Junior Schedule Help

<p>I this is my planned Junior schedule so far:</p>

<p>AP Chemistry
AP English Lang
AP US History
AP Calculus BC
Spanish 4
Physics Honors</p>

<p>I may take AP Computer Science as well, but is this course load too hard already? All the teachers have great pass rates (80% or higher). My Chemistry teacher teaches AP Chem and my Calc AB teacher teaches Calc BC. They are both great and teach well so I shouldnt have any problem with them. The students in APUSH are known for getting a lot of 5s in the class. The AP Eng Lang teacher is known for giving pop quizzes and seems super crazy. I dont know much about the AP Comp Sci teacher.</p>

<p>Overall, is this schedule possible in terma of difticulty? I'm interested in all of them so it's just for GPA purposes or how good I look to colleges (although they are added bonuses!)</p>

<p>The only thing is, if I take this Junior schedule, then my Senior Year will be jam packed:</p>

<p>AP Physics B
AP Eng Lit
AP Spanish Lang
AP Spanish Lit
AP Statistics
AP Macro/ AP Gov (they are one semester each)
Pharm Tech</p>

<p>I won't be able to take AP Psych (which I am super interested in and the teacher has a high pass rate) or AP European History (not as interested since I am more of a science/math/foreign lang person but would be interesting to take) or take Senior Privileges (free period).</p>

<p>AP Physics B at my school allows a few students to skip honors and go straight to AP but I dont know how successful those few are. AP Spanish Lang also allows a few students to take the class after Spanish 3 instead of Spanish 4 but only two students have done that, both valedictorians. I am also worried about the difficulty of the class if a year is skipped.</p>

<p>What do you guys think? I really need some advice.</p>

<p>I depends on what your good at, and how the classes are at your school.
Are all of these at school, or are some self-study?</p>

3

<p>Also, what part of Florida are you in?</p>

4

<p>They are all at school. I mostly good at math and science, especially science. I get good grades in history and english too so AP classes in those fields shouldn’t be too much for me.</p>

<p>Here is University of Florida’s AP credit chart:

<p>Note that it does not really help to take both AP Spanish Language and AP Spanish Literature, other than having two tries at the tests.</p>

<p>AP Physics B counts only for the non-calculus physics, probably for biology majors (not for physics or engineering majors).</p>

<p>AP Statistics counts for only the lowest level one semester introductory statistics course.</p>

<p>^ Thank you for the links. :)</p>

<p>I will be majoring in biology or chemistry, so Physics B should count for me. I found out from the AP Physics teacher at my school that it’s not advised to take AP Chem and AP Physics at the same time. Plus, AP Chem and AP Physics are in the same period, so I would have to choose one anyways.</p>

<p>Which one would you say is more important: AP Spanish Language or AP Spanish Literature?</p>

<p>And would taking AP Statistics just be out of interest since it is low as you say? Should I not consider it?</p>

<p>For chemistry, you will likely have to take the same physics that physics and engineering majors take (check the colleges you are interested in).</p>

<p>UF counts AP Spanish language and literature the same for placement.</p>

<p>Statistics is commonly used in biology, although you should check with the colleges to see if statistics is required and (if so) AP statistics is accepted. Knowing statistics is good in general, although you will have the option (or possibly the requirement) to take a more in-depth statistics course in college if you like.</p>

<p>What the hell? I need that at my school :p.</p>
