<p>Tell your dean all of this. Trust me, you have plenty of time. It all depends on your own time management skillz, however.</p>
<p>Lol last year I always had around 4 hours of free time xD</p>
<p>You won’t get that much homework from 3 APs. You could get to bed before 11 everyday if you want. However, certain days with huge projects and all the tests fall on the same day will be tough. It’ll prep you for junior year. Overall, you’ll be fine. Srsly.</p>
<p>AP courses have never been time consuming to me. At least at my school, AP classes go down like this</p>
<p>Teacher assigns homework and tell you it’s due on the test date. Test date is usually a week away. Within that week, you can spend half an hour - two hours to work on the homework and study until the actual test date orrrrr</p>
<p>save everything and cram the night before the test. I ALWAYS have free time, except on cram night.</p>
<p>Oh okay that’s good then. I guess you will be fine taking them. But if you want to be more cautious, test out this year and find your grounds without AP Comp Sci, which you can easily fulfill in the upcoming years. I believe, on a side note, that you should be wary about club sports, which can suck a lot of your time.</p>
<p>Gah my Dean was in a meeting so I gave the secretary person a note for him. I guess I’ll talk to him monday. School starts on September 5th for me though :)</p>
<p>AP Courses at my school are a joke.</p>
<p>APs at my school are really hard! haha only the smartest kids in school tend to take them (aside from bio, a lot of people take bio XD)</p>
<p>i know with my AP US History class, we had to read a whole chapter per night of the American Pageant textbook (which to me, was a lot, considering i’m an average reader and the text got kind of dense at times), had a HARD multiple choice quiz every class or two (i would tend to score in the 70-90% area, depending on the material), a test approximately every other week with DBQs/practice free-responses thrown in every two weeks or so, lots of in-class discussion, and decently-sized assignments with out of class readings as well.</p>
<p>idk, maybe it depends on the school. but we were graded harshly and had to study really hard to do well in the class. it ultimately felt like a college course! the work was hard, but i loved the class and doing well on the exam was rewarding. i’m not saying your courses aren’t hard, i just feel like it’s so different wherever you go haha.</p>
<p>I would say absolutely do not do it if you were going to my school. But then again, you school is probably a lot easier if they are letting yuo take those classes in 10th grade, so it might be doable. </p>
<p>APUSH in my school was very difficult. People with B’s and C’s in the class coudl easily end up getting 5s on the AP test. But the teacher was very demanding, gave ridiculously hard tests, and made them struggle. But the kids learned the material inside out, and the AP test was a joke. If you got a B+ (even if you got it without reading the chapters), i would say dont take it. but thats just me</p>
<p>AP bio is easy. period. Its just a lot of reading, but i didnt study as much as i ought to have and i still got a really high B. And i took it over summer too…which was a little harder than i think it would be at school…just cause its so much material. If you got an A in honors bio, go for it.</p>
<p>I personally wouldnt do these two and sports. I did the exact same sports last year (varsity), and i felt terrible because i wasnt able to put in 100% effort into either academics or sports. I ended up putting more like 60% into both and doing mediocre in both. </p>
<p>But i mean, it all really depends on how easy the classes are at your school. Maybe you oculd try and look into ap test scores vs grades? because i know at my school, the AP test is like a joke compared to class…</p>
<p>I have to self-study for APUSH… maybe IB HOA HL will be good.</p>
<p>I think my classes are easy as **** then.</p>
<p>The people that got B/B+/A- all got 4’s.</p>
<p>But the thing is, The AP Bio teachers have never gotten a 5… ;(
And they take the test with the students every year…</p>
<p>^That’s really pathetic… teachers getting 4s.</p>
<p>That means I can hopefully learn ahead of the class.</p>
