<p>Hello!
I'm a junior in high school and I don't go to your typical high schools where there's a bunch of kids and work is done from textbooks. Rather, I go to a small school created by the superintendent and it can be very demanding. Almost everything is done on the computer. Everybody have their own laptops and we're required to get an internship during our junior and senior year, where we leave school after lunch and go to our internship. 10 HOURS PER WEEK.
That's the background story. But my biggest problem is with AP Classes. Since we pick our classes and the school is small, it can be hard for you to pick out personal preferences since they can overlap. Anyway, I am now enrolled to take 4 AP classes.
AP:
Calc AB
Chemistry
English Language and Comp
US History
AP calc and chem were the two classes that I wanted to take but I was left with 4 on my plate. I took an AP class during freshmen year (World History), which I was placed into and I was very immature and didn't know what was going on. I passed the class with a C and got a 2 on the exam. I am terrified to take 4 AP classes in 1 year. Another issue is that English is not my first language. It's my third, actually. I can say I've managed to get good grades and pass my standardized tests above passing scores and stuff. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to take AP English, yet I want to challenge myself. What should I do? What's your opinion? Will I be able to handle the pressure? PLUS my internship. I'm still a kid (15). Please voice your opinion from personal experiences or just basic instict. Thank you!</p>
<p>You’ve gotta ask yourself if you can handle it or not. No one knows you as well as you do. And AP Eng Lang is a really hard class. How well are you in English?</p>
<p>For me, AP English Lang was the best class I’ve ever taken, my teacher was fabulous and I learned so so so much. It wasn’t that challenging, just more time consuming (spending time analyzing rhetoric and writing long essays).
I would really advise you to take this class. </p>
<p>AP Chem was hard as hell (for me). But if you want to take it, go ahead!! It made me really humble. </p>
<p>I’ve heard APUSH is one of the easiest AP classes. However, I think it consists of a lot of memorization and time. </p>
<p>If I were you, I would take AP lang, chem and calc. GOOD LUCK!
I hope I helped? :)</p>
