<p>Currently I have 4 AP's in school. English Lit 4 AP (I'm not great at english. usually get B's in my class), Physics C (mechanics and E&M), Chem AP, and Calc BC AP.</p>
<p>My classes are not overloading me most of the time which provides me time to study for extra AP tests because I don't play a sport and I'm in the college I'm going to already.</p>
<p>So my question to you is, where do I draw the line?
I am taking psychology, macro, and micro as extra AP tests. Should I stop there or dare I add another?</p>
<p>I need to get at least 4's and 5's on all of my tests otherwise they will be all for naught. I really really really want to do well because my school accepts the tests as credit.</p>
<p>I am already almost done with psychology and creating notes for the numerous chapters. I have about 2 months before it's 1 month before my AP's and I will have to start reviewing all of my subjects.</p>
<p>So, either take on Comp Sci AP or Statistics AP, or just have a more thorough review for my tests. (Both I am interested in learning about just as I am with psych, macro, and micro)</p>
<p>(To keep things in proper perspective, I spend a sensible 2 hours on weekdays studying for AP's. Weekends it could be longer. There will also be times when I can't study because of factors like upcoming tests.)</p>
<p>Considering you are taking four classes in an entire year, it is nothing compared to college. In college, you will do the equivalent of 5 AP classes per semester.</p>
<p>That sounds like a lot to me. College is a lot different than high school. For starters, your entire day from 8-3 is not spent in one building. You may be taking more “AP Level” classes each semester, but you have a lot more control over your schedule and you seem to be very good at time management already.<br>
My brother took a lot of really hard classes in high school and I just did not want to be that stressed out all the time. (We have very different personalities!) If it does not cause you stress and there is nothing else you would rather be doing, then why not?</p>
<p>I think I’m going to see how far I get in macro and micro before I look into stat. I do want to do well on all of my tests but retain some sort of social life haha.</p>
<p>I do well in my classes, but I am not ambitious enough to take on all of that extra work. But, everyone is different. I am thinking about taking some dual enrollment classes next year, but I don’t really care about getting college credit while I am in high school.<br>
My brother took both micro and macro while he was in the 8th grade. He is an econ whiz. That is what he is studying in college now.</p>
