<p>Just want to point out before I rate the classes, i really can’t tell you how each class is like, since every school is different. I’ll tell you what I have personally experienced/told by classmates, and in parenthesis, i’ll give you the difficulty of the AP test if it is one</p>

<p>AP English Lang./Comp - 4 (9, hard to get a 5 on AP test, SAT CR on crack + essays, to me, it’s the hardest test after AP Chemistry)</p>

<p>Honors Physics I - 4 (take ap test for Physics B!, which is about a 6)</p>

<p>Honors Pre-Calculus - 3, you are good at math</p>

<p>AP US History - 7 (6, not too hard to get a 5 because curve is really generous, but you need to know general trends AND specific facts). the class may be a bit hard since you’re world history grade is a bit low. </p>

<p>AP Statistics - 6 (6, AP test is kind of specific, darn those inference questions with 9 steps!)</p>

<p>AP Spanish Lang - 8 (8, unless you’re hispanic, good luck on it). If you’re aiming for a 3 on the AP test, i don’t think it will be too chanllenging. </p>

<p>AP Psychology - 4 (3, from what i’ve been informed, it’s about the easiest AP test there is after Human Geography and APES) the class itself might be somewhat challenging. </p>

<p>Sociology - 3, my friend tells me its the best class she’s taken because there are a lot of class discussions. But I think you should drop this elective, you’re taking 8 classes?</p>

<p>No, AP Psychology is a semester and Sociology is another semester. By the way, I’ve made an A in AP World History ever since the beginning of school; this the first time I’ve made a B in that class.</p>

<p>OH! Then don’t worry about APUSH. APUSH, at least to me, is easier than World History. Honestly, I hated learning about the crazy mayans and mesoamericans, and i failed that chapter test. APUSH was always interesting. You’ll probably end up reading Bailey for APUSH, and he’s amazing. Reading his book was never dull to me, not even at 1:30 in the morning.
Psych is easy, so is sociology. have fun!</p>

<p>Good luck on AP WH though! the test’s curve is not generous, and only 9% got 5’s last year! it might be too late to say this, but you should get a combination of PR and Barrons. PR for general trends, Barrons for specific fact (which is really important!)</p>

<p>Oh, I bought the Princeton Review like last month… I’ve been reviewing since then.</p>

8

<p>Psychology - 1
Statistics - 1
Spanish Lang - 7
English Lang - 7
APUSH - 4.5</p>

<p>Lang and Stats are ridiculously easy.</p>
