AP courses? When should I take them?

<p>Alright. So I am trying to get as many credits as I can so they will count for college.</p>

<p>Freshman:
None offered</p>

<p>Sophomore:
AP Spanish Language
AP Human Geography</p>

<p>Junior:
AP English Lang
AP US History
AP Spanish Literature</p>

<p>Senior:
AP English Lit
AP Gov/
AP Macroeconomics (semester classes)</p>

<p>I want to take AP pysch and AP environmental science but I am not sure if I should self-study or not. I am a sophomore right now and I am trying to plan this all out. I wouldn't have room in my senior year schedule to fit these two AP classes in (unless I kicked out French). Should I self-study the two senior year or would that be too much? And junior year will be hectic so I don't know if that would work out either. Also, is this possible to self study for two courses?</p>

<p>it is possible but i wouldn’t recommend it unless you direly need the credit or enjoy being sleep-deprived. Colleges would rather see courses than tests, and if you have a full courseload, colleges will see that and be plenty impressed.</p>

<p>Just self-study psychology. I’m a sophomore too and self-studying it, but I’m waiting until later in the year to actually start because it’s supposedly very easy.</p>

<p>If you are already taking multiple AP classes, self-studying your junior or senior year will be awful and unnecessary. You seem to have a good balance in your schedule in the way you planned it out already. AP Psych would be the easier choice to study study though. Psych is much more memorization than AP enviro, because you do not need to teach yourself how different processes work. I would not advise starting later in the year as animefan suggested. It is not hard, but you still need to know a lot. It’s best to break it up so it is manageable. </p>

<p>Right now you are taking AP Human Geography and AP Spanish Lang. APHG is one of the easier AP classes and I’m assuming that you grew up speaking Spanish, so the class will likely be easier for you than other people who did not. Your schedules for junior and senior year will definitely be a step up, but they do not seem awful. Having a social life, being a part of extracurricular activities, and sleeping are important too. You still have plenty of time to make these decisions, and you will probably change your mind by then as well. Some people try to take all AP classes and cannot manage the workload. It is better to have a few AP classes, a few easier classes, and a life than trying to do too much and failing.</p>

<p>I actually didn’t grow up speaking spanish haha! I took it in middle school, just like most of the kids in my level right now but it still is somewhat difficult. Thank you for responding (:</p>
