6 Tough AP's Junior year?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>Hi guys!
I'm from a school w/ a very tough curriculum. Mostly A's.</p>

<p>I've taken 1 AP as freshman, and 4 AP as sophomore. (APHG, AP biology, ap statistics, ap world history, ap calculus AB)</p>

<p>I've only taken one semester of physics and chem in my 9th grade year, and both of these were double-paced (one year curriculum finished in 1 semester). I got a 94~95 in chem, and a 84 in physics. YES, AN 84. :( Physics has never come easily for me.. and in my math classes, I'm not the star student, but still pulling off A's.</p>

<p>Now schedule selection time has come again for my junior year~
And I was thinking EITHER</p>

<p>Choice 1: Multivariable Calculus II, AP Us hist, AP Gov't/Pol, AP Lang, AP Psychology, AP Environmental science, Spanish 3, and AP Physics B.
OR
Choice 2: Multivariable Calc II, AP us hist, AP gov/pol, AP lang, AP environmental OR AP psych, Spanish 3, and AP Physics C!</p>

<p>If i want choice 2, i have to take out either AP environmental or AP Psych, as AP physics C is a tougher course. I know I'm not that good in physics, but AP chem is known to be harder in my school, so I want to take physics. But I've heard Physics C is a lot harder than physics B, but is a better choice that colleges accept. Would i struggle in physics C with my physics & math knowledge as of now? I'm not that great at maths, and physics was a toughie for me. In my school, AP Psych and AP environmental are known to be not hard, but tedious in workload, while ap physics B is easier than physics C. Which choice should I take (1 or 2)? And if i take choice 2, should i take AP environmental (the more tedious one IMO) or AP psych (no clue on this one)?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I feel you as my school is the hardest in the state. Physics C is 10x harder than B. so i really don’t understand what you are asking. Are you debatng between B and C and Enviro and Psych. Enviro and Psych are comparable in difficulty. take the one you are more interested in. Physics B is kinda like regular physics and Physics C is different and much harder. It seems that you would not do your best in either as you have 2 hard coures. IDK what to say</p>

<p>^ I don’t think so. Definitely not “10x” harder. Physics C: Mechanics is pretty easy and is really an extension of mechanics in Physics B. Physics C: E&m is definitely harder though.</p>

<p>Do it. It’s good preparation for college ^_^</p>

<p>Physics C is easier if you have a strong grasp of calculus.</p>

<p>Physics B is broad and shallow while C is narrow and very concentrated. </p>

<p>AP Gov’t/Pol, AP Lang, AP Psychology, AP Environmental science : All of these are the “joke” AP’s. Psych is consistently rated the easiest. If you can get a 700+ on the SAT reading section, you can get a 4/5 in Lang without ever taking the course. And Env. Sci, and Gov’t/Pol aren’t even real, it does not even make sense that those classes are of an AP level.</p>
