<p>Are you sure there is an English 3 AP?? I've never heard of anything of that sort...And check my thread on skipping pre-calc.</p>
<p>First, I've never heard of English 3 AP
I'm taking Chem AP, and it's a B***. Top that off with USAP (not that hard, but *a lot of reading), you're schedule is gonna be brutal.
Psychology??? I'm not a big fan. If i were you, I'd go for Economics AP or Political Science AP, but that's just me
Calculus AP? only if you're smart and don't have to study for tests and quizzes.
In the end, it's all up to how hard you want to work.
If i were you, I'd drop psychology, English, and possibly Calc (our school has a different course path). Instead, i would start studying for the PSAT, SAT, and /or ACT. Those are just as important for college admission. By the way, if you can, just do honors instead of APs.</p>
<p>Yeah, it's English 3 AP which translates to AP Language.</p>
<p>Don't let these people fool you. It's really not that bad, and it's really not THAT much hard work. I mean, APUSH is probably the worst class out of all of those, and it's just because it is the most memorization. Calc isn't bad at all, depending on your teacher, but either way, it's not that bad. So my advice to you, go for it. In the end, it can only help you.</p>
<p>I dont know about your other APs, but DO NOT TAKE AP CALCULUS. Unless you easily went through Honors precal (as in mid-high 90s w/o much studying), AP Calc is going to kill you. Given that you are still in Alg 2, I strongly recommend you against AP calc, since you might drop out of it (chances are good that you will, within the 1st quarter). I've gotten 97 and 96s in my previous Honors precal, but now I barely have an 80 @AP Calc AB, and with intense studying at that... Its your choice, but I advise you against AP Calc</p>
