<p>that's right, devaki. whatever you say. i bet you've got an EASY schedule, and that's why you're calling this "complain." you're just jealous.</p>
<p>;) kidding, jeff.</p>
<p>I think it really depends on the high schools. An AP in one is easier than a regular in another in all honesty. It really comes down to grading scale and the difficulty of the HS. I was taking all AP class till this first 5 week progress report hit me. I just couldn't handle the load of all AP classes at mine. I was waking up at 5:30 a.m. and coming home at 6p.m. every night and working for hours and having no time for myself. I sacrificed a few miserable hours to talk to other friends who don't attend the same high school or such. It nearly sent all my grades to the F yard just by doing that 3 times.</p>
<p>Here was my schedule:</p>
<p>AP U.S. Government & Politics
AP European History
AP English(III)
AP Environmental Science(Math kind of lacking so won't take AP Physics C till Senior)
AP Computer Science AB
AP Spanish
AP Statistics
HL: Algebra II/Trig(honors incase you don't know what HL stands for)</p>
<p>Grading scale:</p>
<p>95-100=A
94-88=B
81-87=C
75-80=D</p>
<p>You need a C or higher to get any credit. I've since bumped some of those down to honors which has the same scale but a somewhat lighter workload. I just need some time at least to talk to people. My schedule was owning my life as if I was a prisoner.</p>
<p>consider yourselves lucky you all get these classes, i am a junior, a year younger (of sophmore age), and i am deprived of classes
i go to a high school of 200, and i take apush for 3 semesters and only get to the 1920's, thats how bad my teacher is, hes not even certified.</p>

<p>The topic should've ended after this post. He won.</p>
<p>2 AP's are hard enough at my school...I can't imagine 6 or 7.</p>
