How "Rigorous" is "Too Rigorous"?

<p>Here is my schedule for next year, which will be junior year:</p>

<p>English Lang & Comp AP</p>

<p>Spanish 4H
-My options here are either 4H or 4H Lit, which is a prerequesite for AP Spanish Lit. I chose the class that is a prerequisite for AP Spanish Lang</p>

<p>Chemistry AP
-Either Chem or Physics B, since I heard Bio is a TON of outlining</p>

<p>Pre-calculus RSH
-RSH stands for research honors, which in our school is one level above honors, so I'm likely going to keep this class</p>

<p>Statistics AP
-I've heard VERY EASY in my school. Is 2 maths okay, though? I'm pretty interested in stats anyway!</p>

<p>US History AP
-I am taking Euro this year, and am pulling off a B+, maybe will raise it to an A- by the end of the year</p>

<p>Lunch</p>

<p>________?
-Should I take AP Psych or just leave this as a free period?</p>

<p>Thanks guys! Let me know what you think!</p>

<p>What you have so far looks rigorous but manageable! Is taking a free period very common at your school? If most top students don’t, it would be a nice break in a difficult courseload. </p>

<p>What sciences have you taken already? I’d personally reccomend taking classes in biology, physics and chemistry; if you’ve already taken all three, I don’t think one class is better than the other. </p>

<p>Good luck junior year!</p>

3

<p>Not too hard. I’ve seen people’s schedules completely loaded w/ APs.</p>

4

<p>That doesn’t look too hard. It’s well balanced and if you threw AP Psych into there, it would show colleges that you’re challenging yourself. But I would have to agree with fairlights to add some sort of physics in there. But you’ve got chemistry, which is great!</p>

5

<p>Yeah, Freshman year I took Honors Bio, Soph year (this year) I’m taking Honors Chem, and I plan to take AP Physics senior year. </p>

<p>I’m actually pretty interested in Psych, too, so I think I might actually add that and use my lunch period as a free. (sometimes teachers let us eat in class, so that might work out)</p>

6

<p>It doesn’t look too crazy :smiley: you could manage.
I heard psychology was pretty easy, so I would take that if I were you.</p>

7

<p>You seem to be in pretty good shape as far as rigor goes. You should go ahead and do Psych as it really isn’t that hard to begin with. :D</p>

8

<p>it all depends on yourself and how hard each of your teachers are in grading the classes- both of which you know better than us random strangers on the internet.</p>

<p>Bump! Any more opinions?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

10

<p>You should. AP Psych is very interesting and fun.</p>

11

<p>Take AP Psych. It’s usually not that hard in most schools and the material is pretty interesting.</p>

12

<p>Too rigorous is when you are constantly pulling all-nighters. As a matter of fact, IMO, if you are pulling more than 2 allnighters (finals excluded) in HS, it is too rigorous.</p>

13

<p>Not very rigorous especially for CC</p>

14

<p>In terms of CC not rigorous at all, lol. :)</p>
