<p>I think you should take the second, so you can have AP physics for senior year</p>
<p>The second one!</p>
<p>My schedule for junior year will possibly be similar to your first option! Minus the wind ensemble… But AP Chem and Physics C sounds a bit overbearing, so I’d probably choose the second.</p>
<p>I can’t take Physics C senior year guys. My parents want me to take AP Bio in senior year so I have no room for Physics in senior year. Additionally, I have taken Multivariable Calculus already so shouldn’t Physics C be alot easier since many Physics topics overlap with Multivariable Calculus.</p>
<p>Can you do the second option with Physics instead of Chem?</p>
<p>No, I can’t. My parents want to me to take Chem. The only way I can take physics is this way.</p>
<p>That sucks. 
Go with the first option if you really want to! And AP Psych is a complete joke, at least it is at my school. Are you already done with your history classes?</p>
<p>ive taken american government, currently taking US history. I’ll take global studies senior year.</p>
<p>I’d go w/ the second one. Why can’t you just take physics senior year? I don’t understand why taking bio is so important that you can’t take physics. Since when are chem and bio > physics? Unless you don’t like physics, in which case go for it.</p>
<p>I would not take two AP sciences at the same time unless it is necessary. There is a lot of material to cover and it could backfire. I would try to have a discussion with your parents about the workload that AP science courses require. My son has had a number of time consuming projects in AP Physics and I have heard Biology is similar. I don’t have any experience with AP Chem. I think it would be a very difficult course load and I would counsel my child to take the #2 schedule.</p>
<p>Disagree with Anne. I think anyone who is able to take diff eq’s as a junior is clearly very capable and hard working and can handle taking two AP science classes, especially since the rest of the schedule is very lightweight–gym, wind ensemble, and english 3 are not likely to be huge time sinks. Also, those AP sciences are double blocked, so the total number of classes being taken is only 6, and only three of them are hard. More time spent in class often means less time needs to be spent on homework (those AP classes aren’t double blocked in our schools but the kids still have to take the same AP exam…)</p>
<p>My daughter also took diff eq’s, AP chem, and wind ensemble as a junior. The rest of her schedule was:
instead of AP physics C, honors physics
instead of English 3, AP English
instead of gym–AP computer science, APUSH, and AP spanish.
I will also say that AP computer science is quite timeconsuming, and I would not assume that AP physics C is going to be more work than the combination of AP cs and AP psych. For a kid who is clearly talented at math, physics C could be much easier. </p>
<p>Don’t worry about which is harder. Just take what is more interesting to you. Also, you keep saying you can’t do things because your parents want you to take this or that. What do YOU want to take?</p>
<p>I see what mathyone is saying; however, I would still advise not to double up on the science unless it is a “passion” for you. It sounds more like your parents are pushing these classes on you, but maybe I misunderstand. </p>
<p>My oldest took 6 APs both Jr and Sr year and was post AP for math both years as well. I don’t really understand what a “double block” is, so maybe that will change things for you. At our school the science courses are notoriously difficult and the pass rate for the exams is extraordinarily low. Although Multivariable has been relatively simple for him, AP Physics has been a lot of extra work whereas he found Psych and Computer Science very easy.</p>
<p>I do agree with mathy that it boils down to what you feel is most interesting and where your other interests lie. Do it for you and not your parents.</p>
<p>I just decided to take the second schedule and do AP Economics instead of AP Psychology.</p>
<p>Sounds good. All the options you mentioned are good choices. I hope your parents will allow you to follow your interests. </p>
<p>My daughter found AP chem to be pretty hard, and AP bio is a fair amount of work, but AP physics B (we don’t have C) to be quite easy. I’m sure it depends a bit on the teacher. I can’t see how an AP class could be difficult yet have a low pass rate, that sounds like incompetent teachers. I think our AP pass rates are well above average. AP cs was difficult because the teacher expected the kids to figure out a lot of things themselves.</p>
<p>@Anne, double blocked means they are using two class periods to take one class. That cuts the total number of classes and doubles the instructional time, both of which I think significantly lighten the overall workload.</p>
<p>Second. You can save Physics for senior year.</p>
<p>(Haha, read some of the comments and it appears as though you have already chosen this schedule. I should learn to read the previous comments before commenting myself.)</p>
<p>I’m choosing my Junior year schedule , which one should I do?</p>
<p>AP English : Language and Composition
SUNY Oswego American History
AP Biology
French 4 Academic
Concert Ensemble
Algebra 2/ Trig H
Gym
Syracuse University Creative Writing (1 semester)
Health (1 semester)</p>
<p>Or</p>
<p>AP English Language and Composition
SUNY Oswego American History

Human Anatomy
AP Biology

<p>Would it look better for college to take French and 1 science, or drop French and take 2 sciences? I plan on being a doctor.</p>
<p>@maddysmith97, So basically you are choosing between French and Anantomy? If you want to be a doctor, definitely take human anatomy (the second schedule). Just for future reference (I see you’re new here), you can start your own thread. You will probably get more people to give advice if you do.</p>
