<p>Is it just me, or is junior year too easy? I took 5 APs this year: US, Enviro, Chem, Calc BC, and Bio. I dont do much hw and spend a lot of time on sparknotes and still end up with A's. Even though I run XC, I still have at least an hour everyday of free time (go to bed at 10:30). Is this normal or am I not working hard enough?</p>
<p>because 1 hour of free time is obviously too much...</p>
<p>another dumb college confidential thread.</p>
<p>You're good. Master Minesweeper in your free time. :D</p>
<p>Wow, you must have easy teachers.</p>
<p>5 aps ? I have 0 and my schools 2 yrs behind 'n math 1 yr in everything else and were all stupid if u all think ur schools hard get an iep pretend ur "special" move to long island and go 4 a interview i would love to have u at vss i need more juniors especially if ur a grl im the only 1</p>
<p>Only one hour of freetime? That's depressing. ):</p>
<p>by one hour, I'm discounting all the time that I waste while attempting to study/do homework. Also, you guys dont seem surprised at my free time. Judging from some of the threads, most people seem to be studying until midnight everyday.</p>
<p>you must go to a school in the south...</p>
<p>easy? heck no</p>
<p>hmm i dropped 1 of my honors before school even started, and my only AP a month in. </p>
<p>i only have 2 honors and basically do no homework whatsoever but complain that junior year is too hard because im barely getting a 3.0. </p>
<p>whereas sophomore year i also had just 2 honors courses, barely ever did homework, and got a 3.6</p>
<p>Um, so are you complaining about this?</p>
<p>You're lucky, then.</p>
<p>At the beginning of my junior year, I thought it was impossible with all the busywork I was getting from APUSH.</p>
<p>By the end, though, I'd gotten pretty used to the ropes and definitely had more free time to waste.</p>
<p>bendumfront - no not really even though i said that. i was mostly pointing out how junior year is harder then sophomore year.</p>
<p>I have no clue how you're doing it! There aren't a lot of AP classes at my school so as a junior I'm taking APUSH,Pre Calc,Band,America Lit, & Physics..and I never have free time. Granted, during the begining of the year I ran CC & was in the school play. Some people can just get away with sparknotes & be fine...just some people have to work a heck of a lot harder.</p>
<p>how are you doing this?? my AP physics teacher said we need to spend at least one hour a night on it, AP bio just gives us like 1.5 everynight...and chemm...whoa....i dont even know what we are doing in that class..</p>
<p>^^You have good teachers.
You can't get past the hard sciences without lots of hard work.</p>
<p>bio = 2 hrs per chapter which is like once a week
chem = uhhh... Cram for midterm and final
APUSH = invadersrealm.com!
Am Lit = Just some book reading. No major essays yet
Enviro Sci = Study off/memorize practice tests
Calc = slack off and cram for midterm and final</p>
<p>Sometimes on the weekends, I just feel guilty about having so much free time and want to invest it into something useful like ECs, but cant think of what.</p>
<p>You can do my homework since you have so much free time:). I feel I don't have enough free time. I have been slacking off a bit and had a bunch of Cs(82-86%) grades this quarter. I need to shape up and that is all I know.</p>
<p>Getting a 95% or higher to make an A for this semester is looking like a huge battle at the moment. :(</p>
<p>wow this thread makes me depressed.</p>
<p>it's ok if you're getting A's, but just make sure you're learning enough so when SAT II/AP tests come by, you'll be ready for them</p>
