Is it better to take Five AP classes Junior year or Senior year?
junior year bc the scores/schedule will be readily available for colleges to see
It won’t make that much of a difference if the total number of APs is the same… bc colleges see your senior schedule and final grades too. However, are you willing to handle lots of APs in addition to college apps and senioritis if you take that many in 12th grade? It also depends on what APs you plan to take. Some are harder than others and colleges know this. You also should consider taking APs related to your interests and possible major in college- taking certain classes jr yr can help you decide if you want to learn more about a topic/take the 2nd part or decide on a career path early… taking APs related to your already decided major can help you keep the info fresh for college.
It’s all up to what you know about yourself and your work ethic.
It’s not the number if APs, it’s which ones and what goals.
So, for better advice, list the full schedule you envision for both Jr and Sr years.

Closing thread. OP should have incorporated into his/her other post instead of creating a new one that is just a variation of a theme.
