AGHH!! overwhelmed!!

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I need lots of help on surviving this year! I am a junior and am taking this year:</p>

<p>AP Psychology
AP Physics
AP Calculus AB
AP US History
AP Statistics
Honors English
Spanish 3</p>

<p>I have a roughly 4.5 GPA, all As, and took AP Chem last yr and got a 4. </p>

<p>also, i am student government class president, member of A team academic decathlon, mathletes, national honors society. Most importantly, I am very dedicated to piano (played for 10 years) and am on full scholarship at local college music program, which takes approx 6 hrs a week. I also volunteer for senior community 3-6 hrs a week. I am planning to apply to Stanford ,Harvard, Princeton, UPenn.</p>

<p>Please help me on how to manage my very busy schedule! Also, any advice/tips on those AP classes???? any personal experiences? Thank you!!! This is going to be a very stressful year for me, like many other juniors out there.</p>

<p>I've heard AP US History and AP Physics so maybe consider dropping them?</p>

3

<p>agh but am already taking it!<br>
i am afraid the only thing i can drop right now is ap stats.
and i'm really interested in physics.</p>

Haha, I can see that from your nickname :) Planning on majoring in it?
Anyway, you can drop anything later so just work your butt off :)</p>

<p>Physics B or Physics C?</p>

<p>Physics B is definitely doable, not much harder then a normal honors class, just more material and faster.</p>

<p>Physics C is really difficult. Especailly when you begin E&M. Nothing like manipulating integrals and etc.</p>

6

<p>WOWZIE
that's a lot
but, remember AP classes are tough BUT YOU ARE TOUGHER!
whoo Hahaha
If you do anything, just make sure you manage your time well. Get the relatively easy assignments out of the way first and then spend your time on the harder ones. Good luck though, I'm sure you'll do great. =]</p>

<p>haha thanks!!!!</p>

<p>Unite all physics lovers! Someone make a Physics thread in the Café.
And may your motion be perpetual. ;)</p>

9

<p>yes. physics is AWESOME!</p>

<p>any specific type of physics that especially interest u?</p>

10

<p>Astrophysics! Wo0t! </p>

<p>*and *Chaos Theory... ^_^</p>

11

<p>Physics for the life! Quantum mechanics/molecular dynamics/molecular resonance force microscopy over here.</p>

Alright Chaos, your initiative -- your responsibility :D</p>

12

<p>Drop AP Stats if you feel overwhelmed.</p>

13

<p>astrophysics sounds so cool! i can't wait to learn all about it and more in depth physics as the year goes on. have u taken ap physics yet?</p>

14

<p>Yeah I'm going medical for life. My work will help decide a person's fate, that's more important than Physics. A Life is inreplaceable thus, making it valuable beyond anything.</p>

15

<p>what are the best ap books for these subjects????</p>

16

<p>Nope, I haven't even taken Physics yet ^_^
I'm self-studying Physics B, if that counts.</p>

<p>Aah, I'll get around to it. I suggest you make it chipset, you are much more experience than I.</p>

17

<p>is princeton review and barrons good? i got PR for physics, calc, stats, and us history and got barrons for psychology.</p>

18

<p>is there a difference between physics b and c? my school only has one ap physics course and i have no idea which one it is!</p>

Oh, I couldn't even think about taking so much responsibility as being creator of physics thread on my humble person. ChaosTheory, it's your fate to be the One.

I think Phys. C is calculus based.</p>

20

<p>Yes, Physics B. requires Algebra II with knowledge of basic trig. functions. Physics C is usually taken after AB Calculus, with knowledge of derivates, etc.,</p>

<p>So it shall be, mr_chipset, so it shall be!
EDIT: No, not really. :p</p>
