<p>My counselor says it's too much with AP english language, honors chemistry, honors spanish, college accounting, honors trig/algebra 2, and college business law. I figured I should double up since I want to take two ap sciences senior year and I'm currently getting a 98 in ap world history. Is it?</p>
<p>If you’re a history buff who really enjoys learning about the past, it’s certainly doable. But keep in mind that (I think) the exams are on the same day. So be prepared for 8 hours of testing and probably like around 6 essays in one day, that is if you are planning to take the exams.</p>
<p>I personally wouldn’t do it because of the exams being on the same day, but it’s up to you.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Is it doable? Yes
do i recommend doing it? Hell No
it depends on the rigor of the classes at your school. AP Euro is the Hardest class at my school, then AP Chem then APUSH</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about it being too much in your schedule. But, if you don’t want 2 AP exams back to back, spread them out (do 1 next year and1 this year). I had AP psych and AP Env on the same day and I was exhausted by the end of psych. I know people here on CC think it’s pathetic that I was exhausted after them, but whatever. I’m just letting you know ahead of time. </p>
<p>Also, sometimes the first exam time runs into the second exam and you lose time on the second exam. My AP Psych teacher said that one year, the Env science ran over 30 minutes into AP psych, and those kids lost 30 minutes. </p>

<p>Doable? Yes
Should you do it? Yes
Neither class is very hard. Also, two exams in one day is pretty easy. Just make sure to bring food. Unless you start an hour late, the first exam should not overlap with the second.</p>
<p>let’s put it this way.</p>
<p>there is no point in taking a rigorous schedule if you’ll be dead by the end of the year.</p>
<p>in all seriousness though, it depends greatly on the school. in my school at least, you would NOT be able to do that (unless you’re a zombie who needs no sleep)</p>
<p>At my school, AP Euro is one of the easiest AP’s (and the teacher is amazing), whereas AP US is much harder (teacher is strict; grumpy + more work).</p>
<p>I think it is quite doable, depending on the difficulty at your school and how much time you are willing to commit.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Very helpful.</p>
<p>I’m also taking APUSH and AP Euro, along with AP Lang, AP Chem, French 3, Latin 3, and Acc. Pre-Calc. I feel like I know it will be a lot of work but I’m up for the challenge. Hope you decide to do it! I think it will be beneficial</p>
<p>i took ap euro and us history this year as a junior, and took both exams today. to put it simply, if you’re truly interested in history and are willing to put in the time for both classes, it shouldn’t be too much of a problem. the fact that the exams are on the same day is incredibly annoying, but it’s doable. i was completely EXHAUSTED by the end of the day and my brain was (and still is, actually) completely fried, but i survived. it’s not the most ideal testing situation, but it’s not a complete nightmare if you have a degree of mental endurance.</p>
<p>Dont listen to your counselors…Im took AP euro online over the summer and got an A. It really depends on how good your teachers are and the difficulty of your other classes.</p>
<p>I am probably taking AP Euro, but the thing is I’m dropping lunch for it. I figured I would get ahead by starting some of the assignments by taking notes on textbooks my school uses for the courses. Is this a good idea?</p>
<p>I would recommend listening to your counselor and/or other students at your school over us because we don’t know your school and what your classes would be like. No one in their right mind would ever do it at my school (on top of the fact that APUSH is only a junior class and Euro is only seniors) because Euro is one of the hardest classes at our school, and APUSH is a lot of reading too. I’m a total history geek and while I would want to make it work if it were an option, I would have some serious doubts just because there’s so much material to cover for each class. On top of that, you have the tests on the same day right after one another, which is just going to be hell. </p>
<p>If you want to take it there’s nothing we can say to stop you, but I personally think that if your counselor says it’s a bad idea, it probably is.</p>
<p>It is doable. I actually did that this year, and it was great. I took 4 AP Classes. U.S. History, European History, Spanish and English Language. I was lucky enough to have the same great teacher for both history classes. I finished the year with a 98 average in U.S. and a 91 in Euro. It is doable and very interesting. It also helps with major events like the World Wars, basically going over it twice. The AP Exams were not hard at all to me, and it looks like with your schedule, you will be ready.</p>
<p>I did it my junior year. I got a B in APUSH and a C in AP Euro (there’s a story to that).</p>
<p>IF POSSIBLE: Try scheduling them as far away from each other as possible. My junior year schedule was:</p>
<p>APUSH
Chemistry (Honors, not AP)
AP Euro
Spanish
Pre-AP Algebra II
AP English Lang
Humanities
Band</p>
<p>That was fine. But then they switched my Spanish and English classes making my three AP classes all in the first four blocks. THAT was when ALL my AP grades started dropping.</p>
<p>If at all possible, take one first period and one last.</p>
<p>I know someone who did it along with an overall rigorous schedule and she was absolutely miserable. They’re two of the most reading-intensive APs, so each one takes a lot of time on its own right and it is very difficult to do both.</p>
<p>That’s crazy dude </p>

<p>Well it depends…Im taking APUSH semester long in school with 4 other AP’s and 3 Honors. Then out of school I have 2 other history classes. Ask your school if you can take one history course out of school. Its “easier” since you have the book ;)</p>
<p>I took AP USH and AP Euro this past year and it was definitely doable. It helps if you’re actually interested in history, then the reading won’t be as painful. I got an A in APUSH and a B+ in Euro. However, since I focused more on history, my AP Calculus suffered. I got a D+/C- in Calculus.</p>
