Course selection advice

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hello everyone,
I am new to these forums so please excuse me for [possibly] posting in the wrong section. </p>

<p>We got course selection sheets a few days back and I'm a bit stumped on what I should pick. Right now, I am a freshman. I need help deciding course selection for my sophomore year. </p>

<p>Right now I have:</p>

<p>English 1 Honors
Biology Honors
AP Art History
AP Human Geography
AP World History
Spanish II
Algeba II Honors</p>

<p>Next year, the classes I must take are:
Pre-Calculus Honors
English II Honors
Chemistry Honors</p>

<p>I have room to pick 4 more classes (for a total of 7).
I'm thinking of adding:</p>

<p>AP Biology
Physics Honors
AP American History
Spanish III honors</p>

<p>My main reason for jumping to physics in my sophomore year is so I can take my subject SATs in junior year. That is when you are suppose to apply to college, so I thought it was important to do the subject SATs before I apply to college. Physics is meant for 11th graders but like I said earlier, I want to take subject SATs. I don't think Physics will be a problem since I am in Algebra II. Can someone tell me how Subject SATs work and if I need to have the ones I want to complete before I apply for college? </p>

<p>I want to do Subject SATs for Biology (is there even one for that?), Chemistry and Physics. </p>

<p>I'd love to hear some advice. I honestly have no idea what I want to do.</p>

<p>FYI, you do not apply for college in your junior year; you apply in the first semester of senior year.</p>

<p>Yes, there is an SAT Subject Test for Biology. Almost all colleges only need you to take two subject tests. Most sciencey applicants will submit Math 2 and one of the science subject tests, so it’s not necessary to take all three science subject tests.</p>

<p>That being said, your requested schedule looks fine, unless there’s another rigorous (AP/honors) class that you want to take in place of physics or something.</p>
