<p>Hi everybody!
I'm just having a little problem decidng what to do for my science course next year. I have been given a lot of advice but I wanted to see what everybody here thought about it.</p>
<p>This was my orginal plan for my junior year(it has changed a little bit since a earlier post)</p>
<p>AP US History
Drawing elective
International Relations elective
English 11
Algebra 2
Spanish 4
AP Biology.
Self Study AP Art</p>
<p>However this week each sophmore was sent to talk about course sign ups with the 2 college counslars. After talking about my plans they said that it would be best to do AP Biology next year as a senior and do physics as a junior since I did not plan to do a AP science in my senior year. They explained that colleges wanted to see a harder work load each year and it would be best to save the Ap science until my senior year.</p>
<p>I can understand why they would say this but I just don't think I can do Physics. Ap Biology I agree is extremely hard but I can deal with it-as a freshman I took the hardest biology class offered before AP and had the highest grade in the class. I am good at Biology but I have a feeling I will be bad at Physics as it is more math based. Math is a challenge for me and what takes most people 15 mins can take me an hour. I also don't think I can be intrested in Physics. I also believe that I may not be able to handel two APs next year. I live at least an hour a way from school and most nights with my Ec's and the train I get home at 6:OO or 7:00pm. Junior year is also the hardest year at my school and though my schedule may not seem impressive to most people on this site I go to a prepatory private high school. It is a proven fact( proven by an independent organization)
that a regular class at my school is worth the highest level/honor at the best public school in the area. ( I would say it but then you would know where I lived and I feel a little bit uncomfortable with letting out the info) This can be seen in English 11, the same teacher who teaches AP English is the teacher of English 11. Additionally more than half the juniors this year are getting straight D's because the workload is so strenous. It also doesn't help that next year my school is switching to semesters from trimesters. Also i am really nervous about taking an AP test next year because I do well in class and then screw up on the test like AP euro this year.</p>
<p>Alright sorry it took so long but here are the three options I can do. Please tell which you think might be the best for me to do and any other ideas on how I can do science next year.</p>
<p>1) AP biology-take science electives as a senior or if extremely motivated physics.
2) Physics and then AP biology as a Senior
3) Take the two science electives and maybe self study AP envo at the same time.
Thanks-any advice appreciated-sorry so long,:)</p>
