ADVICE FOR FRIEND

hello! I have a friend who is taking the following courses:

AP CALC AB
H PHYSICS
H US HISTORY
ENGLISH (dropped Honors)
FRENCH 2

is this a rigorous schedule?

For which grade? How does this schedule compare to the top students in the HS?

11th

My highschool is competitive

Not that competitive. I would expect to see at least 3-5 AP course 11th grade unless the school offers few AP classes.

Yea it all depends on the school.

Our school is a very competitive school in our state, but our top students only take 1 AP 11th grade.

They don’t offer many, and we need 2 semesters of PE, and 8 semesters of religion courses. Therefore, it’s not easy to take a lot of AP’s, but we still have a competitive school.

For example, I took a regular english course 11th grade, but still got a 5 on the AP language and composition test.

So if that’s all that the school offers, then yes it is rigorous. But if you can take 4 AP’d junior year, it’s obviously not.
