<p>Next year will be my senior year and I'm unsure about what my schedule should be and what I should self-study.</p>
<p>Already Done:
Microecon
Macroecon
Stat
Calc BC
AP USH
AP US Gov
AP English lang
Psych</p>
<p>Possibilities (actual classes):
AP English Literature (Great Teacher)
AP Physics B ( Fits in very well w/ schedule)
AP Bio (I don't want to do this class, takes up 2 periods)
AP Euro (Interesting!)
AP Environmental Science (Don't want to do this class, large outside-of-school commitment)
AP Comparative Gov (Easy Class)
AP Chem POSSIBLY (may not have a teacher)</p>
<p>Possibilities (Free Online)
AP World
AP Human Geo
Computer Science AB (Interested/Scared about this)
AP Art History (Do I need a strong artistic background)
AP Latin Virgil
AP Latin Lit.</p>
<p>Self-Study
Chem and Bio take up two class periods.
I think I could self-study Bio pretty easily, I aced SAT II Bio.
Should I take AP Latin online or should I just take latin IV and V at school and self-study?
Since I know calc, I might try to take physics B and self-study the two Physics Cs</p>
<p>English Lit and Bio</p>
<p>AP euro- i loved it. very interesting. neither the most difficult nor the easiest but if you like history, it's great. i actually enjoyed studying for it because it's pretty interesting to read. but then again. i love history
AP comp govt-interesting
AP Human Geo- not that hard. just get a good review book and read it
AP Art History- correlates very well with eurohistory. you don't need to be an expert in art but knowing eurohistory really really helps. i hear from friends who took art and euro this year that it went well together.
AP World-im going to try self studying it. i heard it was a difficult exam but the postexam responses from today seems like it was easy. it's just ALOT to cover.</p>
<p>but like i said. i love history and i dig the humanities classes.</p>
<p>I would self study bio</p>
<p>and actually take:
AP English Literature
AP Physics B
AP Euro
AP Comparative Gov (Easy Class)</p>
<p>And then take AP Computer Science or Art History online. For Art History you don't need to be an artist or anything, don't worry.</p>
<p>And maybe AP Chem if you have a teacher. I really liked this class.</p>
<p>What website can ypu take the free aps on by the way??</p>
<p>Euro Hist: Loved the class...loved the teacher. Obviously some of it will be dry, but a lot of history in Europe is intense scandals...which are always fun</p>
<p>English Lit: Obviously...who doesn't take english lit? This is the worst english class Ive ever taken, but it's really all because of the teacher. I actually enjoy what we read (most of the time), but the teacher really sucks.</p>
<p>Physics: all of my friends who are in physics think it is EXTREMELY difficult, but near the end of the year, they all started to enjoy it because it's just plain interesting stuff to know. This one guy in my calc class explained how a guitar works through both calculus and physics equations. it was so cool. Besides math geniuses, I bet most people think physics is hard...so nothing too strange. </p>
<p>Hum Geo: seems like such an interesting class to me.</p>
<p>Do human geo the night before like I am. Most of the stuff is common sense anyways...</p>
<p>ahah 8 hours till the exam and im only on chapter 6 of barrons, but im not all that worried. the exam should be fairly easy if you have good common knowledge.</p>
<p>phyiscs and English at the least....</p>
<p>Don't take any, you're going to fail all of them. Go to a community college and major in automobile mechanics.</p>
<p>I am taking APs for free online at North Carolina Virtual Public School.</p>
<p>If you don't live in NC, I can't help you, although I know North Carolina isn't the only state with a free virtual public school where you can pursue dual enrollment.</p>
<p>My Preliminary Schedule is:</p>
<ol>
<li>Euro</li>
<li>Lit</li>
<li>Comparative</li>
<li>Latin Teacher Cadet (Advanced Independent work and tutoring latin students, could prep for vergil or lit)</li>
<li>Physics</li>
<li>Latin IV</li>
<li>(Blank)</li>
<li>(Blank)
7 and 8 are for chem if possible
if not I probably won't take APs those periods</li>
</ol>
<p>Self-Study:
Bio
Geo
World</p>
<p>Online:
Art History
Comp Sci AB</p>
<p>bump!
Still want some more advice on course selection
and
How easy is APES to self-study?</p>
