I was wondering if these classes are rigorous enough.
AP Bio
AP Calc AB
AP Lang
APUSH
Spanish 3
I’m not taking any other classes/electives; will this hurt the rigor?
Also I was wondering if it’s ok to not take apush if I plan on majoring in history- I’ve never taken any AP history classes before and I’m wondering if it would be too much. I really don’t want to give up on it though; history is my favorite subject.
I was recommended for Calc AB because I didn’t meet requirement for bc. I had a low C last semester and currently I have a slightly higher C, because I had trouble understanding the concepts and completing my work on time. Should I just take Stats next year and take AB senior year? Btw at our school some of the calc a material is covered in precalc, so people told me it would be fine.
No joke, I’m literally taking the same classes as you next year (my junior year), That’s if AP Lang is AP English, of course. I think it’s pretty rigorous honestly, if I wanted to make it more rigorous I probably would have taken another AP Science (either Chem or Physics). I never planned to take stats, since my school requires me to take Calc AB before I take BC, which I’ll do senior year. I plan to major in science, so I have no reason to take history either tbh.
Does your school offer Honors Calculus? Is your C in Precalc Honors or Precalc regular?
If you plan on majoring in social science or humanities, APUSH and AP lang are must take’s.
Are you strong at science? AP Bio is quite difficult. Have you taken all three of bio, chem, and physics (honors or regular)?
You should take a 6th class - could be art or anything of interest.
@MYOS1634 It’s in honors precalc.
And I will plan on taking APUSH; it’s just that some people think it’s hard.
I had recently discovered by almost failing AP Chem that I’m not good at any stem subjects.
I really want to take animation, but I don’t think I’ll have time. I think I have room for it tho, so I’ll most likely end up taking it senior year. I’ve already fulfilled my art requirements tho.
Make sure you have six subjects.
Keep in mind that an AP class approximates a college class, but at a slower pace (you have five periods a week, for two semesters, to cover that content. In college, you’ll have three periods a week for one semester to cover at least as much content.) So in college you’ll have the equivalent of five AP classes each semester. It’s Preparing for that by taking a few AP classes (not too many, just a few in subjects of interest) in the subjects you’re interested in would be a good idea.
