Is this one of the hardest schedules you guys have ever seen?

<p>I'm going to be a junior starting this sept. </p>

<p>Classes
- AP Bio
- Ap Lang
- Ap US
- Physics Honors
- Precalc
- Latin 3
- Finance</p>

<p>So that's 3 aps and 1 honors course. </p>

<p>Thank you in adv for the advice and suggestions.</p>

<p>My question is "Do you guys think it's wise to self study 2 more APs"?
- Aps I'm considering self studying are Psychology and Physics B</p>

<p>On top of self studying 2 more APs I also have to study for the SATs and 4 SAT IIs.
SAT II- Bio, US, Math 2, Physics B</p>

<p>So that's about 10 Official Tests I have to take. On top of this I'm also volunteering at a hospital.</p>

<p>The last questions I have are am I allowed to register for 4 SAT IIs and approximately how much money would it cost me to take 7 tests (I'm already registered for AP Bio, Us, Lang)?</p>

<p>Not by far. haha (at least on CC) but that is a very demanding schedule for junior year. I had almost your schedule exactly except I was in AP Latin and Pre-Clac H with American Studies instead of finance. Well, maybe it was a bit different. I did find it very challenging especially since I did my AP Bio at MIT on Sundays (insane with school 6 days a week). </p>

<p>But see how it goes. SAT/SAT II’s are not bad to study for. As far as adding on another two AP tests- if you find that you are struggling or just don’t have the time to do it, then don’t. If you were going to self study for one, I would recommend AP psych. </p>

<p>Good Luck :)</p>

<p>Thank you for the input. Wow you took AP Bio at MIT…Must’ve been insane. Good luck to you this year.</p>

<p>That’s kinda a lot…</p>

<p>it doesn’t look as hard as mine</p>

<p>My Junior Year
AP Chem
AP US
AP Lang
AP Psych
Spanish IV
Pre-Calc Honors</p>

<p>My Senior Year
AP Bio
AP Macro Econ
AP US Govt.
AP Lit
AP Spanish
AP Calc BC
AP Music Theory
Physics Honors</p>

<p>So to answer your question. No. But, it’s still good. Don’t give up, haha. CC people are schoolophilliacs, its really a sickness.</p>

<p>So Academicterror, let me guess:</p>

<p>After hearing that there are a bunch of people with more demanding schedules, you’re going to do something to your schedule to make it more challenging? </p>

<p>Quite frankly, I’ve never physically met anyone who has taken more than 2 AP courses. So I’d say that schedule would be quite challenging. </p>

<p>Honestly, it really depends on your school. I’ve heard of schools which make AP’s 10x more challenging than it should be and schools that don’t even cover half the material AP courses should cover.</p>

<p>I don’t know I think I’m switching out of Precalc regs and taking Precalc honors…Just for the fun it I guess.</p>

<p>The sad true reality of CC is that there are always people on this forum with better stats and willing to brag about it at any given chance.</p>

<p>That schedule is probably in the top 5 percent of students at my school, but on CC it’s below average. Of course CC standard schedules aren’t meant for the clinically sane.</p>

<p>I would self study psych and not physics and wait until you had calc for that.</p>

<p>thanks for the advice. Wow I didn’t I was a scrub compared to the people on CC. I feel sort of dumb now.</p>

<p>No, but it obviously depends on your school, teachers, and work ethic. At my school, that would be a piece of cake.</p>

<p>nope, i think that schedule sounds perfect! at least in my school it’s prettty normal, because they don’t offer many aps. I remember the most aps one of my classmates had during junior year was like 4 aps:</p>

<p>latin
english
chem
us history</p>

<p>and there were very vew ap latin people, so most of the smarter people had at most 3 aps. good luck! :D</p>

<p>Thanks good luck to u too</p>

<p>not at all.</p>

<p>Addendum: I didn’t mean to imply that you are somehow below the curve with my post above. You would be just about average for relatively serious students at my school - definitely not the bottom crust! I’m just saying that the actual workload from those classes at my school is not time-consuming or difficult.</p>

<p>I know how you feel though. CC definitely makes me feel dumb, haha :)</p>

<p>Lol, I came into this thread expecting another CCer w/ 8 AP classes and further self-studying another 10…</p>

<p>Also will be starting junior year:</p>

<p>AP Calc BC
AP Comp Sci A
AP Lang
AP US
Spanish 4H (essentially AP but they want to give it to students over two years instead of one, but to do that they can’t call it AP)
Regular Physics (My school has a weird requirement that you have to take physics before AP Chem, and I didn’t want to take AP Bio or AP Envi, so I chose physics)
Social Studies Research (an independent study)</p>

<p>And then self-studying AP Comp Gov and AP Human Geo (Because Social Sciences is my thing and those tests are two of the easiest)</p>

<p>And then taking a class in Arabic on Saturdays</p>

<p>And yes I need to do these things to make up for (slightly) messed up grades</p>

<p>Sorry I just had to get that all out there, haha
I know a kid taking the same thing as me, except instead of Reg physics, he’s doubling up on AP Physics C AND AP Chem. He’s freakin’ insane</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>toshimelonhead hit it on the nail.</p>

<p>FYI: Never, ever try to compare your classes to someone else’s on CC. You’ll feel like a Neanderthal.</p>

<p>This forum has a lot of academic chest-thumping. It’s kind of dorky, no offense.</p>
