<p>I always had just assumed that during my junior year, I would take AP Lang, AP Chem, APUSH, and maybe APES or AP Psych. However, I'm now reconsidering AP English Language.</p>
<p>Writing isn't a strong point of mine. I'm more of a math and science sort of person. I have heard horrible, terrible things about the work load and difficulty of the AP Language class at my school. </p>
<p>I'm a good student. Rank 10 out of 400 in my class, taking AP World History and AP Biology this year as a sophomore. Neither of them are problematic for me. </p>
<p>The main reasons I want to take AP Language are 1) to challenge myself to become a better writer, 2) to have another AP under my belt, 3) to be with my smart friends, rather than people I dislike who happen to take non-AP classes, 4) to foolishly uphold my "pride" in taking a difficult schedule, and 5) to get a 100 in that class. (Even in my worst subjects, I usually manage very high grades. And my school gives a 5 point curve for AP classes if you have an A, so I'm confident I could manage a 100.)</p>
<p>Now, though, it seems so daunting :( I don't want to cause myself unnecessary stress. So should I take it? Please offer advice.</p>
<p>[If it helps any:]
Junior schedule:
APUSH, AP Chem, AP Lang (?), Band, Gifted Math 3 (GA curriculum), and either Spanish 3, another AP, or Physics.
Senior:
Band, AP Physics, AP Calc, AP Lit, [2 misc. AP classes] </p>
<p>Thank you in advance!</p>
