<p>I know junior year is like the most important year in high school-at least it is that way at my high school. i was just wondering if my planned schedule so far is good enough
Algebra II
three term science electives-saving AP Bio for senior year
Ap U.S History
Spanish 4
Two independent studies
Drawing class
English 11
madarin 1-would it look okay if I took up a new language in my junior year?</p>
<p>Future Thanks</p>
<p>We have a four-day rotating schedule with 3 periods in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
Block A- Gym
B- AP Spanish V
C- AP U.S. History II
D- AP Language & Composition
Lunch
E- Pscyhology
F- AP Biology
G- Debate
H- Trig./Analytic Geometry</p>
<p>It is fine to take up a new language junior year.
Besides, Chinese (at least the first year) is not very difficult.
You might as well take AP Biology junior year, since only the first half of senior year counts for anything in admissions. Is the course after Alg II one of the Calculi?
Otherwise, it looks good. I will add that I earned a 4 on the AP Spanish Language exam after completing the fourth year course.</p>
<p>At my school, the highest grade on the AP Spanish exam for a non-native speaker was a 3. Some students who were from Spanish-speaking countries got 4's (I don't know if anyone got a 5). Knowing that such students even found it diffuclt is esp. disheartening. I'm really quite scared about the exam.</p>
<p>We had four 5s and three 4s, and the other 17 got 3 or lower. The four 5s were outside experience (spent time abroad). None of the fours (including me) had spent time outside. And yes, it was hard, particularly the speaking part; but it will be easier next year forward because parts of the exam have been replaced. (Last year's exam was easier than the exams before 2004, which had SAT-Writing style error corrections and choose-the-best sentences...in Spanish.)</p>
<p>This is my schedule:
A: AP Language and Composition
B: AP Biology
C: French III H
D: Precalculus H
E: Instrumental Techniques (a band elective)
F: Concert Band H
G: AP European History</p>
<p>I like my schedule, except for G-days (we are on block schedule, so that means GABCD, which basically cuts out my two electives).</p>
<p>So what will the 2006 exam be like, Kman?</p>
<p>4 classes on A day, 4 classes on B day:
1. US History
2. English III AP
3. Statistics AP
4. Medical Rotation</p>

<p>We basically run a 2-semester system with 8 classes each year and 4 for every semester. Then you rotate classes during the middle of the year(end Jan.) when the new semester starts. AP classes are primarily 2 semesters long with the exception of AP Lang and AP Calc BC, both of which are 1 semester long.</p>
<p>This semester I have
0. Pre-Calc Honors
1. Spanish 3
2. AP Physics B
3. Orchestra
4. AP Language
5. US History
6. Lunch
7. AP Chemistry
8. AP Psychology</p>
<p>I wish I had a study hall...</p>
<p>0 - Orchestra
1 - P.E.
2 - AP US History
3 - AP French Lang.
4 - AP Calc AB
5 - AP English Language
6 - Chemistry (man, I should have taken AP Chem, I heard it was a tough one and chickened out...regular Chem is a joke)
7 - Study Hall</p>
<p>I'm thinking of self-studying an AP. Perhaps psychology, human geog, or enviro science? What do you think?</p>
<p>Haha, Sagar, you're so RSI-bound.</p>
<p>IB English I HL
IB French I HL
IB History of the Americas HL
IB Physics I SL
IB World Religions SL

<p>lol savoirfaire. I feel kinda bad cuz I was looking at my AP exam list for this year, and I was like, 1 freshmen year, 3 sophomore year, 3(I count AP Phys C Mech and E&M as 1) this year... I should just self study an easy AP again so it looks like I have more AP's each year. I will probably self study like Environmental science.</p>
<p>no, may i recommend statistics? hehe</p>
<p>Nah man, I took that freshmen year.</p>
