uni level lab access

So my sophomore year is starting next week, and I have imo a pretty good idea, but I would need lab access to execute it. However, I have struggled to find any labs that can help me, and I really doubt that a professor would take time out of their day to run my experiment. Do you guys have any advice?

APES vs APAAS

I'm thinking of taking one of either APES or APAAS in junior year, then taking the other in senior year. The other classes I have in junior year are DE math, APUSH, AP Lang, AP macro and micro, and both Physics Cs. In senior year, I plan to take the easy filler APs. Would APES or APAAS fit better into my junior year?

Khan Academy reading practice questions

How helpful is the Khan Academy Reading SAT course? I'm almost done with it, and I'm taking the August SAT. I started prepping when the school year ended, since my English was trash, but are the advanced practice questions around the same difficulty as the ones on the test?

thoughts on initio rehab?

I just picked up initio rehab today, and in the store, I thought it was great. However, now that I've had it on skin for the day, I'm starting to realize that it smells really similar to spicebomb extreme. Does anyone else feel this way? What are some noticeable differences between the two?

how do i make a mats project if i don't have access to a lab

So I'm a rising sophomore in central PA, and a Duke prof has agreed to mentor me. I had this pretty unique idea with MXenes, and was planning to go to his lab to do it. However, he just got back to me and said I wouldn't be able to go into his lab, but he is still willing to work with me remotely. How am I supposed to do the project now? Is it ok if I ask them to run the project and send me the data?

I might have managed to get a 1 in both aphg and csp

if anybody is wondering how ts is possible: i am a fresh man. my csp teacher forgot to teach us the course content and only did big idea 2 for the entire school year. I also played rocket league on my chromebook and brawl stars the entire class period every day. I only managed to finish 14 mcqs out of the 70 in 2 hours. For human geo, i started crying in the middle of the frqs because i didn't know what a soybean was, and i only answered one identify, and got it wrong. I also "forgot" to study for both exams. am i fried? is there still hope for both 5s?
