What do the fractions mean?

^my best guess is the number of semesters OP has studied the subject (e.g. Spanish 7/8 means the seventh and eighth semester of Spanish studies).

Whether the classes are “good enough” and rigorous enough really depends on what your school offers, your current academic background, and many other factors. I don’t think I can accurately answer your question.

I think your schedule shows plenty of rigor… you have thirteen AP classes!
One thing to consider is that you’ll be taking four very demanding APs during the college application season… I would think about maybe moving one to the second semester. On the other hand, if you think you can handle it, go for it!
