Classes to take junior year? And classes you're taking?

Forecasting is coming soon and I want to plan ahead for my junior year. However, I am not sure if I’ll be able to pass these classes… I have eight periods btw.

ASB Government
Pre-Calc
Spanish 4
APUSH
AP English
AP Environmental Science
AP Psychology

AP Physics

Should I not take more than 3 ap classes?

My classes this year: (sophomore)

ASB government
Spanish 3
English 2
Adv Algebra
Chemistry
AP BIO
AP world history
Sports Medicine 2

The amount of AP classes one should take really depends on the individual. How do you feel with your two APs this year? Do you know what APs you definitely want to take and what you could substitute with other classes? From what I’ve heard, AP exam scores aren’t that important to colleges, so taking a ton of APs for the sake of it isn’t all that helpful, other than the GPA boost. On the other hand, taking APs for subjects you are planning to major in and are likely to get an A in is safer, lowers your workload, and enforces your interest in your major of choice. However, if you are able to get all A’s and 5’s, that will no doubt look amazing too! Just don’t take all APs because you think you have to.

My definite classes are AP Lang, APUSH, Pre-Calculus, Chemistry, and Honors Latin III.

If you can handle APWH and AP Bio as a sophmore, I think you’ll be fine with that. APES and AP Psych are considered pretty easy. Which physics and English are you taking? I’m assuming AP Lang/AP Physics I. IIRC Lang and Physics I are pretty middle of the road in rigor. The only work heavy one I see is APUSH.

What physics is that? You could take 1 because it is an introductory course, but C is much more demanding and requires a background in physics and calculus.

I’m taking 5 APs also, but I only have 6 periods. Doing 5 APs with 8 periods seems rough, but if you feel up to it, go for it.
I’m doing the same ones as you are except calc BC and stats instead of enviro and psych :smiley:

I’m taking four APs, two regular classes, and I TA for two teachers in my two free periods.

Are you definitely set on taking AP Physics next year? That one (along with APUSH, but that’s standard for juniors) seems like it’ll probably take up the most of your time, so pushing it back to senior year might help if you want a lighter courseload. A study hall might be a huge help, too.
