<p>I'm going to be a sophomore next year, but I'm not sure if I can handle all this work...</p>
<p>AP Calc BC
AP World
AP Lang
AP Stats
AP Comp Sci
AP Physics 1</p>
<p>Do you guys think that's manageable? I need to get 5's on BC, Comp Sci, and Stats. Should I just not do Physics 1?</p>
<p>My brother is taking six AP classes as a sophmore and is taking it very well. He’s taking AP Calc BC, AP World, AP Stats, AP Chem, AP Environmental, and AP Psychology. </p>
<p>Only you can know if you can handle this schedule. If you’re trying to get into ivy league schools, then you’ll be fine with just taking 3 AP classes your sophmore year. It’s better to take 3 AP classes and get all A’s then take six AP classes and get all B’s. </p>
<p>In my experience it’s easier to get fives on AP exams when you’re taking fewer AP exams and can focus on the few you have. Good luck.</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice! I do need to be prepared to stay up all the time, correct?</p>
<p>No, you need to be prepared to manage time all the time so that you can still sleep. It’s not that bad if you stay organized. I’m in 5 APs and I still prioritize sleep, and I’m mentally and physically much better off for it.</p>
<p>It really all depends on you. If you have never taken an AP class before, it might be better for you to ease into the APs and fill up your schedule with them when you are a junior and senior. So I would suggest only taking the ones you want to get 5s on when you are a sophomore. But really, it depends on you. Also… does your school allow you to drop classes that are too hard at the beginning of each year? Then you could sign up for all five and then drop the ones that you can’t handle then.</p>
<p>You must hate yourself.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice! Yeah, my school allows that. I think that could be a good option for me. And no, I love myself. Go away.</p>
<p>Depends on how much of a social life you want</p>
<p>That’s just sl muvh work.
Many drop Physics and World. They both have a lot of work.
Save some APs for later years!</p>
<p>Yes, You should take no more than 2-3 as a sophomore. Learn to enjoy life.</p>
<p>I’d like to say no, but it’s really a matter of individual circumstance. I took 7 as a junior and had a hard time balancing extracurriculars and wasn’t able to get all 5s (although I did pass them all). But I did it. I did burn out at times, but always caught up. It’s probably a better idea to take 4 or so (in many schools, only one or zero AP class is available to tenth graders) unless a top 2% class rank depends on your taking 6 APs.</p>
<p>Is your worth ethic good or are you good at managing your time? Because otherwise, you shouldn’t do it.</p>
<p>It all depends on what you’re like. I’m a sophomore in 4 APs and a DE, and it’s perfectly fine for me. I know, I’m not taking 6, but it should be fine if you’re smart.</p>
<p>The only problem with taking 6 ap classes as a sophomore is that you will barely have any ap classes to take when you’re a senior.</p>
<p>you will have little ec’s.
Did you skip 8th grade, cause last year you said u got a 1440 Sat score in 7th grade from another post.</p>
<p>I would only bank on the dropping classes option if you think you will only drop 1 or 2 of them (also remember that if you drop you will get put in the classes that aren’t full yet, and these may not be classes you want to take). If you drop more, many scheduling conflicts may arise, so just keep that in mind.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
