<p>My schedule next year will be this:</p>
<p>AP Chemistry
AP US History
AP English Language
AP Psychology
AP Economics
AP Calculus AB
Spanish 4.</p>
<p>If you guys take any of these classes, how much homework do you get a night? I need a little insight and I understand that schools vary from place to place, in terms of work amount that is.</p>
<p>APUSH: prepare to read. You don’t have to worry much about reading the textbook except the night before chapter tests and so forth. However, if you plan on taking the AP exam, make sure you read Amsco + Crash Course thoroughly. Apart from reading, the homework isn’t that bad.</p>
<p>APLang: idk about your school, but our class was loaded with busywork. I remember staying up into the wee hours of the night to finish projects…a bunch of BS work.</p>
<p>At my old school, AP Psych was a crapload of work… vocabulary, essays, projects, the like. At my new school, it was just a ton of reading (it was an 18-week course, so about 100 pages a week between the text book and supplemental reading). Nothing intense, just a lot. US History wasn’t a lot of work either, just a lot of reading (thoroughly).</p>
<p>I took AP Biology, AP US, IB English HL, AP Economics, IB French, AP Stats, IB Math SL, and Physics Honors last year and I had about 2-3 hours of homework each night. It really isn’t as bad as you think it will be. During the lacrosse season, I got home at around 6 pm and finished my homework by 10ish, with dinner in between. It’s all about being able to do all your work when you have to, without being distracted by things like the internet or TV (I did that sometimes and it made me take a lot longer to finish my work). Good luck, that seems like a pretty tough schedule.</p>
<p>im guessing you will be a junior next year?</p>
<p>That will be a tough courseload in your first semester, I had a similar course load and I had around 3 hours of homework a night–but I did not do a lot of my homework or the amount of studying i should have done…but i pulled off all As and a 4.83…</p>
<p>your first semester will be the hardest you have ever worked in your life possibly, because you are just getting to know your classes
but second semester was pretty chill for me, because I knew exactly what i needed to do to get an A</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>I don’t have any AP Psych homework except to outline the chapter and hand it in the day of the test…so easy.</p>
<p>I did AP Calculus AB this year (sophomore). My teacher is simply the best ever - he has no trouble signing extensions or letting you turn in an assignment that is just front/back of the page. Homework is really meant to help you practice.</p>
<p>To answer your question, doing the whole assignment each night would have been ~45-60 minutes, but it was possible for me to do less. I usually did the whole thing just because I enjoyed it and had a light schedule otherwise.</p>
<p>APUSH is BAD. the others are okay, i think it’s only really history that’s bad. ive had most of the APs, and i did okay. honestly, APUSH alone, maybe 2 hours a night if u r fast-ive done 4, 5 hours sometimes, and def days of nonstop studying for tests; then again, i stink in history, cant remember dates, etc.
english, the sciences, maths, need some work, maybe 1 hour each; depends on the time. exam time/paper time is really tight, but some days i would have little to none due for anything (but APUSH). Also, do you work ahead on weekends? if you do, you might have some days free; when i worked ahead, i used to be able to have days with like 1 hour or even 1/2 hour total. but its your own schedule. if you do everything the night its due, it might be bad.
btw, i’ve had 6 APs in my senior year, and survived fine. it was an okay year. good indicator of college workload (for 16 credits, i mean).</p>
<p>it will be tough…i’d expect 3-4 hrs of hw…plus studying for tests if u wanna get all A’s and 5/4’s on the examp</p>
<p>I took 5 AP classes in school last year - 0 hrs homework. Took 1 online, and I did work whenever I wanted to pretty much. About 3 hours a week.</p>
<p>Then again, my online class was very good, while my school classes have like a 10% pass rate.</p>
<p>AP US History: about 30 pages of reading + an hour assignment to go with it due at the end of every week.
