Decisions, Decisions... With High School Courses

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So I am planning my next year's classes and need help deciding the last slots in my schedule. All the other classes I know I want to take. I could take AP Bio junior year and "triple dip" in the sciences (I really like science), or take the easier statistics, or the new (at my school) computer science, or the always interesting Spanish class. And senior year I have the same problem and possibly also AP Music theory (I play the piano). I don't want to take more than 6 classes per year. Could you give some reasons for choosing classes over each other, or why one deserves priority?</p>

<p>11th Grade
- AP Calculus BC
- AP Physics B
- AP Chemistry
- AP U.S. History
- AP English Language and Composition
- AP Biology/Statistics/Computer Science/Spanish Language?</p>

<p>12th Grade
- Multivariable Calculus
- AP Physics C Mechanics/Electricity and Magnetism
- AP U.S. Government/Economics
- AP English Literature and Composition
- AP Biology/Statistics/Computer Science/Music Theory?
-AP Biology/Statistics/Computer Science/Spanish Language?</p>

<p>We almost have identical schedules lol.</p>

<p>Take AP Spanish Language junior year. Choose your favorite two for senior year; beware, AP Biology is much harder than the others.</p>

<p>I would be the most careful with where I place AP Bio. Rewarding class! Lots of work haha. Khan Academy was such a blessing for that class lol. Save your favorites for senior year so senioritis won’t hit you so hard lol.</p>

<p>And my school is getting AP Music Theory next year and I’m so bummed I’m missing out! I definitely would have taken it!</p>

<p>Why would you try that hard your junior and senior year? You do realize that most colleges only accept 3-5 AP credits…</p>
