Junior year schedule

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Hi, I am an international school student and my school is known to be really competitive. PHEW
Anyways, for next year, our school requires all the juniors to take brit lit and pre calc, which leaves me with six subjects to choose! (We don't have honors or Ib, only regulars and AP)</p>

<p>I'm currently in journalism (writing for the school paper), and I plan to continue on next year
Also, I am now taking Chinese 2 and going to continue on with Chinese 3.</p>

<p>So that leaves me with four choices.
I am planning to do APUSH, AP Chem, AP Econ (or AP Psychology), AP Lang</p>

<p>But, is four APs way to much for a junior? Also, I want to take an art class, but not sure which class to take out, since the four APs are all the ones I planned on taking since the start of sophomore year, and wanted to take. </p>

<p>GAHHHH HELP! </p>

<p>Focus on what you enjoy and want to study in college. I do enjoy writing and government/politics, so I stayed away from AP Chem and AP Bio (I also took 1 semester of AP Calculus after I dropped it because it was daily torture). If you are interested in journalism, I would not take AP Chem, especially since the AP Chem test is considered the most difficult of all AP test, but I’m not sure how boring/difficult the actual class is. If you want to take art, you should, because you don’t need all of those AP classes. I always have one easy class in my schedule so I’m not overwhelmed, like Art, or Webpage design.</p>
