<p>At my school, seniors are allowed to have 5 classes, which is typical of the average senior. A normal schedule is 6 periods. </p>
<p>I am more of an English-oriented person.</p>
<p>Here are my options as of right now but I am open to other suggestions:</p>
<p>A
1. AP Calculus
2. AP Gov/H Econ
3. AP Bio
4. AP Studio Art 2D
5. AP English Lit
6. Yearbook</p>
<p>B
1. AP Calculus
2. AP Gov/H Econ
3. AP Physics (B is what our class is I think)
4. AP Studio Art 2D
5. AP English Lit
6. Yearbook</p>
<p>C
1. AP Stats
2. AP Gov/H Econ
3. AP Physics
4. AP Studio Art 2D
5. AP English Lit
6. Yearbook</p>
<p>D
I would take Calculus over the summer at my community college and then only have five periods during the school year. This class would be four weeks long.
1. Yearbook
2. AP Gov/H Econ
3. AP Physics
4. AP Studio Art 2D
5. AP English Lit</p>
<p>Any insights or suggestions/advice are appreciated.</p>
<p>At my school it is just Calc. The class is mostly AB but she teaches BC to the students who want to learn it. It just goes down as AP Calc on my apps.</p>
<p>But actually, since you say you’re an English-oriented person, Bio might be better. It’s more reading and memorizing, as opposed to Physics’s math and conceptualization.</p>
<p>A or B for Calc. I’ve never taken Physics, so I can’t judge. However, I HATE Bio with a passion and AP Bio is the hardest class in our school, so I’d personally pick B, but I’d definitely do A/B and then pick which science you like better.</p>
<p>No, not at all. And actually, Bio will probably help you more. AP Physics B is an extremely annoying class (at least to me) and it actually only gives you credit for algebra-based physics which isn’t even offered at all schools, and would be a very low level physics class if you got credit… and wouldn’t serve as a prerequisite to anything. </p>
<p>AP Bio on the other hand is not any easy class but represents 2 semesters worth of courses any major, including math or science, might take.</p>
<p>I have 4 schools, but the only one that offers APs is online, so I really can’t give you hw estimates (AP-wise, I’ve taken/am currently taking: AP Art History, AP Physics B, AP Calculus BC, and de facto AP Spanish Language). </p>
<p>I think your schedule’s going to work out great, not too easy and not to hard. I mean, you are pretty much taking 7 college courses and 2-3 HS courses over 2 semesters. That’s completely respectable and you aren’t overloading yourself.</p>
<p>Hm. I starting to feel more unsure again. Most kids are taking physics that I know. But then again they have slightly less time commitments/ rigorous classes.</p>
<p>Unless you happen to be very interested in physics? Bio is harder at my school, only because of the teacher though. Not the material. A lot of people I’ve talked to said the AP Physics material is harder to grasp (with just a few exceptions)</p>
<p>Bio is more memorization. Physics is more about the concepts. At least that’s what I think. If you don’t really have a preference for either one, and you’re not really better at one or the other, just take the one your friends are in so they can help if you need and you’ll enjoy it more!</p>
<p>But yeah, I’m sure colleges won’t favor one over the other.</p>
<p>i clciked on this thread and looked away as i scrolled down to quick reply so i could honestly say that i replie dto it without even looking at a single word in it</p>
<p>Calc BC is not so much harder than AB as it is just the whole lot more material covered in BC. For example in my school calc BC covers all the ab Material in the first 6 weeks of the 36 week course while the AB class takes the whole 36 weeks to cover it</p>
