<p>Hon Bio
Hon Eng
Hon Alg 3-4
Span 5-6
Digital Media 1-2
PE</p>

<p>I'm taking next year:
AP Bio
AP Euro
Spanish 7-8 (no honors offered)
Honors Humanities (10th year hon. eng)
no pe, so I'm considering AP Chem (without honors chem)
AP Calc AB (without precalc)</p>

<p>will i succeed? my EC's are:
fall:
Key club
quiz bowl
Peer counseling
Water Polo (high school)
synagogue hebrew tutor on sundays</p>

<p>winter:
key club
quiz bowl
peer counseling
club swim
synagogue hebrew tutor on sundays
academic league
science olympiad</p>

<p>spring:
Swim (high school)

peer counseling
synagogue hebrew tutor on sundays
academic league
california scholarship foundation</p>

<p>will i be ok, especially with the chem and precalc? im really good at math and im self-studying honors chem right now (and i plan to self-study precalc over summer)</p>

<p>I would imagine that taking calc ab w/o pre-calc is pretty unnecessary as a sophomore, but whatever I guess. That might be pushing it, but everything else is pretty normal.
edit: I just saw you’re gonna take AP chem without honors chem. That is ■■■■■■■■. You are clearly underestimating math/science AP’s. You can’t just show up and get them like you can in honors freshman classes.</p>

<p>You can probably pull AP Chem without Honors Chem if the teacher is good. </p>

<p>That’s the only AP test that I’ve failed, but my teacher was the epitome of awful teachers. Ask around at your school. </p>

<p>At my school, precal has NOTHING to do with calculus. As long as you have some background in trig and you can do some basic algebra, you’ll do fine in calc ab.</p>
