<p>We're meeting with our guidance counselors next week to plan out next years classes, and I prevail upon your experience, CC, in choosing classes that won't have me bending over backwards to do well in them.</p>
<p>I'll be a junior, and am thinking about taking 3 AP classes (taking one right now, so I'll be jumping from 1 to 3). Are these a good combination of classes, or will they be too tough together?</p>
<p>-APUSH
-AP Language
-AP Biology</p>
<p>I'm also taking another science class, Honors Chemistry, because it's a special thing my school does with AP Bio, students take both AP Bio and Honors Chem.</p>
<p>I'll also be taking math and foreign language, nothing hard there though. </p>
<p>With good time management, how does that sound? Manageable?</p>
<p>Unless your school is extremely challenging, you should be fine. I’m taking AP Bio, Statistics, and US History at the same time and it’s not too bad. But the languages are harder than Stats.</p>
<p>I jumped from 0 to 4 APs and I’ll most likely end the semester with 5 As and 1 B, so I’m doing pretty well. Your schedule is definitely manageable. APUSH and AP Bio are more time-consuming than they are difficult, so as long as you devote a reasonable amount of time to them, you should have no problems. AP Lang has very little work… if you’re naturally a good writer, you’ll get an A, if not, you’ll have to spend some time practicing.</p>
<p>I think I’ll be good, especially since history’s always been easy (especially U.S history) and writing is a strong suit, so not too tough with good time management.</p>
<p>Well I went from 0 to 2 those same years, picking up Physics B and Calculus AB. I had no problems at all… my most difficult classes were probably Physics B and Honors US History II, honestly.
It’s not too big of a jump, especially if you do subjects you’re really good at (like I did).</p>
<p>Yeah you’ll be fine, although there will be some occasions where you will be freaking out. Especially around college app time. I jumped from 2 to 5, and so far my hardest class is actually Honors English. Maybe you’ll get lucky and you’ll have a teacher like my AP Government. No homework, but a ton of classwork. To be honest, I’d rather do classwork.</p>
