Hi! I am a high school sophomore and I was just looking for some guidance regarding planning for my junior year. Here’s some background: I am taking 4 AP classes this year (Chem, Calc, Lang, Gov).
Next year, I have so far scheduled AP Comp Sci A, Honors Physics, AP Physics, AP Biology, Spanish 3, and possibly AP Lit. Since I took Calculus as a sophomore, I have exhausted the math classes at my high school. I could take AP Stats, but I would like to take that as a senior (and it doesn’t fit well period-wise). I was looking into Differential Equations or Linear Algebra but I would have to take that at my local college and it might mean I would not be able to take AP Physics or AP Lit. So here is my dilemma: I know taking Differential Equations or Linear Algebra as an 11th grader would be extremely impressive and help with college, but is it worth it to miss out on physics and lit? If I decide not to go that route, I would not be taking a “real” math class my junior year, but I would have 4 APs (and lots of extracurriculars).
Start by finding out if you can skip a year of math - at our high school it simply would not be allowed no matter what your math level you need math yearly. Physics - can I ask why you would take both honors and ap physics? AP Physics 1 is an entry level physics that does not need honors. If you don’t take ap lit what would you take for English (ELA)?
