junior year course selection (ap seminar or ap hug?)

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

Hi! I need advice on my junior year schedule.

So I’m definitely taking AP Calc AB, APUSH, AP Lang, and two other honors classes, but I have no idea what to select for my elective. I’m picking between AP Seminar and APHUG. I am very interested in AP Seminar because I do want to learn what a real college course load is like, and I heard from the teacher himself that the class is not as rigorous as other classes (I haven’t asked for student testimonials yet so I don’t know this is entirely true), but I have some doubts as to its difficulty level…I do not want to be very stressed out during junior year and I saw that the AP Seminar exam 5 rate was very low. For AP HUG, I heard that it was an amazing class, but I already will be taking APUSH…will the two social sciences be too tough? Plus, the teacher is changing for next year so I won’t know if they are good or not.

Thank you for your advice in advance!

It is okay to be a high school student in HS. You are already up to AP Calc AB as a junior, that is very advanced.

What about something like AP Econ? or AP Psych?

or what about Photography or something interesting?

AP HUG is very easy and interesting with lots of relevant elements about the current world.
3 APs/ 2 Honors junior year is already a pretty heavy workload.
