<p>What ap class do you think a person should take each year?</p>
<p>You mean classes?</p>
<p>Freshman:
Human Geo
Environmental Science</p>
<p>Sophomore:
Biology
Stats
Euro</p>
<p>Junior:
Calc AB
Physics B
Chemistry
English Lang</p>
<p>Senior:
Calc BC
English Lit.
Physics C
US/Comp. Government
Foreign Language</p>
<p>ap classes are a good way to determine what subject you enjoy. By the end of senior year I will have taken 11, but all of them were my choosing.
Sophomore Yr: Calc AB (5)
Junior Yr: Calc BC (5), English 3 (5), APUSH (5), Chem (4), Computer Science (4)
Senior Yr: Stats, Gov, English 4, Physics, Biology</p>
<p>Isn’t calculs hard for sophmore year babaganoosh213? I think you did a great job getting a 5 but for a average student shouldn’t you do it in 11th grade.</p>
<p>Most people take AP Calculus their senior year. The above-average student takes it their junior year, and geniuses take it their freshman and sophomore year. :-)</p>
<p>Most schools won’t let kids skip math classes because of Grad Requirements, regardless of how smart they are.</p>
<p>Puggly123- I lked your answer. In my school, they give it to you in junior year, so I was wondering how?
Nks123-same here.</p>
<p>WOAH Calculus is even advanced for seniors, man. Most people take PRECALC their senior year, if they take math at all. If you want this guy to take it his sophomore year, you better hope he’s already three years ahead in math. Math isn’t a subject you can just hop into whenever you want. It’s just like a language, you need considerable background before you can get into AP-level material.</p>
<p>What courses do I think a person should take? I think you should take courses that interest you and challenge you, whether or not they are AP. I don’t think it’s at all necessary to take any AP classes your freshman year. If you’re super, super focused on getting into Harvard or something, that’s one thing, but if you’re just a high school student, take classes you like and you’ll be fine. This was a normal AP schedule for very advanced students at my school:
9-none (usually took Accelerated Chem-Phys, Geometry/Algebra 2/RadAcc 2, World Civ, and Honors English)
10-AP Biology, AP Euro History (along with Algebra 2/Precalc/MAYBE AP Calc, and US Lit)
11-AP Chemistry, AP US History, AP English Language, (possibly) AP Calc AB, (possibly) AP foreign language
12-AP Physics or AP Enviro, AP English Lit, AP Comp Gov, AP Macroecon, one of the two AP Calcs or AP Stat, (possibly) AP foreign language
And mine:
9-none (Acc Chem, Geometry, World Civ, Honors English)
10-none (Adv Bio 1, Algebra 2, US Lit)
11-AP US History, AP English Lang (Acc Phys, Precalc)
12-AP English Lit, AP German, AP US Gov, AP Macroecon
And look at me, I got into college and everything. 
Seriously though, take whatever you want. You don’t need to kill yourself to have a good life later on :D</p>
<p>“WOAH Calculus is even advanced for seniors, man.”</p>
<p>What I meant is that most people who do take AP calc in high school take it as seniors. Sorry for the confusion.</p>

<p>I’m not sure what you mean by the question. It depends on what the school offers. AP-intensive sequences in my school (by subject) include:</p>
<p>Earth Science Honors (Freshman), AP Biology (Sophomore), AP Chemistry (Junior), AP Physics B (Senior)</p>
<p>Alg/Trig I (Freshman), Alg/Trig 2 (Sophomore), Pre-Calculus Honors (Junior), AP Statistics (Junior), AP Calculus AB or BC (Senior)</p>
<p>Global History Honors (Freshman), AP World History (Sophomore), AP US History (Junior), AP US Government (Senior), AP Macro/Microeconomics (Senior)</p>
<p>English Honors (Freshman + Sophomore), AP English Language (Junior), AP English Literature (Senior)</p>
<p>What is the reason for taking Calc AB one year and Calc BC the next year? Why wouldn’t you simply take Calc BC and be done with Calc? You get an AB subscore anyway, so it seems pointless to waste 2 whole classes on Calc when they’re pretty similar…</p>
<p>@steel03- I agree with you that whatever you like to take, you should take and also along with what you ar going to do later as a carrer.
@sd6- I am just asking what a typical person should choose as their AP class in each year.
@Jamezz93-You could do that, but some schools like mine, they don’t give you a semester to take each class. It’s really dumb.</p>
<p>@Custardapple101, the “typical” person takes 0 APs during the course of their high school career. You have already taken the first step in deciding to be an AP student, and now, you need to make your schedule based on what you feel will be beneficial to you, the amount of work you can handle, and the rules your school implements.</p>
<p>By the way, I’m not saying that you should take every AP on this list each year (I think this might be almost all of them), but these are APs that you would probably be ready to take by that year.</p>
<p>Freshman:
AP Gov
AP Psych
Human Geography
Environmental Science</p>
<p>Sophomore:
AP World
AP Bio?
Stats
AP Econ?</p>
<p>Junior:
APUSH
AP Physics B
AP Chem
Calc AB?
English Lang
Computer Science</p>
<p>Senior:
AP Euro
AP Physics C
Calc BC
English Lit
Foreign Language</p>
<p>@sd6, but if a typical person wanted to challenge him/her self then they would take more ap’s.</p>
