5 APs excessive?

<p>I posted this in HSL, but I'd like to get opinions here as well. I only have room for 1 AP this year, APUSH. I am thinking about doing 5 AP classes next year. Do you think these classes will be excessive? Too much of a workload? I am quite the procrastinator, but I won't be able to do that next year. I have a 3.9 right now. None of our AP classes are considered "joke" APs, all the teachers are very passionate about their class, so they will all have a degree of difficulty. I would be interested in an international relations degree, and some sort of research job that possibly deals with statistics and demographics, or maybe a foreign policy analysis job. I don't know. I'm not sure if I'll think the same in the future. I think all of these classes will be applicable to international relations in some way.</p>

<p>AP English- A lot of reading and a fairly strict teacher, it is just AP English, no comp or lit. A tough teacher to get an A with.</p>

<p>AP Stats- My math teacher wants me to take this. Most students say it is easy, but there is one teacher who is excellent, and one who is supposedly incompetent. Some students who get the incompetent teacher say they are completely lost and often times end up with C grades.</p>

<p>AP US Government- This will be a new class next year. It will be a full year. The teacher is hard, but he is my favorite teacher I've had. He is unconventional, he does his own thing, so that could be good or bad for an AP class. I have no idea what to expect.</p>

<p>AP Psych- Two teachers, one who has been teaching the class for 30 years, and an easy one. It is easy to get an A because there is a lot of extra credit, but there are 3 tests and they are hard. A lot of reading and memorization.</p>

<p>AP Euro- The teacher has an incredible knowledge of history, but he tends to waste class time lecturing on unrelated topics lol. Quite a bit of reading and tough tests. This will most likely be my hardest AP.</p>

<p>These aren't the most difficult AP classes, but for a non-extraordinary student like me, I am not sure if it will be too much. I don't think so, but you never know.</p>

<p>not excessive at all gl;hf</p>

<p>I’d say go for it!</p>

<p>Just make sure you put the necessary time into it! Most of the AP students in my school take 4/5 APs, so it’s possible!</p>
