In my high school which has only 4 classes per semester I can take AP English Language & Composition and AP US History as a combo A/B day class ( takes 1st and 2nd semester )in which I have a English 3 credit and American History 1 and 2 and because I love History a lot, but also I want to take AP Biology (takes 2 places on schedule )because I just love science
Please help me.
Your question is hard to understand. What’s the problem exactly?
Are AP classes a period both semesters?
I’m a bit lost with what you wrote. You would have two classes all year taking up two periods of 4. that would leave you 4 semesters worth of classes? Why do you need two ELA classes in one year (unless one is an elective?)
You could take
AP History all year
AP English all year
American History all year (both parts)
2 half year classes
or AP History all year
Ap English all year
AP biology 2 periods semester 1
and 2 classes 1/2 year each
Is this correct otherwise I’m lost?
This is a question for your guidance counselor. She or he can tell you what options you have. This will be based on your state and what your school allows.
the apush is yearlong also like ap lang, and ap bio is yearlong
like one is for my major and the other is to get american history out of the way and history is my passion just like science
Ok: taking 3 AP’s (AP English, AP Bio, APUSH) would block 6/8 class blocks in your schedule, right?
1° Take EITHER AP History OR US History. Or better yet, take APUSH. Take another AP History class senior year. There’s no point in taking regular US history and APUSH.
2° your remaining classes MUST be Math and Foreign language
what I got is just do those and math 3 (algebra 2) and chemistry (since I can take apbio cocurrently with chemistry) but I will have already completed my 2 levels of foreign language which both are Chinese
Stopping as a sophomore&Level 2 is a bad move: That will block you from many 4-year universities (the standard is 3 years, and 4 if you’re aiming for very selective universities).
You need Math3, then precalculus (again as a minimum for 4-year college admission). Preferably, if aiming for STEM, calculus. If not aiming for STEM, statistics.
You don’t need to take 2 sciences the same year. However you do need one year each of biology, chemistry, and physics +, if aiming for STEM, one of those at the AP level (such as AP Bio) and, if NOT aiming for STEM, either APES or any other science course.
For a more competitive college, even as a humanities major, APES is the poor sister to an AP science. Same with calc, though there’s some give, if everything else lines up strongly. Of course, youhave to understand what’s meant by “strongly.”
The competition is that fierce. And more motters, too, which you want to get an idea of.
I am aiming for a Molecular Biology major with a Chemistry minor.
Then you need math through Precalculus honors or calculus, AP Bio and ap chem (+ physics honors). That’s even for your flagship university.
