<p>I'm insane.</p>
<p>Yes I am.</p>
<p>Is it possible with USH and Lit and Calc AB and those two? My parents are against this. But idk.. AP Chem is like this self-study online course. So idk.. Advice please!</p>
<p>It’s possible. I’m currently taking both this year, along with AP Gov/Apecon (in place of APUSH), AP Lang (lol), Calc BC, and a music class.</p>
<p>Just be prepared. It really depends on how much of a work ethic you have, as well as how much motivation. I personally have a work ethic of a dead horse, but am still maintaining A’s/A+'s with some outside motivation.</p>
<p>Personally, I think that AP Bio and AP chem kind of compliment each other. (There was actually a question on today’s AP Chem exam that referenced pigment and chromatography, which practically nobody got correct since it actually required vague biology knowledge.)</p>
<p>AP biology, especially when you get to the molecular chapters, references a some AP chem reactions. Oxidation-reduction processes in AP bio are so much easier to take in when you’re going through (or have gone through) it already in AP chem (or vice versa).</p>
<p>It’s challenging, but it’s possible! :)</p>
<p>It completely depends on what kind of a person you are, though. If your parents know you well, then listen to them. Still, don’t let fear overcome a desire to succeed.</p>
<p>Also, self-study online courses are what you make of them. I personally think AP chem is better with a teacher, but my teacher herself does a “flipped classroom” (she puts lectures online, and we do h/w in class with her advice).
Just make sure you can actually learn everything and retain what you learn.</p>
<p>Okay honest truth (that was redundant… but whatever), I don’t know my limit. I’ve never reached it because everything school taught me was just easy. </p>
<p>My parents think I don’t have a work ethic… And like you I have the motivation of a dead horse (or maybe a really sleepy horse who just woke up from a great dream). </p>
<p>My friend told me AP Bio is so much work and memorization. I don’t want to completely fill my brain with Bio and forget SAT prep. </p>
<p>I’m not very good at Chem, but with assistance I can usually solve it.</p>
<p>I really don’t know. I heard from my school APUSH is so much work. Lit, I’m just whatevering since apparently whenever I b.s. the most, the better my essays are. Calc, the teacher is AMAZING. Also that’s the class after pre-calc</p>
<p>AP bio AND AP chem require a lot of memorization and work. It’s pretty much inherent in an AP course…?</p>
<p>For your “limit”… if you think everything is easy, does that mean you get effortless A’s in advanced classes (in that case, where the rest of your classmates get B’s?)</p>
<p>Also… SAT prep is overrated. Don’t spend your school years studying for one 3-hour test that only reflects the bare minimum of your study skills.</p>
<p>Don’t forget about the SAT II subject tests. If you take AP bio and AP chem, the SAT II Bio e/m and chem tests should be easy.</p>
<p>If you want to do well in an AP course, you’re going to have to “fill your brain” with the material.
Have you taken any other AP courses before?</p>
<p>Also, APUSH is a lot of work, especially if you haven’t taken a previous AP history class.</p>
<p>AP English classes (lang and/or lit), to me, are a joke. If you can read and write coherently, you’re fine. They help with SAT vocab, though.</p>
<p>I have never taken any previous AP classes because my school doesn’t offer to sophomores (also I wanted to take the foundations before moving onto APs).</p>
<p>I usually get effortless A (and in precalc it’s over 100 and I rarely do anything). My friends get Bs or low As.</p>
<p>Alright. Just be sure you can handle it! I’m just telling you it is possible if you’re willing to work hard. (:</p>
