How is this as my senior high school schedule?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Almost everyone I know has AP Government and AP Macro during different semesters. I'm just not sure if having both the same semester would be too much? I don't know how hard the classes are :S I'm thinking about flipping my 4th period, meaning I will have humanities first semester and AP Macro 2nd, but I don't know if that's just unnecessary to do? This is what my schedule looks like for the school year. The "/" it's a 1 semester class, so the first one is first semester and the second is second semester.</p>

<ol>
<li>AP BIO</li>
<li>AP Calc AB</li>
<li>AP US Gov/Pathophysiology</li>
<li>AP Macro/Humanities</li>
<li>Symphony Orchestra</li>
<li>DC Eng IV</li>
<li>AP Japanese IV </li>
</ol>

<p>I am also an officer in Orchestra, GSA, Dug Out Dolls, and Japanese Club. Besides that, I am planning on doing Japan Bowl, joining Interact and HOSA. Besides clubs, I also have a job at Hollister. </p>

<p>I've been told different things by many people, like taking AP Gov and Macro the same semester would be too much, or taking both the same semester would be just fine. </p>

<p>However, if AP Macro is not required in college, I don't think I'll be taking the AP test, but I am not sure, it all depends. </p>

<p>Should I switch the semester classes around for my 4th period, or will I be okay and the classes won't be that bad altogether?</p>

<p>Taking them in separate semesters is the standard at my school, too. If I were in your position I’d do that.</p>

<p>Oh I just want to include to everybody that these are the only things making me not want to switch.

  1. It’ll help my graduating GPA
  2. It’ll help my graduating rank (My school is extreeemely competitive considering we have a magnet school as a part of my school as well, and we are all ranked together)
  3. I know more people in the class that particular semester (which helps me feel more comfortable and less awkward in classes when I know people;we have a website where we can check who’s in our classes if they make an account)
  4. My second semester will be less stressful</p>

<p>That schedule looks difficult. 4 ap classes in one year can be very hard. Good luck</p>
