I’m taking 2 APs this year - AP Bio and AP Lang. I plan to take many APs my senior year, but I’m worried about difficulty, workload, and college credit.
- MATH - AP Calculus AB or AP Calculus BC
• AB is what most students take
• BC is insanely hard at my school
• My Precalc Honors class has covered Limits and the past month and a half on Derivatives. Don’t know how much that would prepare me for AB/BC.
• My averages in Precalc H: 92 during Q1 and 95 during Q2.
- WORLD LANGUAGE - College Spanish
• We don’t offer AP Spanish so no help needed here.
3A. GOV. REQUIREMENT - AP US Government
• Definetely taking this. No question here.
3B. ECON - AP Macro or non-AP economics
• I’m interested in AP Macro
• However, the teacher has a reputation for not teaching and being a bad teacher in general, while giving insanely difficult exams.
• If I choose non-AP Economics there will be a drastic difference in homework
- OFF PERIOD OR AP HUMAN GEO
• Currently scheduled as a Lunch because I like having a period off every day
• However, I’m really interested in AP Human Geography and I’ve heard there isn’t a lot of workload
• If I do take Human Geo, I only have 1 period off every other day. No daily lunch.
- ENGLISH - AP English Lit or Non-AP English
• I’m currently in AP Lang right now. Average was 93 during Q1 and 88 during Q2.
• However, English is my weakest subject and I’m not very strong at analyzing literature for main Idea. My English SAT score was 690 which isn’t bad but my math was 790.
• English electives are super easy and very little work.
- APES
• Definetely taking this as well.
- APES / Off
• Regardless of taking AP Human Geo or not I will have one off (Lunch) period every other day.
- AP Stat
• I wanna take this because I feel it’s useful for college, was originally choosing between Human Geo and this and chose this because I wanted a lunch period. If I sacrifice my lunch period I can take both but I don’t have a period off every day.
- Health / Gym
• Have to take these.
I want a moderately difficult schedule that would award many college credits but have my life taken over with work.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks in advance for your help!
