Hi!
I’m planning on taking AP European History next year (as a sophomore), but based on the research I’ve done it seems like a very heavy and rigorous class. With the other classes I’m taking (Physics, AP Statistics, Honors Pre-Calculus, Introduction to Computer Programming, Computer Graphic Arts, Honors World History, Honors Humanities) will I be able to manage everything? Computer Programming and Computer Graphic Arts are going to be my easy classes, and I’m going to have to put in some extra effort on my math classes.
Is my schedule manageable? Should I take Ap Stats and AP Euro together?
Thank you!
Sorry, I realized this was in the wrong category! How do you delete it?

It’s fine, mods will transfer the thread to high school.
To address your question, AP Euro isn’t too extensive, and AP stats is one of the easier math AP’s. As long as you are focused, it shouldn’t be an issue.
I don’t see foreign language in that schedule.
AP Stats is an elective, so replace it with that core class.
Everything else is fine.
AP Stat is a math class in CA. And at our local HS, AP Euro offered is considered the toughest AP class, because of the teacher and all the writing. For Sophomores, PreCalc and AP Stat is a popular combo for kids in the upper math track as Sophomores. Schedule seems doable, but entirely depends on the amount of work required in AP Euro.
You should probably discuss it with your school’s math department. People here on CC make AP Stats sound like a cake walk. According to my d19, the AP Stat exam last week pretty much was for her and most of the students in her class. But the class itself hasn’t been nearly so easy. She enjoys it, but it is challenging and some kids are struggling with it. Their final exam this week is harder than the AP exam.
People here on CC can give you a general idea of AP exam difficulty, but unless they go to your school, they won’t know how difficult the actual class is. You need to talk to students and teachers at your school for that info.
^I know it’s a math class in terms of high school requirements, but colleges see it as an elective unless the student is not taking calculus.
