As of right now, I am a sophomore and this is my schedule for next year.
Honors Precalc
Honors Spanish IV
AP Biology
AP World History
AP Computer Science Principles
I am not sure whether to take AP Language and Composition or English III Honors. Is AP Lang. demanding? Will it be too much? BTW right now I am currently taking two AP and three honors classes (the most rigorous courseload available at my school).
Do you have any idea at this point what you would want to major in in college?
Are you thinking STEM?
Humanities?
or no idea?
How are your grades this year?
Assuming you are getting mostly A’s:
If STEM, I would consider having either English or History as Honors and the other as AP if you don’t think you could handle 4 APs.
If Humanities, take History and English as AP.
Wow. Okay some of these are hard classes. I do not know what kind of student you are but certainly AP English Lang is important. Do you have to take AP Bio and/or AP Computer Science? Honors Precalc at my kids school is incredibly difficult and time consuming. Spanish IV has been fine. If you are okay with your current load, maybe this is fine. Otherwise maybe sub AP English Lang over one of your other APs.
AP Lang can depend a lot on the teacher. Mine has a very laid back teaching style, and doesn’t assign a lot of busywork, which seems nice, but it also makes it so you can’t slip up at all if you want an A. My twin sister’s AP Lang teacher, on the other hand, is absolutely brutal. I wouldn’t be surprised if his class average was a C-. Ask current AP Lang students at your school about their teachers!
Considering all the other rigorous classes you’re taking, I’d say you’re fine without AP Lang, assuming you don’t plan to major in something writing/English related.
Can you take AP Lang senior year I’d you take English 3H?
Depending on how good at English you are, I’d suggest taking either Apush or AP Lang, or both and replacing AP bio with honors physics or AP physics 1 (either one will be less time consuming than AP bio, which you can surely take senior year.)
