<p>My school does not offer many AP classes. Sophomores are not supposed to take any, and if they do, they usually only take 0-1. I want to go to Ivy league and if not that, UNC Chapel hill (45 min from my house) or Elon University ( 1/3 mile from my house lol)</p>
<p>My school is small and does not offer a lot of classes but I want to be an overachiever.
So far I signed up for 2 but should I do three?
AP Psychology (easy)
AP Biology (I love science and biology)
AP... (I was thinking environmental science or AP english lang</p>
<p>I’m a sophomore taking AP Chem, AP World, and AP Comp Sci.
Those choices seem reasonable. Take AP English Lang for a challenge. Take AP Environmental Sci for an easier class. Depends on what other classes you are taking.</p>
<p>At my school Sophomores are only allowed to take 1 AP class: AP World History. My school does this because it prepares the students for more challenging AP classes. Sophomore is year is the kind of year where you break into things or get used to things. Some people take it easy Sophomore year, 1) Because there’s not much to take, and 2) They feel that they don’t need to take anything super challenging. If you feel like you can tackle these, go ahead, but I would recommend on taking one.</p>
<p>Because I meet the prerequisites! I have to take english 2 honors first semester to take AP lang. I have already take honors biology and psychology has no prerequisites</p>
<p>Oh, that’s cool. For us, I think we have to take one year of biology and one year of chemistry in order to take an AP science course(other than physics). Isn’t AP language a full year course?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if this question is towards me… I think it offers about 25-30 AP courses…they’re the usual…</p>

<p>I know this doesn’t add up to 25 AP courses, but I can’t think of more right now…</p>
<p>We have like 14 I thought that was a lot. No, most schools don’t offer that many APs. It’s mostly only affluent schools that do. There are plenty of schools that have 0-6ish</p>
<p>our school personally offers like 10.
I take a lot through virtual school though
AP Lang is only one semester at my school and AP lit is yearlong.
Oh and I have already taken Honors Biology and Honors Earth science</p>
<p>NCVPS. I go to a real high school. But they do not offer the AP classes I want so I have to take it through VPS. It is north carolna state funded</p>
<p>Okay so 10 AP courses. If you do 3 sophomore year, that leaves 7 to spread out through junior and senior. I think that’s a lot better than jamming them all into junior/senior. I would take AP Lang sophomore year as a third AP. Then junior/senior you could take 3/4. I mean I guess you could take more online too but there’s no need to have tons and tons. Make sure you have time for ECs and a life too.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend AP comp sci. I took the class my soph year with little Java experience at the start, but by the end, I was able to program a virtual game of Jenga using java. The program itself is pretty glitchy, to be honest, and the Jenga game has a max of two players, but it works. My favorite part of Jenga is when the tower collapses all over whoever’s turn it is. In order to replicate this on a compute, I programmed the game to eject every disc/cord that is attached to the computer. It’s not the same as a collapsing tower, but stuff falling out of a computer is the same basic concept. My teacher went nuts when I showed him, and he actually gave me a 0 on the project. I ended up failing out of the course, but it was pretty fun despite my failure!</p>
<p>Do any of these courses give you the opportunity to partake in board game-related activities? I took AP World History as a Freshman, and my teacher incorporated the use Apples to Apples in the curriculum. I can wholeheartedly say that I’ll never regret taking that class because of the fact that my teacher thought out of the box and used a game that’s such an American family staple and incorporated it into my learning experience. It was certainly life-changing. Board games in classrooms? What a crazy idea. I’m tearing up writing this post because that class and its use of board games brought me so much joy. </p>
<p>So, I’ll leave you with this: if the class will incorporate board game use, you finna take dat shiz or suffer the consequences.</p>
<p>I think you should take APUSH, too. The Gilded Age especially reminds me off Monopoly, which is a quality game. All those robber barons take all the wealth, just like I do every time I play monopoly. I think every quality APUSH teacher out there incorporates Monopoly into the Gilded Age, because it is such an important component of life. I know for a fact that without my childhood training in Monopoly, I would never be where I am today. I have learned to embody John D. Rockefeller, and someday I plan to form a similiar monopoly. Perhaps not on oil and not as blatantly because of those pesky anti-trust laws, but I’m sure I’ll find a way. Definitely take APUSH, or at least self-study it with a heavy Monopoly component.</p>