AP English Language: an essay to read and digest every night. an essay to write every week or 2. (gayest part about this class was being forced to annotate even if you understood better than everyone else what you read -.-)
AP Psychology: tons of bs homework. reading + taking notes on 1 chapter/week (30 pages)
AP Macroeconomics: easiest class in my high school career. even easier than my 9th grade health class -.- + it was fun as hell
AP Calculus AB: problem sets to do every night…took about half an hour, some people said it took them 30 min - 1 hour too so yea</p>
<p>all the classes i can reflect on. btw are you a junior or a senior?</p>
<p>For APUSH I usually had an hour of homework a night. I didn’t read the material though, so probably closer to 2 hours if I had. I don’t recommend you don’t read the material; definitely keep up on your reading or about a month before the test you’ll be freaking out and studying like a madman.</p>
<p>APUSH is a *****.</p>
<p>I think if you’ve got a good teacher for APUSH who knows her stuff and knows whats gonna be on the test it won’t be that bad. The whole second semester of my class was basically the same thing everyday which ended up in you having a packet to do that took about an hour.</p>
<p>AP US History: It took me about 45-1 hour to read the chapters just because when I read I soak up the information and will go back and reread sentences to make sure I remember. Other assignments included study guide worksheets which took about 15-20 minutes to do. I would recommend taking about 15 minutes a night at least to go over the chapter and read notes though.</p>
<p>AP English Language: About 1 - 1.5 hours of reading a night, a combination of books and essays.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry: I slacked off big time in this class senior year so I rarely did my homework. When I did, it took me about an hour to do the assigned problems (daily). So I would say 30 minutes to an hour on nights when you just have problems and I would say 1.5-2 hours on nights when you need to read a chapter.</p>
<p>7 AP Test this year</p>
<p>around 2-3 hours a night.</p>
<p>AP Calc: HW everynite but she is very flexible and we could turn it in a couple of days late</p>
<p>AP Econ: Idk for your school but my teacher never gave us HW, except a problem set as review for unit tests and econ commentaries for IB portfolio.</p>
<p>APUSH: our teacher was easy we just had to read.</p>
<p>AP Chem: Not much I think, I took last year and I cant remember having alot of hw.</p>
<p>AP Lang and Comp: A practice essay and MC every week and then analyze a bunch of essays and articles and reading.</p>
<p>AP Lit and Comp: Teacher is a joke, did MC every week and like 4 practice essays the WHOLE year, now we have busy work :(.</p>
<p>Its not that bad actually :)</p>
<p>Ap chem -I had a. Insanely hard teacher
So I have like a lot of hw every night
The homework helped for her tests and compared to her tests
The ap exam was a joke </p>
<p>That’s the only class u mentioned I took </p>
<p>From my personal experiences at my HS:
APUSH - 1-2 hours of reading, looking over notes, and doing notecards. We also had chapter focus questions to complete for all 43 or 44 something chapters. It was probably my hardest (in terms of efforts put forth and time consumed) one.</p>
<p>AP English Language - Not very much. My class is very relaxed and has more of an honors class feel to it. We did practice essays and read novels, pretty much. I never have much to do for it. </p>
<p>AP Psychology - Incredibly easy. We often have about an hour of homework, but for my class the homework is incredibly paced, around 2-3 assignments every week or so. It’s not that much work other than memorizing terms and applying them.</p>
<p>AP Calc AB - For what I expected, it’s not difficult at all. The calculus concepts were pretty interesting to me, compared to previous math, and most homework takes around 30 min - 1 hour to complete per night, and occasionally we might get class time to go over problems and such. The tests are the most difficult part, as well as formula memorization. </p>
<p>APUSH: About 1.5 hrs per chapter to read/do study guides, more if you do notes (I tried to but quit around the civil war) - this is because our textbook is in my opinion terribly boring, so it takes longer to read</p>
<p>CALC AB: assignments would take around 30 mins each, one per night, due the day of our test (collects about a month of hw at once) so most people do all of them in the last couple days before the test, easiest class i have.</p>
<p>CHEM: under an hour a night of notes or problems, a little more the night before tests, but lab writeups are time consuming. Overall not bad.</p>
<p>LANG: I’m taking a lit/lang class combined, but I think this depends a lot on your teacher. I know people with no work whatsoever, meanwhile my teacher gives a lot of work. Depends on the time you want to spend on it as well.</p>
