5 AP Classes! ANy advice???

<p>Ok, so Junior year I plan on taking...</p>

<p>Pre-Calculus Honors</p>

<p>AP Language and Composition</p>

<p>AP American History</p>

<p>AP Chemistry</p>

<p>AP French Language</p>

<p>AP Physics B</p>

<p>Anatomy and Physiology Honors</p>

<p>Im very organized and really wanna go to Brown or Harvard and those top schools
I know it doalbe! Any advise???</p>

<p>Firstly, spell ‘doable’ and ‘advice’ correctly.
Secondly, focus on time management. Even if these AP classes end up being easy, you still need to block out your time to study for all of those exams when they come in May.
Thirdly, don’t fall behind in your non-AP classes. They count as well.
Fourthly, you may need to reach for a more specific goal than “those top schools.”
Fifthly, good luck!</p>

<p>Sixthly, this seems like a crappy attempt to brag about your classes.
On a sarcastic note, doalbe is actually romanian for I’m so *<strong><em>ed, I can’t do this *</em></strong>.</p>

<p>^ hahhaha</p>

<p>Physics AND USH AND Chemistry? Just say goodbye to your social life. If it was Physics C I would actually pray for you.</p>

<p>lol ladyjacket what do you expect, its JUNIOR YEAR…the most important year</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The OP can barely spell. Quality v. quantity.</p>

<p>That’s true, unless he wants to do something science-related which I’m guessing is something related to engineering.</p>

<p>APUSH is hands down the most time consuming. If I were him/her and I wanted to major in a science then I would drop APUSH and find another AP class that correlates with my interests.</p>

<p>Should I just stick to honors Physics?</p>

<p>Take what you can handle. It’s just my personal preference.</p>

<p>AP U.S. History = Staying up until 2 in the morning on a Tuesday night looking up definitions in a book, then memorizing them before school starts the next morning. Not to mention the stress of endless DBQs which always feel like they are going to be harder than they actually are but which you really can’t study for much. I hope your school doesn’t force you to participate in NHD (mine did) or you will have the Damocles’ Sword of a ten-fifteen page paper hanging over your head all of second quarter and most of third. </p>

<p>AP Lang & Comp: Learn how to knock out a four page essay in one or two hours. Don’t procrastinate at all - in fact just flick the wireless switch on your computer off the night you want to write it. Don’t be me and make a two hour paper take six hours.</p>

<p>AP Chemistry - Never took it. I hear it’s really hard though.</p>

<p>AP French - If anything similar to AP Spanish, shouldn’t be that hard. A lot more supplemental stuff and trying to become more fluent than actual work/memorization stuff. That is, assuming you already are pretty good at French and haven’t forgotten it all/weren’t really paying attention the last three years.</p>

<p>AP Physics B - I am in AP Physics C, not sure what B is. But a lot of confusing stuff, a lot of long problems that you won’t understand how to start. The general course of a tough physics problem is 1: Figuring out what’s going on 2: Setting up the problem and 3: Doing the calculus/Solving to get to the right answer. In my school we have a lot of really hard stuff - our teacher likes us to do a lot of proofs i.e. he’ll give us a diagram and say prove that the force on x object equals this really long formula. We also have a really tough book and do about 1/3rd of the problems in each chapter. I have heard other schools have it a lot easier though. At any rate, my best advice is if B is Mechanics first semester and E&M second, get all the points you can in Mechanics because the first time you go through E&M you will fail half the tests because it is so confusing. </p>

<p>Best of luck and if you can’t do well this year chances are you wouldn’t have done well at HYPSM anyway since that’s just more of the same for four years…</p>

<p>How are you to know this? Have you been to all of this schools? Please don’t make gross generalizations.</p>
