One AP Class Junior Year?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Hi everyone. I know I've LONG since submitted my classes but I can't help but worry over ny class choice. For my junior year, I'm taking these classes;
-AVID
-APUSH
-Economics (required)/Leadership
-Med Terms
-Spanish 2
-Adv. Comp/Lit
-Pre-Calc
-Honors Physics</p>

<p>Many people have nagged at me about not taking more AP class but I'm taking more senior year:
-AVID
-AP Governement
-Human A&P
-Spanish 3
-AP English
-AP Physics
-AP Calculus
-AP Chem or AP Bio.</p>

<p>That gives me a total of 7 when I graduate (I took AP World History Sophomore year) so I figure it's okay that I'm only taking one Junior year as long as I up the number senior year...?</p>

<p>7 total APs is a respectable number. It is more important to do well in the APs you take than to take a lot of them.</p>

<p>Two things to consider:

  1. Your applications will be in during the first semester of senior year so the rigor that will be on your application is what you’ve done through junior year.</p>

<ol>
<li> Going from 1 AP to 5 may be a big jump in workload in a busy senior year.</li>
</ol>

<p>I’d suggest taking at least one more AP in junior year and 1 less senior year.</p>
