5 AP's as a junior?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I've decided to take 5 AP's as a junior and whoever I tell that to seems to discourage me and say that you are Going to kill yourself and its too stressful for you. I'm sure people have take 5 APs and have been successful so can I please have some tips on how to manage these classes? Im going to take chem, us history, language, stats and calc AB.</p>

<p>Second question: do I need precalculus to succeed in calc AB? What if I go straight from trig to calc AB? I know it will be hard but I'm going to take precalculus over the summer. How hard should I expect next year to be? As a sophomore I took two APs - psychology and world history. Is this a bad decision? HELP!

<p>Essentially, yes. At my school you wouldn’t even be accepted into AP Calculus AB if you took trigonometry the previous year. </p>

<p>Good. </p>

<p>As for your actual question, the schedule will of course be rigorous and at times exhaustive, but if you put a lot of dedication and time into those classes, you should be fine. There have been people who have taken almost 20 APs during high school and they did fine.</p>
