AP Physics B or AP English Literature and Composition?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi! (This is my first thread on this site, actually.) I probably shouldn't be thinking of next year's schedule now, but I was recently called by my counsellor regarding my AP English class. She told me that the class is to be moved from 3rd period (a 45-minute class when all others are 90 minutes) to 2nd period, which conflicts with AP Physics. This was what my schedule once looked like:</p>

<p>AP Calculus AB (all year)
AP Physics B (all year)
AP English Lit & Comp (all year, only 45 min)
Drawing & Painting II (1st semester)
AP Spanish Language (2nd semester)
French II (1st semester)
Contemporary World Studies (2nd semester)</p>

<p>If I want to keep AP Physics and stay in our school's supposedly ever-so-fantastic STEM program, I'd have to take "Honours" English during my French class. I'd also be taking a waste of a class called "Honours STEM Capstone," which is required for all STEM students but which I got out of when I signed up for AP English (all we do is work on one project all year).</p>

<p>On the other hand, I could keep AP English (since I've never had an AP humanities class outside of self-studying AP Psych), but then I would have spent three year in STEM for nothing, lose AP Physics, and take a waste of a class like AP Psychology in the absence of the Capstone class.</p>

<p>If you've been too lazy to read the chunks of text and looked only at the list of classes, I have to choose one of the following: </p>

<p>Plan A:
AP Physics
Honous STEM Capstone
Honours English 12</p>

<p>Plan 1:
AP English Lit & Comp
AP Psychology (maybe)
French II</p>

<p>In neither of these are AP Calc, AP Spanish, CWS, or the art class necessarily affected. Quite frankly, I'm annoyed that this only explained to me yesterday, in the middle of the summer, whilst working on the required AP summer reading. >:( Seeing as this would butcher everyone else's schedules in AP English, I've strongly considered getting some other students to meet with some people in cherge of scheduling to try and get the class moved back to 3rd period, but this will likely fail.</p>

<p>Which would be more rewarding? Which is more intersting? Why one over the other?</p>

<p>I'd appreciate your $0.02 and hope you have a blessed day! (Sorry for all the parentheses.)</p>

<p>I like how you apologize for parentheses using parentheses :P</p>

<p>If you decide to take AP English, will you not be able to take any language at all next year? could you still manage to take 3 years of French in HS if you miss next year?</p>

<p>It depends on your major, personally I would take Physics because I hate English. It depends on what you like.</p>

<p>It kinda sucks that these are my senior classes… :frowning: AP English doesn’t impede on AP Spanish or French II, but if I took AP Physics, I’d lose French entirely and compromise my English.</p>

<p>It doesn’t help that I am almost completely uncertain of my major, except that I don’t want equine science loll. I’ve been thinking about psychology or architecture, but I kinda wanted to double major with a humanity, possibly philosophy…</p>

<p>$.02??
it depends on ur major so u should go for plan b.</p>

<p>Don’t worry too much about AP English, If you take Honors English, you can self study AP Lit. But, If you do not like Math, don’t take physics.</p>
