Is this workload too much for a junior?

This is my schedule for next year:
AP Calc AB
AP Physics C
AP Econ
AP Seminar
AP Chem
I will have two study halls each 45 min. per day. How much homework should I expect? Also, is taking physics C concurrently with calc AB too hard? Thanks!

That depends on the Junior.

Our school limits GPA weighting to 6 AP courses worth as a Junior, and several people max out, so we students that get by with this schedule, plus 1 more AP, plus required gym/health. But those are obviously the top students in the school.

How heavy was your Sophomore course load, and how did you get by? I would expect 2-3 hrs of HW per night, and you should be able to do an hour of that in your study halls, I would think.

This isn’t a very good schedule.

  1. some colleges don’t accept AP seminar as equivalent to English. Check with each college on your list to see if they’re okay with it or if you’ll be missing an English credit.

  2. taking AP physics C and AP chem together is a bad idea. Both are the most hardcore science APs. They require labs. O, they’re not only very difficult but also very time consuming. I’d drop one. How well did you do in chem honors and AP physics 1 or Honors Physics?

  3. No foreign language: have you reached level 4 or AP?

  4. what does your GC think?

  5. what’s your current GPA? What colleges are you aiming for?

Taking these AP classes at once should not be too hard as long as you study ahead of time for the AP exams.
However, you should think about whether you really need all these AP classes because if you go into college, it might not be the best idea to replace taking the class with AP credit because those courses are prereqs for higher level courses and often times college classes are more difficult and fast paced than in high school.
