Final Challenge Begins

I had a decent good week on KA, although it could have been better. (But I guess I could always say that…) I made it through two unit tests in Calc. AB; one from the fifth unit, Applying Derivatives to Analyze Functions, and one from the seventh unit, Differential Equation. Neither were easy so I’m happy that… Read More Week 347 – Two Calculus Tests Down, One More to Go

This may have been one of the top 10 best weeks I’ve had on KA in the last 6.5 years. The bad news is I didn’t remember as much calculus as I thought I would coming back to Calculus AB which I was very disappointed about, but the silver lining is that as I reviewed… Read More Week 346 – 70 Pages of Notes, a Tough Course Challenge, and a Better Understanding

In the big picture I had a VERY good week on KA but it ended in a very disappointing way. 🫤 I’m SO happy to say that I not only got through the unit test for Unit 12, Inference for Categorical Data: Chi-Square, but I also made it through the AP College Statistics Course Challenge getting 28/30 questions… Read More Week 345 – A Statistics Milestone, Followed by a Calculus Reality Check

I had a bit of a “meh” week on KA. You might say that things went well “on paper” seeing as I made it through two unit tests, plus I’m guessing I studied for at least 5 hours (which is always my goal), but still think I could/should have gotten more done. I once again… Read More Week 344 – Two Statistics Tests Down, but Still Searching for Understanding

I had a good start to on KA this week but a bad finish. 👎🏼 I made it through one of the four remaining unit tests in AP College Statistics and probably should have made it through a second but unfortunately came up short. The second unit test I worked on was from the ninth unit, Sampling Distributions,… Read More Week 343 – One Statistics Test Down, and More Formulas to Learn
