How is my schedule?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi, I'm a rising 10th grader....and I'm not sure if my classes are challenging ...</p>

<p>In 10th grade, I'm taking
english (a harder course),
biology,
chemistry,
physics,
history,
PE,
health,
IB Math SL year 1,
a modern language </p>

<p>since I plan to do IB, my current plan is:
Junior year : </p>

<p>IB Bio HL year 1
IB Chem HL year 1
IB English HL year 1
IB [modern language] SL year 1
IB business management SL year 1
IB Math SL year 2</p>

<p>Senior year : would be the same, but everything being year 2, and I might take another elective about the human body because I plan to become a doctor.</p>

<p>Since I did triple A in ninth grade, I can do IB Math HL in my sophomore year. Currently, I signed up for SL, but I don't know if it would be too much if I do HL math, because I would have 4 HLs. </p>

<p>What do you think?</p>

<p>I think you should do some APs (if your school offers) otherwise, it's fine. If you're a really good math student, do HL math. HL math is really hard and you should only take it if you're planning to go into some mathematically based or scientifically based.</p>

<p>I want to become a doctor..so would HL Math be necessary? or just more stress?</p>

4

<p>If you're gonna be a doctor, I would assume you need really high math. There's always time in college, though, to take the class that HL math covers. I would say take it because I'm a huge math nerd and that I would assume that a lot of doctors may need to know some of the material, but it's not a necessity.</p>

<p>You do need to know some math, but from what ive heard its just up to calc and stats that you need for med school</p>

<p>Why on earth are you taking bio, chem, and physics all at once?</p>

7

<p>^^It makes science seem a lot more interconnected.
A very rewarding experience, if done properly.</p>

<p>Probably because he fell behind, or wasn't on the honors/IB track</p>

<p>If you like science... If not, it'll be hell for you :P</p>

<p>Well, bio is mandatory, and chem is just a prep course for IB which I will be doing Higher level, and physics is a score that i need for schools other than the states, like Taiwan, since I will not be doing IB or AP physics in my senior and junior year.</p>
