Does my schedule look doable?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Next year I will be junior.
So far my schedule next year looks like:</p>

<p>Ap Calc Ab
Ap English Language
Ap Spanish Language
AP Biology
Ap Comp
French 2</p>

<p>And possibly AP Gov and economics honors(maybe macro, but I heard it's killer :() online via FLVS(Florida Virtual School).</p>

<p>My school does block schedule. Which means I have 3 classes a day and each class is 90 minutes long. And the days alternate A day to B day.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if this info helps but, I go to a D school and my school's grading policy is the lowest grade you can recieve is a 50. You have unlimited retakes. And for any math class you only retake the question you missed.) And they grading scale is:
90-100 A
89-80 B
79-70 C
69-60 D
59-50 F
I live in florida if that wasn't already mentioned. </p>

<p>P.S. (I know you're thinking my school sounds hard to fail...and it is. I don't take advantage of those policies. I hardly ever retake tests or get anything below a B) </p>

<p>How many hours of work will I have per day?
Will I be able to play a sport and not kill myself?
Any tips on managing multiple APs? I've only taken 1 my freshman year and 1 my sophmore year.</p>

<p>And advice is appreciated!</p>

<p>What part of Florida?</p>

3

<p>^^^ Does it really matter?</p>

<p>Back on topic: Your schedule seems doable,but only if you are extremely good at managing your time.</p>

4

<p>It’s doable, but your not going to have much free time. I don’t know why you would want to overload yourself with work. What’s the point?</p>

5

<p>What is the difference between AP Comp and AP English Lang? Did you mean Lit and Comp?</p>

6

<p>AP Comp could be AP Comparative Govt</p>

7

<p>Looks fairly intensive, but if you’re a strong student you can probably manage it. Don’t commit huge numbers of hours to working.</p>

8

<p>Is it doable? Yeah, I’d tap that. ;)</p>

9

<p>Your grading scale makes me green with envy but yea your schedule is doable, especially with the block scheduling thing. AP Bio is great btw.</p>

10

<p>AP computer science A. sorry about that.</p>

11

<p>Wouldn’t your couselor offer much more insightful advice?</p>

12

<p>^If they wanted the counselor to count the number of APs and recite that number to them, yep they could probably do just as good a job as anyone here. Maybe even better because they could say it, AND write it.</p>

<p>And anyway, that’s a pretty intensive schedule. If you’re a strong student and can commit a lot of time, do it. Otherwise, don’t.</p>

13

<p>Dude,I also envy your grading policy…</p>

14

<p>I read the thread title and think of “The Todd”…</p>

15

<p>Retake tests?! Yeah I would say it is more than doable with that grading policy.</p>

16

<p>I have 4 classes a day for 85 minutes :smiley: and here’s what my schedule is looking like as a junior next year
Pre-Calc
AP US History
AP Bio
AP Chem
Spanish 4 IB
English 11 IB
Anatomy</p>

<p>Basically I will see how well I can manage time with double AP sciences…which everyone says is impossible :O</p>

17

<p>^nah, seniors in my school double up on honors physics and AP bio all the time. Sure physics isn’t “technically” AP, but it is regarded as the hardest class in the school next to Calc and AP English</p>

18

<p>Well from what I’ve heard, AP bio is pretty easy stuff so I don’t think it will be that bad. I don’t know how AP physics and Ap chem are work wise, but I will be taking AP physics in my senior year</p>

19

<p>Oh crap, I didnt notice you are taking AP Chem and AP Bio. That changes the equation.</p>

<p>All I can say is, I hope your parents lock away all sharp objects. But both Chem and Bio are hard as crap at my school</p>

20

<p>Because nobody is replying to my other thread, let me condense it here:</p>

<p>Here are my options for my schedule:

  1. Take Band H as 7th course, like I am right now.
  2. Independent study Physics C as 7th course (and get the credit)
  3. Not take a 7th course and cash in some frees.</p>

<p>So, what do you guys think? I would take band, however:
I would stop taking band, but I’m not sure if stopping the playing of an instrument when the option to continue to play is available would look bad to adcoms. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy playing, but it isn’t supremely important to me compared to my other main ECs (math, debate) and I’m kind of a sucky player so it isn’t a huge benefit to my app.</p>

<p>Here’s my schedule so far for Junior year:
AP Chem
AP Bio
AP Euro
Precalc H
Spanish H
English H</p>

<p>(Note: No matter what happens, I am going to self study AP Calc BC (school won’t let us skip any math classes for budget reasons…) and AP Physics C (I’ve already taken B))
(Yes, I’m tripling up on AP sciences)</p>
