<p>Hello all, I am posting here because I feel I can get a better idea of what ap classes to take for my junior year than on the ap thread since most people there can handle a lot more aps. I am currently taking 2 aps (stats and world) this yr and took ap human geo. as a freshmen. Right now, I'm considering taking:</p>
<p>AP Calculus AB
AP Spanish 5
AP English Lang
AP US
Hon Physics
Hon Accounting
7th class...idk yet</p>
<p>This would be a lot of work, so I was wondering if any parents have any experience with their child in too many aps or how they handled it. Calculus AB is the hardest math at my school, so I probably will spend a lot of time there. AP Spanish is 1st period everyday and only 1 class. I heard ap exam scores are erratic for that class, but it's mainly reviewing for ap exam, listening practice, etc. Ap english is a TON of annotating, so 70% of grade is from there. There are also random timed essays, so many ppl consider doing dual instead. AP US is specific knowledge with hard tests, so I think it would be a lot different and harder than Ap World. *I'm not considering taking Ap bio or chem, the most rigorous sciences at my school. Will this hurt my rigor or if I plan to go to college for some math/science type major?</p>
<p>*One other thing is ap national scholar...I will have taken 7 aps by junior yr, but the requirement is 8 aps, all 4-5's, avg of 4+. I don't think I can do it, so should I risk my gpa to take 5 aps next yr, and is it really on college apps to be a national ap scholar jr 1/10 in state vs as a senior, where it's more common?</p>
<p>*gpa is 5.0 for A in ap
4.5 for A in hon</p>
<p>.5+ for any +'s.</p>
