How good is this schedule for High School Senior Year (next year)?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

Hello. :slight_smile:

I am currently a junior and I am taking three AP courses: (US History, English III, and Physics I)

I have been already planning what to take next year and this is what I’ve come up with as of yet.

  1. AP English IV
  2. AP US Government
  3. AB Calculus
  4. Honors Pre-Calclus
  5. Speech / AP Psychology
  6. AP Physics II ( or should I take Chemistry AP?)
  7. ???

So yeah it’s incomplete, of course. Which is why I need help.

I ask if I should take AP Physics II and Chemistry AP at the same time, and I heard that AP Biology is easier in College.

Also I’ve been thinking about taking Pre-Cal over the summer to make one more space for another class, but it would cost money so…

So, if you take pre-calc over the summer, how will you do so? Summer school, online, etc? I think as of now you have a strong schedule. If you take pre-calc over the summer, then that would mean spaces #4 and #7 would be blank, correct? Are you on a block schedule?

Do you like science? What science classes have you already taken? What do you want to potentially major in or do in life? I would only take AP Chem and AP Bio if you really like science.

Yeah I was thinking an online course for precal, and if I take it over the summer then I will have two open spaces.
Oh yeah I forgot I also have option for Spanish III, but my school only requires 2 years. I don’t think I want to take spanish though.

Yeah, I feel like I should be doing Engineering, maybe Chemical Engineer, but I hear that AP Bio is really hard.

I have already taken Biology I, Chemistry I Honors, and currently taking AP Physics.

If you want to be an engineer, I recommend taking AP Bio, AP Chem, and AP Physics II. I heard AP Chem is slightly easier than AP Bio. Colleges like to see more than 2 years of a FL. Which schools are you applying to? I might be wrong about AP Chem though. I heard AP Bio has a lot more it covers, both are hard though. However, from what I’ve seen/heard AP Bio challenged more people than AP Chem did.

I feel like the best thing to do would be:
Junior Year: Spanish III and AP Bio or AP Chem
Senior Yeah: AP Physics II and AP Chem or AP Bio

Honestly, it just depends how confident you are with each subject.

You’ll need that 3rd year of a foreign language for college admissions.

=> not possible, you have to take Precalculus before you can take Calc AB. Did you mean 3. Precalc H (Fall Block), 4. Calc AB (Spring Block)?

AP Physics II would be best for a future engineer.

What colleges are you thinking of?
