I’m going into my Sophomore year of high school and am having trouble judging what I can handle. How does this schedule sound?
Pre calculus
AP WH or Human Geo
English II
Spanish II
Chemistry
AP Bio or Environmental Science
AP Stats
One or two non-acedemic electives
A few of these might be honors classes, depending on availability. I’m worried that 3 APs might be too many, especially the two math classes. If I take stats I will not choose both bio and WH, but I might drop stats and take those. Any insight into the amount of homework/general difficulty would be appreciated.
Have you taken biology already? How well did you do?
AP Human Geo is a gentler introduction to AP social science then AP WH.
If you want AP stats as an elective, take it when it’ll seem easy and fun (senior year).
Take an art elective and a class that you find interesting. 7 courses would be plenty - 8 or 9 sounds like it’d be too much, especially since you’ll be taking APs for the first time and two to boot.
I would say the hardest class on your schedule/the one that would require the most studying is AP Bio. If you did well in your freshman bio class, then by all means take it. If not, APES is definitely another alternative.
