Junior year schedule help?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

Hey y’all,

I’m a sophomore and we will be finalizing schedules soon, so I was wondering, would this be an appealing schedule to colleges, plus a doable schedule? I have some concerns or things I have heard about each class listed under each class.

AP U.S. History

  • -I heard it is mainly self study and will be easy depending on the teacher you get

AP Calc AB-

  • I also heard it is pretty easy because the teacher is pretty good

AP Bio or AP Chem -

  • At my school, Bio has a pretty horrible teacher, but the class is simply memorization, so I’m debating between Bio or Chem haha. Should I choose a better teacher with an extremely hard class or a horrible teacher with a class that is just memorization?

AP Environmental Science or AP Human Geography -
*** I have heard that AP Human Geo has a pretty bad teacher, but the class itself is somewhat easy, it’s a lot of work though. However, I heard APES is even easier, but I’m afraid it will look bad to colleges.

AP Lang

Spanish 3 Honors

I’m really on the fence about my AP Bio and AP Hug dilemma. I want to major in history and eventually aim to be either a lawyer or a journalist so I do want to take AP Hug, but science is also one of my strong points. Which one should I take?

AP Human geography and AP Environmental science are supposedly both at the same level, being very easy. If you want to major in history, I would take as many humanities/social science courses as possible, as long as you’re interested in them.
I would take AP Chem because you need a good teacher in AP Bio to understand all the concepts and you’ll probably struggle with having a bad teacher. However, if you have prior knowledge of biology, have discipline and are good at independent learning, you should do AP Bio.

Always choose the better teacher. :slight_smile:

Choose APES, AP-HG, or another “elective” in the social sciences.
