<p>Does this look like a good junior schedule? </p>
<p>■■■■■. you also asked about a sophomore schedule.</p>
<p>Yes I did. I was wondering if it would be a better idea to double up with Chem and Bio or Chem and Physics, so I posted my projected junior schedule to see if it was too much/if I should trade off some of the less difficult AP classes I’m taking this year to junior year.</p>
<p>The AP physics B exam doesn’t exist anymore so check if your class still exists. Yes it’s a very good schedule, so try not dying junior year.</p>
<p>Really, it’s not? So I’d just go with Physics C? Would I be prepared even though I’d be taking BC at the same time?</p>
<p>Truthfully I wouldn’t suggest taking AP physics C and chem at the same time unless you think you can handle it.</p>
<p>What would it take to handle it? I’m not very familiar with the courses as far as workload! Thanks for all of the help btw :)</p>
<p>Nice schedule! It seems pretty tough. I would recommend that you take either AP Physics Junior year, and AP Chemistry Senior year, or vice versa. I’m assuming you’ve already taken Calc AB (b/c you’re taking BC) so if you’re a good math student, you can pull off AP Physics. If you aren’t, wait till you’re done BC and take AP Physics senior year, take AP Chem as a junior</p>
<p>I think that AP Chem and AP Physics C at the same time is overkill. That said, I’d suggest you gauge how your sophomore year goes, and next Spring assess whether this schedule is viable for your junior year.</p>
<p>makes sense! thanks so much! </p>
<p>My junior year schedule was very very similar to yours last year (minus the Spanish Language - I took 3rd year Chorus instead since I dropped Spanish). I would just like to give you a heads-up that you will have basically no life if you want to do well (not that it’s a problem - I’m sure you’ve already considered it, but just be prepared for a TON of stress, especially come April exam prep time). Chem, Calc, and Physics B kind of went hand in hand, a lot of what we talked about in physics helped me in chem, and the calc math helped me in physics, and so on. It ultimately depends on what your strengths are. If you are a math person, you will generally do okay (relatively). If you are not a math person, reconsider. You might want to drop one or two of the STEM courses.</p>
<p>For the physics, considering B is no longer an option, I would reconsider taking C since it is calc-based. Have you taken AB Calc? I have friends who took B first along with Calc BC and then went on to C their senior year and STILL found it really really challenging. Have you taken physics before? If so, you might be in a slightly better position. Physics B was my first-ever physics class, and I struggled first semester quite a bit conceptually. If I had taken C along with Calc BC, I would have found myself not only struggling with the physics but also struggling with the math. Just something to think about.</p>
<p>Other than that, AP Lang was really easy and APUSH was okay as long as you keep up with the reading. I fell behind a lot and would have to do serious catch-up before tests. Can’t comment on Spanish Language but generally I’ve heard it’s challenging.</p>
<p>Hope that helps! :)</p>
<p>I had friends who had a similar schedule as you this last year. I considered taking Physics B and Chemistry simultaneously but decided against it because I thought it would be too stressful. Now that I finished junior year, I know that Physics B by itself was almost too much for me to handle (well prior to taking Physics B, I had not taken a physics class before). For senior year, I will be taking Calc BC with Physics C and chemistry, but I think it will be more manageable given that I have some background knowledge of physics and chemistry.</p>
<p>Although Physics C involves calculus, it is possible to take it with Calc BC, and if you work pretty hard, I think it should be pretty doable. It would be highly beneficial for you to have at least some background knowledge going into Physics C (I know that would have helped me a lot with Physics B). Collegeboard is splitting Physics B into two separate AP’s: Physics I and II I believe- you might want to consider taking one of those courses along the way.</p>
