Advice for Next Year's Schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Okay fellow CCers, I need some advice.</p>

<p>Currently I am enrolled in AP Chemistry and AP U.S. History. I am confronted with the decision of taking AP Calculus (BC, The higher one of the two offered), AP English, and possibly AP Physics.
Now, the problem is that I'm not entirely sure if it is a "great" idea to take AP Physics in addition to these other two, which I'll definitely be enrolling in. Our school only offers 7/8 AP courses and we are on the block schedule system (4 Classes-a-day). My goal for college is to go to Princeton, any recomendations if I should take AP Physics or not? (Due to the amount of workload that I am going to have already.)</p>

<p>I am taking ap calc, ap physics, ap english lit, ap govt, and ap studio art. On track for straight a’s and maybe a b in physics… Not too hard. Most kids at my school have similar course loads. </p>

<p>How can you take calc bc without the background in calc ab? I thought it was a sequence?</p>

<p>^^ If you’re a mathy person, take physics; it’ll go great with the calc. You’ll be able to apply the stuff you learn in calc immediately.</p>

<p>^ AB’s material is a subset of BC’s.</p>

<p>Our school’s system is really strange. I’m in AP Chem and I do not have any chemistry background at all. Due to the block system, we have four courses a day, not the regular 7/8.</p>

<p>As a side note, I want to go into law/government.</p>

6

<p>^ That’s irrelevant. Physics has nothing to do with that.</p>

<p>If you really want to do that, maybe double up in history? or take economics?</p>
