<p>So my sophomore year I went in a little egotistical and took 7 classes, didn't go we'll. Yet, this girl that's going to be a senior this year said if I take extra APs/honors classes my gpa would go up past a 5.0. For example, 6 total weighted classes could give me a 5.2 gpa. I know APs aren't easy, believe me, but I'm prepping for half of my classes over the summer, I so far am signed up for 5 classes, being honors precalculus, ap bio, apush, so English Lang, and Spanish 3. I'm basically going to prepare for apush over the summer, history is very easy to me so I'd know how to study for a history class. My dad is considering getting me a precalculus tutor, I'm good at math but help would make it so during the year I have to study less and save time, and then buying the big college board book to prepare for the SAT. My only other hard class to me is ap bio, which I plan on focusing the majority of my time on, but I'm okay with that because the bio teacher at my school is amazing. I was considering adding APES and AP Stats onto my load, I know it'll be a lot of time crunching, but I'm really putting this summer to use so I can successfully do that, so my gpa would sky rocket. I'm just wondering if anyone who's taken environmental or stats can tell me how much more I'd be piling on.</p>
<p>I personally have taken neither, though both are considered to not be very hard APs. That being said I would not take them. You will already have a lot of homework and you want to have time for ECs and prepping for standardized testing…</p>
<p>AP Stats is really easy. If you’re only taking 5 classes I think you could easily take one more class.</p>

<p>I thought eight classes was standard.</p>
<p>AP Stats is supposed to be easy. I dunno…I self-studied it and only got a 3.</p>
