<p>Is it uncommon for a prerequisite to an AP course be an honors of the course? For instance, last year I took Honors Chemistry and I am now in AP Chemistry. That is how it works for AP Biology too, at my school.</p>
<p>No, that is how it is at my school too.</p>
<p>mine too. Do you guys have a state required 4 years of gym because I know a lot of schools dont and gym wastes a lot of good classes. Also, does your school require that you take 2 art or music classes, 1 tech course, and at least 4 other electives because mine does and the ticks me off because I would rather take more forgein language or more AP.</p>
<p>Language: 3 honors, 1 AP or 4 honors (depends on la)
Math: 3 honors, 1 AP (only calc avail)
Science: 2 honors, 2 AP (bio, chem, physics), all double periods
History: 2 honors, 2 AP's
Elective: level 1 and honors, AP in computer science
Language: 2 regular, 1 honors, 1 AP</p>
<p>Top students go humanities or science route
Either 2 AP english, 2 ap histories, ap calc, ap language
or 2 AP Science, 2 Ap Computer Programming or engineering(non Ap), AP Calc
This year 4 is the most AP's taken, done by 2 people, me and maybe 10 other people take 3.
All the rest of the courses are honors.</p>
<p>My high school only has 11 AP courses. I will be taking all of them except music theory.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>19 semesters worth of honors courses, not 19 year-long honors courses.</p>

<p>i took 7 ap classes in high school</p>
<p>Every single one of my core classes have been honors/AP. I’ll have 6 AP’s and 11 or so Honors (in high school, 2 math, 1 english, and 2 spanish before that). I have less academic classes than usual because I go to a school for 2 to 1 periods a day (depending on year) for Jazz Piano, so I only have 4 or 5 classes a day.</p>
<p>Our large CA public HS only has 1 official honors course, Honors Pre-Calc, plus a full IB program and ~ 20 AP courses. My son will have approx 15 AP/IB year long courses plus the Honors Pre-Calc.</p>
<p>The regular school day is 6 periods, but sport teams, ASB, and some EC’s must take up one of these periods.</p>
<p>My school offers a just enough AP and honors classes to fill up my schedule, of which I have most likely the most rigorous in the entire grade.</p>
<p>Freshman year I was in Honors American Lit, World History and Algebra 2. Regular Biology (no honors) and French 3 (only freshman in the class), plus Orchestra, PE rounded out my schedule.</p>
<p>Sophomore year I took the first available AP, Euro, plus Honors Precalc, French 4, Brit Lit. Chemistry was again the the only non AP option, and I had to take PE and Orchestra as well.</p>
<p>This year I’ve fully maxed out on APs-Calc, US, Eng Lang, Chem, Art History and Music. Thank god we have a 6 class limit or I would have taken 8 and died.</p>
<p>Senior year I plan on taking AP Bio, Physics, Stats, Eng Lit, and Gov, along with Health (bleh required) and maybe psychology.</p>
<p>That’s 8 APs by the end of junior year (taking Chinese), just enough for the National AP Scholar award, and 13 by the end of high school. Double major shouldn’t take more than 4 years with all the credits.</p>
<p>So that’s my perspective. Take as many as you mentally can handle.</p>
<p>My school has honors English I, English II, English III, Chemistry, Biology, Geometry, Algebra II, and Trig/Pre-Calc.
We only have regular physics, calculus, languages, and history.
We have AP Biology, Chemistry, US Government, and English Lit.
So the most honors/AP you can take is 12.</p>
<p>Probably the average number at my school is 0-2. Most people seem to take honors English, but this year there were only 11 people taking AP Bio and I think 8 people taking AP Chem.</p>
