When I started school this year, I wasn’t really happy with my schedule. the AP Statistics class I wanted to take had been filled up and I wanted to keep boosting my weighted GPA so I took AP Physics instead, and I had gotten stuck with my school’s sub par calculus teacher. and so now I’m taking AP World, Macroeconomics, Physics, Calc AB, and English. I wanted to not take the AB calculus exam because I heard you can take the BC exam and get a sub score for AB, so I could essentially get two in one, and I’m not taking the Physics exam as it is very hard, and I am bad at physics. I thought it would be OK to do this, but the other day my friend talked to me and told me that competitive colleges aren’t going to like the fact that I took the AP class and not the AP test and that if I don’t send it in they will assume either
- That I don’t really know the material or
- That I took it and failed it.
What should I do? I am already taking three AP exams English, World and Macroeconomics, and I might do five ( I might try to get national scholars by taking Human Geography and Microeconomics), but I KNOW I wont do well on Physics and mediocre on Calculus if I took them separately, let alone with the other three, Any suggestions?
