Need advice from upperclassmen, I am a freshie!

<p>please comment on my incoming sophomore year schedule (what I am planning to have)</p>

<p>Honors English 10
Honors Precalculus
AP US Government
Honors Biology
Honors Physics
AP Spanish Language
Honors Computer Programming</p>

<p>Unless you are really solid in your Algebra and Trig, I would hold off on taking physics until your junior year. Assuming AP Calc comes after trig for you, the concepts that you learn in Calculus will greatly help your understanding of physics.
Other than that, that’s a good schedule, and taking two APs as a sophomore will really prepare you for the AP hell that junior year brings. Good luck.</p>

<p>I’ll double the advice above. If you’re looking at taking 2 APs you’ll assumabily want to at one point take AP Physics C (assuming your school offers it). You’d be better off just taking that your senior year after Calc (I assume you’ll take Calc your junior year). </p>

<p>I don’t know how it works at your school, but at mine we could take 6 or 7 classes. I would recommend moving up either Bio or Comp Sci to AP and taking the extra hour to study and stuff. If you can’t do that, fill the last slot with something your interested in.</p>

<p>My school offers Physics as a Freshman (I’m a freshman, and taking it). It looks good to me, if you do lots of EC’s, then that’s good… I hear from a lot of people Computer Science is easy (they already liked to code and stuff though).</p>

<p>If it helps at all, this is what my sophomore year will look like:
English II H
World History H
Algebra II H
Chemistry H
Spanish III H (skipping Spanish II, am taking Spanish I this year b/c I learned hebrew in middle school)
World Religions
Creative Writing II
Drama I/Advance Drama I and II</p>

<p>It doesn’t look nearly as hard, but I’m going to self study World History and Environmental Science. I’m also varsity cross country and tennis, self teach Japanese, writing a novel, and I take dance/acting/voice/guitar/piano lessons. That stuff takes a lot of time >.> but I love it!</p>

<p>GET OFF THIS SITE. It becomes addicting and you will not have time for anything else. :slight_smile:
In all seriousness, your schedule looks fine. If you want to take those classes, take them. Don’t listen to people who tell you you’re crazy.</p>

<p>@ OP: Stupid freshman on HSL</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m a freshmen taking physics. And no, it’s not baby physics, it’s fairly advanced (above the Honors Physics class but below the AP Physics C class). </p>

<p>As long as you are good in algebra 2 and trig (especially trig), than you’ll do well in physics.</p>
