- I learned the French 4 curriculum on my own this year cuz it didnt fit</p>
<p>12th grade (projected courses):
AP English (lit.), AP Chemistry, Physics 1 and Physics 2 (both accelerated), AP Calc BC, AP Economics, AP French 5</p>
<p>-Concert Choir doesn't fit into my schedule because I added Physics into it. Even if I drop Physics 2 it doesnt fit. So i'm thinking about dropping Calc BC (because I know i'll probably do miserably in it) instead. I took two maths junior year, so will it matter if i drop math in 12th grade?</p>
