Junior Year Schedule

<p>I'm a freshman in high school and I'm terrified about junior year. I know people that are taking the same AP's and one is getting 7 hours of sleep and one is getting 3. I want to take APUSH, AP Chem or Compsci, and AP AB Calc. Is this a manageable schedule? I also have block schedule. GUYS HELP I WANT SLEEP JUNIOR YEAR</p>

<p>It should be manageable, here’s what I can tell you after observing my friends.
APUSH isn’t hard, it’s just outlines. If you take AP World before it it’ll be easy as hell. If you take AP Euro, it’ll make you prepared.
AP Chem doesn’t give that much work. But the tests can be difficult if you don’t understand the concepts.
AP Comp Sci is a a piece of cake. Apparently.
AP Calc AB is pretty easy. Just know the material.</p>

<p>I’m taking 4 APs this yr and I can count the number of times on one hand so far that I’ve stayed up past 1:00. Latest ever was 1:30. At first I was panicking and staying up till 12:30 (which isn’t late at all) and doing hw. Now I have better management and I will usually sleep at 11 (8 hrs a sleep per day :slight_smile: ).
What I recommend though is to do all the outlines and “bigger” hw over the weekend or you’ll be pulling all nighters. (Many of my friends who are only taking 1 or 2 have pulled several all nighters.)</p>

<p>swiftyfan13x: That was my plan. Do the large homework pieces over the weekend, and try to work ahead. But I go to TJHSST, and my homework reaaally depends on what teacher I’ll get junior year. Do you yourself have any time management tips? THANKS A BUNCH</p>

<p>What I do is do the hw that’s due the latest first.
It may sound weird, but by doing so you’ll force yourself to finish all the hw that’s due the next day and you won’t get behind. But use your judgment, if you have a lot of hw that’s due the next day do them first.
On weekends, have a set time of 5-6 hrs that you’ll only do hw. I also recommend to put any social events at the end so you know if you don’t finish hw you won’t be able to go.
Have a list of everything you must get done by the end of the day. But at the same time, make your parents force you to go to sleep by a certain time so you know you can’t procrastinate.
If you have a lot of extra time, do some studying for the SATs in junior yr. Don’t get into chats w/ anyone over the internet as it’ll never end.</p>

<p>Besides, you’re only a frosh, enjoy life</p>

<p>swiftyfan13x: Do you have block schedule?</p>

<p>nope
10 char</p>

<p>I have a question: what does “10 char” mean?</p>

<p>omg yeah what does that mean</p>

<p>There is a ten character minimum to be able to post. Writhing 10 char is an easy way to get 7 of those characters.</p>
