Difficulty of my High School Schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Okay, so I have planned out my high school schedule. </p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
-AP Psychology
Study Hall
-AP Environmental Science
-Trigonometry-Pre Calculus
-AP Language and Composition</p>

<p>Junior Year:
-Study Hall
-World Language 1-2
-AP Calculus AB
-AP European History/AP US History
-AP Literature and Composition</p>

<p>Senior Year:
-AP Biology
-Chemistry-Music/Art
-AP Calculus BC
-AP European History/AP US History
-Study Hall</p>

<p>I was scheduled for APUSH my sophomore year, but it interfered with my math credits, so I got it switched to AP Psych instead. APUSH and AP Euro are also on a weird alternating schedule, so I'm not sure which one I will be taking junior and senior year. I can only take 3 AP Classes a year due to the insane workload of each AP Class (an hour a night per AP Class plus NHS, Student Council, and BYAC), the lack of AP Classes, and the requirements to graduate. I have to take one more Music/Art Credit senior year. Same thing with the World Language classes. So, what was YOUR experience with these classes? I know it varies from teacher to teacher, but I would like your opinions on the difficulty.</p>

<p>Euro and USH over 2 years? why not just seperate them
and yeah take a science jr year</p>

<p>AP Environmental was really easy. I did really well in the class. I took AP Bio last year; I really had to work for those As. It’s difficult, but not impossible, to earn the grade in that class. I found that reading the book along with studying the notes was the only way I would do well on the quizzes (I’m not sure how your class would be taught, so this may not even be relevant). I’m taking AP Psych, AP Calc AB, APUSH, and AP Eng/Comp. (as well as AP Chem, which I don’t believe you have chosen…?) right now. I definitely have a heavy workload in history-homework every night and quiz every day. Psych is similar in assignments. Calc seems easy enough, though I’ve taken AICE Math (advanced pre-calc) as a pre-req. Your schedule does seem manageable, and I’m sure you’ll be able to balance everything!</p>

<p>Don’t take APES and AP Psych in the same year because the exams are on the same day. It’s exhausting to have 2 AP exams on the same day. I probably could’ve easily gotten a 4 or 5 on psych had I not been worn out by APES</p>

5

<p>APUSH and AP Euro are also on the same day.</p>

6

<p>Don’t Calc AB and Calc BC cover the same ground but BC just does more? Why take both?</p>

7

<p>Take a science junior year, it is more important to have a science then an extra AP.</p>

8

<p>Hannahbanana, some schools require that you take AB before BC</p>

9

<p>If your school allows it, take AP Calculus BC junior year instead of both AB and BC.</p>

10

<p>I would say that is about an 8 out of ten on difficulty</p>

11

<p>I can’t take a science junior year because it won’t fit in my schedule due to me attending an EXTREMELY small school. I am NOT taking APUSH and AP Euro in the same year. I put a ''APUSH/AP Euro" because I don’t know which class will be offered that year.</p>
