I’m a sophomore right now, debating what classes to take next year. I’m a math and science person, and I also plan to major in a science at UCI. I will definitely take AP Bio, AP Chem, AP Calc BC, and AP Spanish 4. I don’t know whether to take AP Lang or APUSH. Which one has more workload? Should I take regular english and history since I’m already taking 4 AP classes?
I don’t know about lang, but APUSH is a lot of memorization. That and AP Bio with other hard APs would not be fun. Also, have you taken other APs before? It would be hard to jump from 0-6 (or 4 for that matter) but if you took 2-3 this year then go for it. Best of luck
Taking AP Bio and AP Chem together is madness. Each requires a heavy time commitment due to labs and have a heavy workload.
I would recommend you take AP Lang - it’ll really help you with writing, which will help in everything from papers to college apps, honors US History, plus either AP Bio or AP chem, and of course Calc BC and AP Spanish.
(Note that UC’s have a limit to how many APs and Honors classes they count.)
Is your class day a 6-period day or 7-period day?
