Foreign language or AP class?

<p>Is foreign language better than an AP class? I am currently taking French, but next year (junior year) if I keep learning French I won't be able to take an AP class. I still will have more AP classes junior year, I just won't be able to take that AP class. So what is better, sticking with foreign language junior year or having an AP class instead? Also does it matter that I already speak Spanish since I'm a native speaker? I mean, it's not like I need to learn a second language.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>What AP class is it that you want to take?</p>

3

<p>Probably AP Environmental Science.</p>

4

<p>Nevermind, I have the answer to my question.</p>

5

<p>Take the AP foreign language of course!</p>

<p>Except don't, if you're not ready for it, becuase failing it would look horrible on your transcript.</p>

<p>I'm in an AP language class this year, it's not so bad</p>

6

<p>Well then I assume next year you are taking French III? I would take French III and then get French AP in senior year.</p>

7

<p>There is no French AP. Today I'll maybe talk to my counselor and I'll ask her whether taking a foreign language is necessary and if I can switch out of French.</p>

8

<p>um...AP enviromental Science...that's just as bad as not taking an AP. Go with the language.</p>

9

<p>So out of these four (AP European History, AP Environmental Science, AP Physisc, and AP American Government) which one is the best, since I can only take one next year due to scheduling conflicts? Also, how would it seem to colleges if I only took seven out of twelve AP classes because, due to scheduling conflicts and the fact that I need to take Physical Education as a required class, I can't take all of them?</p>

<p>r u askin which is harder? ap physics by far</p>

11

<p>Well if you want to major in any thing math science oriented I would go with physics, or maybe enviromental science, but personally i would choose government because that is what interests me most. Just choose what you are most interested in.</p>

12

<p>Don't most colleges have a Gov requirement for freshman year? </p>

<p>If you go to a college that accepts AP scores, you could save yourself a giant lecture hall and all the class money by passing the gov test.</p>

<p>But really, it's all up to your personal preference. :D</p>

13

<p>At our school, Government is for seniors (and some juniors).</p>

<p>Buuut if I were you, I'd pick what you're most interested in.</p>

<p>All right, thanks everyone.</p>

<p>I have the SAME dilemma. I just dropped AP French to take AP Enviromental Science... because I took AP French for two weeks and I HATED it with a passion. (prob because my teacher was an insane nazi and yeah...)</p>
