How much is too much? AP Classes

I seem to struggle with this every year. I can never decide how many AP classes to take to get that perfect balance where I am challenged but not overworked. My school is switching to a block schedule and I have these classes down as classes I am definetly taking. The left class is 1st semester and the class on the right is 2nd semester. Some of the APs I am taking are year long, even with block schedule.

1st period- AP Econ. AP ???
2nd period- AP Stats. Latin 3
3rd period- AP Chem. AP Chem
4th period- AP Lang. AP Lang.

I took AP Bio and AP U.S. gov freshman year making a 4 and a 5 respectively. Sophomore year I took AP Physics 1, AP Computer Science, and AP World History. I ranked 1st in my class, Vice President of my 4H club, and on my marching band’s leadership. In the past I have been able to handle the workload well and actually enjoy it but my question is what should I fill that final slot with? Should I take an elective? What about AP Euro or AP Psych? Thanks.

I did both Euro and Psych this year. If your more of a science sort of person, do Psych but if your more of a history person, do Euro. They’re both great classes.

Thanks for the advice. How can I determine if I can handle all of them though?

As a Junior, I had 2 AP classes, 1 DE and 5 Regular (one of them was a half year online). Next Year, I will have 4 AP Classes (3 are online), 1 DE enrollment class (half year), and 4 Regular (3 of those are half years). Their is no way to determine it, you either dive in fully or you don’t.

So it’s basically a gamble?

Well, you know how you performed with your current schedule, so that gives you a starting point. Based on your past courses, this looks doable.

Question - is AP Econ both micro or macro? If so, that seems to be a lot to jam into a semester even with block scheduling. That’s the only one that looks questionable to me at this point.

It’s not a total gamble but yes. I agree that doing both AP Econ’s would be horrible.

It is just Macroeconomics, sorry I should have specified. Thanks for the help!

No problem. If micro is an option for Spring, I would suggest that. If not, flip a coin between Euro and Psych. Chooses whichever one you like better.
